Chapter 283: Just as the Opening Begins: Izunokan vs. Shutoku

The score is 86:53.

"Shutoku is down by 33 points..."

"They're only down by 33 points?!"

Aida Riko's eyes suddenly widened; like the others from Seirin, what shocked everyone wasn't Izunokan's lead, but the fact that the lead was...

Too small.

"As expected of the Generation of Miracles...?"

Before Aida Riko could finish her sentence, she saw Yukimiya Kazuma rush into the paint, complete a putback dunk, immediately release the rim, land, and sprint rapidly toward the baseline near the corner on Shutoku's end.

A smooth yet urgent sequence; before Aida Riko could figure out why, Shutoku immediately gave the answer.

She saw Shutoku inbound the ball with incredible speed, as urgent as stealing time in the final seconds of a game; Mizuho Shintaro, whom Izunokan had seen once before, caught the ball and immediately went into a shooting motion!

Aida Riko: "!?"

Hey!

Hey!

Are you kidding me?!

That's your own half-court, not Izunokan's!

And...

Is Yukimiya Kazuma seriously in a state of fierce, death-defying defense?!

As if...

Mizuho Shintaro was really going to shoot from there?

Liang Huayin stared in shock, eyes wide, and turned to look at Koganei Shinji, "Senior, he... Mizuho has already expanded his range to the entire court?!"

Koganei swallowed dryly and nodded, "That's right... but... from the start until now, he has only made one of those exaggerated full-court shots..."

Ah...

Only one made shot...

That's good...

If he had that terrifying 100% accuracy rate, it would be too horrifying.

However, just as the Seirin crowd began to relax, they heard Koganei Shinji take a huge gasp and continue, "Because he has only successfully attempted one three-pointer from that distance..."

As soon as Koganei finished speaking, before the Seirin crowd could even react with shock, the absurd baseline duel on the court quickly decided the winner.

Mizuho Shintaro dribbled to create space, but under Yukimiya Kazuma's defense, he found every step difficult; it was a defensive stance they had never seen on Yukimiya Kazuma during Seirin and Izunokan's practice match.

"This is it...!"

"Yukimiya Kazuma's defense has completely tied down Mizuho!"

"And then..."

Mizuho Shintaro suddenly pulled up for a jump shot!

Everyone from Seirin, upon seeing this shot, all furrowed their brows.
