Chapter 305: Wildness, indeed, was within his expectations!

~5 min read 841 words

At this moment, inside the entire stadium, everyone's attention was focused on Yukimiya Kazuma and Aoimori Daiki in the center of the court.

Yukimiya Kazuma had not been broken through by Aoimori Daiki yet!

But...

Aoimori Daiki's gaze held not the slightest trace of impatience.

Lowering his center of gravity, a sudden attack to the right after a crossover, and Yukimiya Kazuma's 'Ghost Spider' reacted the instant Aoimori Daiki surged forward!

But this time was somewhat different; after Aoimori Daiki rushed over, although he still jumped to start, his left arm wrapped around Yukimiya's body, and his center of gravity leaned forward!

The exaggerated forward lean caused a gasp from the stands, because Aoimori Daiki now looked as if he were about to fall forward almost parallel to the ground.

Seeing this, Yukimiya Kazuma couldn't help but pause for a moment.

So that was the plan.

Using the momentum of the breakthrough speed to jump forward, combined with an exaggerated forward lean of the body and the extension of the arm, instantly creating an effect of leading by several body lengths, naturally putting distance between himself and the defender!

Aoimori Daiki flung himself into the air without a shred of hesitation!

Then...

Just as Yukimiya had anticipated, Aoimori Daiki held the ball with one hand, stretched forward as far as possible, and scooped the ball upward from below!

Although the sudden move prevented Yukimiya Kazuma from responding correctly immediately, 'Lv4 I Love Jump Shots' still erupted with astonishing height the instant Yukimiya leaped!

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

Yukimiya leaped into the air; the core badge of the 'I Love Series', capable of completing a Murasakibara-level 'Super Wide-Range Defense', combined with Yukimiya's height and wingspan, meant that in the blink of an eye, the edge of Aoimori Daiki's vision could already see Yukimiya's block hand.

But at this moment, Yukimiya's body was still actually a distance away from the ball in Aoimori Daiki's hand; this block relied entirely on sheer combined height to make up for the lack of distance!

Aoimori Daiki's pupils contracted.

He really can jump.

Yukimiya.

But...

This block at the extreme distance, the positioning must be off, right?!

Aoimori Daiki executed a one-handed bowling throw, hurling the ball toward the hoop at extreme speed, while Yukimiya Kazuma's block missed by the distance of two finger joints; amidst the stunned gazes of everyone, Aoimori Daiki's Formless Shot crashed against the backboard with a clang.

Then...

It bounced very hard off the rim, rattling left and right with a 'clang-clang' several times, before finally falling into the net.

Ookuchi Longzhi was dumbfounded watching from the side!

Aoimori Daiki's Formless Shot had shown early signs during the National Tournament in his second year, and afterward became famous nationwide; Ookuchi Longzhi had even witnessed it firsthand.

But now, in this phase of explosive physical growth, seeing this scene again revealed a completely different power!

And...

What surprised Ookuchi Longzhi the most was that Yukimiya failed to stop him; in Ookuchi Longzhi's view, this was actually even more absurd.

After seeing Aoimori Daiki's basket, Tsuchiya Dahe was also stunned; then, seeing Yukimiya Kazuma still standing motionless where he failed to defend, he hurried forward to encourage him.

"It's fine, we are leading, he just..."

Tsuchiya Dahe walked closer, saw Yukimiya Kazuma's expression clearly, and was instantly struck dumb; the words in his mouth ultimately failed to be fully spoken.

In the past, except for a few rare special states, Yukimiya had always given Tsuchiya the feeling of being calm and self-possessed.

But just now, Yukimiya...

Was actually this excited?!

The next possession.

Izumigawa's offense; Yukimiya Kazuma still received the ball at the center circle.

Opposite him, Aoimori Daiki now had both hands hanging by his sides, his whole body maintaining an extremely relaxed posture, while behind him was the crystallization of Aoimori Daiki's signature wild spirit!

Hiss~!

Pushing past Aoimori Daiki with strength, followed by a shot fake.

The threat of 'Midorima's Three-Point Ability' forced Aoimori Daiki to jump, because if he didn't block it, he would be hit for a three-pointer; this threat was simply too great.

In the stands, Midorima watched Yukimiya Kazuma's movement, his whole body lost in thought.

Aoimori Daiki was at a disadvantage in height and wingspan after all, so Yukimiya could succeed repeatedly by doing this; in his showdown with Yukimiya, the latter could often wait until Aoimori Daiki truly jumped before attempting the block.

And...

Although during the offense, Yukimiya and Aoimori Daiki's jumps looked about the same.

But when it came to defense, this guy Yukimiya was very strange; when blocking, he would jump much higher and faster than in a normal offense, which was also the key reason Yukimiya could jump later when defending him.

After faking Aoimori Daiki's jump, Yukimiya Kazuma immediately broke through!

However...

The instant Yukimiya Kazuma rushed from the center circle to just before the three-point line, the next moment, Aoimori Daiki had already reappeared before him; the two, nearly colliding, both had their pupils contract!
