Chapter 320: The Green Lightning That Suddenly Surged From the Depths of His Eyes!
On the court, the battle between Facing Qingfeng and Yukimiya Kazuma continued; the two were like small boats darting swiftly through a raging river, their ultra-high-frequency movements leaving spectators dizzy.
Although Facing Qingfeng had regained his peak form, the score between Seirin and Tōō kept alternating in the lead.
Yukimiya Kazuma could rarely defend against Facing Qingfeng Daiki in his Wild Limit state.
'Soaring Bird', 'Startling String', 'Arrow Concealment', 'Catch-Redirect-Release', 'Devil's Footwork'—Facing Qingfeng could rarely defend against Yukimiya Kazuma either, who suddenly unleashed a full barrage of combo techniques at the start of the second quarter.
The match continued until the latter half of the second quarter; the score on the court remained deadlocked, yet this deadlock existed only within the second quarter, built upon Seirin's thirteen-point lead from the first.
In fact, because Tōō missed a shot right at the start of the second quarter, the gap widened by two points.
Seirin versus Tōō.
54:39.
In the stands.
Midorima Shintarō adjusted his glasses; beside him, occupying a spectator seat, was a giant teddy bear, and one seat away sat Kise, "Facing Qingfeng's current state means Yukimiya Kazuma clearly struggles to hold him off on offense, but Facing Qingfeng is the same..."
"He can't defend against Yukimiya..."
"Yukimiya's offensive combinations are quite complex..."
"That extreme high-speed, high-altitude 723 shot, though currently unable to score more simply and brutally from beyond the three-point line due to Facing Qingfeng's speed and reaction..."
"... but paired with extreme footwork threats near the paint and increasingly frequent bursts of power, Yukimiya possesses surprisingly diverse offensive options near the free-throw line."
Kise, beside him, strained to look at Midorima through the teddy bear, "Actually, isn't Little Facing Qingfeng still superior in strength? It seems Little Yukimiya's rounds where he forces his way through with power are increasing."
Midorima pushed the teddy bear back into place where Kise had shoved it, speaking calmly, "That is also part of strength."
However...
What Kise said was partly right; Facing Qingfeng still held the advantage in strength.
For Yukimiya Kazuma, with that body type, to output power at the level of Midorima Shintarō, one can imagine the degree of stamina consumption; perhaps the stamina advantage Seirin established in the first quarter will be completely squandered in this one.
And...
He was pushing Facing Qingfeng too hard.
