Chapter 326: I Think He's Overjoyed~!

The defender assigned to Dakou Longzhi, Suza Kaden, failed to keep up; even though Sakurai Ryo's quick jump shot within the team was already fast enough, Dakou Longzhi's move this time was clearly faster!

And it looked very much like Yukimiya Kazuma's shooting motion!

Right...

What Momoi said...

Yukimiya Kazuma's passing ability.

The opponent has been playing one-on-one; I almost forgot, he is also a passer with terrifying ability.

Yukimiya Kazuma's 'Bow Concealment' plus 'Pass-Control Master'.

This allowed him to create an opportunity for a fake shot and real pass in front of Facing Qingfeng in Zone state.

The almost instantaneous quick release of 'Bow Concealment', followed by Facing Qingfeng's style of extreme backward lean not aimed at scoring, created passing space.

And Facing Qingfeng...

Once he chooses to jump for a block, then Xuegongjiu Society will pass; if he doesn't jump, then 'Bow Concealment' will shoot to the end.

A dilemma.

Even if Facing Qingfeng has entered Zone, it is not easy to defend.

However, Facing Qingfeng's Zone is still terrifying; just now, with Yukimiya Kazuma's super-fast pass "727", Facing Qingfeng, who had already made a blocking motion, suddenly leaned forward in mid-air and almost touched it.

Therefore, the two foundations enabling Xuegongjiu Society's fake shot and real pass are teammates making suitable active runs to receive the ball, and active power cancellation against the pass, just like Dakou Longzhi.

For the former, without teammates running out suitable passing lanes, it would be like just now; even with an extremely exaggerated backward lean, it still could not escape Facing Qingfeng's defensive coverage.

For the latter, if one cannot achieve power cancellation against Xuegongjiu Society's powerful version of 'Pass-Control Master: Linkage', the effect of 'Linkage' cannot be utilized, failing to guide a rapid shot upon receiving the ball; leaving aside the defense of the other Touhou members, Facing Qingfeng's Zone could switch defense from Xuegongjiu Society in the blink of an eye.

Zone is just that absurd, a 1-versus-5 in both offense and defense.

So the opportunity was fleeting, lasting only that one instant.

On the court.

Dakou Longzhi's basket did not draw much attention from Facing Qingfeng; he simply looked at Yukimiya Kazuma and suddenly said in a low voice, "That kind of passing trick again..."

"Yukimiya..."

"Isn't it time for our showdown?!"

Yukimiya Kazuma turned his head to glance at the remaining game time and current score on the scoreboard; when he turned back, Facing Qingfeng, in Zone state and continuously emitting an oppressive aura, was staring at him with burning eyes.

In that instant, a heavy sense of pressure pressed heavily upon his shoulders.

Just then.

Facing Qingfeng reached a hand backward, and the ball immediately came into his hands.

Yukimiya Kazuma stood ready, however...

"Yukimiya..."

"You, who only think of playing with passing tricks, your focus is not concentrated enough!"

Yukimiya Kazuma: "...!"

So fast it cannot be described in words.

Anyway, with Yukimiya Kazuma's previous defensive strategy, stopping Facing Qingfeng again was already impossible!

After destroying Yukimiya Kazuma's 'Ghost Spider', Facing Qingfeng appeared in front of Dakou Longzhi in the blink of an eye!

Then...

A behind-the-back dribble as if frozen in time!

Acceleration...

Dribbling past!

It was clearly just a very ordinary move, but executed by Facing Qingfeng in his current Zone state, every single move like this turned into an exceptionally terrifying weapon!

"Facing Qingfeng is at it again; no one at Quan Zhen Guan can stop him!"

"That sudden stop behind-the-back dribble; for an instant, it seemed the very air froze!"

"But it did delay things slightly for a moment...?"

"Yukimiya Kazuma hasn't given up!"

Facing Qingfeng stepped one small step inside the free-throw line, with Yukimiya Kazuma leaping up beside him!

The block height triggered by 'I Love Blocking Dunks' was equally terrifying, but under Zone, this was no longer Yukimiya Kazuma's domain...

Grabbing the ball with one hand!

Turning!

Switching the ball from right hand to left in mid-air!

In the instant spinning past Yukimiya's block!

Dunk!

Clang~!

Under the stunned gazes of everyone, Facing Qingfeng slammed the ball fiercely into the hoop!

With absolutely no hanging-on-the-rim motion, he landed and immediately turned to find Yukimiya Kazuma; his level of focus was such that, in his eyes now, there was probably only one ball and one Yukimiya Kazuma.

After scoring, Facing Qingfeng did not say a single word; he simply defended with overwhelming pressure. His level of concentration was something Yukimiya Kazuma had never seen before.

Normally, because Facing Qingfeng scored so easily, Yukimiya Kazuma might have felt frustration, excitement... and so on, emotions arising from himself.

But now...

What he felt was no longer regret and frustration over failed defense.

It was pure respect.

Respect for the extreme realm that Facing Qingfeng's basketball has already reached.

Yukimiya Kazuma: "..."

Kazuma...

Impressive.

It's Seirin's turn.

Yukimiya Kazuma drove to the free-throw line.

He stood near the free-throw line of Seirin, using this position as a pivot to draw Facing Qingfeng's defense with his own ability and pass the ball out.

It sounds simple, but...

Devilish footwork.

Receive, neutralize, release.

The various modes of Asuka.

All the way to the ultimate passing and control master.

Not a single one was left behind.

From the far end, Long Tian Zhang set a screen for Tsuchiya Dahe; the moment the latter slipped past his side, he prepared to receive the pass...

It was obvious.

The moment he caught the ball, due to the extraordinary speed of the pass, Tsuchiya Dahe's expression was very Grave.

Wakamatsu Kosuke was blocked by Long Tian Zhang's screen; Sakurai Ryo, who was originally guarding Long Tian Zhang, immediately moved up to help defend, but he was already a step slower than his opponent, and with his height and jumping ability compared to an inside player like Tsuchiya Dahe, they were simply not on the same level...
