Chapter 335

At this moment, the point difference stood at six.

In the stands, seeing the grave expression on Qingfeng's face, Sasame Akira suddenly spoke to Hanachou Shuichi beside him:

"Yukimiya Kazuma stands further back when defending. After entering the Zone, his defensive range has likely surpassed reason. In this situation of retreating to create distance, he can both defend against Qingfeng's drive and simultaneously cover the formless shot..."

Step~!

The instant Qingfeng stepped one pace before the three-point line, Qingfeng's beastly instinct suddenly sensed the most direct threat.

Qingfeng Daiki: "……!"

Right here...

Is this your defensive range?

Although Yukimiya Kazuma was more than a step away from Qingfeng, Qingfeng suddenly chose to drive, then, without shaking off Yukimiya, jumped to attack the basket!

However, the next second, Yukimiya Kazuma blocked right before his eyes, swatting the ball away with a single palm!

"Blocked!"

"Izumotani has the ball!"

"Passed to Yukimiya Kazuma..."

"Fast break!"

Among those on the court, only Qingfeng, who had also activated the Zone, could barely keep up, but the gap in stamina created a level difference between their Zones.

At this moment, in Tōō's half-court.

"Stop him!!"

"Damn it!!"

Wakamatsu Kōsuke suspected he must have been distracted just now; otherwise, how could someone vanish from his sight in the blink of an eye?!

Turning his head, it turned out...

He was already that far away?!

Tōō's players rushed to surround Yukimiya Kazuma, and then they saw him bend low, accelerate, pull the ball, and change direction...

One after another...

The defensive line collapsed!

"Damn it!"

"What kind of monster is this?!"

Suzasa Kadenori's pupils suddenly contracted. He had already taken his position early, waiting for Yukimiya Kazuma, yet even with his prepared defense, he could only watch helplessly as the opponent spun around and completely passed him!

That instant spin, like a small gyroscope, sent his hair slicing through, stinging his face!

Fearful expressions appeared on the faces of the Tōō group, including Imayoshi Shōichi, all wearing the same look.

In the blink of an eye.

Inside Tōō's three-point line.

A cold indifference filled the depths of Yukimiya Kazuma's eyes; the series of defensive line breaches just now seemed to have sparked no interest in him at all. At least, they were far less attractive than the basket before him.

Except for the basket...

It seemed he could no longer accommodate anyone else in his eyes.

Hiss~!

Jumping from the free-throw line!

Height!

It was an unprecedented height!

His right arm drew back like a long bow!

Lightning suddenly erupted violently from the depths of his eyes into the air!

This shot was not a dunk, yet it was no different from one; Yukimiya Kazuma, jumping from the free-throw line, reached a height where his eyes were even above the rim at the midpoint of his jump!

And then, at this distance where he couldn't reach the rim, his body leaned forward...

Slamming down!

The basketball, at an extremely fast speed, whistled like a cannonball, heading straight for the basket!

Clang~!

Everyone in the arena, no matter how far apart, heard the explosive sound of this 'dunk' where the hand never touched the rim clearly; especially Kagami, sitting in the stands, who shot to his feet upon seeing this scene!

Scoring in the blink of an eye, and in such a violent manner, everyone instinctively held their breath.

The steep forward angle of his body caused Yukimiya Kazuma to take several steps forward to cushion his landing after touching down, right up to the 'big cannon' of the sideline photographer, while also moving even closer to the stands.

Gazing at the shocked faces before him.

Yukimiya Kazuma suddenly spread his arms wide!

Head thrown back!

Eyes closed!

Fists clenched!

This moment of beautiful silence created by him, Yukimiya Kazuma!

Pleasure surged continuously!
