Chapter 34

【Rookie Ace's War Cry (Green Lv.2): After completing a successful defense, take the opportunity to let out a morale-boosting roar, which can effectively increase the shooting percentage of teammates on the court by 15% and slightly restore the stamina of teammates on the court. (Limited to once per match, each time lasts for 5 possessions)】

Activate!

On the court, the players of Baishui Hall listened to the roar of Yukimiya Kazuma beside their ears; everyone seemed to be infected by it, and following that, the familiar surge of hot-bloodedness returned!

On the other side, Aomine Daiki was startled by Yukimiya Kazuma’s shout and immediately regained his focus.

Very good!

Just like this!

Only like this is it interesting!

Yukimiya Kazuma...

You are much more capable than I anticipated!

After Yukimiya let out a shout, he met Aomine Daiki’s burning gaze and immediately returned to his ‘normal’ state.

“Hoo...”

Defending a shot right from the start successfully triggered the battle cry.

It seems...

Luck is also on my side.

12 points.

I don’t know if Aomine will continue to attack for 4 minutes this quarter, but I must limit his scoring to under 12 points during this period.

Baishui Hall Middle School’s offense remained constipated, but facing defense of the Generation of Miracles’ level, there was no helping it.

Soon.

Aomine Daiki attacked again.

Yukimiya Kazuma tried his best to defend against Aomine’s dribbling while mobilizing his teammates.

Activating ‘Rookie Ace’s Battle Cry’, what Yukimiya wanted was not the 15% shooting accuracy bonus for 5 turns, but the recovery of his teammates’ stamina; against Aomine’s running ability, his teammates’ help defense also required a massive amount of stamina.

*Slap~*

*Slap~*

*Slap~*

Super high-speed dribbling, continuous feints!

Yukimiya Kazuma widened his eyes; the ‘Playmaking Master’ ability allowed him to perceive the opponent’s dribbling with all his might, his body swaying along with the opponent’s changes in direction.

He looked precarious, as if he could be broken through at any moment, yet he persisted for a long time, and for a short while, it actually seemed like he was trading blows with Aomine.

However...

‘Playmaking Master’ is, after all, not a specialized defensive badge.

On the defensive end, although a deep understanding of ball control allows for a certain degree of dismantling the opponent’s handling and provides great help, whether one can react in time and keep up is an entirely different matter.

Therefore...

*Slap~*

*Slap~*

*Slap~*

Under Aomine’s even more exaggerated continuous fancy ball-pulling!

Yukimiya Kazuma was shaken, his movements slowing for an instant!

Aomine pushed off the ground to accelerate, exploding instantly; with just this move, he had already shaken off Yukimiya.

Charging into the paint.

Hanain Ryo and Teruyama Daisuke helped from both sides, trying their best to delay Aomine’s attack time.

This was a very important link.

If Aomine’s time consumed per offensive turn is lengthened, his scoring total in his offensive turns will naturally decrease.

3s...

Perhaps even shorter!

Aomine passed another defensive line!

Taketo Masaki was already prepared to protect the rim!

A head-on confrontation.

Aomine flew up, crossing a long distance in the air.

Taketo Masaki raised his long arms, but Aomine used a nimble mid-air adjustment to dodge, and even when finally releasing the shot, he used an absurd ‘toss’ to flick the ball into the basket, even including Yukimiya’s block as he returned to defend!

*Swish~!*

The entire sequence of movements was fluid as clouds and flowing water!

“Whoa!”

“Wow!”

“So strong!”

“He can even score like that...?!”

Inside the Tokyo Second Gymnasium, having witnessed the Generation of Miracles’ ‘full-power’ offense, which was different from before, all the spectators exclaimed in disbelief!

Aomine landed without any expression, but after turning around, he came directly in front of Yukimiya Kazuma and proceeded to assume a low-waisted defensive stance.

Yukimiya Kazuma: “!”

“Aomine is switching to defend me? That’s truly great! Uh...” The sudden unexpected joy made Yukimiya Kazuma unable to hold back his inner thoughts.

Realizing this, Yukimiya decisively shut his mouth; when he looked back, Aomine Daiki’s face had indeed darkened a few shades.

No choice.

Can’t blame Yukimiya Kazuma for being excited.

It was just that the defensive pressure from Akashi’s Emperor Eye was too great; despite having ‘Playmaking Master’, his strongest playmaking ability, he couldn’t utilize it at all. That state of being tense and alert every second made him feel incredibly uncomfortable.

Now that it’s Aomine, although he still lacks finishing ability, at least in terms of ball control and dribbling, he can trade blows!

The game continued.

Yukimiya Kazuma received the inbound pass from Kasuga Yuji at the baseline, and Aomine Daiki began to lead the defense from the backcourt.

*Slap~*

*Slap~*

*Slap~*

Yukimiya performed continuous between-the-legs crossovers; his super-high ball-handling attribute, combined with the ‘Playmaking Master’ that could perfectly control and output this attribute, made his dribbling terrifyingly fast at this moment!

Opposite him, Aomine Daiki watched Yukimiya Kazuma’s movements.

A look of excitement also overflowed from the depths of his eyes.

So fast!

Because of Akashi...

Actually, he had wanted to have a 1v1 offensive and defensive duel with him since the first quarter!

Sure enough...

He didn’t disappoint!

This guy Akashi is quite easy to talk to today!

The crisp and clean ball handling was at the complete opposite extreme of Aomine Daiki’s style, yet they shared a similar marvelous fluidity in the connection of movements.

Straight-line breakthrough!

Aomine’s eyes narrowed, the beastly aura around him becoming more solid; he suddenly pulled back along with Yukimiya, and after forcing the opponent to a stop, he arrived in front of Yukimiya Kazuma once again!

However, Yukimiya Kazuma had now successfully pushed to Teiko’s half; compared to the first quarter where he was forced to stick his butt out and grind, he felt much more comfortable now!

Yukimiya glanced behind Aomine; he already understood Akashi’s intention in switching Aomine to defend him in the second quarter.

He called for a screen.

Taketo Masaki stepped up from the paint. ===== CHAPTER 83 =====
