Chapter 36
Yukimiya: “Hey.”
Aomine: “Hmm?”
Aomine glanced at Yukimiya; the interest that had been dampened in the second quarter suddenly rose again upon seeing the confident look in the other’s eyes: “Hmph, beaten so miserably, I don’t know what you’re excited about.”
Yukimiya raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, “I can’t wait to see your sour face in a while~”
Aomine: “...”
Aomine: “I hope your best isn’t just your mouth, like in the first half, having no power to fight back.”
Yukimiya: “I hope you don’t make excuses later about not being awake, or your body being rusty from not training properly.”
When Kise Ryota passed by the two, he quietly glanced at Yukimiya Kazuma, thinking that little Yukimiya seemed to really be like what little Midorima said, his personality was a bit nasty.
Saying things like ‘nice shot’ or ‘nice try’ on the court before, was it really just mocking people? ===== CHAPTER 88 =====
The second half of the game began, and the eyes of all the spectators at the scene, along with enthusiastic cheers, focused on the two people: Aomine Daiki and Yukimiya Kazuma.
Since the beginning of this game, this had been the tone.
At the start of every quarter, it was a duel between these two.
Although Yukimiya Kazuma was at an absolute disadvantage on the court, everyone couldn’t help but applaud him for his persistent and resourceful defense every time.
At this moment, on the court.
Yukimiya Kazuma felt relaxed and powerful all over.
Defensive abilities far beyond what he could touch were poured in, making him feel a completely different new world that a player could reach.
In addition to the defensive ‘Spider Leg Dance’ brought by the ‘Spider Dance’ badge, what Yukimiya Kazuma cared about more was actually the suddenly raised ‘Man-to-Man Defense’ and ‘Stamina’.
This situation was just like when he first obtained ‘Playmaking Master’; 96 ball control, 93 passing, clearly the standard attributes for wearing ‘Playmaking Master’, so the system upgraded them together as a benefit.
And ‘Spider Dance’, as a one-time badge, although the attribute boost is temporary, the principle must be the same as ‘Playmaking Master’.
However...
He couldn’t see the numbers behind the temporarily boosted attribute bars!
This situation...
If you look into it, it’s quite meaningful.
The system not letting him see the specific peak numbers, does it mean that the full point of the attribute value is not 100? Otherwise, why would it be a blur?
“Distracted in front of me?!”
Aomine Daiki’s fighting spirit gradually burned in his eyes; the second half started with Teiko’s ball possession, and he had already dribbled close by this time, but when he looked up, he saw Yukimiya Kazuma, who was somewhat distracted.
“Not at all.”
Distracted?
This is called having spare energy!
After all, just looking at the attributes now, my defense, even I don’t know how strong it is.
“Come on!” Yukimiya Kazuma lowered his waist, reached out one hand, and beckoned to Aomine, “A friendly reminder before you attack, right here right now...”
“Is the gates of hell!”
Actually, Yukimiya Kazuma didn’t need to say it; Aomine’s wild instinct could also feel the change in the opponent.
Immediately...
An extremely fast dribbling assault!
However, Yukimiya Kazuma used an incredibly fast reaction and a strange, very low-center-of-gravity footwork to suddenly intercept in front of Aomine Daiki!
Aomine: “!?”
Regarding the defense Yukimiya displayed, Aomine’s eyes narrowed slightly, and the dribbling in his hands gradually became wilder, with seemingly chaotic and outrageous movements becoming increasingly exaggerated!
*Slap~*
*Slap~*
*Slap~*
Fancy, varied, unpredictable!
Aomine Daiki displayed his unique talent for super-high-speed dribbling, like a dancer with wide-open movements, making everyone who saw his actions shocked by the fluidity beneath his rugged posture!
However...
Can’t get past!
Yukimiya, in the defensive position, easily entered a state of super-high concentration, his whole person as quiet as a poisonous spider waiting for prey!
Movements with a lower waist than before actually brought faster defensive movement, beautiful defensive footwork, as if dancing in rhythm with Aomine’s dribbling!
Concentrate...
Keep concentrating...
Yukimiya Kazuma: “!”
As expected of ‘epic-level boosted man-to-man defensive ability’, the badge did not deceive me!
Under the ‘Spider Leg Dance’, Yukimiya Kazuma gradually felt the unique airflow and vibrations described by the badge, and his super-fast neural reflexes gradually adapted, even exceeding Aomine’s dazzling fancy movements.
The excitement accumulated in his heart was completely hidden under the effect of the badge, leaving only pupils that had expanded in the depths of his eyes, pitch-black as if they were about to fill the eye sockets!
“Aomine...”
“Still not coming over?”
“I can’t wait anymore!”
Yukimiya Kazuma’s tone, with its icy texture, was almost exactly the same as Aomine Daiki’s before.
“Don’t be too arrogant, Yukimiya.” Aomine’s innate ability for sudden stops and starts was completely released at this moment; the sudden stop after a crossover breakthrough caused his speed to drop from its peak to freezing point, “If you can stop me, then talk big!”
Continuous fancy ball-pulling!
Sudden start!
Speed suddenly accelerated from 0 to max!
Accelerating to break through to the right side where Yukimiya Kazuma had spread his arms horizontally!
However...
This time Yukimiya Kazuma did not move his fast-reacting and fast-moving lateral steps; he just maintained his defensive posture, didn’t even turn his head, and suddenly swung his left hand!
*Slap~!*
A crisp sound caused Aomine Daiki’s swift movements to stop abruptly!
When he stopped, the wind that curled towards Yukimiya Kazuma gently blew up his snow-colored hair, and the basketball that should have been in Aomine’s hand, in the middle of a sudden breakthrough, appeared in Yukimiya Kazuma’s hand!
“Ah?!”
“Really... fake?!”
“Aomine Daiki was stolen from in the middle of a dribbling breakthrough?!”
“This...”
“How did he do it? He didn’t seem to have any special movements?”
“Just a moment ago he was still struggling with Aomine’s dribbling, although that defense was indeed very powerful, but how did it suddenly... it was like he was just standing there, touched it casually, and took the ball away!”
Aomine Daiki turned his head abruptly!
This feeling of prediction...
Emperor Eye?!
No...
Not it.
What was that just now?!
Yukimiya Kazuma grabbed the ball with one hand, the distance between his fingers barely enough, and straightened up to see the confusion in Aomine’s eyes.
Heh.
It’s the airflow and vibrations I felt in advance.
However...
He didn’t have the habit of explaining skills to opponents, especially since it was a temporary one.
It was just the inertia of his mouth during this game, still unable to stay idle, saying:
“Have you seen the gates of hell?” ===== CHAPTER 89 =====
