Chapter 56: When it ended

The score between the two sides reached 31:27.

Baishuiguan rest area.

Everyone's expressions were a bit dull, because they found that even if they were not facing Teiko, under this national-level high-pressure defense, even with Yukimiya's passing assistance, they still found it difficult to put the ball into the basket.

Although they couldn't compare to Yukimiya Kazuma in level, they clearly fell into a situation similar to when Yukimiya didn't have 'Monster Immersion', lacking the ability to finish and score. ===== CHAPTER 129 =====

Relying purely on the opportunities created by Yukimiya to shoot, and this opportunity became fleeting under the national-level defense, they didn't grasp it steadily. The opponent's defense slightly damaged this environment, and their shooting percentage would fluctuate greatly.

The environment created by Yukimiya's passing was already impeccable, the big waves had been blocked by him, but every time the opportunity appeared, due to their insufficient finishing ability, they couldn't withstand the slight waves created by the opponent, leading to missed shots.

They had only seen one strong enemy before, Teiko. Facing other teams, they were heavy-handed, and the problems were covered up in one big victory after another.

This made the Baishuiguan team members who realized this point have quite grave faces.

Everyone discussed the tactics for the second half.

There was only one core mystery.

Give the ball to Yukimiya.

Baishuiguan members naturally had no objection to this. In fact, in the first half, they had some doubts in their hearts, because Yukimiya's shots seemed too few.

Slap~

Before going on the court, Shin Matsuharu patted Yukimiya Kazuma's shoulder, "You've been suppressed for half the game... thanks for your hard work, the purpose I wanted has been achieved, now you can let go and play."

Yukimiya Kazuma raised his eyebrows.

Alright.

Preparing to harvest the game.

Doo~!

Accompanied by a whistle, the second half of the game began.

Unsurprisingly, Seiho still adopted the tactics of the second quarter, double-teaming Yukimiya Kazuma in the paint, but just at this time, Yukimiya Kazuma suddenly left the paint.

"What the hell?"

Iwamura Tsutomu, Kasuga Ryuhei, and Sakamoto Kenjiro were all dumbfounded, completely unable to understand what this meant.

Several people watched Yukimiya Kazuma leave the paint and didn't follow immediately.

Or rather.

They couldn't follow.

The reason Seiho could wantonly use double-teaming in the paint was because inside the three-point line, they could assist and defend teammates at any time.

But outside the three-point line, if they were still besieging Yukimiya Kazuma, then this paint would become Baishuiguan's world, and Yukimiya Kazuma's passing ability was obvious to all.

Outside the three-point line, Kasuga Yuji passed the ball to Yukimiya Kazuma without hesitation, and the latter shot as soon as he raised his hand.

Everyone was shocked.

"What?"

"Hey hey, are you kidding me, did you forget your position? A center shooting outside the three-point line?!"

Yukimiya Kazuma shooting a three-pointer outside, Seiho people thought he was messing around, but after seeing the opponent's shooting action, everyone was shaken!

So high!

So fast!

Such a smooth shot!

The next second.

The basketball drew a beautiful arc in mid-air, and then with a swoosh, flew into the basket.

Clang~!

Off the court, Matsumoto Ikunori stood up abruptly, the sudden movement pushing the bench under him back a few centimeters.

On the court, Seiho people saw this ball, and everyone was dumbfounded.

"Must be a lucky shot, right? Which center can hit a three-pointer?"

That's right.

Yukimiya, who was stirring up trouble in the paint in the first half.

In Seiho's view, he was more 'center-like' than number 4.

Although Yukimiya Kazuma's 'Flying Bird' shooting action was visibly that of a shooting master, Seiho's people, who held simple basketball values, still thought it was just a coincidence.

After all, a center's physical fitness and strength are destined to be unable to control precision in three-pointers, which is something everyone knows.

Then...

Another offensive round for Baishuiguan.

Yukimiya Kazuma had a cold face, came to the outside to catch the ball again, and attacked with Flying Bird without any hesitation.

Swish!

The second three-pointer entered the net.

This time, no matter how unbelievable Seiho's people were, they had to admit it.

"This is miserable!"

Consecutive three-pointers disrupted all of Seiho's arrangements, however, this was just the beginning.

……

Slap!

Without double-teaming, Yukimiya Kazuma became unimpeded in the paint again.

The Seiho power forward broke into the paint, but was served a big hot pot by Yukimiya Kazuma. Baishuiguan immediately launched a fast break, Kasuga Yuji dribbled across the half-court, but was quickly caught up by Kasuga Ryuhei.

But he didn't have any hesitation, and passed the ball directly to Yukimiya Kazuma, who caught the ball and made a shooting action instantly, as silky as Dove.

"Don't even think about it!"

The Seiho power forward followed closely, jumped up, wanting to block Yukimiya Kazuma's shot, but even if he used all his strength, he only barely touched the height of Yukimiya Kazuma's hair.

"Worship me!"

"Trash!"

186.7 height, plus the strengthened jumping and long arms and legs, under the technical ability of 'Monster Immersion·Flying Bird', directly made Yukimiya Kazuma's release point reach a height that ordinary people couldn't reach.

At the same time...

The shooting process, from start to finish, was ridiculously fast!

"How do you defend this?!"

The Seiho power forward wanted to curse. Such a tall center, no dead ends on the court, and could weirdly switch to shooting at any time during the dribbling action, this was just bullying people, right?

And

Swish!

Listening to that familiar sound, he gritted his teeth even tighter.

"This kid who suddenly started trash-talking is also too accurate!"

With someone pressing and helping defend in front of him, Yukimiya Kazuma went 8 for 6 to open the point gap. Under this kind of defense, this shooting percentage, even in the country, could only be reached by those very outstanding shooting guards.

49:33.

Yukimiya Kazuma ravaged the whole court, immediately suppressing the score Seiho was catching up with again.

Kasuga Ryuhei wiped his sweat while smiling reluctantly.

"Oh no..."

"Eh? Is that it? Then if I make a move next, won't you be even worse, older brother?"

Listening to Kasuga Yuji's rebellious speech of puberty as always, Kasuga Ryuhei felt some anger in his heart, but for the first time, he had no heart to talk back.

Ignoring Kasuga Yuji's provocation, he dribbled the ball and rushed from the left.

However...

Shoo!

Kasuga Yuji suddenly caught up with Kasuga Ryuhei's movements and blocked his front.

"¨｀ Actually..."

"Caught up?!"

At the same time, Kasuga Yuji also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, finally aimed at that flaw and succeeded once.

So hard!

Kasuga Ryuhei didn't dwell on this too much. In order to maintain Seiho's smooth ball conduction, he passed the ball in his hand directly.

But this time...

Just as Kasuga Ryuhei passed the ball, Yukimiya Kazuma seemed to have expected his passing direction long ago, sent his right hand forward, and then heard a light 'slap', and the basketball was intercepted as expected.

"What?"

This sudden change caught Kasuga Ryuhei off guard, but before he could react, Yukimiya Kazuma rushed towards Seiho's half-court with a quite terrifying expression.

Kasuga Ryuhei, also had no choice, could only turn around and resist Yukimiya's offensive.
