When defending, he was, without exaggeration, almost toyed with by Yukimiya Kazuma's footwork under the basket.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At least, that's how it looked on the court. Murasakibara was either tricked into jumping or left hesitant and frozen in place by Yukimiya's endless stream of swift footwork and fakes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Compared to the impact of Murasakibara's violent rim-attacking, this technique was even more shocking.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Did you understand it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Difficult moves, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"So sorry, flew past you again. You jump really high~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yukimiya Kazuma scored again. He looked friendly, but his mouth wouldn't stop running, and the things he said were maddening.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But clearly, his breathing was much heavier than Murasakibara's.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Yukicchi...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Can your stamina hold up?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"If you leave the court, your inside, no, your whole team is doomed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"No matter how you struggle, Baishuikan will lose.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You still haven't managed to protect anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yukimiya Kazuma paused upon hearing this and took a deep look at Murasakibara, who had suddenly said such things. He knew very well that the other party wasn't being sarcastic; for Murasakibara at this stage, Yukimiya also understood the mental journey he was going through.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At the same time, he knew even better that this kid, while looking naturally airheaded, was actually very delicate inside—a guy who set safety lines for himself because he didn't want to hurt others.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yukimiya hesitated for a moment over the 'safety line,' but finally couldn't help but say, \"Can't find a reason to like basketball?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Anyway, you hate losing, right?\" Yukimiya Kazuma didn't care about Murasakibara's reaction; he picked up the ball that had just fallen and shoved it into Murasakibara's chest. \"Then I'll just finish you off~!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Yukicchi~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Murasakibara was stunned for a moment, then turned his head away indifferently. \"Effort, fighting spirit, belief—I'm going to wipe all of that out for you. I'll teach you properly just how cruel a sport basketball is~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Sure~\" Yukimiya Kazuma waved his hand. \"If you can manage that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Teiko's final attack of the first quarter.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I have to acknowledge your efforts.\" Akashi controlled the ball, standing a distance away from Kasuga Yuji, and said slowly, \"But that won't change anything. The final winner will be Teiko, absolutely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>*Tap~*\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>*Tap~*\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>*Tap~*\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In Akashi Seijuro's heterochromatic eyes, the two rings of light at the bottom of his pupils suddenly flashed. By the time Kasuga Yuji reacted, he was already sitting on the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Damn it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Akashi Seijuro, looking like an emperor descending to inspect his realm, calmly stepped over Kasuga Yuji. The latter, despite having painstakingly learned the 'Namba Step' from his brother Kasuga Ryuhei, was still too fragile to resist the ankle-breaking effect of the Emperor Eye targeting his weak point.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, just as Akashi easily shook off Kasuga Yuji's defense, another figure blocked his path—it was Yukimiya Kazuma, who had come over to help defend.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing Yukimiya, Akashi Seijuro's expression didn't change, but he said coldly, \"It's useless. No one can defy my orders.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Akashi focused again, wanting to use the Emperor Eye to break Yukimiya Kazuma's ankles by targeting his center of gravity.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But the next moment, his movements suddenly stalled, because Yukimiya Kazuma, who was in a completely relaxed state, was clearly full of openings.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"This feeling is...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Akashi wanted to say it was 'wildness.'\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But as Aomine's teammate, Akashi Seijuro was very familiar with 'wildness.'\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Indeed, that completely relaxed feeling was a characteristic of 'wildness,' but there was no scent of 'wildness' on Yukimiya Kazuma.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Playing tricks!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Akashi muttered to himself, while his dribbling speed grew faster and faster. The Emperor Eye kept tracking Yukimiya's movements; the moment he made any move, he would immediately unleash an ankle-breaker.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, to Akashi's surprise again, no matter what he did, the other party had no reaction at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Even...\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It seemed like his gaze was drifting and not even landing on him?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Because of Yukimiya's unusual reaction, Akashi Seijuro was stunned at first, but he quickly recovered. His strength gave him the confidence to handle anything. \"Interesting. In that case, I won't hold back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>*Whoosh~*\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>No feints, just a pure speed breakthrough.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He had thought Yukimiya Kazuma intended to observe his movements first and then react, but when he rushed past Yukimiya's defense, he found that Yukimiya Kazuma was still standing in the same spot, motionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Akashi easily got past Yukimiya Kazuma!\" the spectators in the stands exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>On the court.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although Akashi Seijuro still didn't know what Yukimiya Kazuma was up to, since he had broken through, he didn't hesitate and started his shooting motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But just as he was about to score, a strong sense of crisis suddenly came from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A shadow encroached from behind, blocking the incandescent light from the gymnasium dome, like a gloomy monster crawling out of hell, about to swallow Akashi Seijuro whole.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>*Ssh!*\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The intense sense of crisis in his body forced him to pull the ball back at the last split second, and then, in a dead-ball state, he had to pass the ball out.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sure enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The moment he passed the ball, an arm came down from above his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Without a doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If he hadn't pulled back that shot, it would have been 100% blocked by Yukimiya Kazuma.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Amazing, to be able to react even like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"However...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You actually passed the ball mid-attack~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Akashi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yukimiya Kazuma's voice rang out behind Akashi. He seemed surprised by Akashi's last-second pull-back and pass, but the next moment, Yukimiya Kazuma changed his tone and said, \"Your judgment on the block was indeed accurate, but are you really sure about passing to that side?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Kise, who received Akashi's pass, was happy at first, but then his expression changed drastically, just like Akashi's a moment ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Because the moment he caught the ball, not only was there Teruyama Daisuke, who had been marking him, but also Taketou Masaki, who had suddenly left Midorima and come over from the side to help defend.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If it were just the Baishuikan No. 7 in front of him, Kise would be confident he could play however he wanted, but with the addition of the 190cm-tall Taketou Masaki, and only 3 seconds left on the shot clock...\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>*Tap~*\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>*Tap~*\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Kise took a jump shot in the gap between the two defenders!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>*Clang~!*\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The ball hit the front rim and bounced away.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>*Beep~ beep~ beep~!!!*\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At the same time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first quarter!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The tense first quarter ended, letting everyone breathe a sigh of relief. Baishuikan had tenaciously maintained the 2-point gap at the very last moment.\u003C\u002Fp>",1200,"2026-06-16T10:58:15.272Z","2026-06-17T08:53:45.625Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","6576ac7976f77d84a8b0e15750d95a014f0608a04aafd31b5209d1114b5fd01c","kuroko-no-basuke-starting-as-a-playmaking-master-chapter-74","kuroko-no-basuke-starting-as-a-playmaking-master-chapter-72",159,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fkuroko-no-basuke-starting-as-a-playmaking-master-cover.jpg"]
