Oguchi, if you figured it out, just say it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The other players also cast the same gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Cough...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Oguchi Ryuji scratched his head and said, \"It's not anything that amazing. To put it bluntly, Yukimiya chose to intentionally let Akashi break past him, and then defended him from behind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Kitaoka center closed his eyes to visualize it, then retorted, \"How is that possible... Even if Yukimiya is fast, after being passed, it's impossible to make a threatening defensive play by turning around and chasing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Uh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"But, he did catch up just now...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>On the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A similar conversation was taking place between Hanashiro Shuichi and Sasame Akira.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Compared to the stuttering Oguchi Ryuji, Sasame Akira had reacted to the situation on the court almost the moment the referee's whistle blew.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"No, of course it's possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sasame Akira said, \"First, it's wildness. With wildness, Yukimiya can keep capturing all of Akashi's movements, from the breakthrough to the shooting preparation, without using his naked eyes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"This way, after turning around, he can head straight for the ball to block it in the shortest possible time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"However, Yukimiya Kazuma clearly doesn't have that ability. He possesses another one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Vision and spatial awareness. After Akashi broke past him, he could lock onto Akashi's position and movements without even looking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Vision + spatial awareness is a stronger ability than simply using eyes like the 'Eagle Eye'.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Secondly...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The simplest and most direct one: the height difference.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hanashiro Shuichi was a bit surprised by this, because everyone at Teiko basically ignored this issue due to Akashi's ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"That's right, height.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"No matter how strong Akashi's ability is, his height is only 170cm. Yukimiya's maximum block height can reach Murasakibara's level. Using this as a comparison, the shooting height of Aomine, Kise, and myself is at least 10% lower than their block, while Akashi's is at least 30% lower.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Blocking a shot isn't just about blocking the moment of release; it can also be intercepted during the flight path before it reaches the interference range.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The higher the release point, the less room there is for such blocks. Conversely, in Akashi's case, the lack of release height leaves more reaction time for Yukimiya.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Yukimiya utilized this point, combined with vision + spatial awareness to lock onto Akashi's shooting position in advance, completing this seemingly impossible, intentionally leaky defense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Moreover, even Akashi's Emperor Eye cannot complete an ankle-breaker on a defensive player behind him. Those eyes, after all, must be used by 'seeing' to be activated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hanashiro Shuichi was stunned. Even after hearing Sasame Akira's clear explanation, he still looked at him in disbelief. \"The Emperor Eye can be defended like this? This kind of thing can actually be done?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"This isn't something just anyone can do.\" Sasame Akira shook his head and continued, \"Even among the 'Generation of Miracles,' the only one who could currently do something similar is probably Aomine, who has a similar build to Yukimiya and also possesses 'wildness.' Although his block height isn't as high as Yukimiya's, he is faster than Yukimiya, so he should be able to do it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Additionally...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Haizaki's experiential prediction could also work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"As for the others, they lack the key link of locking on in advance, so even Murasakibara might not be able to do it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Baishuikan vs. Teiko, score 28:30.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Ah~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sasame Akira looked down at the court and said, \"It seems Yukimiya really thought of a way to stop Akashi's ankle-breaker, but that's not enough. It's not enough to solve the problems Baishuikan is currently facing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"This quarter, only Akashi and Murasakibara were attacking. The ones coming up next quarter will probably be the most aggressive ones: Aomine and Midorima.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"And...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Although Akashi's personality has changed drastically, and his purpose for passing seems to treat others as tools, Akashi, who carries out the principle that victory is everything at Teiko...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"He's not someone who doesn't pass.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"With the score this close, Akashi next quarter might not stick to the pattern of only giving the ball to one person to attack within a fixed time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Even if the other Generation of Miracles don't pass the ball out after receiving it, as long as Akashi distributes the ball to different players when controlling the game, Baishuikan, which has been holding on solely through Yukimiya Kazuma's individual defense, will likely be exhausted.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"And for this team, Baishuikan, how much longer can they hold on with just Yukimiya Kazuma? This is a very serious problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Baishuikan bench.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>First-year Hiiragi Mototsugu was busy around Yukimiya Kazuma with a towel in one hand and a water bottle in the other. Seeing Yukimiya Kazuma panting non-stop, Hiiragi Mototsugu's eyes showed worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Senior Yukimiya, are you okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Ah...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"No problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Despite what Yukimiya Kazuma said, sweat beads were rolling down his cheeks.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Too... too strong. This is the first time I've seen Senior Yukimiya's stamina consumed to this extent after just one quarter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Several first and second-year substitute players looked at Yukimiya Kazuma's state with expressions of disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>You know.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Besides his superhuman strength on the court, what the Baishuikan team envied most about Yukimiya Kazuma was his stamina; this was especially enviable during the training camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Whenever everyone was exhausted and limp, they could still see Yukimiya Kazuma running full of energy. At such times, besides secretly cursing him as a monster, everyone was also dying of envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Senior Yukimiya had sweated this much after just one quarter.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Is Teiko really this strong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Of course. You have to know, that's a team made up of the 5 strongest middle schoolers. Just thinking about such a lineup is terrifying, isn't it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"That's right. If anything, the fact that Senior can do this much is already very strong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Several lower-year substitutes whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Niimatsu Osamu frowned as he looked at Yukimiya Kazuma's situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It must be said that Teiko's strength was indeed stronger than he had imagined. At the very least, he had never seen Murasakibara's rim-attacking be so exaggerated before.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In his and Yukimiya's plan, the teammates' probing at the start was to lower Teiko's guard, and then immediately use Yukimiya's unreserved full-force offense and defense to catch the opponent off guard, which should have allowed them to grab the lead.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, the plan failed in the first quarter. This had nothing to do with tactics; it was simply that the opponent was strong enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Relying on Yukimiya's individual strength, although we barely kept up with the score, it's far from enough. If this continues, Baishuikan still won't be able to close the gap, and Yukimiya's stamina can't sustain this level of offense and defense for a whole game.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Niimatsu Osamu touched his chin, thoughtful. \"Yukimiya, that thing you mentioned before, should we move it up?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hearing Niimatsu Osamu's words, everyone turned their eyes to Yukimiya Kazuma.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yukimiya hesitated for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Not now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Even if Aomine and Midorima come up in the second quarter, we must hold on like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Only by holding on this quarter will there be a chance. During the halftime break after the second quarter, I can recover a lot of stamina. The ability I want to use in the third quarter also has low consumption...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"There will be enough stamina left for the fourth quarter to decide the outcome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Niimatsu Osamu nodded silently and took a deep look at Yukimiya Kazuma. The words he almost said, telling him not to push himself, ultimately didn't come out.\u003C\u002Fp>",1447,"2026-06-16T10:58:15.272Z","2026-06-17T08:53:45.625Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","e5b03e9725f8c82f3ce2ad57664aa9fcc9c5b84ef02768e1b4f03fda479f30c5","kuroko-no-basuke-starting-as-a-playmaking-master-chapter-75","kuroko-no-basuke-starting-as-a-playmaking-master-chapter-73",159,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fkuroko-no-basuke-starting-as-a-playmaking-master-cover.jpg"]
