Chapter 81: Aomine Daiki 1v1 Yukimiya Kazuma!
On the court, the players of Bai Shui Hall, hearing Yukimiya Kazuma's roar beside them, seemed all infected; immediately, that familiar surge of hot blood returned!
On the other side, Aomine Daiki, having been shouted at by Yukimiya Kazuma, instantly came to his senses.
Excellent!
Just like that!
It's only interesting this way!
Yukimiya Kazuma...
Far more capable than I expected!
After Yukimiya let out a shout, facing Aomine Daiki's burning gaze, he immediately returned to his 'normal' state.
"Hah..."
Defending the first shot successfully triggered the war cry.
It seems...
Luck is also on my side.
12 points.
I don't know if Aomine will still attack for 4 minutes this quarter, but I must limit his score to under 12 points within this time.
Bai Shui Hall Middle School's offense remained constipated, but facing defense of the Generation of Miracles' level, there was nothing to be done.
Quickly.
Aomine Daiki attacked again.
Yukimiya Kazuma, while striving to defend Aomine's dribbling, directed his teammates.
Activating the 'Rookie Ace's War Cry', what Yukimiya wanted wasn't the 15% shooting accuracy bonus for 5 possessions, but his teammates' stamina recovery; targeting Aomine's running ability, his teammates' help defense also required consuming vast amounts of stamina.
Pat~
Pat~
Pat~
Ultra-high-speed dribbling, consecutive fakes!
Yukimiya Kazuma's eyes widened; with the 'Passing and Control Master' ability, he exerted every effort to sense the opponent's dribbling, his body swaying with the opponent's change of direction.
He looked ready to topple at any moment, as if breakthrough was imminent, yet he held on for a long time; in the short term, he seemed to be trading blows evenly with Aomine.
However...
'Passing and Control Master' is, after all, not a specialized defense Type Badge.
On the defensive end, although a deep understanding of ball-handling allows one to deconstruct the opponent's dribbling to a certain degree, providing great help, whether one can react in time and keep up is entirely another matter.
So...
Pat~
Pat~
Pat~
Under Aomine's even more exaggerated series of fancy ball-handling moves!
Yukimiya Kazuma was faked out; his movement slowed for an instant!
Aomine pushed off the ground to accelerate, exploding instantly; with just that move, he had shaken off Yukimiya.
Charging the paint.
Liang Huayin and Yamagata Daisuke from the sides rushed up for help defense, delaying Aomine's offensive time as much as possible.
This is a very important link.
Extending the time Aomine consumes per offensive possession will naturally decrease his scoring quantity within his offensive possessions.
3s...
Perhaps even shorter!
Aomine broke through another defensive formation!
Takehito Masaki Already prepared to protect the basket!
Head-to-Head Showdown.
Aomine flew up, tracing a long distance through the air.
Takehito Masaki extended his long arms, but Aomine dodged with a light layup, and even on the final shot, using an absurd 'toss', he flung the ball past Yukimiya's returning block and into the hoop!
Swish~!
The entire sequence flowed like water and clouds!
"Wah!"
"Wow!"
"So strong!"
"He can score even like that...?!"
Inside Tokyo Second Gymnasium, having witnessed the Generation of Miracles' 'full-power' attacks unlike any before today, all the spectators repeatedly exclaimed in disbelief!
After landing, Aomine showed no expression; he simply turned around and went straight to Yukimiya Kazuma's front, then assumed a low defensive stance.
Yukimiya Kazuma: "!"
"Aomine is defending me? That's truly great! Hmm..." The sudden unexpected joy made Yukimiya Kazuma blurt out his inner thoughts without holding back.
Realizing this, Yukimiya decisively shut his mouth; when he turned back, sure enough, Aomine Daiki's face had grown even darker.
No help for it.
It's not Yukimiya Kazuma's fault for being so excited.
The defensive pressure of Akashi's Emperor Eye was simply too great. He clearly had the 'Passing Maestro'—the strongest passing on his body—yet couldn't use it at all. That state of being on guard every second, his whole body taut, made him feel miserable all over.
Now that it's switched to Facing Qingfeng, although he still lacks finishing ability, at least in terms of ball control, he can exchange a few moves!
The game continues.
Yukimiya Kazuma receives Kasuga Yuji's serve at the baseline, and Aomine Daiki starts full-court press defense directly from the backcourt.
*Slap—*
*Slap—*
*Slap—*
Yukimiya's consecutive between-the-legs crossovers, his extremely high dribbling attribute, and the 'Passing Maestro' that perfectly harnesses and outputs this attribute, make his ball-handling terrifyingly fast at this moment!
Aomine Daiki on the opposite side watches Yukimiya Kazuma's movements.
Excitement also spills over in his eyes.
So fast!
Constrained by Akashi…
Actually, during the first quarter, he had already wanted to go one-on-one against the other side!
As expected…
He wasn't disappointed!
That guy Akashi is very easy to talk to today!
Yukimiya's crisp and clean ball-handling is the complete opposite of Aomine Daiki's style from head to toe, but in the fluidity of movement transitions, they share a similar brilliance.
Step-through drive!
Aomine's eyes narrow, the feral aura around his body solidifying further. He suddenly retreats along with Yukimiya, and after forcing the other to stop, he appears before Yukimiya Kazuma once more!
But Yukimiya Kazuma has now successfully advanced into Teikou's half. Compared to the first quarter where he was forced to hunch over and push his way forward, now he's far more comfortable!
Yukimiya glances behind Aomine. As for Akashi's true intention in switching to Aomine to defend him in the second quarter, Deep Down Already he understands.
He called for a pick-and-roll.
Taketani Masaki rises up from the inside.
