Chapter 84: The Match, Time Nearing the Four-Minute Mark, Facing Qingfeng Holds the Ball Before Yukimiya, His Expression Returning t

"Too weak."

"The only thing worth praising is your dribbling..."

"Even the defense that initially sparked my interest was just relying on teammates."

As Aomine Daiki spoke, the basketball in his hands seemed to bloom with his dribbling.

In response to Aomine's mockery, Yukimiya Kazuma wore an expression of complete indifference, yet the emotions hidden in his eyes clearly held caution and... excitement.

Aomine's score in the second quarter was 10 points!

During that time, Yukimiya dribbled at full capacity on offense, using up the entire shot clock, and on defense relied on his teammates to build multiple lines of defense, successfully stalling Aomine Daiki's scoring!

"The strongest, without a doubt, is me."

"But I didn't expect there wouldn't even be a single opponent worth fighting."

"Boring."

Yukimiya Kazuma remained fully focused.

However...

Aomine Daiki simply stood there coldly.

He dribbled casually in place, then suddenly threw the ball out with one hand.

Clang~!

The ball rattled against the rim left and right before finally smashing into the basket!

12 points, plus the 13 from the first quarter, landed exactly on the edge of the mission!

When Aomine Daiki turned and walked away, no longer guarding Yukimiya with deathly intensity, Yukimiya knew the second quarter's Aomine Daiki turn had finally ended.

"Hey."

Yukimiya, who had stood in place with hands on hips and sighed in relief, looked at Aomine's back and suddenly called out to stop him.

His tone changed from the previous 'kindness' toward Aomine; he no longer remembered anything about defeating opponents with 'kindness', and with his planned objective completed, he simply stopped pretending.

"Aomine, the second half..."

"I will send you a defeat you will never forget."

Aomine Daiki's footsteps paused. "Don't talk big. You and I are on completely different levels; the only one who can beat me is myself."

Yukimiya Kazuma: "Heh, just wait and see."

Aomine turned his head and looked at him deeply.

Very well.

I'll wait and see.
