Chapter 87

"Senior..."

"With such slow movements, you don't think I can't catch you, do you?"

After the inbound pass, shooting guard Domoto Akira chose to shoot a three-pointer directly.

But the next second, his heart suddenly jumped!

That guy Yukimiya Kazuma!

The figure that had been in the paint a moment ago suddenly rushed up with a dash, and with an exaggerated jumping height, blocked in front of him in the blink of an eye!

Are you kidding me!

This is the three-point line!

And...

What's with this unusual blocking height?!

It hasn't even reached the highest point yet?!

Fortunately, he had been scared by the dunk Yukimiya blocked earlier, so he had been paying attention to the opponent's movements. Although he had already jumped for this shot, the hesitation at the moment of jumping actually saved him.

Swish~!

He forcibly changed his posture in mid-air, turned this three-pointer into a pass, and threw it out.

Passing...

An imprecise cross-court pass!

Slap~!

The ball was intercepted by Tsuchiya Dahe!

Seeing this, Yukimiya Kazuma muttered that it was not bad.

Not because of Tsuchiya Dahe's steal, but because of his own two consecutive defensive blocks just now.

[I Love Blocking Dunks (Purple) Lv3: Your dunks are mediocre, always giving me the urge to block them; when facing a dunk, blocking success rate increases by 70%]

[I Love Blocking Jump Shots (Blue) Lv4: Your jump shots are mediocre, always giving me the urge to block them; when facing a jump shot, blocking success rate increases by 50%]

683

With the level increase of these two badges, the blocking height and blocking distance provided were completely incomparable to when they were at Lv1.

It is worth mentioning that although the numbers 70% and 50% look exaggerated.

It is not "increasing the success rate to" but "increasing by."

Limited by the influence of confrontation factors during the block.

Strength, speed, jumping ability, height, distance, etc...

Facing different blocking targets and scenarios, the success rate of the block is naturally completely different.

In the national middle school tournament, during the confrontation with Murasakibara in the first quarter, Yukimiya Kazuma only successfully blocked one ball. According to his post-game summary, his blocking success rate against Murasakibara at that time was probably less than 10%. Adding the "50% increase" provided by the badge, increasing the original blocking success rate by half, it was still less than 15%.

However...

That was facing Murasakibara, whose strength, jumping ability, and height were all monster-level, and whose anti-blocking was maxed out.

And facing Quanzhen Hall in front of him...

The current Yukimiya Kazuma, relying on these attributes plus the two blocking badges, was enough to complete the task left unfinished in middle school—Murasakibara's "super-wide range defense"—to a near-complete degree.

Tsk~!

Still a little bit off.

Murasakibara could defend from under the basket to the three-point line, while he, when triggering the badge, still needed to be further forward. I feel that if the badges each level up once more, it should be about right.

But even so.

Once he is mobilized, for example, being drawn to the perimeter, if he wants to defend back, the opponent must be dunking, because only in this way can the badge be triggered to provide the boost in blocking height and blocking distance.

And the same applies to the perimeter; it must be a jump shot, a set shot won't work.

Fortunately, it only counts height, not shooting technique; otherwise, most of Aomine's formless shots might not count as jump shots.

Comparing it this way, that guy Murasakibara is truly outrageous!

Yukimiya Kazuma sighed to himself.

However.

The successive eruption of the two badges just now was enough to make people dumbfounded.

"Yu, Yukimiya-san, you just chased out from the paint to defend Domoto-senpai, right?"

"You defended out there in the blink of an eye!"

"What a high block! Fortunately, Domoto held back!"

"Domoto-senpai was able to react in the first instance, which is already amazing."

"This is the first time I've seen such an agile center!"

"Where is he a center? Yukimiya Kazuma is actually a point guard whose height has skyrocketed but whose athletic ability hasn't diminished in the slightest, right?"

Coach Kakita Yishi on the sidelines had already stood up excitedly, staring intently at Yukimiya Kazuma, muttering to himself in a low voice:

"Yukimiya Kazuma..."

"Beyond expectations."

"Following his evolutionary trajectory, after the national middle school tournament ended, is he still evolving at a high speed?"

"He's actually become so much stronger again!"

The turn for Yukimiya Kazuma's side.

He Xiuyang advanced with the ball, looked around after reaching the front court, and finally played it safe, handing the ball to Yukimiya Kazuma. The others on the court, including Long Tianzhang, had no objections to this.

Yukimiya Kazuma didn't go to the interior but stood at the three-point line, starting with a triple-threat stance, holding the ball with one hand.

The movement was naturally stylish, but the attention of the newcomers off the court was attracted by the defense on the opposite side, because the one currently marking Yukimiya Kazuma was actually a double-team.

Power forward Bodao Heguang and small forward Kuriki Noboru.

Yukimiya Kazuma looked at the scene in front of him, a strange look flashing in his eyes.

"Is it necessary to go this far?"

"The interior is already a 2-on-1 between Tsuchiya Dahe and Oguchi Ryuji."

Kuriki Noboru shook his head, extending one hand forward to confirm the defensive distance from the opponent. "Rather than letting you shoot, it's better to make you pass the ball out!"

"Ah."

"So that's the plan?"

However...

"Are two people enough?"

"Hmm?!"

Yukimiya Kazuma held the ball, his center of gravity in the triple-threat was very high, and he didn't look like he was going to break through at all.

But under the pressure of the aura gradually rising from him, Kuriki Noboru and Bodao Heguang seemed to see a white bird appear behind Yukimiya Kazuma, the aura astonishing!

"The first battle after joining a new team, let's show some strength..."

"Let the seniors take a good look!"

Lv2 Monster Immersion · Flying Bird!

Startled String!

Slap~!

The triple-threat stance suddenly relaxed, just a natural drop of the ball, but Kuriki Noboru observed solemnly, not daring to be distracted in the slightest.

Very eerie...

Clearly, his whole body exuded a dangerous aura.

However, the dribbling movement was not fast. If at this time...

Whoosh~!

Kuriki Noboru suddenly went for a steal!

From Kuriki Noboru's perspective, at this moment, the white bird behind Yukimiya Kazuma trembled all over!

Instantly, white feathers scattered...
