Just then, Yu Zhu, who had rushed over, let out a fierce shout. He stomped off the ground and leaped as well, desperately reaching for the basketball in Morishige Hiroshi's hands.
Morishige Hiroshi caught sight of Yu Zhu charging at him from the corner of his eye, claws bared, but merely gave him an indifferent glance.
Without pausing his motion to secure the ball, he clutched the basketball tightly with both hands and forcibly twisted his body in midair, facing Yu Zhu as he came at him—and Ryonan's basket as well.
The next second, the muscles in his arms suddenly tensed, veins bulging instantly. With force that seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth, he drove the basketball viciously toward the basket, straight through Yu Zhu's attempted block.
A deafening boom exploded across the court. It was the loudest dunk since the start of the game.
The basketball was hammered straight through the hoop, and the entire basket support shook violently from the impact. Even the floor seemed to tremble.
In midair, Yu Zhu felt an enormous force slam into him, as if he had been struck head-on by a speeding truck.
He did not even have the chance to resist before his body was sent flying. He traced a brief arc through the air, then crashed heavily onto the floor.
Morishige Hiroshi gripped the rim with both hands, his body still hanging from it. His eyes looked down at Yu Zhu on the ground, utterly devoid of ripples—there was only overwhelming dominance.
Yu Zhu lay crookedly on the floor, his brows drawn tight and his teeth grinding audibly.
Enduring the pain in his chest and back, he raised his head to look at Morishige Hiroshi hanging high from the rim, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
That bastard.
