Chapter 180

Upon landing, Tiandao erupted with Aomine's speed, taking control of the ball before everyone else.

Not rushing to attack, he slowed down the pace of the game again, letting both sides fall into a set-piece battle again.

Calm, powerful, rational!

These three qualities were perfectly embodied in Tiandao.

If he kept going like this, Kaijo would have to get anxious even if they didn't want to.

And he, like a hunter, waited quietly for Kise or Kaijo to make a mistake.

Starting again at 6 seconds, Tiandao left time for himself and also compressed Kaijo's chances of a comeback.

Kise gave it his all; as long as he blocked these six seconds, their defense would be considered a success.

Tiandao, however, increased the intensity for him at this moment.

"Eight!"

With a hellish whisper, Tiandao's dribbling frequency accelerated suddenly, impacting Kise's defense like a storm.

Kise's pressure increased sharply; his brain couldn't deduce his actions at all.

Front, back, left, right...

The basketball seemed to have gone berserk, dancing wildly, even sharper than Aomine's formless dribbling.

His taut nerves snapped; Kise's brain couldn't deduce such complex movements.

Tiandao, however, saw his future, dodged past him, rushed into Kaijo's territory again, and leaped up.

Can't block it!

It's over!

Some Kaijo fans had already covered their eyes, unable to bear seeing the next scene.

However.

"Tiandao-kun!" Kise roared again, extending his right arm and slamming it heavily onto the ball.

In a trance, people saw Murasakibara's shadow on him, his large hand blocking the sky and the sun between the basketball and the hoop.

Kise returned the favor, destroying Tiandao's dunk as well!

PS1: This is yesterday's fourth update, much later. I am adjusting my hellish schedule; I slept late yesterday and forced myself to sleep, but I still woke up at five o'clock. I will work hard for these two days and strive to stabilize the update time.

PS2: Then, thank you all for your support. This book has already made it to the hot recommendations, which is inseparable from everyone's support. I would like to thank all the family members here again; thank you so much!

Boom~

Kise returned the favor, swatting away Tiandao's sure-fire dunk.

He did it, confronting Tiandao head-on on both ends of the court.

The golden light on his body was even more brilliant and dazzling; Kise started immediately upon landing, driving his body with Aomine's explosive power.

The arena boiled over for who knows how many times, and the cheers were endless.

"Finally, Kise has finally caught up to Tiandao!"

Being able to stop Tiandao's offensive momentum proves many things.

At this moment, Kise had truly reached Tiandao's level.

The two rushed toward the other half of the court.

The duel between the two genius youths brought too much shock to people.

The intensity was almost enough to make people forget to breathe.

"But, has he really caught up to Tiandao's level?" Seeing Seeing Kagami couldn't help but ask.

"Isn't it obvious? Why ask that?"

"Because... Tiandao can freely enter the Zone, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Seirin people seemed to react.

That's right, Tiandao is a monster who can freely enter and exit the Zone.

He could completely explode with all his potential, just like he did against Aomine.

"Perhaps he intends to save the Zone time for the moment that decides the outcome?"

They guessed Tiandao's intention.

Otherwise, it would be hard to explain why Tiandao didn't improve his game state again.

"Because it's meaningless."

Just when the real-world audience was puzzled and wondering if they were saving on the budget, the narrator suddenly inserted.

The camera gave a first-person view of Tiandao.

In the image, he had already arrived at the door of the Zone.

"As long as he takes one more step forward, Tiandao Tiandao Tiandao Jingyan can step into the realm that all players dream of."

"As long as he wants, the door to the Zone can be opened for him at any time; his talent has already been fully recognized by the Zone."

"However... he didn't do that."

Tiandao took a step back, refusing to walk into the door that was completely open to him.

"Because it's meaningless."

The narrator repeated this sentence again.

"Tiandao Tiandao Tiandao Jingyan is thinking at this moment that one day, Kise will also step into the realm of the Zone; defeating Kise Ryota with the advantage of the Zone at this moment has no meaning for him."

"The proudest high school student in the country wants to defeat Kise in a normal state!"

"And..."

Tiandao turned around and disappeared from the realm of the Zone.

And the audience in front of the screen all opened their mouths wide.

Even those viewers who loved Kise had nothing to say.

Just because of this reason?

Tiandao is too proud, right? He could have won easily, but he had to choose the hardest way?

Didn't you hear what the narrator said? Tiandao determined that Kise would step into the Zone sooner or later; defeating the current Kise with the Zone doesn't count as truly defeating him!

Although he usually acts cool, he is really domineering!

And then? What's up with that "and"? Don't just say half of it!

Where is Batman? Can he lock the Riddler back in the asylum?

The audience marveled at Tiandao's dominance, and Kise was also sighing at Tiandao's confidence.

"As expected of Tiandao-kun, he's so handsome no matter when."

What Tiandao thought in his heart wasn't actually guessed, but precisely because of this, Kise wanted to win even more.

"Recently I've started to understand a little bit of what Kuroko-kun said."

"The meaning of a team in Kuroko-kun's mouth!"

Kise ran toward the front, his teammates having changed from the Generation of Miracles to Kasamatsu Yukio and the others.

Now, he had to do something for these people, for this team!

Tiandao was stunned for a moment upon hearing his words, then sighed.

"You got one thing wrong, Kise!"

"Kuroko always mentions the team, the whole. That's because he is that kind of player."

"But you are not; you are the ace of the team, and the only thing an ace player needs to do is bring back victory!"

Eight!

Slap~

Before Kise could break into the free-throw line, the ball in his hand was snatched away by Tiandao.

He crushed Kise's offensive momentum with a storm-like defense.

"Listen to me, Kise! Why can each team only have one ace player?"

Why?

Kise didn't understand, but Tiandao didn't need him to answer, giving the answer directly.

"Because while the ace can enjoy being pampered by thousands, they can also bear all the pressure from the outside."

"You keep talking about the team, splitting the responsibility for failure—what are you going to do about those teammates who are waiting for you to bring back victory!"
