Chapter 182

"Even if I mimicked the Generation of Miracles, is it still not enough?"

Many people let out a sigh.

It wasn't that Kise wasn't strong enough, it was just that his opponent was too strong.

That leader of the Generation of Miracles was probably the strongest high school student in the country today.

Tiandao scored again, and the score was further widened.

Offense and defense switched, Kaijo's possession.

Still organized by Kise himself.

Kaijo was now trailing by 25 points, with almost no possibility of a comeback.

But Kise didn't give up, and the Kaijo people didn't give up either.

At this point, even if there was only a sliver of opportunity, they had to grasp it with all their might, just like a drowning person suddenly grabbing a straw, determined to struggle toward the surface of the water.

However...

Tiandao noticed that more than half of the third quarter had passed.

Kise had been confronting him with perfect mimicry for 5 minutes.

"It's a pity, Kise."

"You have no possibility of winning the game."

Tiandao directly sentenced Kaijo to death.

"There is still time, and my hands and feet can still move, so the game won't end."

"You won't be able to move soon. Go off the court; it's for your own good."

For my own good?

Kise assumed Tiandao was using words to interfere with him.

To prove that he could still fight, he showed his strongest offensive means again.

The combination skill of Thunder Dribble + Formless Basketball, second only to Tiandao's super-high-speed breakthrough.

Perhaps, even if doing so had no good effect against Tiandao's defense, doing nothing would be even more shameful.

However, when he took the third step, a sudden pain came from his ankle.

Tiandao's eyes flashed, and he seized this moment to snatch the ball from him easily.

Kirisaki Daiichi immediately launched a fast break, and Kise suddenly understood what Tiandao meant.

At this time, he already understood what had happened, but as the saying goes, at this point, there was absolutely no reason to retreat.

He didn't want to let himself, or his seniors, become losers again!

They wanted to win!

Gritting his teeth and enduring the pain, Kise twisted his body stubbornly, the golden light on his body still dazzling, and chased after Tiandao's back with all his might.

"Stubborn guy."

"Eight~"

Without any intention of showing mercy, Tiandao danced wildly against the defense.

So fast that his brain couldn't analyze the next dribble, leaving Kise to defend only according to what he saw with his eyes.

But how could the body's reaction be faster than the brain?

Soon Kise found that his body was becoming uncontrollable, and his body and brain could not synchronize at this moment.

"Boom!"

As if he had lost his physical coordination, he fell down unexpectedly, tripping himself.

"Kise?"

"Kise!"

Before Kise fell to the ground, his eyes were full of panic.

He had clearly completed perfect mimicry, broken through himself, and mastered the Emperor Eye and even the Six Eyes—why was he still tripped?

"Because I am stronger than you, that's all."

Tiandao passed Kise and elegantly flicked the ball into the net.

"Go off the court and rest; don't push your body anymore."

He advised for the second time.

The Kaijo players who walked over with worried faces heard this and finally understood why Kise showed such a pathetic side.

"So this guy was..."

Kasamatsu Yukio suddenly bit his lip hard, his fists clenched tightly.

Why was he so stupid?

Mimicking the abilities of five Generation of Miracles members at the same time—how could a body that was only in its teens bear it?

What's more, those monsters each had abilities far above Kise's.

Kise had been pushing himself all along.

Why did he only discover it now?!

"What pushing or not pushing, how do you think I've come this far?"

"I can still play against you like this for a day, Tiandao-kun!"

Kise struggled to climb up, enduring the pain coming from his ankle.

Although it was only for a few short minutes, he had really used too much beyond his ability.

His body, including his brain, had reached its limit at this time.

Engaging in intense competition in such a state, a major injury was only a matter of time.

Kasamatsu Yukio looked gloomy and signaled a substitution to the coach.

"Senior!" Kise shouted anxiously, taking a step forward, but his body staggered.

The Kaijo captain reacted quickly, grabbing his arm to support him so he wouldn't fall a second time.

He tried to make his tone as gentle as possible, saying, "That's enough; leave the rest of the game to us."

Upon hearing this, Kise opened his eyes wide, finally gave up, and lowered his head, letting his sweat-drenched hair cover most of his face.

"What's wrong?"

"Is substituting Kise at this time giving up?"

Kaijo's substitution was beyond everyone's expectations.

Isn't substituting Kise off the court at a time like this equivalent to admitting defeat?

"Riko?" Hyuga Junpei turned to their captain, and Aida Riko said with a grave expression, "Although I can't see it clearly, Kise's current state is terrible."

Really terrible.

Not to mention that the body's data had all dropped, the key was the right ankle, which had clearly sounded an alarm.

Kise's foot was injured.

"As expected, Kise's body couldn't bear the ability to mimic the Generation of Miracles level."

"Did Tiandao predict this scene from the beginning? That's why he didn't enter the Zone realm?"

Hyuga Junpei swallowed his saliva.

If so, then Tiandao's terror was even beyond their imagination.

"Now it seems, I'm afraid so." Aida Riko thought for a moment and added, "At least, he knew from the beginning that mimicking the Generation of Miracles, even Kise couldn't last long; maybe five minutes is Kise's limit right now."

Kaijo's bench.

Kise covered his head with a towel, not letting anyone see his face clearly.

However, his tightly bitten lips betrayed him.

Lost again!

It hurt more than any time before; even losing to Seirin hadn't made him feel this heartbroken.

He didn't know what happened to the team last year, but from Moriyama Yoshitaka's words, he could roughly imagine how guilty his captain felt at the time.

As a result, this year...

They fell in the round of 16 again, and he failed to help the team win the game.

Why do I suddenly feel a bit sorry for the golden retriever?

Hey, Kaijo's luck is too bad; they met Tiandao in the round of 16. I feel that as long as they don't meet Tiandao, Aomine, or Akashi, Kise could at least make it to the final four.
