Chapter 224
Classics are classics; watching it again after twenty years, I’m still absorbed. I don't even need to look at the plot; just listening to those three treasures chat is enough to make me happy. **CHAPTER 474**
Yes, the advantage was in the hands of Kirisaki Daiichi.
Tiandao knew it, Akashi knew it, and everyone else knew it too.
Victory was gradually waving goodbye to Rakuzan.
This premonition of defeat was stronger than any other time.
The coach was still nervously deploying tactics for the second half, and the players were listening carefully, their expressions serious.
Including Akashi, who was also constantly offering his own opinions on the side.
Using his understanding of Tiandao to analyze the possible actions of Kirisaki Daiichi in the second half.
Everyone was throwing their heart and soul into the game.
Akashi, sitting in his sea of consciousness, watched everything silently.
He knew that no matter what they did at Rakuzan, the chances of defeating Kirisaki Daiichi and Tiandao were slim.
But even so, no one had the slightest intention of giving up.
A feeling he had never experienced before surged in Akashi’s heart.
Soon, the second half of the game began.
Tiandao and Akashi exited the Zone state as expected.
They could no longer maintain the same strength as in the second quarter.
Rakuzan could still score because they still had Mayuzumi Chihiro.
Thanks to the team’s brilliant performance in the second quarter, Mayuzumi Chihiro, who had rested for an entire quarter, exerted his role once again.
"Is Misdirection working again?"
"Ah, it should be related to Rakuzan’s collective outburst in the second quarter!"
"After experiencing the fierce battle of the second quarter, Mayuzumi Chihiro has once again completely disappeared from the fans’ sight."
"But......."
But, it was always a temporary fix.
The Akashi in the depths of his soul watched silently.
He knew deeply that Misdirection would always lose its effect.
Perhaps it would be ineffective at the start of the fourth quarter, or perhaps in the latter half of the third quarter.
In the end, there was no hope of victory.
Akashi looked at the entire court like God, looking at everyone, looking at their faces and expressions, looking at their tenacious fighting spirit to do their best for victory.
Finally, he turned his gaze to the Generation of Miracles in the stands, then stopped on Tiandao.
Akashi let out a soft breath, having already made a decision in his heart.
"It’s time to say goodbye."
He spoke suddenly, communicating with Akashi in his mind.
Akashi, who was nervously watching Tiandao, was suddenly stunned, "What are you saying?"
"Exactly what it sounds like. Tiandao Tiandao Jingyan is very strong; if this continues, we will lose."
"However, when I saw the Six Eyes ability of Tiandao Tiandao Jingyan, while surprised, I also noticed a possibility."
"It’s not that our Emperor Eye is worse than the Six Eyes, but that it is not perfect enough."
The reason was simple: they were not complete from the beginning; their soul was split into two.
"Now, it is time to return everything to you."
"Wait a minute....."
Akashi still wanted to hold on, but the other Akashi was very decisive.
"The meaning of my existence is victory; if I cannot bring victory, my existence becomes meaningless."
He didn't give the other self any chance to hold on.
Akashi took one last deep look at his old teammates, left a sentence, and disappeared completely.
"If you can, please apologize to Haizaki for me........."
And the bullet comments in the real world at this moment.
They were already wailing.
They were frantically spamming "Don't do it, Captain Akashi, we don't need to win the game" and so on.
Tiandao naturally couldn't see it; he had already thrown all his energy into the offensive end.
*Boom!*
With a dribble that was clean and sharp to the extreme, Tiandao flashed past Akashi’s tight defense.
He still maintained absolute suppression over Akashi.
But this time.
Akashi didn't surrender just like that; he completed a turn extremely quickly and swung his arm to slap the ball away during the turn.
"Hm?!"
Tiandao was suddenly startled; a chill came from behind him.
It was too late to dodge; the ball in his hand was slapped away by Akashi with force.
"Want to defeat Rakuzan! It’s not that easy!" Akashi shouted loudly.
In the stands, everyone’s eyes widened.
"Really?"
"Little Tiandao’s dribble, was broken by someone?"
This was a memory Kise had never had in his mind.
It was always Tiandao making people doubt their lives with his steals; when had he ever seen him get stolen from?
But now it had happened; Akashi completed this steal almost with his back to Tiandao.
"Could it be....."
They all suddenly thought of a possibility.
"Completely... complete now."
Tiandao opened his mouth slightly.
After Murasakibara, even Akashi had updated to the theatrical version in advance.
A year later, Nash and his evil dragon team might be beaten into evil worms?
"Always causing trouble for me!"
Rakuzan’s counterattack.
After Hayama Kotaro grabbed the ball, he returned it to Akashi immediately.
Akashi quickly pushed the ball across half-court.
At this moment, he was the complete Akashi Seijuro; the Emperor Eye no longer had flaws and became perfect.
He, like Tiandao, could see everyone’s future!
Facing Tiandao again, he didn't need a screen to deliver the ball to his teammates.
*Whoosh!*
The ball passed through Tiandao and flew toward the incoming Hayama Kotaro.
The best offensive position allowed him to attack the basket the moment he received the ball.
*Swish!*
Hayama Kotaro scored the layup, and the point gap became 3 points, a one-shot difference.
"It’s not over yet, reverse the score for me in one go!"
How could Shirogane Eiji not know what had happened?
Their team leader had evolved again, or rather, returned to the posture he should have had.
At this point, how could there be any reason to lose the game!
"Rakuzan!"
"Rakuzan!"
"Rakuzan!" **CHAPTER 475**
In the southern position, Rakuzan fans shouted with all their might, the sound wave suppressing all other noises.
This team, known as the Emperor of Opening, had the largest number of fans in the country!
Compared to it, any other team looked like a nouveau riche.
What made these Rakuzan fans even crazier was that Rakuzan would soon erase the point gap.
Hanamiya Makoto received the pass, preparing to use his own intelligence to steadily score this goal.
Unexpectedly, a gray figure suddenly killed to his side.
It was Mayuzumi Chihiro; he didn't know when he had run to Hanamiya Makoto’s side, like a shadow, slapping the ball out of Hanamiya Makoto’s hand.
"Nani?!" Hanamiya Makoto only then noticed Mayuzumi Chihiro, his expression extremely gloomy, "This bastard!"
The ball was picked up by Hayama Kotaro, who had no intention of passing.
The Thunder Beast immediately dribbled toward the other half-court; even if not in the small Zone realm, his speed was still that fast.
He ran wildly toward the Kirisaki Daiichi paint.
Akashi decisively created space for him, pulling Tiandao away.
Behind him was the relentless Hanamiya Makoto; the Bad Boy was extremely angry, using all his strength to chase, and at the last moment caught up to Hayama Kotaro, lunging at him before he could complete the layup.
But..
*Beep!*
The referee blew the whistle, and at the same time, Hayama Kotaro scored the layup.
Rakuzan completed a 2+1!
"Roar!"
Rakuzan fans were boiling; as long as Hayama Kotaro hit the free throw, the point gap would be completely tied.
"Damn it!" Hanamiya Makoto clenched his fists tightly, and the other Kirisaki Daiichi players were also quite unwilling.
Tiandao watched everything silently and sighed softly. **CHAPTER 476**
