Chapter 228: A Brand New Era
The game was very intense, at least the scene of the confrontation looked very intense.
Neither side would give an inch, fighting for every ball, with scenes of players being knocked over happening constantly.
At first, the referee tried hard to control it, avoiding the players from both teams getting too heated and doing something irrational.
As a result, after blowing the whistle many times with no effect, he simply acquiesced to this level of physical confrontation.
He could see that although the confrontation was intense, it was still restrained.
Therefore, this high-intensity physical confrontation continued until the final minute of the game.
Rakuzan fans looked at the numbers on the scoreboard, their hanging hearts completely dead.
Even though the scene was very intense, Rakuzan had not successfully brought the point gap back to single digits since the start of the fourth quarter.
Tracy McGrady once staged a crazy performance of 13 points in 35 seconds during a game, leading his team to reverse the result.
Rakuzan was now trailing by more than 13 points, a full 17 points behind Kirisaki Daiichi.
Akashi had no other options; Rakuzan had fought until they were completely exhausted.
The electric sparks unique to the Zone dissipated from the corners of his eyes once again, and the same was true for the Heavenly Dao.
However...
"Bang!"
The basketball hit the floor at high speed and rebounded; the Heavenly Dao caught the inbound pass from his teammate and sprinted wildly.
Akashi stepped up to defend, but was cleanly bypassed by the Heavenly Dao.
For two people who could both see the future, the key to victory lay in individual ability.
The Heavenly Dao proved to everyone once again that he was the strongest in the Generation of Miracles, and also the strongest among all players in the country.
Seeing this, the Rakuzan players immediately surrounded him.
Except for Nebuya Eikichi guarding the paint, the remaining three charged toward the Heavenly Dao.
It was just that...
"Hum."
Their ears felt as if they had gone deaf, followed by a massive amount of information flooding their brains.
Hayama Kotaro and the others fell into a dead loop again, unable to extricate themselves; their bodies and brains could not reach a consensus. As soon as they approached the Heavenly Dao, they seemed to turn into idiots.
This scene was shocking.
Everyone who attempted to approach the Heavenly Dao was as if frozen in place.
The Heavenly Dao walked past the three of them with the ball, as if strolling down a morning street.
"Bang!"
Nebuya Eikichi, guarding the basket, gave it his all, but was not a match for the Heavenly Dao.
The point gap reached 19 points; Rakuzan was beyond saving, and defeat was a foregone conclusion.
"The brain is gradually adapting to the Infinite Void." Akashi wiped the sweat with his hand.
He began to understand why the Heavenly Dao only unleashed the Infinite Void at the very end.
The Infinite Void was not perfect; it had weaknesses.
If one used a data torrent to impact an opponent for a long time, the effect of the Infinite Void would gradually weaken.
Because humans are creatures with extremely strong adaptability; if the brain endures this kind of data impact for a long time, it will gradually selectively filter out this redundant information.
This is a self-protection mechanism to avoid truly becoming an idiot.
Based on his own adaptation speed, Akashi inferred that the limit time for the Infinite Void was around 15 minutes.
However, this was Akashi’s limit time; for different people, the effective time of the Infinite Void would also be different.
Akashi did not feel happy about this.
He knew better than anyone what the consequences would be if the Heavenly Dao went all out for 15 minutes.
Let alone 15 minutes, even 5 minutes would be enough for him to change the final result of a game.
As the ultimate technique of Jujutsu Kaisen, the Domain's power was beyond doubt. Only a few proud sons of heaven could comprehend their own Domain.
The conditions for opening it were not harsh, but there was a limit to the number of times it could be used.
Constructing an independent Domain required an incomparably massive amount of cursed energy; except for Gojo Satoru and Sukuna who could open it multiple times,
other sorcerers and cursed spirits could only open it once or twice a day, so the Domain was also a trump card.
Over the past week, the Heavenly Dao had thoroughly mastered the Infinite Void.
It was indeed as Akashi guessed; the effect would gradually weaken as the brain adapted.
This time varied from person to person.
And then, opening the Domain for a long time would make one’s spirit very exhausted.
Other than that, there were no other negative side effects.
Ryofu was already speechless.
His feelings were even more intense than those of the Rakuzan players, because anime has special effects!
"This ability, it could even rival the one from the Prince of Tennis next door, right?"
It was too overpowered!
Ryofu watched time and again as the Heavenly Dao broke into the dragon's den alone, and the Rakuzan players were immediately frozen as soon as they got close.
That data torrent was visualized by the production team with special effects, turning into colorful beams of light, rushing toward the opponent in the hundreds of millions.
And the Heavenly Dao, he didn't have to do anything, walking over as if for a stroll, completely destroying Rakuzan's defensive line.
It was too elegant, too calm, too domineering, too damn unreasonable...
"I feel like I can't even fight the Heavenly Dao without opening the Selfless State, and it has to be the second level of the Selfless State." Ryofu complained loudly in the live broadcast room, "The Infinite Void is a 'Killer Tennis' level ability!"
Begging for flowers.
But it was all in vain.
The result would not change because of his complaints.
"It's over, it's the Dao."
The point gap had widened to 19 points, with less than a minute remaining; Rakuzan's chance of a comeback was not even 0.1%.
"I'm heading back first, Satsuki."
Aomine left as soon as he said it; he wished the Winter Cup was tomorrow so he could continue playing against the Heavenly Dao.
"I'm going back too." Midorima also turned and left.
Compared to watching others stand on the podium, he preferred to be the one on the podium himself.
He was a bit urgent now, because Kirisaki Daiichi and Shutoku were in the same region.
He had to make himself stronger!
"Eh, even little Midorima is leaving?"
"I'm going back too, Kise and Momoi, you two keep watching."
Murasakibara also left, leaving only Kise and Satsuki behind.
"What about little Momoi?" Kise looked at the last person.
"I want to watch Ten-chan lift the trophy." Satsuki said as a matter of course, and after speaking, she took out the camera she had prepared long ago and shook it.
"What's this, you guessed in advance that little Heavenly Dao would win?"
"Of course, because Ten-chan is the strongest!"
Someone who didn't know better would think the Heavenly Dao was your childhood friend.
Kise rolled his eyes at her; he had originally planned to go back, but chose to stay.
He didn't feel at ease leaving such a cute girl all by herself.
"The first full-scale collision of the Generation of Miracles, the one who won in the end is the Heavenly Dao!"
The Seirin people also got up and left.
Today's game made them understand that they still had a long way to go before reaching the championship.
Because of those geniuses of the Generation of Miracles, the competition in future national tournaments, including the Winter Cup qualifiers, would be unprecedented.
Other fans, including players, turned their eyes to Kirisaki Daiichi.
The era of Rakuzan dominating the high school league was over.
Now was the era belonging to Kirisaki Daiichi, or rather, to Tiandao Tiandao Tiandao Jingyan!
"Beep~"
The referee blew the whistle to end the game right on time.
In an instant, the Kirisaki Daiichi substitute players, who had been waiting impatiently, all rushed onto the court, shouting, "We are the champions!"
