Chapter 250

"What is the principle behind this?"

Does he not need to let his opponent show off, and it’s enough for him to show off by himself?

He quickly clicked on other live streams, and after watching, he understood what was going on.

It wasn’t a question of showing off or not, but that the audience was attracted by his uniqueness.

While saying he was a "madman," their little hands silently gave him a like, becoming a member of the Tendou crowd.

This works too?

Tendou was stunned for a moment, but after thinking for a while, he understood.

After all, the "gentle" routine isn’t popular anymore; many hit new anime take the evil path.

Righteous hot-bloodedness will never go out of style, but it is no longer the absolute protagonist.

Otherwise, why would the audience of *Jujutsu Kaisen* only think about watching the final battle between the strongest Gojo Satoru and Sukuna, instead ignoring the protagonist?

The times have changed!

Tendou closed the screen and continued to arrange tactics.

Kirisaki First’s substitutes, as usual—Tendou’s words were heard by Kirisaki First’s teammates, and they didn’t have much reaction; they highly recognized Tendou’s remarks...

After all, since they debuted as a group, Kirisaki First had been following Hanamiya Makoto’s lead.

If Hanamiya Makoto wanted to play violent basketball, they would follow and play violent basketball.

Later, Kirisaki First’s boss became Tendou, and the Bad Boys Legion became an iron-blooded army.

Including Hanamiya Makoto, he thought the same; he couldn’t compete with Tendou, so besides integrating into the new team, there was only one path left: to leave.

He didn’t leave, so he integrated.

Others were the same; this was the survival rule of the Kirisaki First basketball club.

It shows how much a team is influenced by its core player.

The timeout ended, and both sides returned to the court.

Shutoku still didn’t intend to give up, even though the point gap had been stretched to as much as 20 points.

Takao Kazunari refused to give up, or perhaps they had no other choice but to walk down this path to the end.

Midorima was the same.

After arriving at the three-point line, he exchanged looks with Takao Kazunari and understood each other’s thoughts.

Then, he made a gathering motion without the ball, bent his legs to gather power, and looked straight ahead.

He was using this way to find the rhythm of the shot, so that the moment the basketball reached his hands, he could ensure the shot wouldn’t miss.

Takao Kazunari saw this and immediately started to shake off Hanamiya Makoto’s entanglement.

The Rakuzan people in the stands were also asking Akashi.

"Akashi, if it were you, could you destroy Shutoku’s alley-oop three-pointer coordination?"

"I could."

Akashi gave the answer very simply.

"Shintaro has trained both hands to be almost equally flexible, and both can shoot. However, he is left-handed, and he wants to do everything without mistakes, so he will always choose the left hand, which has a greater chance of success, for every shot."

"As long as you grasp this point, you can lock onto the direction Takao Kazunari’s pass will fly."

"Next, just apply pressure to Takao Kazunari, force him to the vicinity, and you can intercept their pass through the Emperor Eye."

Once the ball reached Midorima’s hands, it meant the defense had failed.

This was the terrifying thing about Shutoku’s alley-oop three-pointer coordination.

Therefore, the key to destroying this coordination was to not let Midorima catch the ball.

But Tendou didn’t do that this time; he had a faster way.

"Domain Expansion!"

"Infinite Void!"

*Hum.*

"Domain Expansion: Infinite Void!"

Hum~

The ball was about to be released, but suddenly stopped.

Takao Kazunari’s brain was flooded with a sudden, massive influx of data, leaving him dazed.

He couldn't pass it; it would be intercepted, and Kirisaki Daiichi would seize the chance to counterattack.

His brain was bombarded by such information, causing his actions to grind to a complete halt, missing the golden opportunity.

"This, this is completely impossible!"

Hayama Kotaro shook his head, recalling various experiences during the Inter-High finals.

That domain was nearly invincible.

As long as one approached Tendou and entered his domain, the brain would suddenly go blank, ceasing to send commands to the body.

Once caught in the Infinite Void, a person would instantly become like an "idiot."

"Takao!"

Someone from Shutoku shouted, and Takao Kazunari finally snapped out of his trance.

But by the time he regained his senses, Hanamiya Makoto was almost pressed against his face, reaching out to slap the ball away and complete the steal.

Takao Kazunari tried to steal it back on the spot, but was elbowed away by Hanamiya Makoto’s "Bad Boy Elbow."

"Swish!"

The ball was hurled toward the front court with all of Hanamiya Makoto’s strength, and the Shutoku players sprinted back to defend.

But in the end, they were far, far too slow.

After gathering his strength, Tendou charged out like a thunderbolt.

The visual tension was immense; it was like a character in an action anime who, while standing perfectly still, suddenly vanished from their spot and crashed forward.

Beep!

Aida Riko pressed the stopwatch, and as she focused her eyes, her lips felt a bit dry.

"3/4 court sprint speed... 3.33 seconds!"

This was an extremely shocking figure.

How fast was Tendou’s sprint?

Let’s put it this way: Iverson’s 3/4 court sprint speed was 3.10 seconds, and Iverson was one of the fastest guards ever.

"3.33 seconds to cover a distance of 23 meters?"

When the Seirin players heard this, their jaws all dropped.

The 3/4 court sprint distance is roughly 23 meters, and Tendou had spent less than 4 seconds to finish it.

This was already at a professional level, and in the top-tier ranks at that.

"But, this still isn't his limit..."

Alexandra Garcia felt like she was going crazy.

She knew that Tendou could enter the Zone at will by his own volition.

In other words, Tendou’s sprint speed still had at least 10% room for improvement.

Calculating 10% of 3 seconds, Tendou, as a first-year high schooler, could potentially run it in...

"3.03 seconds!"

This speed couldn't be described merely as top-tier; even in the entire history of the basketball world, it would be among the very best.

Whether in basketball or soccer, when such speed appears in a player, they are worthy of being honored by fans as a "Speedster."

"Bang!"

The ball was ferociously slammed into the hoop; Shutoku’s defensive recovery was fast, they just couldn't catch up to Tendou.

The undefended Tendou even performed a 180-degree dunk.

The point gap was 22; Shutoku had been pushed to the edge of a cliff, with one foot already stepping off.

This was too despair-inducing.

Takao Kazunari even felt that this was more helpless than when they faced Teiko, back when the entire Generation of Miracles was present.

The alley-oop three-pointer combination was the trump card Shutoku had prepared for the Winter Cup.

They had no stronger weapon left to contend with Kirisaki Daiichi.
