Chapter 380

Boom~

Kise returns 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 is even more brilliant and dazzling; Kise starts immediately upon landing, driving his body with Aomine's explosive power.

The arena boils for who knows how many times, and the cheers are endless.

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

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

Kise at this moment has truly reached Tiandao's level.

The two rush toward the other half-court.

The duel between the two genius teenagers brings too much shock to people.

The intensity is so great that people almost forget to breathe.

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

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

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

As soon as these words are spoken, the Seirin members seem 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 guess Tiandao's intention.

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

"Because it's meaningless."

Just when the real-world audience is confused and wondering if the budget is being saved, the narrator suddenly cuts in.

The camera gives Tiandao's first-person perspective.

In the scene, he has already arrived before the door to the Zone.

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

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

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

Tiandao takes a step back, refusing to walk into the door that is already completely open to him.

"Because it's meaningless."

The narrator repeats this sentence again.

"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 turns around and disappears from the realm of the Zone.

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

Even those viewers who love Kise have nothing to say.

Just because of this reason?

Tiandao is too proud, right? He could clearly win easily, but he insists on choosing the hardest way?

Didn't you hear the narrator? Tiandao believes that Kise will step into the realm of 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 the deal with that "and"? Don't just say half of it!

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

The audience is amazed at Tiandao's domineering nature, and Kise is also sighing at Tiandao's confidence.

"As expected of Tiandao-cchi, he is so handsome no matter when."

What Tiandao is thinking is actually not guessed, but precisely because of this, Kise wants to win even more.

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

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

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

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

Tiandao hears his words, is stunned for a moment, and then sighs.

"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 the victory!"

Eight!

Snap~

Before Kise can even break into the free-throw line, the ball in his hand is stolen by Tiandao.

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

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

Why?

Kise is puzzled, but Tiandao doesn't need him to answer, giving the answer directly.

"Because while an ace can enjoy the love of 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 the victory!"
