Chapter 382

Kise thinks Tiandao is using trash talk to shake his heart.

But that's not entirely true; he only guessed half of it.

Influenced by professional basketball culture, Tiandao's understanding is completely different from Kuroko and the others.

The "enjoying the love of thousands and bearing pressure" mentioned earlier is just a part of it.

There is another part: having a good relationship with teammates can certainly increase team cohesion.

But what the world lacks least are disobedient, spoiled, and prickly players.

You can treat everyone on the team as brothers, which is no problem, but you have to figure out the primary and secondary.

Just like the current Kirisaki Daiichi—if he, Tiandao, didn't have a firm hand, how could he get them to be obedient?

He would have been elbowed by Hanamiya Makoto on the first day of joining the club and sent home to find his mother.

If Akashi's hand wasn't firm, how could the three Uncrowned Kings of Rakuzan be obedient?

Even Aomine, if he's in a bad mood and runs into Wakamatsu Kosuke's foul mouth, will also teach him a lesson.

Without an iron-blooded hand, if you get kicked around, you're a fart as a team leader.

Kuroko, Kise, and even Midorima are all the same; they have all chosen paths completely different from his own.

This game is not just about victory or defeat, but also a collision of beliefs.

The game restarts.

Kaizō's possession.

At this time, Kaizō has handed over all possession to Kise to control.

Again, ordinary players, even a good player like Kasamatsu Yukio, are too far behind in level in front of the Generation of Miracles.

And Kise, this time, he is not obsessed with playing one-on-one against Tiandao.

Under Tiandao's gaze, Kobori Hiroshi in the paint pulls out to the perimeter.

"Screen?"

Letting Kobori Hiroshi, who has a certain shooting ability, perform a pick-and-roll instead of Hayakawa Mitsuhiro does indeed increase the threat of a roll after the screen.

"However, it's all an illusion."

A 360-degree field of vision without blind spots allows Tiandao to take in everything that is happening and about to happen on the entire court.

The breakthrough after the screen is a smokescreen.

The roll after the pick-and-roll is also an illusion.

The real purpose is over there... Moriyama Yoshitaka, who is running to an open spot using an off-ball screen!

Tiandao's eyes flash, and the moment Kobori Hiroshi's screen arrives, he bypasses the screen in one step.

This is completely beyond the expectations of the Kaizō people.

They have never encountered a guy who can even render screens ineffective.

Those eyes are too perverted!

Kise, however, seems to have anticipated it long ago; without any pause, after performing continuous breakthrough movements, he suddenly flings the ball in Moriyama Yoshitaka's direction.

"He passed?!"

"That is to say, Kise gave up on deciding the winner with Tiandao and admitted defeat?"

"It should be said that if they continue to play one-on-one, Kaizō will lose the game nine times out of ten; this is a last resort."

The Seirin members aren't very good at playing, but their analysis is quite logical.

The point gap has unknowingly returned to 23 points.

And in Kise and Tiandao's one-on-one, it is not easy for either side to score.

For Kaizō, whose time is not on their side, continuing this kind of one-on-one is no different from chronic suicide.

They don't want to lose, so they have no choice but to seek change!

"Personal victory or defeat doesn't matter; I just want to win this game now and win to the end with my senpais!" This is the most real thought in Kise's heart at this moment.

"Provided you can win."

Tiandao extends his long arms and, the moment he makes the passing motion, rushes out with an even faster movement to intercept the ball.

Seeing this, Kise's heart skips a beat; he can feel that Tiandao's state has improved again at this moment.

Exactly the same as in the battle against Tōō.

"He broke through the 80% shackles; this guy can really easily adjust his game state." Aomine gasps.

Even he cannot do such a thing.

One must encounter a strong enough opponent to stimulate the improvement of one's own state.

And Tiandao, he can improve his state as he pleases.

Use the Six Eyes to control the body to break the 80% limit; once it reaches 90%, he can step into the Zone realm to stimulate 100% of his potential.

This should be a super-strong adjustment ability that only NBA superstars can possess, but Tiandao had already mastered it when he was a teenager.

Tiandao breaks the 80% shackles and heads toward the 90% direction, his game state further improving.

And Kise has already begun to feel powerless.

At their level, let alone 10%, even 5% is a visible improvement.

Unable to improve his state in time, he is destined to be left behind by Tiandao again.

He barely catches up, his brain turning rapidly, searching through thousands of skill sets, and launching the ultimate defense he is capable of.

It's useless.

Because the person in front of him at this moment represents the strongest firepower in the country.

"Eight!"

The basketball roars like a lion, constantly hitting the floor, as if it has gone berserk.

Kise resists for a moment, only to watch Tiandao rush past him at high speed, whipping up a gust of wind that blows his hair up.
