Chapter 417

But when it comes to physical talent, Murasakibara is perhaps the most dazzling among them.

That athletic ability, which doesn't match his body proportions, creates a monster who only needs the simplest methods to destroy his opponents.

"I'm quite happy that you're so motivated."

"However, Atsushi, you'd better maintain this fighting spirit until the very last moment."

Tiandao smiles and meets Murasakibara's gaze, showing no panic, his composure making people feel at ease.

At the very least, the people from Kirisaki Daiichi quickly recover from the shock.

That's right, when it comes to monsters, whose monster is as unreasonable as ours?

6:2!

Once Masako Araki sees that the team can score, she dismisses the idea of a timeout.

Transition from offense to defense.

Receiving the inbound pass from Kentaro Seto, Tiandao personally brings the ball across the half-court line.

Now they can only play a positional game against Yosen.

His eyes look forward, but what he sees is the flow of the entire court.

Every time he changes his movements, the future he sees changes along with them.

*Slap~*

Tiandao dribbles to the top of the three-point arc. The person standing in front of him right now is not Tatsuya Himuro or Kensuke Fukui, but Atsushi Murasakibara.

"A center defending a forward?"

"A mismatch opportunity for a small player against a big one, just handed to Kirisaki Daiichi like that?"

There is no shortage of knowledgeable spectators in the stands.

For a small forward like Tiandao, who passes people like he's cutting through hemp, having a center defend him—isn't that just courting death?

"Yosen wouldn't be stupid enough not to see this; they must have something to rely on, right, Midorima?" The people from Shutoku turn their gaze toward Midorima.

"Ah, Murasakibara's defensive range is the entire area inside the three-point line." Midorima's expression is calm, without a ripple.

If Kagami is the player with the worst compatibility with him.

Then he, Midorima, and Murasakibara are the players with the worst compatibility.

There is no other reason; it is simply that his own shooting range far exceeds Murasakibara's defensive range.

"However, others do not possess your shooting range. For an attacker like Tiandao, Murasakibara's defensive range is simply a nightmare."

"Even if pulled out to the three-point line, the defensive range is enough to shroud Tiandao's offensive range."

The animation team even thoughtfully provides a 3D diagram.

They drew a circle with Murasakibara at the center, covering nearly half of the half-court.

"But..."

"*Slap~*"

While speaking, the basketball has already threaded through the gaps between people.

In the instant before Kenichi Okamura and Liu even react, the basketball is passed by Tiandao, unnoticed, into the hands of Kentaro Seto.

He turns and goes straight for a layup, not giving the opponent time to react.

"Once Murasakibara leaves the paint to mark Tiandao, there will definitely be a hole in the interior." Shoichi Imayoshi shakes his head. "That kind of pass, exclusive to a monster, cannot be stopped unless you are of the Generation of Miracles."

The team with the best defense in the country actually has no way to stop the opponent's offense.

And the cause of all this is merely Tiandao's pair of eyes and his passing.

"Predicting the future of the entire court."

"A pass that only the Generation of Miracles can see clearly."

"Simply an invincible existence."

Shoichi Imayoshi had always felt that Aomine was the strongest one.

Not anymore; he is starting to feel that the leader of Kirisaki Daiichi is the true strongest.

"But at least we can still score."

Masako Araki bites her lip.

Before finding a way to deal with Kirisaki Daiichi's offensive problem, they can only rely on Murasakibara to keep the score close.

"*Stomp~*"

Murasakibara receives the ball and takes a heavy step.

There are no superb dribbling skills, only brute force flying like a brick.

Kentaro Seto is miserable, his chest burning with pain from being shoved.

Facing such a humanoid monster, even playing dirty is useless; he gets sent flying the moment he gets close, making even getting near him a problem.

"This won't stop this guy."

He is shoved back three steps by Murasakibara.

Just when people think Murasakibara is going to use physical force to clear the path again and then easily complete a dunk.

"Total Concentration!"

Tiandao takes a deep breath, like the breathing techniques from Demon Slayer, and has already arrived in front of Murasakibara, blocking his path.

"*Boom~*"

The two bodies collide in the blink of an eye; they are both moving too fast, like two race cars colliding at full speed.

The violent collision leaves the audience stunned, as if the entire court is shaking.

What is even harder to accept is that Tiandao actually withstood Murasakibara's force! ===== CHAPTER 419 =====
