Chapter 424

As for the center problem...

As soon as they come up, Kirisaki Daiichi scores through Tiandao's assist to a teammate.

"However, subbing out Kentaro Seto can increase the team's mobility and strengthen the efficiency of counterattacks. But what about the interior defense?" Riko Aida thinks hard, unable to jump out of the basketball philosophy of this era.

Soon, Kirisaki Daiichi gives the answer.

When Kensuke Fukui dribbles the ball across the half-court, Kirisaki Daiichi's changed defensive positioning is exposed to everyone.

Kojiro Furuhashi, Makoto Hanamiya, Hiroshi Yamazaki, and Ichiya Hara all press out beyond the three-point line.

Makoto Hanamiya marks Kensuke Fukui alone, while Kojiro Furuhashi and Hiroshi Yamazaki unfold a double-team on Tatsuya Himuro.

The problem of insufficient firepower on the perimeter for Kirisaki Daiichi exists for Yosen as well.

Their only scoring point on the perimeter is Tatsuya Himuro; Kensuke Fukui can only count as half, and the others do not possess shooting ability beyond the three-point line.

"But by doing this, there is only one person left in the paint." Yukio Kasamatsu looks over; Kirisaki Daiichi's paint is simply excessively empty, with only Tiandao alone.

But the next second, Tiandao steps on the top of the paint, and in a trance, he seems to see an invisible domain spreading from Tiandao as the center to the entire area inside the three-point line.

That black monster stands in the center of the crowd like a demon, looking down at the entire court.

"Super wide-range defense?!"

"Can Tiandao also do this kind of thing, besides Murasakibara?"

This is a matter of course.

Tiandao has the strongest comprehensive ability of the Generation of Miracles and can even erupt with the speed and strength of other Generation of Miracles members at certain moments.

"More importantly, he can see the future of the entire court." Midorima stares at his old teammate.

Shutoku has already experienced his super wide-range defense.

"This monster!"

Masako Araki lets out a curse like many head coaches.

From his debut against Seirin, then Touou and Kaijo, he seems like a bottomless pit, constantly creating shocks for people!

As things stand, no one knows what other weapons this Generation of Miracles member is hiding.

The people from Yosen are also full of astonishment.

Now, the area inside the three-point line is like a forbidden zone; stepping into it is death.

The audience in the real world sees it even more intuitively than they do.

Under the blessing of special effects, the entire area inside the three-point line is surrounded by fire, with Tiandao standing alone in the center of the fire circle, his body straight and full of dominance.

People are terrified, not expecting the game to develop in this direction at all.

Including Murasakibara himself, who stares blankly at Tiandao.

Kensuke Fukui tentatively takes a step, crossing the three-point line.

However, the next second, Tiandao's gaze sweeps over, scaring him into retreating back outside the three-point line.

"Give it to me!" Tatsuya Himuro circles over again; Kensuke Fukui, as if seeing a savior, hurriedly tosses the ball to the former.

Facing the double-team defense, Tatsuya Himuro does not retreat at all.

He performs a realistic feint, moving forward and backward, left and right.

Even with the double-team, Kojiro Furuhashi and Hiroshi Yamazaki cannot force him to stop.

But...

"We are not good people!" Kojiro Furuhashi says something quite extraordinary in a calm tone.

He supports his dead-fish eyes and hits him hard, causing Tatsuya Himuro to stumble.

On the other side, Hiroshi Yamazaki takes the opportunity to steal the ball.

Tatsuya Himuro notices their movements, grits his teeth, and forcibly controls his center of gravity to stubbornly kill his way out of the double-team.

He succeeds!

But he also fails!

Just as he crosses the double-team, his teammates' exclamations also sound simultaneously.

"Tatsuya!" Kenichi Okamura roars, deafeningly.

Tatsuya Himuro suddenly lowers his head, only to find that in order to break through the double-team, he has unknowingly crossed the three-point line completely and stepped into Tiandao's defensive domain, with invisible cold air instantly filling his entire body.

With a teammate like Murasakibara, he knows too well what this means.

"Crap!"

He secretly thinks it's bad and immediately finds a teammate to send the ball out.

Too late!

With a "whoosh" sound, under the blessing of special effects, Tiandao is wrapped in a layer of white light, followed by a pitch-black monster behind him.

Under Tatsuya Himuro's gaze, he streaks across like a meteor, simultaneously intercepting his pass and walking away.

"Defensive retreat!"

All of this happens too fast; the people from Yosen cannot see how Tiandao suddenly killed his way from the paint to the three-point line.

By the time they react, the offensive and defensive positions have already swapped.

Tiandao rushes with the ball, like a whirlwind scraping across the long street; the Yosen people behind him cannot keep up with his speed.

Murasakibara quickly unfolds a sprint; he is now the only person on the team who can catch up to Tiandao's speed.

The two cross the center line one after another, then cross the three-point line, and then stop almost simultaneously.

"Another Flame Shot? But that's useless against Atsushi!" Tatsuya Himuro accelerates to run back.

The Flame Shot is not invincible; its weakness is talent monsters.

Murasakibara is exactly such a talent monster; he jumps with full force, and after extending his arms, his defensive area is enough to cover the height of the basketball's first vertical ascent.

However.

"*Swish! *"

The basketball passes through Murasakibara's palm again and hits steadily.

"How?!" Tatsuya Himuro opens his eyes wide.

His own Flame Shot has never broken through Murasakibara's defense even once.

Kagami in the stands turns his head to look at his teacher, "Alexandra?"

Alexandra sighs, "It's the difference in talent; he jumps higher than Tatsuya, and his hang time, ball control ability, and shooting ability are all above Tatsuya's."

She is the creator of the Flame Shot, and Tatsuya Himuro is the second user to master the Flame Shot.

They have both mastered the Flame Shot for longer than Tiandao, much, much longer.

But the power of the Flame Shot in Tiandao's hands has already surpassed both of them.

For no other reason than that Tiandao's talent is far above theirs! ===== CHAPTER 426 =====
