Chapter 455: All-Around Showdown

Akashi had already mastered the instruction manual for the sixth man.

The ideal state, naturally, was to let Mayuzumi Chihiro play until the misdirection effect ended.

But reality often doesn't develop in the direction most favorable to oneself, full of unknown variables.

What he needed to do was to ensure he gained the most benefits when an accident occurred.

This was the survival rule injected into him by the Akashi Consortium.

Sacrificing Mayuzumi Chihiro alone to exchange for the team's lead was very worth it, because they had a high probability of winning the match through such a lead.

The premise was that he had to subdue the beast before him, or at least lower Tiandao's shooting percentage.

Akashi no longer took the initiative to attack, lowering his center of gravity, keeping his body in the best state for an attack at all times, waiting for Tiandao to make the first move.

"That kind of open opportunity, Kirisaki Daiichi will not have again."

Rakuzan also adopted a man-to-man defensive strategy.

This was their confidence; having the most luxurious lineup in the country, they could completely do this.

"So that's it, cutting off the connection between Tiandao and other Kirisaki Daiichi players, forcing Tiandao to engage in a one-on-one duel."

"In this way, even if Akashi can't completely stop Tiandao, Kirisaki Daiichi's scoring efficiency will drop."

This was adopting the Jordan Rules against Tiandao.

Betting that you, Tiandao, can't kill Rakuzan alone, because the person defending him is Akashi Seijuro!

And only he could cut off Tiandao's unsolvable passing.

But Tiandao's passing couldn't really be cut off.

As early as the theatrical version, Nash had demonstrated how to bypass the Emperor Eye and send the ball out.

Facing Akashi's cold gaze, Tiandao retreated a step and hid the ball behind his back.

The next second...

"Release!"

The silver-white blade of light bloomed again; in a situation where even Akashi couldn't see clearly, Tiandao sent the ball out.

"He passed it! He dodged the Emperor Eye's insight!"

"However, the quality of such a pass cannot be guaranteed."

Midorima calmed his mind.

Tiandao's pass this time was not in his best state; the posture and force of the pass were much worse compared to his original passing.

Tiandao's mouth, however, curled up slightly, and he said, "For him, any time can be the best opportunity."

The ball shot out from Tiandao's hand like a cannonball and fell into Hanamiya Makoto's hands.

The Bad Boy had made a simple off-ball screen with his teammate in advance, which made the defender standing in front of him change from Hayama Kotaro to Mayuzumi Chihiro!

The latter, as a new type of sixth man, was superior to Kuroko in every aspect.

But his stats, after all, did not exceed the level of an ordinary player. ===== CHAPTER 457 =====
