Chapter 503
"Zone!" Kagami gritted his teeth.
From the moment he learned about this domain, Kagami had been studying it and thinking about how to enter it.
That was the necessary condition to defeat the Generation of Miracles.
But it was cruel; until now, he hadn't been able to see the door to the Zone, not even once.
Seeing the advantage his teammates had built with all their might disappear in the blink of an eye, Kagami was unwilling.
During a team timeout, he requested of the coach, "Coach, please let me go one-on-one with Aomine next!"
"One-on-one? That's a monster that even 3 people can't stop." His teammates urged him to calm down.
"I am very calm, please, Coach!" Kagami was truly calm, not hot-headed.
He felt that if he wanted to enter the Zone, he could only realize it in a one-on-one with Aomine.
Under Aomine's high pressure, he would force out all his potential, just like wildness.
But Kagami didn't know that the Zone was something you couldn't get the more you longed for it. So the more he cared, the less he could see the door to the Zone.
Fortunately, he still had teammates.
After returning from the timeout, Kagami was easily defeated by Aomine several times.
Inside the Zone and outside the Zone were two completely different worlds; at this moment, Kagami had been left far behind by Aomine.
But reality is sometimes so dramatic.
As the match progressed, Kagami forgot about the Zone entirely because his mind was full of his teammates' figures.
Then, without anyone being prepared, he broke into the Zone domain.
"Friendship, bonds; these two things are indeed invincible special moves in the 2D world."
Tiandao saw Kagami's flashback through the animation and then casually turned it off.
"Zzz!"
On the court, a deep red lightning bloomed from the corner of Kagami's eyes.
Like a ghost, he swatted Aomine's dribble from behind.
"What?!"
In an instant, the entire arena audience was shocked.
"Could it be, Kagami also?"
"Entered?"
The expressions of the Kirisaki Daiichi people changed abruptly.
If they had questioned before whether Kagami Taiga was a genius of the same level as the Generation of Miracles.
Now they wouldn't, because Kagami had stepped into the Zone domain exclusive to geniuses.
"You knew it all along? Tiandao?" Hara Kazuya turned his head to look at Tiandao.
"How is that possible? Everyone's trigger for entering the Zone is different." Tiandao denied it; knowing even the trigger for entering was too heaven-defying.
But his meaning was also very clear; he knew Kagami had the qualifications to enter the Zone.
Others also heard the potential meaning in his words and were all conquered by his visionary insight.
The subsequent match was exactly the same as the animation.
The fastest high school student in the country and the highest-jumping high school student in the country engaged in the most intense collision on the court.
It is said that red and blue have been a CP since ancient times; the duel between the two was naturally earth-shattering, like demons dancing wildly.
But strangely, both of their states improved, yet the scoring for both sides stagnated.
"Neither can score?"
"Is it a problem of player compatibility?"
The people from Shutoku also watched this focal battle.
"It's not a compatibility problem; it's that their levels are evenly matched!"
Midorima was exceptionally calm.
He believed that Tiandao gave fans too many illusions.
Tiandao's ability was too outstanding; even facing opponents who also entered the Zone, he could always maintain suppression over them.
Little did they know, when two players were at the same level and stepped into the Zone domain, scoring became a difficult thing.
Because the players' concentration would be raised to the limit, they would almost never make mistakes, and the defense would be impeccable.
"In other words, is Tiandao still the strongest one?"
Takao Kazunari couldn't help but shift his gaze to the direction of Kirisaki Daiichi.
There, Tiandao was supporting his chin with the back of his hand, calmly watching the match on the court, as if he had expected it all along.
"Although it's surprising that Kagami can also enter the Zone, it's a good thing he's not Tiandao!" Imayoshi Shoichi gasped.
The side currently occupying the score advantage was their Too; as long as they could ensure Seirin couldn't score either, they would still be the ones occupying the initiative.
If the Kagami in front of them were replaced by Tiandao, that would be trouble.
However.
Just as Imayoshi Shoichi finished thinking this, Kagami Taiga pierced through Aomine's defense.
Kagami ran all the way to the free-throw line, jumped with all his might without reservation, and simultaneously raised his right arm to make a gesture of splitting Mount Hua.
"Could it be!"
The people from Too were shocked, and then they saw Kagami, meters away from the basket, smash the ball in with all his might.
"Swish!"
"Boom!"
The basketball entered the net and then hit the floor hard, rebounding.
"Tiandao's Meteor Jam?!"
"Kagami can do it too?"
It's not Tiandao's Meteor Jam; this is my move.
Alexandra Garcia felt a bit helpless hearing the audience's exclamation.
