no one knew what his words meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>They only knew that the moment Seihō's collapse was about to be completed, he swung his right arm and hurled the ball out at extreme speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>With a \"whoosh,\" the basketball turned into a streak of light, weaving through Seihō's dense defense and forcibly tearing a hole in their iron-wall defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Murasakibara in the paint didn't even know what had happened; he just felt something flying toward him and instinctively opened his hands to catch the ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It was a ball!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Looking around, he realized there wasn't a single defender near him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Bang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he turned, jumped, and delivered a two-handed slam dunk.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"..........\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The arena was silent; everyone, from Teikō to Seihō, was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Is this... the true face of Tendō?\" Shirogane Gōzō widened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In a trance, he actually saw a terrifying monster burning with black flames behind Tendō Keien.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>That ferocious expression formed a sharp contrast with Tendō's impossibly handsome appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Like a god and a demon!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Like Shirogane Gōzō, Akashi and the others also saw the monster in that instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The intense visual impact brought them huge shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this moment, in their eyes, the court seemed to be surrounded and burned by black flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Only Tendō Keien and that monster stood at the center.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Is this... the true face of Tendō?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Shirogane Gōzō was shocked in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In all his years of coaching, this was the first time he had encountered such a player.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"No, Tendō's speed and other aspects haven't improved; the only thing that has improved is...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sense of smell?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Could it be wildness?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>An old hand like Shirogane Gōzō naturally knew that there was an invisible talent hidden within the human body.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A biological instinct known as \"wildness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This talent could greatly enhance a player's instincts, making their movements sharper.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Depending on the type of wildness, the ability boost it brought to a player varied.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Reaction, speed, strength, body coordination, and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Shirogane Gōzō quickly shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>What was coiled around Tendō at this moment was not wildness; it was something he had never seen before.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"It's more like an extreme manifestation of basketball IQ!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Tendō's two offensive moves just now were almost identical, and the rate of speed had no abnormalities.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yet, on his second attack, he pierced through Tsugawa Tomoki's defense with extreme ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It felt as if he had already seen through the opponent's moves, and his brain had issued commands to his body in time after calculating.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>No!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It wasn't the result of calculation!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Breaking through Tsugawa Tomoki's defense could be explained by anticipation, but the pass that tore through Seihō's entire defensive line afterward was absolutely a stroke of genius.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>That was not something anticipation could explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It was more like a timely reaction made after observation, using a transcendent basketball IQ to dismantle the opponent's defensive formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>No need for calculation; by observing the opponent's positioning and movements, he naturally read their defensive intentions.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Plus that pass, confident to the point of being unreserved...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Unstoppable!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this moment, Shirogane Gōzō couldn't imagine how to stop Tendō's offensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As long as his teammates could keep up with his rhythm, he could truly pierce through Seihō, known for its iron-wall defense, all by himself!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Thinking of this, he shouted directly to the players on the court, \"Give the ball to Tendō, everyone else be ready to receive the ball at any time!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>With such terrifying basketball IQ, why the hell play off-ball!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Of course, leave all the ball handling to Tendō!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>'Something's wrong, brothers, this show is starting to get weird!'\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>'I knew it last week; after Haizaki appeared, this show started heading in the direction of superpowers.'\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>'Perverted, this is taking on an entire team's defense alone!'\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>'Is this really something a human can do?'\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>'Don't make a fuss, many people can do it; as long as there is systematic practice and tactical coordination, running to an open spot and passing the ball, isn't it easy?'\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>'Quick, go to Gotham and tell Batman I found the Joker, he's upstairs!'\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The silly netizens started their daily routine again.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, this kind of thing is something real-life players can actually do.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>For example, Tendō's idol, the 40-year-old rookie James, always manages to deliver assists on the court that pierce through enemy defenses like a stroke of genius.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This is a necessity for becoming a primary ball-handling core.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Why are primary ball-handling cores so precious in the league later on?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Players with high basketball IQ are too hard to find.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In the NBA, geniuses with well-developed limbs are everywhere; you can find a bunch just by pointing at the draft.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But finding a player with both well-developed limbs and outstanding basketball IQ is too difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>People say James's talent is historical-level, and they aren't joking.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Besides having a monster-level body, this guy also possesses the league's strongest brain.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This is the reason he can still score 40+ consecutively after the age of 40.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In this regard, Jordan and Kobe have to bow down.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Of course, Jordan and Kobe aren't that type of player; they are the best finishers, and their task isn't to help teammates score, but to end the game with their own scoring.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>There is no distinction between high and low; winning is the hard truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>On the court, Tendō's performance wasn't over yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Returning to the defensive end, the monster continued to exert force.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Since Tsugawa Tomoki was a player with almost no offensive ability, Tendō could almost ignore him when defending him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Stay calm, we'll pay them back immediately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Kasuga Ryūhei dribbled to the half-court, directing the team's offense.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>That first-year's performance was indeed surprising, but not enough to leave them, Seihō, helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>What they needed to deal with first was the team's offense.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Tsugawa Tomoki's strengths and weaknesses were very obvious: outstanding defense, but too weak offensive ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Teikō seemed to have known this for a long time, and that freak named Tendō treated Tsugawa like air.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this moment, the defensive pressure Teikō was giving them was huge.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"We have to play hard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1097,"2026-06-17T07:29:39.005Z","2026-06-17T09:02:19.189Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","84a636621941f6beb4b9b5defcee823ab4b3024ae7df50351ddd83c731805dd8","the-popular-character-in-kuroko-s-basketball-chapter-56","the-popular-character-in-kuroko-s-basketball-chapter-54",256,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-popular-character-in-kuroko-s-basketball-cover.jpg"]
