Chapter 81

The only one who could call him that was that big kid, Murasakibara.

"What's wrong?"

"You need to calm down..."

Do you even hear yourself?

Tiandao Jingyan chuckled, "Got it. Just watch, I'll go vent for you."

"Hey, Tiandao, don't do anything reckless!"

"Don't worry, Captain, things won't turn out the way you're imagining."

Tiandao Jingyan knew exactly what Nijimura Shuzo was worried about.

It was nothing more than the fear that he would get into a fight with the opponent. After all, ever since he, Lord Tiandao, had debuted, he had never suffered a loss; he always repaid grudges on the spot.

The match continued.

Teikou's ball possession, the score was 8:8!

Nijimura Shuzo took the inbound pass and dribbled the ball across the half-court himself.

He wanted to teach the kids on the team how to deal with this type of opponent.

One had to be good at using their brain and eyes. But Tiandao had a simpler and more effective method.

Before Nijimura Shuzo could even make a move, he saw Tiandao Jingyan actively reaching out to ask for the ball.

"What is this kid up to?" Nijimura Shuzo was puzzled, but after a moment of thought, he passed the ball over, "Let's see what you want to do."

The ball arrived in Tiandao Jingyan's hands.

Seeing this, the Musashino players immediately stepped up to apply oppressive defense on him.

"If I were you, I'd hand the ball to Nijimura to handle."

Before Tiandao Jingyan could make his next move, the opponent spoke first.

"Don't act like you can actually stop me."

"You can try."

The opponent's expression was calm, making it impossible to read his inner thoughts.

Tiandao Jingyan recognized him, because if Musashino wanted to advance from the group stage, they had to cross the mountain that was Teikou.

Therefore, they were extremely familiar with every player on Teikou.

Tiandao Jingyan, who had put on stellar performances in the previous few matches, was their primary focus.

The Musashino players had to admit that in terms of talent, not one of them could be mentioned in the same breath as Tiandao Jingyan.

After all, they were never a team composed of a group of young talents from the start.

They were just ordinary people, or rather, ordinary players.

For them, to compete against geniuses, they had to abandon flair and turn into beasts to tear into the opponent.

This was what their head coach told them; from the very first day they joined the club, he made them understand that if they wanted to survive in the cruel environment of the National Tournament,

they had to recognize exactly what kind of players they were!

Tiandao didn't know that the opponent had gone through a flashback in such a short time.

But even if he did, he wouldn't care.

Adjusting his breathing, lowering his center of gravity, accelerating his dribbling frequency, and then...

With a "whoosh," he exploded without any warning, accelerating and charging past the opponent's right side.

Tanaka Goro marveled at the strength of Tiandao's explosive power while quickly reaching out toward Tiandao's jersey.

This was their way of countering a genius!

Using foul tactics that others would find shameful to make up for the lack of talent.

To them, genius meant unfairness, and wanting fairness meant having to use any means necessary!

Close!

His hand was about to touch Tiandao's jersey, and the angle was excellent, right in the referee's blind spot.

"Got him!"

*Slap! *

"Nani?!"

Tanaka Goro's pupils suddenly dilated rapidly.

At the moment he was about to touch Tiandao's jersey, his arm felt as if it had been slashed by someone with a bamboo sword.

He shook his hand, but couldn't see anything.

Only Tiandao Jingyan, like a hunting leopard, brushed past him.

"Swish!" ===== CHAPTER 83 =====
