"This monster really does have eyes that can see the future." On the sidelines, Imayoshi Shoichi had some premonition, but when it actually happened, he was still startled. Such fearsome talent appearing one after another was a terrifying thing.

If even Imayoshi felt this way, the shock of others could be easily imagined. Especially when seeing Akashi defeated one-on-one by Nash, some people had already stood up.

But immediately, their despair turned into wild joy.

"Intercepted!"

"It's Tendou!"

"Imayoshi's spider web defense!"

Everything happened so fast that Takao and Midorima couldn't help but shout excitedly.

"What do you mean 'my spider web defense'? These two guys are far more impressive than me." Imayoshi wouldn't dare compare himself to Tendou and the others.

Both Tendou and Akashi were beings who could see the future of the entire court. If Imayoshi's 100% steal rate still required coordination from the equally intelligent Seto Kentaro and advance setup, then Tendou and Akashi needed no setup or coordination - they just had to act based on what they saw.

"Moreover, even if Akashi isn't Nash's match in a one-on-one, there's no one in this world who can easily ignore Tendou's defense."

"In other words, when Nash goes to great lengths to break through Akashi's defense, he has no energy left to worry about Tendou's presence. As long as Nash chooses to pass, Tendou's steal success rate is 100%!"

As he spoke, Tendou had already charged across half court with the ball.

Shit! The Evil Dragons cursed under their breath and chased after him.

Nash was the fastest, closest to Tendou's position, and could also see Tendou's movements. He killed from behind, crossing the three-point line right after Tendou.

"Tell me, Nash, who's the monkey?"

"Hmph!" Just as Tendou finished speaking, without giving Nash time to respond, the basketball in his hands suddenly went berserk.

Unlike Aomine's extremely complex street basketball, this was the most orthodox, most utilitarian breakthrough that pursued only victory.

When had Nash ever seen such fast breakthrough moves? Even with the Demon Eye's assistance, he couldn't stop it. Because Tendou's Six Eyes could also see the future.

At this point, Nash was no longer surprised that Tendou possessed eyes similar to his own. Akashi's initial premonition had come true, and the second person he sensed - Tendou - was no accident either.

But he wasn't afraid of confronting Tendou. As he had just said, in a one-on-one between two people with the same eyes, victory depended on the players' overall level.

Nash was confident he wouldn't lose to some comedian.

However, the result was that he found himself completely unable to keep up with Tendou's pace.

"He's past him!"

"Tendou!"

"Go for it!"

Takao and Midorima had stood up and never sat back down. Seeing Tendou step past Nash, they cheered wildly.

Nash continued his pursuit but had already lost the initiative. He barely managed to jump up alongside him, providing very limited interference.

"Bang!" From the side view, Tendou looked like he was hanging on Nash as he dunked the ball into the rim.

In fact, Nash hadn't committed a foul - he had just provided enough physical contact in the air, attempting to disrupt Tendou's shooting rhythm.

But Tendou's physical contact resistance was the second strongest among the Generation of Miracles, sometimes even able to compete with Murasakibara on equal terms.

Nash's height and weight reached 190cm and 82kg respectively, very close to Tendou in all aspects - definitely a typical example of exceptional talent.

Unfortunately, all of Tendou's stats were maxed at 99, plus he had the Six Eyes' perfect body control. A 99-point contested layup meant that physical contact at the same level could hardly affect him.

"Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce~" The basketball kept bouncing on the ground.

The gap had reached 7 points. Not only had the Evil Dragons failed to take the lead, but Dragon Slayer Sword was pulling away with the score.

"Tch!" Nash's expression was so dark it could drip water. However, he wasn't panicking or getting anxious. At least the current situation hadn't escaped his control.

...

The Evil Dragons continued their offense. This time, Nash was much more cautious and didn't pass blindly.

The moment Akashi stepped forward to steal, he quickly pulled back, wrapping the ball behind his back and secretly slipping it into the paint.

"He got it through!?"

"Could it be that even Akashi and Tendou can't stop him?"

"No, that kind of pass isn't a perfect no-signal pass - the pass quality was much lower!"

The quality of that pass was indeed low. So low that Jason Silver had to move to catch the ball, unable to complete an immediate attack on the rim.

"But Silver alone is enough to crush you monkeys." Nash didn't need to pursue pass quality, because just getting the ball safely to Jason Silver was enough to defeat the opponents.

"That's not necessarily true." The moment Tendou turned his head, the two big bodies of Jason Silver and Murasakibara had already collided in the paint.

"Bang!" Two giants over 2 meters tall and weighing over 100kg crashed together like two mountains colliding.

Murasakibara pressed both hands against Jason Silver's broad back, his feet firmly planted on the floor, struggling to push Jason Silver outside the paint area.

Jason Silver could keenly feel that the kid behind him had become much harder to move. Fortunately, he was a flexible big man.

Seeing that force wouldn't work, Jason Silver used his left foot as a pivot point and twisted hard. With a quick spin move, he got past Murasakibara and completed the dunk.

"Boom!" The ball went in. Jason Silver transformed into an inside beast, wreaking havoc under the basket with no one able to stop him.

Murasakibara was dissatisfied, mumbling, "That's not right, I should be lower."

He still wasn't used to using his brain. The inside techniques he had clearly mastered last year had been thrown to the back of his mind after just one year.

But there was no need to worry - he hadn't truly forgotten. That knowledge was carved into his body and mind. He just needed some time, and Murasakibara would be able to retrieve it all.

"Why can things that were clearly mastered still be forgotten in the end?"

"Murasakibara, do you actually train regularly?" Even Kagami couldn't help but complain.

This Generation of Miracles member was good at everything, just too lazy.

"You're so annoying. Just stand there and watch quietly." Murasakibara glared at him. He was rarely thinking seriously and hated being interrupted at times like this.

"Just follow your instincts, Atsushi."

"Those things are all hidden in your body. More importantly, no one can stop me from scoring, so you have plenty of time to experiment."

Hearing Tendou say this, Murasakibara suddenly felt much more relaxed. This was the confidence Tendou gave him!

Unlike that double-eyebrows from Seirin who contributed nothing and just knew how to run his mouth.

Tendou continued, "If you can't hold up, go rest on the bench. Those guys on the bench are getting impatient."

Aomine and Kise were both capable of perfectly filling the position. As for Kuroko... Well, Tendou wasn't planning to play inside this game.

If Kuroko came on, he would definitely disrupt the team's offensive and defensive balance. Nash was a victory-oriented player who wouldn't ignore such a massive defensive liability.

As for the offensive end, the team didn't need Kuroko either - their current efficiency was quite outstanding.
