Actually, it wasn't just Aida Kagetora - many old-generation players could feel that Tendou was learning and adapting to Nash's playing style.
This made their movements look faster and faster, with their confrontation becoming increasingly intense.
Nash felt this most deeply. He actually had the illusion that he wasn't playing in Japan right now, but rather playing in America.
What Nash found most excessive was that Tendou could really keep up with his pace.
If this continued, he would really become this bastard's whetstone! How could he let such a thing happen?
"Get lost!" Not wanting to lose the game, Nash could only accelerate his offensive again. He had to elevate the pace to a level Tendou couldn't keep up with.
After all, he was a speed-type player - using speed and pace to crush opponents was his specialty.
"Who wants to do that kind of thing?"
"What I'm best at is not listening!"
Tendou suddenly stepped forward, his body moving laterally while his eyes became sharp as a hawk's. He whispered in his heart:
"Domain Expansion!"
"Unlimited Void!"
Hum~ An invisible wave rapidly spread from his body, sweeping over Nash who was in mid-motion.
Almost simultaneously, Nash's brain began spinning uncontrollably and frantically. His brain kept thinking, kept choosing, and kept rejecting.
However, this situation didn't continue for long. Soon Nash's brain found the correct path and quickly issued commands to his body.
This process didn't even take a second - it was completed in the space of a breath.
However, it was this less-than-one-second window that Tendou seized.
"Intercept!"
Tendou's right arm flashed out like lightning, striking forcefully.
"Smack!"
Under the dumbfounded gaze of all the Evil Dragons, Nash had completely gotten past Tendou, but the ball was left behind.
A gap of a few tenths of a second could sometimes determine victory or defeat. The higher the level of confrontation, the more apparent this gap became.
"He broke free from Tendou's Unlimited Void so quickly!" Akashi saw it clearly - Nash's movement had suddenly showed a moment of stagnation.
He had obviously been hit by Unlimited Void's massive data impact. But this process had lasted less than a second.
This was something no Generation of Miracles member could do. This meant Tendou was a player on Nash's level - they were once teammates of the same grade, but now they had far surpassed them.
But Alex Garcia, who was watching the game, was very shocked. She had already returned to America from Japan and was currently in a high school basketball department office, recommending her student Kagami Taiga to a coach.
She was very clear that if Kagami wanted to continue improving, he couldn't stay in Japan. Returning to America to play basketball would better develop his talent.
Not long ago, Alex had sent Kagami's game footage to the coach, who had also expressed great interest.
It just so happened that today there was a game against the Evil Dragons, so Alex watched it together with the coach.
However, the coach's attention was completely not on her student Kagami Taiga, but was entirely attracted by Tendou.
He looked at Tendou on the computer screen as if looking at a precious jade.
"He's amazing!"
"This is exactly the player we need, Alex!"
A high school sophomore who could fight Nash to this extent - this was definitely a genius, conservatively a five-star high school player.
Next year's team performance was guaranteed!
The latter felt a bit awkward - the person she was recommending was still on the bench, yet the coach had taken a fancy to someone else.
...
"Damn!" On court, Nash cursed under his breath and turned to chase after him.
After Tendou stole Nash's ball, he charged ahead at the front. The two successively crossed the center line, then stepped over the three-point line.
Unlimited Void activated again, and endless data torrents flooded Nash's brain.
Nash finally understood that what happened earlier wasn't an accident, but the doing of this person's ability in front of him. He was implanting massive amounts of information in his brain.
How the opponent did it, Nash had no time to think about. At this moment, he could only think of his experiences playing in America.
Grueling training, endless emerging geniuses, cruel battlefields!
Finally, he transformed all of this into a roar: "Do you think I know how many cruel battlefields I've experienced?!"
This roar directly shattered the data impact of Unlimited Void, and he broke free...
"Cruel battlefields?"
"In the end, you only experienced them but never conquered them."
"And I will complete everything you failed to do tonight."
Tendou didn't take Nash breaking free from Unlimited Void to heart at all. In the end, the Six Eyes, Unlimited Void, and all these abilities were just auxiliary means.
What ultimately determined victory or defeat was the player using them.
"Lightning Speed!"
"Five-hit combo!"
Tendou instantly executed five movements with terrifying extreme speed that made hearts race.
Nash's eyes locked deadly onto Tendou, not missing any of his movements, trying to find a way to stop Tendou from the future.
But what shocked him was...
"Crack!" Accompanied by the sound of shattering glass, the future he saw in his eyes suddenly crumbled.
"He broke the future?!" Nash's pupils trembled - this had never happened before.
However, he had indeed been through countless battles and immediately snapped back to his senses. He saw Tendou and that black monster simultaneously charging toward his left and right sides.
He immediately moved laterally to the right, and the next second, Tendou's figure suddenly appeared on his left side.
"No way!" Nash quickly struck out, extending his left arm to intercept.
However, his outstretched hand ultimately passed right through Tendou's body.
An illusion? Not quite - Tendou had once again circled to his right side. This was why the future had shattered.
Now no matter how he chose, it would be wrong. The shattering of the future meant his defeat.
Nash gritted his teeth hard, unwilling to believe it, stubbornly twisting his body to intercept.
But then he saw a black monster appear behind him, its cracked mouth seemingly mocking his overreach.
"Swoosh!" Tendou completed his fourth direction change, and his fifth movement was the fatal blow to Nash.
He lowered his head and charged forward like lightning, crashing into the paint.
"Thud!" At this moment, Nash's body tilted uncontrollably. Unable to see through the future and barely able to move his body, he fell hard to the ground.
"Boom!"
