Kuroko's Basketball template: the king of slacking off, Shohoku's strongest sixth man.

"call……"

Xian Dao let out a long breath and reached out to wipe away the sweat that was about to drip from the corner of his eye.

He turned around.

Facing the indomitable Hainan generals, and the seemingly invincible Maki Shinichi.

A smile unexpectedly appeared at the corner of his mouth once again.

This time, however, the smile lacked its usual nonchalance, replaced by a resolute and tragic air.

"It's okay."

Sendoh spoke softly, as if he were talking to himself.

"And me too."

At the free-throw line, Shinichi Maki calmly sank the shot.

72: 73.

Hainan took the lead and gained possession of the ball.

The nightmare has only just begun.

The game has restarted.

Without Uozumi, Ryonan's inside game is like a tiger with its front teeth pulled out.

Substitute center forward Sugata walked onto the field cautiously.

Faced with the relentless attacks from Takasago and Maki Shinichi, he was like a leaf swaying in a storm.

Give me the ball!

Maki Shinichi gave Ryonan no chance to breathe.

He was like a heavy tank, crushing through Ryonan's fragile defenses.

Without Uozumi's support, who can stop the rampaging Emperor Priest?

Ikegami?

No matter how good the technology, it's all just for show in the face of absolute power.

"Bang!"

Maki Shinichi pushed past the pool and charged into the restricted area.

Facing the defender Sugata, he didn't even bother with a feint; he jumped directly and forcefully knocked his opponent away in mid-air.

"beep!"

The whistle blows, and the ball goes in.

"2+1!!"

The referee's hand gesture fell mercilessly once again.

The Hainan bench erupted in cheers, with Kiyota Nobunaga waving a towel and screaming wildly.

"Amu-senpai is invincible!!"

"Completely crush them!!"

72: 75.

The penalty was made.

72: 76.

The point difference widened to 4 points.

There are 1 minutes and 50 second left.

For Ryonan, every second is a massive loss.

"Give the ball to Sendoh! Sendoh is the only one left!"

Taoka Shigeichi roared from the sidelines, his voice filled with a desperate plea.

Sendoh catches the ball.

At this point, his vision had begun to blur.

The burning sensation in his lungs made him feel like his throat was full of rust.

The side effects of Zone are relentlessly attacking my body; every muscle is screaming and going on strike.

But he can't stop.

If they stop, Ryonan will truly be over.

"bring it on."

Sendoh holds the ball, facing a double-team from Maki Shinichi and Kiyota Nobunaga.

His eyes remained calm, eerily calm.

"A mirage..."

Lin Bei, watching from the stands, glanced at the swaying figure, his eyes flickering slightly.

"An illusion that burns out in despair?"

"Sendoh Akira, let me see where your limits really are."

On the field, Sendoh made a move.

There was no acceleration, no change of direction.

The moment he was double-teamed, he suddenly slammed the ball to the ground.

"Snapped!"

The basketball bounced, but the height was extremely low.

At the same time, his body felt as if it had no bones.

Following the trajectory of the basketball's rebound, it strangely "slipped" through the gap between Maki Shinichi and Kiyota.

The ball and the player were separated?!

No, it's the ultimate drilling technique where man and ball become one!

"What?!"

Kiyota Nobunaga only felt a blur before his eyes, and the blue figure disappeared.

"Don't even think about leaving!!"

Mu Shen reacted quickly and turned to give chase.

But just as he turned around, Sendoh suddenly stopped.

He jumped directly from near the free-throw line.

The posture was not standard, and even somewhat distorted.

Because his legs no longer had the strength to support a standard jump shot.

This is a shot that relies purely on feel and willpower.

"Don't even think about it!!"

Jin Soichiro came to cover from the side, raising his long arm high to block the angle.

Just when everyone thought the ball was going to be blocked.

The immortal in the sky actually laughed.

His wrist made an incredible fold in the air.

The shooting hand shape instantly changed to a passing hand!

The basketball flew past Jin Soichiro's fingertips like a precision-guided missile, heading straight for the basket.

That place was originally deserted.

But just as the ball arrived, a figure stumbled and rushed in.

It's off-road!

This usually unremarkable role player gritted his teeth and charged desperately toward the basket.

"Catch it!!"

Yueye roared inwardly, caught the ball, jumped, and made a layup.

"Snapped!"

A large hand slammed down on the basketball.

It's Shinichi Maki!

That monster was able to instantly get back to the basket after being beaten!

despair.

Yueye watched the basketball being swatted away, feeling utterly hopeless.

"It's not over yet!!"

A sharp shout.

The basketball that was swatted away did not go out of bounds.

A slender hand forcefully intercepted the basketball's trajectory in mid-air.

Immortal Path!

The moment the pass landed, he had already sprinted towards the backboard.

He anticipated Maki Shinichi's block!

Or rather, he used that pass to move Maki Shinichi away from his defensive position, even if only for a moment!

A successful putback in mid-air!

Sendoh caught the ball in mid-air, his body already out of balance, but he still managed to gently flick the ball with his terrifying core strength.

The basketball spun around the rim.

This round felt like an eternity.

The breaths of the thousands of people in the audience stopped.

"Whoosh."

Goal!

74: 76.

Sendoh landed, his legs went weak, and he knelt on one knee on the floor.

"Huff... huff..."

He was breathing heavily, and sweat instantly soaked the floor.

But he quickly stood up again.

It sways precariously, yet resembles a solitary peak.

"Back up to defend."

He only said those two words.

The voice was soft, yet it instantly brought tears to the eyes of all the Ryonan team members.

"Sendo..."

Yueye wiped away his tears, gritted his teeth, and roared, "Back up!! Hold the line!! Don't let Xiandao's hard work go to waste!!"

"Ohhhhhh!!"

The generals of Ryonan unleashed their final roar.

Even if we lose Uozumi, even if we lose Fukuda.

As long as number 7 is still standing, the spirit of Ryonan will remain!

"They're really tenacious."

As Lin Bei watched this scene, the smile on his lips faded, replaced by an expression of recognition for the strong.

"Even though he's just an empty shell, he can still force himself to stay alive through sheer willpower."

"As expected of you, Sendoh."

Lin Bei glanced at the time.

1 minute and 10 seconds remaining.

"Unfortunately, Maki Shinichi won't go easy on you just because you're moved."

"His dictionary contains no mercy, only crushing."

really.

As Maki Shinichi looked at the tenacious Sendoh, the purple light in his eyes did not dim but burned even more intensely.

Although his physical strength had also reached its limit.

But his body, tempered by countless trials, allowed him to hold on a little longer than the immortal.

"Very good, Sendoh."

"I would be very disappointed if you just collapsed like that."

"Since you want to fight, then I'll grant your wish!"

"I'll send you on your way with the most ruthless violence!"

boom--!

Shinichi Maki has the ball again.

This time, his aura was more terrifying than ever before.

That was an emperor who had been completely freed from his shackles.

He wanted to completely destroy all of Ryonan's hopes in these last minute or so!

The final battle is now truly reaching its climax!
