Adam Blake was already being very cautious. But when he saw Tendou's demonic ball-touch speed, he was still greatly startled. He felt that, let alone himself, even if the tough defenders from the Premier League were here, probably few would be confident enough to defend against this kid one-on-one. This discovery shocked Adam Blake immensely.
How old is he? And he already has this kind of strength.
Isn't one Loki enough? Now there's a second one?
Without time to think more, the Premier League's top scorer quickly closed in on Tendou.
Tap tap tap tap~
Four touches in an instant, and at the same time, four attacking movements. Adam Blake only saw Tendou's body sway for a moment, and in the blink of an eye, his own center of gravity was thrown off.
One wave had not yet settled when another rose. Loki quickly filled the position, rushing up at a heaven-defying speed.
Seeing Loki recklessly pouncing, Tendou immediately turned and gave the European prodigy his steel-like back.
BAM!
The two of them collided heavily. Loki was not sent flying as easily as the young men in Blue Lock, but he was indeed pushed back quite a bit, his chest feeling tight.
Adam Blake took the opportunity to close in, joining forces with Loki to surround and annihilate Tendou.
However.
Just as Blake came over, Tendou simultaneously flicked the ball with his right heel. The ball went through Loki's legs to the trailing Karasu in the center.
The Crow-bro, after receiving the ball, made no extra moves but passed the ball back to Tendou. He had already accepted reality. This level of contest was not something he could participate in at his current level. They could only do what they could, to give Tendou as much help and support as possible.
In that instant, Tendou, Loki, and Adam all chased after the ball at the same time, like three fierce beasts, scrambling to pounce on their prey.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
The two "speedsters," Tendou and Loki, sprinted at full power. Their speed was so fast that even the Premier League's top scorer, Adam, was left behind.
"Mine!"
Loki was the first to charge to the front.
But who would have known.
BAM!
Tendou, in the middle of his sprint, savagely extended his arm, continuing to bully Loki with his superior power. The European prodigy hurriedly and forcefully his hand away but was still beaten to the ball by Tendou.
Seeing this situation, the Brazilian wolf was also forced to come over. This player, whose prototype was suspected to be Casemiro, had defensive abilities that were even above Loki's and Adam's. But they had clearly not prepared anything for this match, thinking that they could just score one goal each, get the money, and run.
The five of them had done this in their previous matches, playing however they wanted, relying entirely on individual ability and experience. After all, when playing against a group of amateur kids, what was there to prepare for? If they hadn't encountered a monster like Tendou, they would probably have already finished the match and gone back to rest.
Tendou's Six Eyes had foreseen all of this. Without any hesitation, he directly kicked the ball out. He wasn't very confident in breaking through the encirclement formed by three pros. They were forwards, true, but their individual ability was there for all to see.
BAM!
The ball, almost hugging the ground, drew a strange "banana" curve, once again reaching the trailing Chigiri on the left wing.
The "young lady" received the ball on the left side of the penalty area and then cut inside to the 44-degree angle and shot directly. He had failed to score the last time; this time, he was determined to put it in.
"44-degree Snipe!"
BAM!
The ball was like an arrow released from a bow, rapidly crashing towards the far corner of the goal.
But then.
Luna seemed to have seen through their tactics long ago. He had tracked back to the penalty area in advance. Seeing Chigiri's shot, he leaped, and in mid-air, extended his foot to block the ball.
This time, Tendou had no opportunity to pick up the scraps. Loki and Adam were still sticking tightly to him.
'It's over! They're going to mark Tendou to death!'
'Nonsense. On their team, only Tendou can compete with the pros. Of course they have to mark him to death.'
'Crow, Eita, Reo, Chigiri, do something!'
'Why do I feel like they're about to be overturned?'
'The skill gap is too big. Is this what a pro is like?'
The bullet-comment masters had already started to cry out. They were clearly in the lead, but it felt more anxious than being behind.
Possession changed. The World All-Star Team immediately launched a counter-attack, the speed unexpectedly fast, like lightning.
There was another gap between amateur and professional matches that could not be bridged. That was the extremely fast pace of a professional match. Loki and Adam, who had been sticking tightly to Tendou, immediately turned and ran the moment Luna won the ball back. By the time Karasu and the others reacted, Tendou was already running past the halfway line with the two of them.
The difference in tactical literacy was too great.
In the blink of an eye, Tendou and the four members of the World All-Star Team had already arrived in their own territory. And at this moment, Karasu and the others were still nearly twenty meters away from the penalty area. They could only watch helplessly as Tendou, like a headless fly, constantly chased the ball, being led around by the four opponents like a dog.
...
On the right side of the penalty area, Cavasoz received the ball and cut inside. While moving at high speed, his pupils, like marbles, were jumping irregularly in his eye sockets. Seeing Tendou charge over, he immediately made a horizontal pass.
Tendou had foreseen his intention in advance and immediately closed in on Loki's position.
But.
Loki was no fool. He instinctively calculated the distance between himself and Tendou. In the end, he found that if he were to trap the ball and then shoot, he would most likely be closed down.
Since that was the case.
FWOOSH!
Two balls of fire also erupted from the corners of his eyes. This was proof of stepping into the realm of Flow.
He had no intention of trapping the ball, and he wasn't even in his shooting range yet. Loki's body suddenly fell to the ground, his right arm raised and extended backward, his right foot fiercely kicking at the ball.
BAM!
The ball directly crossed the goal line and crashed into the goal. This was Mbappé's signature "lying shot."
"GOAL!!"
The ball is in again!
The score was 2:2. The World All-Star Team had tied the score in a flash.
And at this time, Karasu and the others had only just arrived on the battlefield. This made them feel dejected. They could only listen as Loki, after scoring, immediately found Tendou and said, "See that? I told you my next shot would definitely go in!"
Damn it!
The "young lady" was furious. If he hadn't failed to score, if he could have run just a little faster, why would Tendou have to suffer this kind of grievance?
It's all my fault!
He simply hated his own powerlessness. The speed he was once so proud of... now it couldn't help him at all.
Tendou couldn't be bothered with the turtle, just held up two fingers in response. The meaning: I've scored two goals, you've only scored two.
He was originally in a very gloomy mood, but then he found that his popularity points were soaring. He opened the bullet comments and saw that it was because the audience was moved by his tragic, one-man-army struggle. In the words of a CSGO player, this was a typical case of "one red carrying four greens"; it would be a ghost if they could win.
"We... can't win at all," Reo said, a little disheartened. At this moment, he had even forgotten his beloved Nagi, only facing this group of teammates who were like lambs to the slaughter.
Hearing this, Tendou did not go with the flow to paint himself in an even more tragic light. Instead, he stared at Reo as if angry and rebuked him, "Can't win at all? I don't understand those words!"
"Think about those pitiful worms we personally swept out the door! If we give up now, what will they do?!"
"All of you, wake up! They've only tied the score! We haven't lost yet!"
Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap~
Thunderous applause instantly broke out in the live stream room. At this moment, Tendou's body was as majestic as it could be. These were lines that the other lunatics in Blue Lock could never say. This show had always had this kind of cynical tone. But Tendou had gone against the grain, taking the "royal road" hot-blooded route. A sudden outburst like this directly ignited the audience's passion.
Greatness needs no words!
