Chapter 13 - A MIRACULOUS COMEBACK: TOSHIGAWA'S NUMBER ELEVEN IS UNSTOPPABLE

(everyone breathes heavily)

Noboru: god dammit

Takahiro: these guys are the real deal

(Hayato breathes heavily)

(Shino): I'm so useless , I can't even help the team when they are in need, we are going to loose and its all my fault

Yukio: the game is not over, it's just the first quarter and as long as there is time left , we still have a chance, so wipe that sad look off your faces and concentrate, we can do this!

Hayato: who said that I gave up, I'm just getting started

Takahiro: Yukio….

Noboru: it's so frustrating to be spending so much energy just to make a turnover, you guys are holding me back , you better have some grand plan Fukazawa

Nanaho: well I wouldn't say it is but, it will definitely work

(Kogure): I guess Yukio was just bluffing, besides him and number four the others seem to either be too basic or has zero experience. This team stands no chance at making it to the inter high

Nanaho: does everyone get that

Noboru: um, I don't really get what I'm supposed to do

Nanaho: just run to their basket

Noboru: okay I'll just do that

Nanaho: We have seven minutes left in the first quarter let's make it count

Everyone: yes

Nanaho: Tetsuo, you are in, Shino sit right here

Shino: yes

(Shino holds his head down )

Nanaho: don't be discouraged, you just recently started understanding and learning the game, you did well so far, watch the game and try to learn something

(Shino): yes

(Haruko): they are down by fourteen points now, I believe that Tetsuo will be able to close the gap between the score

Yokonan's coach: good work everyone, keep that same formation and score more points

(Everyone on Yokonan's team): yes

Tetsuo: Yukio you should inbound the ball

Yukio: yes

(Yokonan high school starts pressuring them again )

Yukio: alright, break!!

(Noboru and Takahiro sprints down the court)

???: yes

(Tetsuo sets a screen for Hayato)

(Eiji): I let my guard down

( Hayato frees himself up)

(Yukio inbounds the basketball to Hayato)

(Tetsuo starts running)

(Hayato gives Tetsuo a long pass)

(Haruko): he caught it

(Tetsuo shoots a three pointer)

Eiji: Ryuu grab the rebound

Ryuu: yeah, yeah I know

( Ryuu Screens out Takahiro from the basket)

(Takahiro): god dammit

Ryuu: there's no way that you can out rebound me so just…

(swish)

(Yukio): he did it

Hayato: great work Tetsuo, now we only need five more of those

???: hey great shot number eleven

(Nanaho): having Tetsuo on the court makes it easier for us to bring over the basketball to the other half of the court. He can handle pressure which is quite surprising since it's his first game

(Haruko): they finally scored more points

Eiji: let's go score some more points

(Eiji passes the ball to Manabu)

(Manabu fakes the basketball)

(Manabu shoots)

(Tetsuo blocks the ball)

( Manabu): what the hell, he was so far away, and how can he jump so high

Eiji: Manabu quit spacing out and get back on defense

Manabu: yes

(Tetsuo drives to the rim)

(Ryuu cut him off)

(Tetsuo steps back and shoot a three)

(Swish)

???: whoa, another one again

Nanaho: nice one

Haruko: nice shoot Tetsuo- senpai

(Haruko):wait did I just called him by his first name out loud , oops

(Manabu): that guy is not just any normal player, he took the ball out of the air like it was nothing then scored two consecutive threes.

Eiji: Manabu the ball

Manabu: huh! Crap

(Tetsuo steals the ball from Manabu)

(Manabu): I messed up

(Tetsuo drives to the hoop)

(Eiji marks him)

(Tetsuo passes the ball to Hayato)

(Hayato shoots a two pointer)

(Swoosh)

Hayato: It went in

Yukio: get back on defense

Everyone: yes

Kayano: as soon as that number 11 came on the game seems to be changing in Toshigawa's favor .

Kogure: yes, he seems like one of their good players, looks like their coach was saving him for this exact moment.

(Eiji dribbles the basketball up court)

(Manabu sets a screen for Eiji)

(Eiji passes the basketball to Ryuu)

(Ryuu goes of for a post shot)

Kayano: I can't believe it, Manabu can't shake him off

Yokonan's coach: I didn't know that Toshigawa had such a player, I don't recognize him, what junior high school is he from?

Kayano: I'm not sure coach, it's the first time I'm seeing him as well

Ryuu: Manabu pass me the ball!

(Manabu): no I won't , I was never forced to pass the ball before by a player and Its not going to start now

(Manabu goes up for a three pointer)

(Tetsuo blocks him)

Eiji: get back on defense

(Manabu): no way, it can't be… I can't get past this guy

(Eiji): no you don't

(Tetsuo fakes )

(Eiji jumps)

Eiji: what the…

(Tetsuo jumps into Eiji and shoots a three pointer)

(Whistle blows)

(Swish)

???: whoa, they caught up

???: that number 11 is amazing

Noboru: hell yeah , that's the way Tetsuo
