It's time for the jump ball said the PE teacher signal everyone for the upcoming match that will take place.
This game will be intense, I wonder who will come out the victor said a boy. Class 2O is way stronger however class 1T has that boy who can shoot.
Everyone seem excited for this game said Takahiro. Well of course, they both crushed their opponents so it will actually be a fun game this time said Yukio. As the whistle blows and the ball was thrown up both Tetsuo and Liam jumped in the air to win the ball.
I will definitely win this ball for the team said Liam confidently as he edged closer to the ball however upon seeing Tetsuo reach he was shocked. What the… How can he reach this high, he has a way shorter reach and height than me . Wait… it can't be is he jumping over forty inches? Liam asked himself as he wins the tip off.
It was a close tip off, however, if you compare their heights and widespan it's more like that first year won it, this kid is quite intriguing said Yukio with a smile. Hayato catches the ball and prepared for an attack. Alright let's go Liam he said but as he was about to dribble Makoto stole the basketball from him.
Crap, I didn't see him said Hayato as he tried to catch however, Makoto scored a layup before he could do so.
The bastard actually has great intuition said Hayato as he smirked and was hyped up. Whoa, Kurai is great, he saw right through their play said Takahiro.
Well with the intelligence he has, figuring out Nakajima's weakness was easy. Nakajima relies too much on Liam which made his offensive plan clear to us and their team. However…. Said Yukio as Hayato passes the ball to Liam in the post area where both Tetsuo and Noboru was guarding him.
Damn this guy is strong , what the hell does he eat daily said Noboru as he struggled against Liam. If you think both of you can stop me then think again said Liam as he spins into a dunk, slamming the basketball into the rim above both Tetsuo and Noboru.That guy is awesome, he sent those two flying said a boy watching.
I'm impressed that guy actually has post moves , he is more skilled than I thought said Takahiro. If we had a player like him on the team it would help a lot with my versatility. Heck, I could even play point guard if I train him right said Yukio as he smiled excitedly.
let's get back a point said Makoto as he dribbles the basketball up the court and passes to Naomi. Naomi immediately passed to Noboru who looks around for an open person. Hey catch dude said Noboru as he passed to Shino. what should I do with the ball? Shino asked himself as his heart pounded with fear. Pass me the ball said Tetsuo as he ran towards Shino shaking off his defender.
Oh it's Kawaguchi said Shino as he passed the basketball to Tetsuo. Liam get him, don't let him shoot shouted Hayato.Tetsuo then pulls up and shoots a three pointer
Which swished and the ball bounced in the floor.
Wow , so cool, they might have a chance. That guy just swish a three pointer so cool. nice lucky shot dude commented a spectator. His three pointers are dead on Yukio. You're right , no beginner to the game can be able to do that, its takes consistency and years of practice. Looks like class 2O is in trouble with that first year said Yukio.
On the next possession Hayato dribbles the basketball up the court and passed to a teammate. Pass the ball to me shouted Hayato as he receives the ball back and shoots a midranged shot which swished.
Looks like it's on now, from here on out it's going to be a serious game I can't wait to see who wins said Yukio.
Naomi into the lane for a layup, however Liam step to mark her and with his tall build she got intimidated. Oh no he's definitely going to block this she said to herself but to her surprise he allowed her to pass him and she scored a layup.
What it actually went in said Naomi shocked. Nice shot Naomi that was amazing shouted Sachiko from the sidelines. Why didn't you block the shot Liam, are you trying to make us loose ? Asked a teammate.
I can't help it, she's a pretty Japanese girl ,don't worry , I'll get it back . Dude for a foreigner you're really weird said his teammate. Both teams were going back and forth scoring buckets after buckets. Liam dribbles to the rim and dunked the ball extending the lead. On the next possession the ball was passed to Noboru who makes a layup.
Hayato dribbles the basketball up court and scores a three pointer. Makoto scores a layup after stealing the ball from Hayato. Hayato's teammate scores a wide open layup . Naomi scores a backboard shot. Liam dribbles the basketball to the rim but was cut off by Tetsuo and Noboru so he shoots a hook shot which hits the backboard and scored.
Makoto passes the basketball to Tetsuo who scores another three pointer and immediately after Hayato responded with a three pointer of his own . Damn, these guys won't let up. To be honest if it wasn't for Kawaguchi, we would probably loss big time said Makoto. Damn, they are guarding Tetsuo tightly and the others are marked as well and he's not giving me any space to work with here Makoto said to himself.
Wait Katsuragi is open said Makoto as he passes the ball to Shino who was breathing heavily due to fatigue and was not focused. Shino the ball!! Catch the ball said Noboru, but by the time Shino could react the ball went out of bounds. Out of bounds, class 2O's ball.
This is all my fault, we are going to loose because of me said Shino with teary eyes. Don't worry about it, there's still thirty seconds left and the game is tied up , let's get back on defense .
Hayato dribbles the ball up the court preparing to win the game however Makoto stepped to guard him. His dribble rhythm has changed, what is he thinking? Makoto asked himself. Hayato then goes up for a shot. I won't allow you said Makoto as he attempts to block. What the hell, it's a fake said Makoto as Hayato shoots the ball.
What the hell is he doing that shot is way off said Makoto but he was surprised when he saw that Liam catched the ball in mid-air and slams it into the rim taking the lead. An alley-oop , what a dunk!!! That guy was literally flying. I'm so sorry first years , you put up a good fight that's for sure but today the victory is ours said Hayato respecting them.
I guess the game is over said Takahiro. Very unlikely, there is still eight seconds remaining, where do you think that first year is? Asked Yukio. what do you mean , what the... He's already on the move said Takahiro surprised by this. Makoto then makes a long pass and Tetsuo caught the ball.
oh no, they caught us off guard, Liam stop him!! Shouted Hayato in which Liam responded by running back on defense and catching up to Tetsuo. I won't let you pass me said Liam towering over Tetsuo. Tetsuo then steps back and shoots a three pointer and Liam tries to block however Tetsuo's release was too fast and the separation made it even harder to block him.
it is perfectly clear now , that first year is a rare player to come by and he will become our one way ticket to the inter high this year Yukio said to himself as the whistle blows marking the end of the game and immediately after the ball swishes.
Game over, class 1T wins everything said the PE teacher. Whoa, he was so calm under so much pressure. What's that guy's name? This guy single handedly beat both me and Hayato, I can't believe it. Well that's what makes basketball so interesting said Liam.
I can't believe it, we actually won said Naomi as she jumped and celebrated. Well , I didn't doubt it for a second, nice shot Kawaguchi said Noboru as he jumped on Tetsuo. This guy is the real deal, a genuine basketball player with the talent of shooting threes , he is somewhat amazing said Makoto to himself.
We won , I should be happy but… I did nothing at all to help them, I was only a burden. Why am I so useless and hopeless no matter how much time I devote to basketball said Shino in a depressing tone.
Hey, is everything alright, Katsuragi? Asked Makoto. O..oh yes I'm fine . Takahiro, we definitely need to recruit that guy on our team said Yukio. Easier said than done, I mean if he was interested in the first place he would have came to the court yesterday said Takahiro.
