Let's win this Tetsuo, I'm sorry that I gave up back there and thanks for waking me up said Hayato as he fixed his headband once more. I don't want anyone to slack off on defense, work hard and let's stop Yokonan!! Shouted Yukio and everyone who was now pumped up shouted "yes"!!
I wonder what Kogure was talking to that guy about, he doesn't normally just walk up to anyone like that, only if he knows them and personally respects them, who is this guy? Aoi asked herself.
You can do it Tetsuo, I believe in you said Haruko as she clenched her fist. Alright, this is it, it's time for you to show Yokonan that Toshigawa has grit. There is nothing more I can do with my strategy and planning. Its up to all of you now to fight until the sound of the final whistle said Nanaho to herself.
As the game resumes Kayano passes the basketball to Kogure who scores a layup. On the next possession Hayato passes to Takahiro and he shoots a two pointer that swishes. Nice one Takahiro said Yukio as he ran back on defense.
After receiving the ball off of an inbound, Kayano dribbles between his legs and got by Hayato. He then passes to Ryuu who scores a layup over Takahiro. Tetsuo dribbles the ball to the other side of the court where Manabu steps to guard him.
Stand down Manabu, this one is mine, hate to break it to you but you're no match for him now said Kogure as he pushed Manabu out of the way to guard Tetsuo. No way, did Kogure of all person say I'm not good enough
said Manabu to himself shocked.
Kogure looks happy, that's not a look you see from him too often . He's definitely having fun said coach Arimoto to himself. Tetsuo crosses through his legs however as if he knew his movements Kogure reacts and stays in front of him. Tetsuo quickly spins to try and get Kogure off him however Kogure reacts again and stays in front of him.
Takahiro sensing this sets a screen for Tetsuo who utilizes it and steps back to shoot a three. Kogure who was quick on his feet evaded the screen and attempted to block the ball however he was not able to do so.
I see , the release on that one was slightly faster said Kogure as the ball swishes.
Whoa, I can't believe it, Kogure is having a hard time guarding that number eleven , he must be really good for that to happen said a student watching the game. Something feels weird about this match it's like I've seen this before, it somehow feels like this is not the first that those two clashed , why is this feeling so familiar said Aoi to herself as she touches her chest.
After receiving a pass from Kayano, Kogure spins off Yukio and then dunks the basketball. Nice one Kogure, that was amazing shouted a girl. Noboru catch!! Shouted Hayato as he immediately inbounded ball to return the favor. Right, I got it said Noboru as he took two steps and attempted to layup the ball.
No you don't Manabu said to himself as he attempted to block but ends up hitting Noboru in his face. Gah!! Screamed Noboru and he fell to the ground. As the whistle blows the ball scored with a swish. Pushing foul, white number five said the ref of the practice match.
God dammit said Manabu to himself upset.
How dare you hit me in my face you son of a bit.. Noboru calm down, you scored so it's all good. Oh you're right Captain, I did score. Finally, I have more points than that amateur Shino said Noboru to himself relieved. Now all you have to do is score the free throw said Yukio.
Free throw, but I suck at those said Noboru.
Oh right, I didn't teach him how to shoot free throws , that was dumb said Nanaho to herself. Don't worry just throw the ball right there on the rim. I'll get the rebound and score. We need to close the gap now so that it doesn't cost us in the fourth quarter whispered Yukio.
Okay, I'll do just that, let's win the game said Noboru. Everyone get ready to collect the rebound instructed Kayano. Something tells me that Yukio isn't going to settle for one point said Kogure to himself.
Noboru went to the free throw line and lines up to take his shot. He takes a deep breath so he could shake off the nerves. If we manage to pull this off we can win this game ,I can do this said Noboru as he took a baseball pose. What the hell is this guy doing? Ryuu asked himself shocked. Is this some kind of joke? Said Kayano as he was stunned by his form.
Noboru who aim with precision throws the ball on the back board and it bounces off. Both Yukio and Ryuu jumps one attempting to grab the rebound and defend his basket while the other tries to seize this scoring opportunity.
There is no way that you'll out rebound me, number seven!! Shouted Ryuu. I'm carrying all of our team's hopes and dreams on my shoulders, if you think that I'll loose to you then you are surely mistaken said Yukio with pride as he out rebounds Ryuu.
And I'm returning the favor, no way I'm going to let you dunk on me and get away with it said Yukio as he jumps into the air and slam dunk the ball over Ryuu making him fall to the ground once more. Instead of remaining silent this time everyone on the spectating end started cheering for Toshigawa.
Nice one, number seven, you're truly a phenomenal player said a Yokonan student as everyone claps and whistles for Yukio and his team. Even though Kogure is playing Toshigawa seems to still have a chance, they are truly something Aoi said to herself.
Looks like Yukio is too much for Ryuu to handle, maybe I should mark him, however, if I were to do so we'll definitely loose said Kogure as he looked at Tetsuo and smiled. The whistle blew marking the end of the third quarter. Ryuu who was angry and upset flung a chair across the court and then sit on the bench.
Toshigawa's team is quite strong aren't they? Said Eiji. Shut your mouth Eiji!! Shouted Ryuu in Eiji's ears. It's not that their strong, it's just that they exploited our weaknesses and mistake and score from everyone of them.Their coach is not your average high school girl , she is a genius said Coach Arimoto respecting Nanaho.
If only Keichiro were here, then we wouldn't have trouble with that number seven in our post said Eiji unintentionally bluntly. So you're saying that I'm the problem now huh? Asked Ryuu as he stood up. No I didn't say that, they are just so good that's why.
