Bad news comes piercing through

this throbbing heartbeat that's out of my control.

The breathing of the undisturbed city...

Only the curiosity in my heart disturbs the quiet.

Embracing the dream that will absolutely not be manipulated

by anyone, I'll strike at tomorrow.

Surpassing the flow of time,

I want to live, feeling the wind.

Set me free. It's still too soon

for me to reach the eternal sleep

With a look in my eyes the color of red heat

even to the point I'm worn out, I will make my way through!

A few days before the 2nd match of the semi-finals against Takezato

Sakuragi Hanamichi began his rigorous training, shooting 600 shots a day.

Hanamichi sweated like a waterfall as he selflessly practiced shooting.

The day of the match has finally arrived. Saturday, June 26th

First match: Shohoku vs. Takezato (10:00-) Second match: Ryonan vs. Kainan (12:00-)

What the hell is that idiot doing?

But, on the morning of the match Hanamichi who had practiced another 200 shots,

accidentally overslept making him arrive late on the day of this very important match.

Even without Hanamichi's rebounds, Shohoku beat Takezato 120 to 81.

They achieved a record of one win and one loss,

pulling themselves out of the hole they had been in.

The only teams left fighting for the title are Kainan, Ryonan and Shohoku.

That's right.

And...

The next match might decide who will win this tournament.

Alright, let's go!

Yeah!

Let's go!

#62 The Ultimate Battle! Kainan vs. Ryonan

Do your best! We're counting on you!

Do your best, Sendoh-san!

Uozumi!

Do your best!

Kainan, do your best!

That guy...

So he is a player for Ryonan.

Ryonan. Power Forward. Kicchou Fukuda. 2nd Year 188 cm, 80 kg.

It's Uozumi.

It's Ryonan's Uozumi.

What a tall player. He is really strong.

So tall... The tallest player I've ever seen.

That boss monkey... so what if he is that tall?

Aida-san, you can only tell how tall he is when he stands up.

Hey, can you see? He is really tall.

Stop being so childish and sit down.

Facing the 202cm tall Uozumi-kun.

I think Kainan will have a hard time playing against them.

That's right.

Kainan isn't as big as Ryonan when it comes to number either.

Kainan is...

Kainan is just practicing like usual.

Even though they hold nothing special...

You can feel an amazing power in them.

No wonder they are the team called "Champion".

They look really strong.

3 minutes.

Alright, it’s the last shot!

Take the last shot!

I am going to make myself the center of attention.

What's going on?

What is he trying to do?

That punk loves attention.

He's doing an alley oop by himself!

After jumping, he grabs the ball and dunks it.

What? It went in!

Are you an idiot? That wild monkey made a fool out of himself!

They do an alley oop.

Alright, gather up!

Gather up!

That guy...

Did Ryonan have him before?

No, I didn't see him during the practice match.

That guy...

He's Fuku-chan.

Fukki...

Jin, gather up.

Do you know that guy?

Yes.

Jin-chi...

Coach...

That sparkling...

Do you two have some sort of link?

We've known each other since high school.

I was a second year,

but he was already a basketball star.

People called him star rookie.

At the time I was really arrogant.

People called me the Kanagawa's Taoka

so we become rivals.

Now, it's like I am Sendoh,

and Takato is like Rukawa.

Sendoh?

Rukawa...

That's a lie! A lie!

It's true!

Sounds like someone is talking about me.

Anyway, everyone sit down.

What's going on with them?

Why are they being so quiet?

Everyone, close your eyes...

Recall the practices we've had, in your head.

"Not enough spirit, move faster!"

"Run faster!"

"Keep your eye on the ball!"

Open your eyes.

I don't want to think about it.

I am getting chill down my spine.

Just thinking about it makes me sick.

Listen up...

In terms of practice we have had the most.

We practice more than Shohoku or Kainan.

I don't care how strict Takato is,

I am stricter than him!

Having been the coach for these past few years,

this year's team has been done more practice than any other team,

and the best team I've ever had.

You have all worked hard,

this year should be our year of triumph.

Fukuda Kicchou...

Since we only played together towards the end of junior high,

we played only a few months.

At the time, he was a beginner, so his skills weren't all that.

But...

his skills have been improving rapidly.

I don't know how much he has progressed after entering high school...

Okay, let’s go!

Do your best!

Pay attention, watch Ryonan closely,

and watch how Kainan plays offense.

I will.

The match between Kainan high school and Ryonan high school will begin now.

www.animanganucleus.org

Let's show your girl your best move.

It doesn't matter if you win or lose as long as you did it your best!

www.animanga.gen.tr

Pass the ball someone's waiting!

Trust will be the key to getting his friendship.

The match between Kainan high school and Ryonan high school will begin now.

Salute!

#9 Tadashi Muto (3rd years)

#10 Nobunaga Kiyota (1st year)

This guy... he's really huge.

It's unreal.

This is one captivating match.

What do you mean?

Boss monkey versus wild monkey.

Showdown of the monkeys.

Just like you, you idiot.

Maki...

What?

You are the Kanagawa's number one point guard.

Today that will change.

What did you say?

A big guy like you couldn't stand a chance against me, Uozumi.

Of course...

I am not talking about myself, it's our Sendoh.

What a mess...

Go Kainan!

Ryonan! ... Kainan! ...

It's Ryonan's ball!

Sendoh, we're counting on you.

Okay everyone, let's score one.

Is Sendoh the point guard?

Sendoh, he is 190 cm tall...

Hmph... bring it on, Sendoh.

Judging by Ryonan's point guard, they can't guard Maki.

So this is your plan, Taoka-senpai?

You think this is good strategy, but...

strategies like this take account of the opponent too much.

Concentrating on defense beyond necessity

affect's the team's performance badly.

For example, having 190 cm tall Sendoh as a point guard

will only make Sendoh worry about Maki even more which affect him badly.

That's it... you'll lose the ball if you aren't careful.

When you realize it, opponent will have already started a fast break.

Maki goes on offense while defending at the same time.

He passed it too high.

A misjudged pass.

Even Uozumi can't save this pass.

What?

What was that?

Alley oop!

Sakuragi...

Yeah?

Pay close attention to that number 13.

He might be your next opponent.

That Fuku-chan...

Hurry, ran fast!

Hurry! Hurry!

Number 4!

What? Box and one?

Sendoh playing man to man with that old man.

Except for Sendoh-kun, everyone else is sent to do zone defense.

It's obvious that Ryonan's strategy is to use Sendoh against Maki.

Taoka-senpai...

If I didn't believe in Sendoh's skills,

I wouldn't do this, Takato.

Sendoh's ability is beyond Maki.

I have no doubt about that.

Go for it, Sendoh!

You are the number one point guard in Kanagawa, but today that will change.

It will be given to our Sendoh.

It will be given to our Sendoh!

With this guy, it seems possible.

Aida-san...

What is the point guard's position?

His first task is to control the team.

He can be seen as the coach on the court.

So isn't it better to find someone who is smaller?

Usually that's right.

Even though, people who have good dribbling skills are usually small,

but that doesn't mean larger people can't do it. So height isn't that important.

So height isn't that important.

Sendoh-san, that pass was beautiful.

So handsome.

Nice pass.

Ryonan is taking the lead.

Beside Sendoh, everyone else is rather relaxed.

It's because Sendoh's passes are so perfect.

Kainan calls a time out.

Nice pass, Sendoh.

Thanks.

Point guard Sendoh...

Did coach Taoka know what this guy could do?

Sendoh has a wide range of vision.

He can create attacks and can feel the pass.

He has all the skills that a point guard should have.

Maybe the position that suits Sendoh best is being a point guard.

Listen...

Many teams have tried to defeat us,

but we always be able to defeat them.

That is because you are not rigid about defending.

Everyone calls you The Champions, praising you as the strongest team.

But don't let those cheers make you arrogant.

You have always carried a desire to win in your hearts;

that is why you represent the Kainan team.

With Sendoh, Uozumi and that unknown forward number 13

Ryonan is really strong.

They are the strongest challenger!

Show them your strength!

The team with the most desire will be the winner.

Today, you need to attack endlessly like usual.

Yeah!

It's not possible that Kainan will play like this until the end.

Is that so?

Maki wouldn't stay quiet.

To go against Sendoh and disable the other 4 members,

Maki will take the responsibility.

Up until now, Kainan still hasn't shown their usual offense power.

It's about time they show it.

Very good.

Impenetrable.

However, if you just stir up something, it is possible to get by.

Taoka-senpai definitely trained them very well.

Good defense.

So fast.

What a great pass!

Of course it is!

Throw in.

What?

Did you guys really lose that Ryonan by only one point?

Maybe, they didn't take you seriously.

Ryonan against Kainan,

First half, 9 minutes 10 seconds, 25 to 14.

Ryonan leads Kainan by 9 points.

Awakening from an intense dream

to the strongly sunlit morning.

While listening to my favorite tune

I toss the shirt I'm washing over my arm.

A guy last night said in a tired voice,

"I want some excitement" "I want to break up now."

Please don't be down.

Caught by the glittering moment, I want to be enthralled

Repenting isn't wonderful,

but after all you're not alone. Woah

The tears starting to overflow are beautiful

People will, once again, be able to spend time

on an unending journey.
