- You're getting better, When'd you learn to do these fakes? - I'm going to be a starter.

- Oh, I see.

Mom, I'll be the captain and I'll take care of this house

Listen Ryota...

It's up to us to support mom now

I'll be the captain...

And you'll be the co-captain...

I'm counting on you Ryota

If you plan to be a starter I'll treat you like one

One on One

Don't turn your back on me so carelessly!! I'm reading your next move!

You have to get past me

Are you scared? Need some courage?

It happens to me too The nerves makes my heart pound like crazy

So I try hard to pretend I'm fine

- Foul! - No, it wasn't!

The game starts when you fall, Ryota! Let's go!

Come at me!

Don't run away!

You did good

That's the energy...

Never forget it

Sota...

- Wanna play again? - Alright, let's go

Hey!

Sota!

- Please play with me - I can't, already made plans

- Come on, let's keep playing - We'll play tomorrow

- Then, let me go with you - You're too young to come with us

Stay and work on your dribbling Wanna be a starter, right?

You ass, you told me that we were going to play one on one

Don't run away! You're scared to lose aren't you!

Liar! Comeback Sota!

You're stupid, I hate you I don't want to play with you anymore

DON'T EVER COMEBACK!

I'm ready

Representing Kanagawa Prefecture Shohoku High School

Representing Akita Prefecture Sannoh Kogyo High School

They're pressing from the start

Here!

Nobe!

What's wrong Ryo?

Nothing, I just thought you weren't going to score

- That's worth 2 points too, yo - Yo?

- You guys see that? They are pretty loud - They brought a lot of people

Their crowd is pretty insane, right?

I'm pretty sure we have less people Let's see...

Someone's sister

- Their friends... - Look at the other team

I told you guys to make matching shirts

If you want to make an ass of yourself it's not my problem

Move Hanamichi, you are in the way

Don't you guys find it weird to see Hanamichi on the court?

He's a clown

Hey, here!

- So that's what being a mother feels like - We are feeling the same

What are you guys talking about? You better cheer our team!

MITSUI!

LET'S GO!

Let's go, Let's go, Mitsui!

No way

These guys like to have the lead...

...but today Mitsui is ready to beat them.

That's it!

Nice

He's amazing

Good defense, let's stop that possession

That fool...

If you keep moving like that you'll end up pretty tired

Well... I'm a genius

There is no one in Japan that can get to the rim like him

Japan's number 1?

Nevermind, there's one

You better start playing

Sannoh's royalty This is the best guard in Japan

He has humiliated every guard in Japan

- Don't back down, Miyagi - I won't!

I'm gonna make a fool of you for 40 minutes!

15th Mini-Basket Tourney Cup --- Boy's division

- Kaouru, there is a free seat here - Thank you

It's nice to see you here We were waiting for you

Let's go Ryo!

Nice pass

Good shot

Ryo has been faster than usual Maybe because you are here

You can do it!

That number 7 plays quite well Although he's short

He's the one I told you about Sota's brother The one that died a few years ago

Oh! I remember he used the same number

- He was really good, right?

- So he died... - Yeah, some accident in the ocean.

- That's not true

- Don't lie, Sota went to live in an island - Anna!

I'm sorry...

The second half is starting!

- Number 7 - Number 15 - Number 5

That's it!

By the way... I played against your brother one time

I couldn't do anything in that game and I lost

What's wrong? You'll never play like him

Don't give up!

Here I go!

Ryo!

Ryo you can do it!

Well...

What a let down, nothing like his brother

That kid will never be like his brother

I think it's a good time to pack this stuff What if we move somewhere else?

Just because your brother wore number 7 doesn't mean you have to wear it

You can change it if you want

But I like number 7

What are you doing?

Don't ever come to this room

Take that off, you have your own clothes

Get off me!

That kid will never be like his brother

We are starting the second half!

The real match starts now

Easy... we have time

Damn it

We will take the lead in the 3rd minute from the second half

Miyagi, pass it!

These guys are annoying

- Poor guys - This is bad for Shohoku

Again?

I'm here Give me the ball!

Don't underestimate me

Offense, charging!

Now introduce yourself to the class

Ryota Miyagi

From now on Ryota will be your classmate...

- And that kid, who does he think he is? - He's moving from Okinawa...

So he doesn't know too much about how things work around here-

Don't be a wise-ass

Hey kid... Go play with that ball somewhere else!

Shut up!

What if we invite that kid?

Looks like he likes to play alone

Are you from Primary?

First year of Secondary

You won't beat me from just using fakes

You have to go forward! Try to get past me!

What? Are you going to give up?

If you play alone all the time you won't get better

Mitsui!

Want to play next time? I hope you'll be able to beat me

Shut up...

What are you doing? I haven't touched the ball in this half

Shut up!

If we push the lead to 20 points We can destroy the spirit...

...of Shohoku's freshmen

- 5 seconds - Hurry up!

10 seconds! Get past half court!

Take it!

What kind of pass was that?

You too Rukawa! Help them bring it up the court!

Foul and one!

Timeout, Sannoh!

Little Ryo, I haven't touched the ball the whole half

Take a minute to breathe...

If I were Sannoh I would press full court...

Until our team get overwhelmed or until it breaks our spirit

We are doing great Shohoku can't deal with our pressure

- Now it's time to attack - Yeah!

We can't lose that

- Mitsui, Rukawa... - Yeah!

I want you both to run down court

- And you Miyagi... - Yeah?

This will be your playground

- So what about the genius Sakuragi, pops? - I want you to head to the basket

And just run -Got it

- Ryota, give me your hand - Red team, hurry!

What are you doing?

I want you to be the same cocky fool that I know

- They are going for Miyagi again! - Leave him alone!

Sawakita, the ball!

- He's really fast! - He's leaving him behind!

I'm the number 1 in term of speed

Take it!

Good pass!

- 3 on 2! - Here we'll change the flow of the game

No way

Finally I got it... Turn around and the shot I trained!

- He saved it! - One shot at a time, we can do it!

Kawata...

Nice!

- Can he shoot? - No, he doesn't have the shot!

Will I be able to beat this guy?

- You can do it, Akagi! - Let's go!

You guys already did that play... We know about it

We know that play too

Here I go!

Look, this is a great game

They're up by 20 points!

One basket, let's start with that

Ichino... Look at Mitsui

Looks like your pressure from the first half is finally showing

Was like a lethal blow to him

Are you gonna shoot, yo?

He never hits his jumpers Does he know Ryota's weakness?

Damn it! There is only one plan left

- Sakuragi, the secret weapon! - Secret weapon?

Sakuragi!

Traveling!

- Hey, take this seriously or I'll kill you - Shut up idiot, it was just an accident

8 minutes and not a single basket

We have to score at least one

Here!

Here!

Get by him!

This guy...

...has no weaknesses

- Rukawa, be careful! - He's surrounded

Come on, you can do it!

We can't lose this match

Hey!

What?

Timeout!

How a team like us could even get here...

is because of our strong inside presence from Akagi

But it's not enough

Defense, defense!

Defensive effort is all I want to see from you!

It's absolutely roasting today!

Miyagi... you have to talk Don't play in silence.

I want to hear you!

Next

- I'm not that type of player - Miyagi!

Was it necessary to show off like that?

You complicate the game too much

Akagi, shut up...

Ignore him, you'll get used to it It's either that or you quit the team

I just made a quick pass...

so that the defense wouldn't be able to react fast enough

I guess the team isn't capable of playing at that level

What did you say?

Whatever... we don't get along

Akagi believes in you

- More than any other player in the team - What?

I'm sorry

You're too short

Who would expect something from a shorty Only height matters in basketball

- What? - Let's leave, Ryota

- Hey longhair! - WHAT?

I'm ready for a one on one whenever you want With one condition...

If you lose you have to shave your head... Deal?

WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?

We'll get you!

- That brat - Norio...

...let's destroy that kid

With pleasure

Shohoku vs Egawa Industry

Here!

Why didn't he pass? He was open

Senpai!

Loose ball!

- Defense! - Get back!

Just sub me in!

Losers

Do you think you are the only one that tried? Relax...

Whatever... now I can retire

I can leave now But this is just the beginning for you guys

The arc of terror begins...

I'm so sorry for everyone...

Wish you all the best for next season

Even though... I don't think you can make it to the summer

...troublemaker

- Ah? - What's with the attitude?

Are you making fun of me?

A stubborn mule and a troublemaker... Doubt you guys can get along

At least Miyagi can pass the ball

You boys are overthinking Let's use that energy in our bodies

- Kogure - Yeah?

Switch with Sakuragi

Back on the court

Hey pops... How dare you to sub out this genius?

You sub him in... Just because he is about to graduate, really?

- Who is Sannoh's next opponent? - Aiwa High School, looks interesting

I might be the only one that thinks we can still win

You still haven't given up, right pops?

Why would I?

The game ends once you give up Even if you are still playing

Box him out!

- That's it! - Awesome

- We'll go after the basket, watch this - Yeah!

They're too tall

Rebound!

Watch this

What would have happen if you would have taken that rebound

- Yamao would feel insecure of their abilities? - That doesn't matter

First, there wouldn't be a counterattack after Sannoh's rebound

So we would get another chance to score

That means, they wouldn't get their 2 points and we would gain 2 points

You understand, Sakuragi?

It's a 4 point play

If you can do that, you'll be the Ace that changes the scoreboard around

Grab the ball... grab the ball...

Let me give you my energy Sakuragi I believe in you!

- Take my energy - Take mine too - And my energy

What are they doing?

This is wrong...

- This is a really lame way of thinking - What else can we do?

We won't get the rebound with that

Not yet, pops?

It still isn't my turn to play?

Sub me in already!

HANAMICHI!

They will sub him out even with this lead?

That kid can't score from the 3 point line

You can do it Sakuragi

Hey, four-eyes

Hanamichi... We are counting on you, troublemaker

Give it your best, rookie

The game ends once you give up Even if you're still playing...

Why the hell did you do that?

What is he doing?

- Number 10 what are you doing? - That idiot

Ahem, Sannoh will be defeated by the genius Sakuragi

Are you dumb?

I'm sorry, he just started playing He doesn't know the rules

If he does that again he's out of the game

So, what do you guys think about that?

Now we have no choice but to win

Why the long face, Gori? You don't think we can win?

- What are you talking about? - So naive, haven't you looked at the scoreboard?

Fools, everything you guys are saying hold no power over me

Because I'm a beginner

So, team... Are you gonna follow this genius?

What? I can't hear you!

Hey you!

Cheer the team to win! We can't lose to this annoying crowd!

To win?

- Let's go, we can do it! - Don't give up!

Fool! He shot the ball without thinking That's the problem

Mine!

Yeah!

- Yeah, that's it! - Cheater

Yeah!

The score in the second half is 26 to 2

But we're not losing the battle of wills... Soon we'll have our chance

We have to get the lead down to 10 points

Akagi, help!

- Nice Ryota - That's it!

Pay attention! Don't waste our chances

Damn it

- 3 points! - Get in!

- Again? - That was a fake

What?

Sakuragi!

Everyone saw that?

- Awesome, he followed the shot - Thanks to that we were able to score

And the reason why I subbed him in Wasn't only to grab rebounds

- Let's focus for these next 10 points - Yeah!

- Let's go Shohoku, let's win Shohoku! - Let's go Shohoku, let's win Shohoku!

Akagi! You're holding the ball too long!

No, that shot won't go in!

I knew it!

So high!

And he got control of the ball?

He's fast!

How?

Not bad, redhead

Hanamichi, pass it!

National Champions

Offense, charging!

You do everything alone, all the time

What if we stay on the ground

No one will blame you It's just what you had to do

It doesn't matter, you guys won't win

I guess you're doing it again Thinking you're the only one trying

Don't put the dream of being National Champions on us, It's annoying

Akagi, let me ask you a question...

What does it feel to look down on everyone?

Do you think you're better than everyone?

- Are you ok, can you continue? - Yeah, I'm good

I see... I'm already fulfilling my dreams right this moment

Gori finally woke up

Kawata is Kawata, you are you...

Akagi is Akagi... and me...?

Red team's ball

One basket!

I got you

That guy is at his limit

- Kawata is Kawata, Akagi is Akagi... - What did he say?

And me...?

Who am I?

I want you to say my name Say it loud, who am I?

Hey!

So this is a gang? I never thought these things were real

I don't like how the arch of your eyebrows wise-ass

Well... I don't like your long hair

I want you to say my name!

Mitsui!

Yeah!

You're running on fumes

Nice! There's only a 10 point difference

Hey Miyagi...

You have to use me

Akagi will screen for me

I have to create space

And use that moment to score 3 points

Hey!

- Yeah! - That's it!

The only thing I can see is the rim

Let's move! Offense to defense... We're on defense now, right?

How? He's clearly at his limit

Don't worry Matsumoto... Let him shoot

He's stubborn... Well... it's easier to guard the 3s

We only have to grab the rebounds

That's not going in!

I knew it

Rebound!

Oye, brat! What's wrong with you?

Hey, can't you see we're talking to you?

Hey!

Don't get cocky!

- Perfect! - Take this!

- You think you're too cool, right? - You'll pay for this

Bastard!

Mitsui!

Get off him!

- You're gonna pay for this! - Don't move!

What is this? Snow?

Looks like trash...

My heart is beating so fast

What happened? Ryo, open the door!

Shit...

Shit...

Shit...

Shit...

Shit...

Ryo?

Ryo!

Mom! Ryo woke up!

Are you okay Ryo? Can you hear me? We are in the hospital

- Hospital? - The bike was totaled after the crash

The bike...

I got to see Okinawa...

What were you thinking?

The doctor said that you were lucky to be alive

Can we slow down a bit?

What? Weren't you Japan's MVP?

You are Ryota, right? Look how much you grew

- How have you been? - Grandma, who is he?

What's your name?

Sota, that's amazing!

Are they pro?

No, they're from high school

They won Nationals 3 times

The great team Sannoh

Sannoh...

Will you try to get into that school?

How's this? Is it better?

Maybe in 1, 2, 3... in 4 years

Okinawa's MVP... Sota Miyagi!

There he goes, double clutch layup!

He did it!

He beat the powerful Sannoh

Forgive me Sota

Why am I the only one who disappoints mom?

If only Sota were here...

Let's go!

Intentional foul, white number 4!

Intentional foul?

What?

- Nice! - Let's go!

What happened to your hair?

- Are you really coming back to the team? - Shut up

I want everyone to know I don't give up so easily

Really?

This is a crucial moment We have to take advantage of this opportunity

Or else we don't deserve to beat Sannoh

- Let's get these 10 points back! - Yeah!

Looks like they finally found their rhythm Right?

Fukatsu... Japan's best guard Against me?

I really have to match his level?

I know I've always been a quick player

But the reality is...

Is that I always fall behind

What's up?

You don't seem in a good mood

Fukatsu was a starter in Sannoh since his first year

And I have to play against him...

Well, that's obvious After all you both are guards

My heart is racing

Really? I had no idea

You always seem relaxed

We all know you're one of the best guards

Well... you're not Kanagawa's number 1 And...

Come to think of it, not number 2 either... Maybe not even...

Okay stop, that isn't helping

We should think of something that'll help you focus if things get messy

Let me think...

How about...

Like looking at your hand

Number 1 Guard

Miyagi is exhausted from playing the whole match

Be careful Ryo Please don't miss

Shut up! You're distracting me!

Everything will be fine

Yeah!

- Screen! - Switch!

Only 10 points!

Kawata!

Kawata is guarding the redhead!

Kawata...

That redhead has been the only one besides you...

That has given me the most trouble on the boards

- What's so funny? - Don't hold anything back, bald orc

If you say so

Sakuragi changed the pace of the game

Rebound!

- Sorry, didn't see you - Bald orc!

- No! - It goes to Sawakita!

Good job Rukawa!

- You won't get by me - Are you sure?

Don't let them make easy passes Are you sleeping or what?

What'd you say?

You're a fraud

You always talk about being Japan's number 1 But you let that baldie beat you

*Sigh* - Are you ignoring me?

Focus on defense, Sakuragi!

Hey...

Is that all you guys got?

I'll destroy you

I want to see you try

Switch!

- Kawata! - Yeah!

Really? He's still up here with me?

That's it! CHARGE!

Oh no, I missed!

- Who would have thought - These two aren't some ordinary freshmen

We might be in trouble if these two start working together

Our job is to stop them

It's easy, we just need to score...

three more times

Give me the ball Fukatsu, Alright?

- You can do it! - Come on!

- Don't lose focus - Defense, everyone!

- Here I go! - That's it! - Careful!

- Don't come any closer!

Keep defending, please!

Is there really someone like that of my age?

He's probably thought of nothing but basketball the past 17 years

But...

I've done the same

- He's beating him! - No

- Fukatsu! - Pass it!

You dumbass, fox!

That's a careless shot!

You got lucky

Shohoku (55) - (65) Sannoh

You want to be Japan's MVP... Rukawa?

Shut up

Maybe you can be the MVP ... Once I'm no longer in Japan

Ready...

GO!

Don't underestimate me

I achieved everything in high school basketball.

I don't think there is anything left to accomplish

Give me the experience that I need

If you think that I'm missing something

Give me the wisdom, please

6, 7, 8, 9, 10...

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7...

Not bad...

I think I can do it again

One on One... You'll never beat me, Rukawa

I can't believe that Rukawa has been defeated so easily

It's not over yet

Rebound!

I can't let the redhead jump

That's the first step... The second is to get the ball

What's wrong? Don't tell me that you gave up?

- Not yet - You're the star player, Rukawa!

Looks like the ball's mine

Foul! and one!

Shohoku (55) - (73) Sannoh

Damn it!

What an arrogant prick... Saying that he's the number one

He's still a second year like me I'd love to see the frustration on his face

- Me too - Yeah, I know

By the way...

Is this the first time we've talked to each other?

- It was a good game... - Yeah it was pretty entertaining

Shohoku's team gave a good fight

Hey you!

The five on the court are against great players

The bench has to support them

Shohoku (55) - (74) Sannoh

Yeah!

He still doesn't understand that you can't beat Sawakita?

What are you up to Rukawa?

He doesn't have any options

Rukawa 6 Seconds left!

It's about to be a 24 second violation 4 Seconds left!

Where is he going?

Basket counts!

Yeah!

Coach?

He passed the ball?

Rukawa passed?

So he's passing?

Good decision

In!

Pass

Pressure him!

Get off me!

Shohoku (59) - (74) Sannoh

Rukawa found his rhythm

He's acting different Perfect, hit them with everything Rukawa!

Not so fast!

- Yeah! - Let's go!

Shohoku (61) - (74) Sannoh

That's it!

You came to block me when I can barely lift my arms...

I knew it, he's way over his limit

3 minutes and a half

and 13 points

Mine!

Run!

- Rukawa run! - Yeah!

- Come on! - Run!

- Don't let him shoot! - You won't give up, right?

Complete silence... This sound...

Is what what I live for

Shohoku (64) - (74) Sannoh

- Yeah! - Only 10 points!

They are resilient

- Yeah! - Let's take care of this possession

This guy!

- We're close! - Yeah!

Shohoku (66) - (74) Sannoh

Everything can change in these 2 minutes and 50 seconds

- That's it - Good! - Hey, don't you want to smile or something?

Now we have a chance

- Gori - What?

That guy is just like Rukawa He won't pass up a shot...

Because he's never lost

No!

Yeah! You guys saw that?

My amazing plan worked

- 2 minutes and a half! - 8 points and the ball is ours!

Gori, we can still do this right?

- You guys can do it! - We can win! - Don't give up!

This guy never hesitates?

He made me lose the ball!

Someone catch it!

Don't give up! DON'T GIVE UP!

MITSUI, MOVE!

Time out, ref!

Hey...

Sakuragi?

You did a good job But damn are you clumsy

- Who you calling clumsy? - So you're still alive

- Of course I am! - Can you continue?

Yeah

What's happening?

Shohoku, you can do it!

That's it, don't give up!

We have to catch up!

We really have to destroy them so they can give up?

Yeah, louder! Support us!

What...?

Drop step!

- Fade away! - That's it!

That's not going in!

Rebound!

Let's try again

Although it's hard... Although my heart's beating a mile a minute...

I have to pretend I'm fine

Shohoku (66) - (74) Sannoh

Idiot... Are you still scared of Kawata?

Get off the court if you can't keep up with me

- Is it gonna be a drive? or a pass? - You're forgetting something

Shohoku (69) - (74) Sannoh

- He got the basket! - 3 points! - Time out, Sannoh!

This is bad, the pain is getting worse

- What's wrong Sakuragi, something hurts you? - No, just my back it hurts a bit

What? How's the pain?

It feels like a sprain but I'm fine

If you keep playing this might be your last game

Don't give up

Mitsui...

You are doing fine... Can you still run?

- I can barely lift my arms - Nice... I'll send you all the passes

- Hey pops, we still can win, right? - Yeah of course

Sakuragi has helped the team with rebounds and heart

Miyagi has given us his speed and gamesense

Mitsui gave us chaos

And later wisdom and sharpshooting

Rukawa his explosivity and will to win

All of this on top of the foundations of the team that Akagi and Kogure have built

These strengths and attributes are what comprises our team

This is what defines Shohoku

Listen, forget your anger We have never been good friends

But...

- But what? - Nothing...

- Thank you for everything - Eh?

- Idiot you call that advice? - Don't think I'm doing this for you

- Teams!

Ok team... Are you ready?

YEAH!

- Let's go! - Let's go team!

He's going for the mismatch

Why isn't it working? He should feel pressured by this

Of course... We are against the powerful Sannoh

Shohoku (69) - (76) Sannoh

- They are pressing! - Ryota!

Domoto

I won't give up even if we have the lead We'll fight until the last second

Because that's our playstyle That's why we are considered invincible

- Miyagi! - Ryota

Ryota! Show them what you're made of!

Happy birthday Sota & Ryota

Do you want the small one?

- Yeah - Like always

Then the rest is for me

- What'd you say? - Nothing

Take it, the biggest part is for the MVP

Yours has more

Well, but yours has the card

It's weird for brothers to share the same birthday

It means we're special

So what time tomorrow?

Hey Ryo, what time do you leave for Hiroshima? Is that where the Nationals will be held?

- 6am - Really?

Mom did you hear? He leaves at 6am

Ryota is 17 years old and Sota...

Hey!

20 years...

If he were alive

So 20 years...

3 years difference Although he's older now than Sota ever was

Let's put his picture up so we don't forget him

Is that okay with you, mom?

It's been 8 years

Yeah

Happy 17th Birthday

Thank you

Dear Mother, Every year when this day comes...

I'm sorry that I'm the one alive

...Mother? What's this

Dear Mother, please forgive me because I only cause problems...

I know you hate basketball...

Because it reminds you of Sota...

Even though you never asked me to stop...

When I played minibasket, it made me really happy that you went to see my games

Sota is amazing Already scored 20 points

Well... that's why he's the captain

You want to be like your brother?

I know you can be that good if you practice really hard

In a world without Sota... basketball was my biggest reason to live

And you let me do it.. So thank you.

Stop! Why do you keep doing this!

Mom! Help!

I don't know what to do anymore

I'm glad that I kept going

Tomorrow I'll be in the place...

Where Sota would have loved to be.

- Hey, stop recording! - Keep playing

- Lower your knees, like this - Shut up

You can do it!

- So annoying! - You can't get by me, shorty

What can I do... Against giants blocking my way?

You can do it!

You can do it!

YOU CAN DO IT, RYOTA!

Dribbling is life...

For shorties like me!

- Yeah! - Good job Ryota

- Defense! - Defense!

That's it!

In!

Foul, basket does not count!

You can do it, Akagi

- Number 4 has to take free throws - Hey I'm shooting free throws, Sakuragi

Really? What kind of joke is this? That slam dunk was a good play by this genius

Rukawa don't you dare feel sorry for me... I'll beat you one day

Let me go I don't want to sit

He hurt himself when he fell over that table

But where?

- Ayako, please don't say it - In his back

Really?

Is this the end of my career? Does it all come to a close at the end of this match?

So...

I won't be able to play anymore?

Do you like basketball?

I love it, because I'm an athlete

Siblings?!

Here I go

Box me out!

Good, That's it!

Again

Last shot!

The left hand supports the ball

The debut of the rebound king!

Shohoku (70) - (76) Sannoh

- Yeah - Good job

Hanamichi, we're counting on you troublemaker

Damn it...

Damn it...

- Score - You can do it - Akagi

Let's go!

Substitution...

- Hanamichi! - What are you doing? - Sakuragi, no!

- Hey, what do you think you're doing? - Sakuragi!

Sakuragi...

I'm ready... Take care of the paint, Gori

Sakuragi don't spout that nonsense, come back

See? You can barely stand

- Sorry, cancel the substitution - Hey pops!

Sakuragi...

I have to confess...

Although I noticed immediately that something was wrong

I didn't want to sub you out...

Because I wanted to see you reach the limits of what you're capable of

I've been a bad coach

That could have affected the rest of your career

Shohoku (71) - (76) Sannoh

- 1 minute left! - Sakuragi, let's cheer on the team

When were your glory days old man? Was it during Nationals?

Because for me...

This is my moment of glory!

Red, foul!

Hey, if you're just gonna stand there, you're just getting in the way

If you're coming back in, just do it... Moron

Substitution!

Is he really coming back?

- Hanamichi... - Are you ok?

Why do you guys look so concerned?

Did you miss your best player? I'm talking about me, of course

To beat an opponent like Yamao someone like me is perfect

Gori, let's win this! They're nothing but a stepping stone to advance in this tournament

- A newbie like you doesn't have to tell us that - What?

Shohoku (71) - (76) Sannoh

Hey, come here!

We know that they'll press again They're coming for me

In that moment you take the ball Rukawa, Run and don't stop until you get to the basket

Sure

- Captain, help Rukawa - Okay...

Listen...

We can do this

Captain?

1,2,3...

WIN!

Sannoh, are you ready?

Let's go

- They are serious - They really think they can score 5 points in 1 minute?

Let's go Shohoku!

- Defense! - Defense!

He's open They're going to score!

Fool!

- Let's go, Mikio! - That's the shot!

RUN RUKAWA!

Good, he's covered!

It was a fake!

Basket counts 3 points, foul number 6! One free throw!

Shohoku (74) - (76) Sannoh

- Shohoku! - Shohoku!

What a shot, Mitsui

Thank god I got in Shohoku's team...

We can feel the victory

It's obvious that they haven't given up

And that they trust in themselves and their abilities

Shohoku (74) - (76) Sannoh

Shohoku (75) - (76) Sannoh

- 47, 46, 45, 44..! - Defense! Don't let them score!

Come on!

Sakuragi, you can do it!

Miyagi...

Rukawa...

Let's go Mitsui!

You can do this... Akagi!

Score!

Give it back

STOP HIM! GO AFTER HIM!

It's over!

Shohoku (77) - (76) Sannoh

Yeah!

LET'S GO!

How was the match against Sannoh?

It was hard

I was scared

Ryota...

What...?

Welcome back, son

I'm home

- Are you taller? - What?

Of course not, it's only been 4 days

Take this

It was from Sota

Ryota!

- Welcome Ryota! - What are you doing?

It's okay...

The experience from a loss Is always a good lesson

Give me the experience that I need

Have you noticed anything different since you came overseas?

Everyone around me... are all as big and athletic as Kawata

What will be your role on this team?

I'm small so I'll be playing point guard

I don't want to put extra pressure on myself
