The practice match in which Sakuragi Hanamichi debuted in Shohoku's basketball team...

... with the strong Ryonan Basketball team...

...has entered into the second half, and the intensity has increased.

However, Hanamichi is extremely frustrated at not being able to get the rebound against Ryonan's Uozumi.

Wrong!

Stupid, what kind of rebound was that

After Shohoku's Captain Akagi rejoins the team,

Hanamichi remembers his practice with Akagi on how to get the rebound.

And then...

Alright, that's it!

Slam Dunk #18 Last 2 minutes! I'll be the one to defeat Sendo

Alright!

Two more minutes!

Only two more minutes left, pick it up!

Okay!

Only one ball difference.

Shouhoku's number 4 is incredible after all!

We can definitely do it!

Shohoku has a chance to win!

Go, go, go!

This is unbelievable, they actually caught up!

I never knew that our senpai's were that though!

And their opponent is Ryonan, one of the best four too!

If you guys get a chance to play and do your best, I'm sure Shohoku will become even stronger.

Ayako-san.

Rukawa and Sakuragi Hanamichi are both only freshmen.

If you guys work hard, you'll be just like them.

That's right!

How cool!

I want to be in a match too!

The flying swapping technique!

That stopped Ryonan's offense!

Incredible, senpai is incredible, and Akagi-san is also really incredible!

Coach, this is bad... Shohoku is really strong...

Calm down, Hikoichi, we won't lose.

I can't believe that Shohoku's gotten this strong...

They are really strong.

I really made a mistake when I thought we would defeat them by over 30 points.

I really underestimated them.

But we won't lose.

3 points?

It's a 3 pointer.

They caught up!

They might come back and win!

Megane, Megane, Megane... (megane: gözlük)

I did such a silly thing in front of Rukawa-kun... How embarrassing!

What's wrong, Haruko-chan? Let's all together cheer for Megane! Megane. Megane.

This is great, what a come back!

We'll win at this rate!

We might defeat Ryonan!

This is so cool!

I can't just sit and watch after all.

I want to do my best and become a great player!

Nice shot, Kogure-san.

Way to go!

Okay, let's get another one.

Not bad, Shohoku.

Okay...

This is it.

What are we going to do?

We can't depend on Sakuragi, who only knows the basics, to be able to cover him.

Should I guard him?

But what about Uozumi?

Sendo, you remember don't you? That I said I'll defeat you.

We need to change players.

And let Rukawa play.

Sendo-san!

Foul on number 4.

Basket counts. One foul shot.

Great! Shohoku fouled!

Basket counts...

Coach...

Hikouichi, I told you already... we won't lose.

Hi, I'm Dr. T.

The foul just now is called a touching foul.

It's when someone purposely hit the hand of the person who is shooting...

...in order to stop him from shooting...

and if the shot goes in, the basket counts

and they also get a foul shot, for one additional point.

Anyway, this is Dr. T's basketball explanation. Now please continue watching the show.

Damn it... Sendo...

It’s amazing that he still has that much energy left in these last few minutes.

He is really strong.

It looks like he's just now getting serious about the match.

No, it's because his heart wasn't in the match.

Up until now, his performance in the match has been great, but he didn't put 100% into it.

Because he can use 70% and still get the basket.

That's why when he played, he didn't put his heart into it.

But now that we've got a lead only a few minutes left, he's getting serious.

Because we were able to come back, we drew out his competitive nature.

To be able to draw out so much energy and strength and pull us ahead,

just as it seemed like we were going to lose...

Sendo is truly a gifted basketball player.

One shot.

That’s Sendo for you. He pulled them ahead so quickly.

So Coach has been relying on Sendo all this time...

With Sendo on Ryonan's team, we definitely won't lose.

Damn it... Damn it... Sendo...

That number 7 is really though..

Even Hanamichi can't stop him.

Why does Hanamichi need to guard him?

Among the five out there,

he's the only one who can match Sendo in speed and height.

But if this keeps up...

Then we...

I'll guard Sendo.

W... Wait, Gori!

I was careless just now.

From now on, I'll definitely keep an eye on him!

I wasn't blaming you.

You've been full of energy ever since you started playing..

However, there might not be anyone who can stop Sendo,

so you don't need to feel ashamed.

Hey, what are you doing, Akagi, Sakuragi!?

Hurry up and get over here!

I'll guard Sendo.

Sakuragi-kun.

You still don't understand? We're in the middle of a match, let's go!

Hanamichi won't give up so easily...

He definitely won't admit defeat.

Sakuragi...

I'll defeat Sendo!

Hold it right there, Sendo!

How fast!

He caught up!

How can that guy run so fast!?

Sakuragi-san!

Alright!

Sendo-san!

Damn you... why you...

Gori... I was just...

That was a good chase.

Forget it!

Gori!

Yeah!

Alright! We scored right away!

way to go, Gori!

Kogure-san, nice pass!

Tighten up the defense!

Stick to them!

Okay!

Okay, come on Sendo!

Hi guys, finally Hanamichi will put on the show on the court, let's cheer him on! If you can hold the ball in a hand, you'll be a great basketball player!

It's no good... Sendo is too good...

Even Rukawa can't stop him.

Sakuragi doesn't have a chance...

But Sakuragi-kun... his defense is pretty good...

He's not afraid of that Sendo-san at all...

He's doing such a good job that it doesn't even look like he's just learned basketball, right?

Yeah... he's also improved a lot during the course of this match... just from looking at him.

Sakuragi-kun! Sakuragi-kun!

Damn it...

Damn... almost got it...

See... you can tell from Sendo's expression that Sakuragi is giving him quite a bit of pressure.

Sendo is beginning to tire like everyone else.

Senpai...

It's about time for me to play...

in these last two minutes.

A member change for Shohoku.

It's Rukawa.

Rukawa. It's Rukawa-kun.

Rukawa-kun is going to play.

I wonder what kind of match it'll be with Rukawa-kun playing.

I need to observe carefully.

Rukawa-kun, Sakuragi-kun...

Shohoku's Coach is finally doing something!

The coach who's done nothing but sit there up until now is finally doing something!

Is he really the coach?

I thought he was just sitting there for appearance.

I thought so too.

Me too.

Me too.

What a bunch of idiots!

Coach Anzai, who's always calm and expressionless.

What kind of plan do you have up your sleeves?

I can't tell... I can't tell at all...

What!? What was that!? Wait just a minute, old man! That won't work!

I refuse!

Pops, didn't you see how I was playing?

You weren't that interesting to watch at all...

We're in the middle of a match, please call a time out if you want to talk.

I'm done already.

Wait a minute, Pops! Hey!

There's only two minutes left. Let's do our best!

Yeah!

This is the last two minutes, don't slack off!

Yeah!

Coach Anzai... what kind of advise did you give those two?

I can't tell... I can't tell at all!

Sendo!

Double team! They're double teaming Sendo!

Don't tail me, Rukawa!

You ignorant fool.

Don't get your hopes up. You can't guard everyone! Sendo!

Someone help him, Yasuda, Kogure!

Okay, here I go!

He slipped pass me!

That was close...

Don't charge when you can't steal the ball, you idiot!

Keep you eyes on him at all times. Don't look left or right, just keep your eyes right on his eyes.

That's the first time I've heard that from you, Rukawa. Are you asking this genius for help?

It's better than losing.

Rukawa-kun... Sakuragi-kun...

What incredible defense and pressure! He doesn't even have any opening to pass the ball.

This is the first time I've seen it...

That's right, this amazing defense...

No, not that...

This is the first time I've seen...

Sendo so excited during a match.

Go help him out, Koshino!

Sendo!

Alright!

Damn it...

It's because you let your guard down, you idiot!

What did you say!?

Come on, freshmen boys.

Just you wait! I'm going to defeat you!

Just you wait...

Come on.

It's like you said Coach... Sendo-san is really enjoying this match.

He is really enjoy playing this match.

Right now, he's really enjoying basketball. He's completely focused on defeating his opponents.

It's like he's been waiting for opponents who are strong enough to challenge him.

Hey, hold it right there, Sendo!

Why aren't you guarding me? Are you scared!?

I can't guard two people at the same time.

Idiot, why would our ace guard a person like you?

Don't worry, I'll play with you.

Ref... he just...

Why that Sendo...

Don't underestimate me because I'm a rookie in basketball.

Damn it... Akagi...

Way to go, Akagi-san. We got a basket back!

81 points... we still have a chance!

Uozumi doing his best... but he's still not as good as Akagi...

He's really a rare talent.

For this ball, let's tighten up the defense!

We must stop them!

I'll stop them...

Just a little more than a minute...

4 point difference... What do you think, Coach?

If they can stop this basket, then there's still hope.

If they can stop?

Then if they score...

The decisive ball...

Those two, Rukawa and Sakuragi Hanamichi, have tried everything possible to stop Sendo...

At this critical point in the match, Ryonan will definitely look to...

That's right...

Sendo-kun.

Okay then...

Here I go!

I'll stop you! I'll stop you!

With only a minute left in the match...

The match between Shohoku and Ryonan is finally approaching its climax.
