Chapitre 17: 17. Eliminatories and First Games (Team POV)
Zion got the tip-off to his team and Himuro got the ball, he was doing good at playmaking and his team was scoring all the time with his plays
Kagami was trying more close-shots and hitting it
Trent was using his footwork to confuse his market and shoot, he was hitting half of the times thanks to his training, in a good day this would be more
Zion was unstopable behind the rim, he got rebounds, blocks, layups and the other team couldn't do anything about it
The first game ended with a scoreboard of 52-29
The crowd was amazed because they thought this was a team of one man
This was a result from the game where Shin scored all the points and they thought Shin was the only one that was good in the team
Some time passed and they again walked to the court to play the 2nd game, the coach said this was a team of mostly passing and shooting the ball
So they put a strategy on work, that was to pressure the marker and intercept the passes
To do that they put Kagami in the center of them making one person from the other team free, they would probably pass to that person, but what they didn't know was they got caught on a trap, Himuro was already looking attently to these passes and stealed every ball passed to him
This put the opponent's team with the morale down and Kagami started intercepting the passes that they hesitated a bit
The game continued with a one-side massacre from Shin's team and the game ended up with a scoreboard of 57-19
More games passed and they had more time to rest now, because playing three games in one day was very tiring
The 3rd game started after lunch and they entered the court again
The team they were playing against losed all the games until now, this team was focused more in defending and counter attacking
Unfortunately to them, the other team was speacilly good at attacking, they couldn't handle their attacking and got tired after just a quart, mostly because of the first two games
Shin's team that had more stamina, endured until the end and winned again by a doubled scoreboard 40-18, advancing their team to the next stage of the Nationals
They got to a place they could sleep to go back next day
(A/N: They weren't in South Carolina anymore)
Shin: "Good job, I'm glad that hellish training did pay off"
The others felt a shiver run down their spines remembering the training
Kagami: "O-Of course, we trained like crazy"
Himuro: "Uhum, Shin when will you play?"
Shin remembered what the coach said
Shin: "He said I would play when we had a hard game, probably when 16 or 8 teams would be left"
Kagami shook his head and said
Kagami: "Why you got so famous with that video"
Shin: "Well, probably because I did a lot of points and cool moves, the people like seeing satisfatory moves and a lot of points"
The others nodded and Kagami just sighed

Day Two, Second Stage of the Nationals
The first games passed quickly and Spartanburg Day school winned their first game of the day, now it had the 16th best teams left and it was time to play again
Coach: "I saw our opponent's game today and saw they are taller than us, they will have a huge advantage inside our area, they have two players we need to be cautious about it, Isaiah Stewart the center and Keion Brooks their Power Forward, Zion remember your training about taller people than you"
Zion nodded and they started warming up, the coach said Shin wouldn't enter if the team was winning and didn't have a risk of losing
The other team was full of 9th grade players so it would be a very hard game to Shin's team
Announcer: "Game between schools Spartanburg Day, and La Lumiere will be starting in a moment"
The referee blow his whistle and threw the ball up, Zion lost the tip-off but got in defence position quickly
Isaiah had the ball and started a quick attack with Keion, they passed Zion defence and scored the first point
Keion: "Hey Isaiah look, they put some kids to play against us, they really want to lose quickly"
Half of the quart passed with a lot of trash talking and Shin's team losing by 7 points
Shin: "Tch, coach put me on the game please"
Coach: "It wouldn't help you go hot-headed to the court, trust a bit in your teammates"
Shin calmed a bit and concentrated in watching the game
The first quart ended with a score of 23-17
They seated in the bench to rest a bit and didn't said nothing
Shin was going to talk but got stopped by Himuro
Himuro: "Don't even think about joining the game, this game will be ours and we will win"
Shin said nothing more and agreed
They went back to the court and started listening to even more trash-talking
The game started and they had the ball, they made simple yet efficient plays
Trent started scoring several points of three
In half of the quart they were only three points behind
The other team got scared and started to play using their bodies
They made several fouls making their situation worse, Trent was the one who most caused those fouls because they didn't want to let him make three points
With 30 seconds left before the game ends, they were behind by one point
The ball was with Isaiah and he was just passing the ball between his team to buy time
Himuro ran to steal the ball and caught it, but everyone on the other team managed to get back in time to defend
With 15 seconds remaining Himuro passed to Kagami
He received and ran to the paint where he found Keion to mark him
He jumped and pretended to go for a layup, he passed it to Zion who was running after him
With only 5 seconds left Zion jumped to shoot, and Isaiah jumped to block
But in the heat of the moment, nobody noticed Trent alone in the line of three
Zion passed to him with 2 seconds left
Trent received and shoot
1 second left...
Swishh
PEEEEEEEEM
Final Score: 52-50
Winner Team: Spartanburg Day School
