Capítulo 25: A GLIMPSE AT VICTORY
Well let's see what Toshigawa can do said Kogure as he winked and went to his team's bench. Kogure-senpai look over here! Shouted a first year girl from the crowd. Kogure-senpai, I love you said another girl who had a crush on him. Senpai be sure to crush them. I don't think he'll play in such a low class game setting this team is practically a walk over said a boy .
I guess this Kogure guy and I are in the same boat, we are quite popular with the ladies said Noboru. I don't know what I'll do to cure that delusional mind of yours said Nanaho. Hey, you must be the coach of Toshigawa Academy, nice to meet you. I wanted to ask though, why are you wearing their jersey? Asked Coach Arimoto.
This man thinks Takahiro is our coach said Noboru as he laughed intensely. Actually I'm the coach, he is a player said Nanaho. Oh, I'm sorry , it's just that he looks way too old to be in high school , you should shave that beard said Coach Arimoto. Even their coach is calling me old and he looks old said Takahiro in a sad tone.
Alright let's start the match said Coach Arimoto as he sat down to observe the game. Listen up everyone, I want you to play smart and read the game. I know that you may feel out classed and demotivated due to the crowd but do not give into fear because I know that you can win said Nanaho.
I want you guys to give me every ounce of energy you have in this game and use it to win. We are up against Yokonan high a school famous for the sport, who are considered the top of the food chain but if we give it our all we will win. Alright are you ready? Asked Yukio and everyone agreed.
Toshigawa!!!! Shouted Yukio. Fight!!! Said everyone as they fixed their jersey tops in their shorts to prepare for the game. Fukazawa didn't tell us the starting five, I guess I'll just go sit on the bench said Shino as he got ready to sit. Tetsuo, I want you on the bench for now. Okay responded Tetsuo as he sat. Why did she put Tetsuo on the bench, shouldn't he be starting? I'm so confused Haruko said to herself. Shino you'll be starting go knock them dead said Nanaho as she smiled awkwardly while giving him a thumbs up.
What!! I. I can't said Shino as he trembled and shaked due to nerves. Calm down and take a deep breath, this is what you have been training for, we need you today so let's do our best Shino said Yukio. The captain's right, I want to be better and I want to help this team , if I don't do this now , I'll never get as good as you.
I have never questioned Nanaho's way of thinking and strategizing before but was this the right decision , to let him start? Yukio asked himself. I know that this might be far fetched and risky but we need a few trump cards to stand a chance in this game I hope that they can hold on said Nanaho as she bit her fingernail.
Let's get this game over with said Eiji as he walked casually on the court. I kind of feel sorry for them, they are going to be the laughing stock of our school said Ryuu as he tried to contain his laughter and maintain his composure. Are you ready for the tip off? Asked the person who will ref the match. Yes I'll be the one jumping said Yukio as he stood in center of the court for the tip off.
It looks like we are at the same height , but there's no way I'll loose the tip off to these losers Ryuu said to himself.The game between Toshigawa and Yokonan will now begin said the ref as he blew the whistle and threw up the ball in the air. Both Yukio and Ryuu jumped into the air to receive the ball for their team however, Yukio won
What no way! Shouted Ryuu shocked. Got it said Hayato as he caught the ball. Noboru catch he said as passes the ball from his half of the court to the other half to Noboru who catches it and scores a layup. Nice shot Noboru keep it up said Nanaho. That was quick , he passed the ball in the blink of an eye said Haruko to herself.
Nice shot Noboru and great running said Hayato as they high five each other. That was nothing just wait and see said Noboru with confidence.
Immediately after Eiji dribbles the basketball up court in a calm manner. Alright everyone you know what to do said Eiji as they started to run the play. A Yokonan player sets a screen for Ryuu freeing him up. Damn, that caught me off guard said Yukio. Eiji immediately passed the ball over Hayato's head and to Ryuu who shoots a post shot that swishes.
Immediately after they scored Noboru inbounds the basketball to Hayato. Alright everyone, lets score some points he said as he dribbled the ball up court. Without hesitation Takahiro sets a screen for Hayato and Hayato used this opportunity to drive to the rim and attempted a layup.
Ryuu played help and attempted to block him so last minute he changed his mind and passed the ball to Yukio.Yukio then rhythmically jumped into the air and slams the basketball into the rim over Ryuu with a single hand causing him to fall to the ground which silenced everyone watching. There's more where that came from , we'll knock your asses down a peg said Noboru as he trash talked his way back on defense.
That was so cool, so this is what high school basketball looks like said Haruko excitedly. No way, Ryuu got dunked on, hahahaha said Kayano as he laughed. I like number ten he's funny said Kogure as he smiles. Yukio then points at Kogure signaling him to come into the game. Not bad at all Yukio, keep it up and maybe coach will put me in this game said Kogure. Give me a timeout, please said the coach Arimoto with a disappointed look on his face.
