"So, that is what you mean by faith, huh?" Sekine nodded in approval. "Ont bad, Brat."
A small, genuine smile suddenly formed on Akira's face, not because he heard his old mentor's praise, but at the sight of his players celebrating on the court for the successful play before. Gone was the tense atmosphere around his players, as they started to have a smile on their faces. That sight had never appeared again since Yuki was out of the game, so he was glad that the team could smile once again during the game, showing they started to regain their confidence again, and that was because of one player's stubborn effort to break the opponent's brick wall.
