Chapter 45
45TH QUARTER
WE'LL, LET'S START!
SCANS BY VICISSITUDE
---
IT'S THE SECOND QUARTER OF THE FINALS...
FIRE AND ICE FACE OFF; WHO WILL COME OUT ALIVE?!
---
AH~
THOSE FOUR PLAYERS
THEY'RE BETTER THAN I EXPECTED...
THEY'RE NOTHING FANCY EXCEPT FOR THAT INVISIBLE PLAYER
WE'LL TAKE THEM DOWN!!
LISTEN UP!
YOU GUYS HAVE NO BEEN PLAYING TO YOUR FULL POTENTIAL.
EVEN WITHOUT AOMINE-KUN, WE'VE BEEN WINNING BY A WIDER MARGIN!
MAKE IT LARGER BEFORE THE 2ND QUARTER
HM.
JUST MAINTAINING THIS GAP IS GOOD ENOUGH
---
GOOD JOB--KAGAMI AND KUROKO, SUPPORTING YOUR TEAM LIKE THAT!
HOWEVER, AS FOR THE REST OF YOU--
EH?
DON'T YOU THINK IT'S A LITTLE SHAMEFUL TO BE SO DEPENDENT ON FRESHMEN DURING A GAME LIKE THIS?
WE ARE A TEAM, AND AS SUCH, WE SHOULD PLAY LIKE A TEAM, NO ONE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO OUTSHINE EVERYONE ELSE
AND IF THEY DO--EVERYONE ELSE SHOULD RUN TO CATCH UP!!
YES; I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE SAYING.
---
LET'S SHOW THEM HOW AWESOME SECOND-YEARS ARE!
PASS!
HE'S GOING FOR IT!
HE FELL RIGHT FOR OUR TRAP!
---
[DOUBLE PAGE]
UGH!
HOW CAN HE JUMP SO HIGH?!
GET DOWN HERE ALREADY!!
ISN'T IT IMPOSSIBLE TO STAY UP FOR SO LONG?!
THERE'S NO WAY YOU'LL MAKE THAT BALL IN!
A TWO PERSON BLOCK?!
NO WAY--HE'S GOING
EVEN HIGHER THAN BEFORE?!
---
[NOTHING ON THIS PAGE]
---
THAT GUY IS UNBELIEVABLE!!
TWO PEOPLE--AND HE STILL MADE THE BASKET?!
TRULY AN OPPONENT TO BE WATCHED!
WOW!
GOOD JOB, KAGAMI-KUN!
SWEET WAY OF MAKING IT PAST DEFENSE!
DON'T LET UP NOW!
YEAH--I'M DEFINITELY GOING TO KEEP IT UP--HIGHER!
AFTER ALL, THE MAIN EVENT
ISN'T EVEN HERE YET.
---
TWO MORE SHOTS!
THEN THEIR SCORE WILL BE BEATEN!!
GOGOGOGOGO KAGAMI!!
ARA... THIS IS NOT LOOKING GOOD.
FOR THAT TEAM'S ACE, I MEAN. HE'LL RUN OUT BEFORE AOMINE-KUN ARRIVES...
THAT MOVEMENT!
TSUCHIDA-SAN! GO SWITCH OUT WITH KAGAMI-KUN!
---
AND WHAT IS THIS?! A SWITCH?!
KAGAMI-KUN! COME HERE!
EH?!
WHY ARE YOU SWITCHING ME OUT?!
THIS IS RIDICULOUS!
THE COACH SAW PAST YOUR ACTS--GO REST.
!!
AND THIS IS A SHOCKING DEVELOPMENT--SEIRIN, SWITCHING OUT THEIR HEAD SCORER!
HOW BORING! DO THEY WANT TO LOSE OR SOMETHING?!
KAGAMI?!
WHAT THE--?
---
YOUR LEG.
YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY STILL IN PAIN FROM IT.
EH?
IT'S NOTHING!
PLEASE LET ME PLAY, COACH!
NOT UNTIL WE GET YOU ALL FIXED UP AGAIN.
I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH SUPPLIES, SO BANDAGES AND CREAM WILL HAVE TO DO.
THE TEAM NEEDS ME IN ORDER TO WIN...!
---
IT HAS GOT TO GO IN...!!
DAMN!!
GOT IT!!
---
TOUOU IS NOT LETTING UP ON THE DIFFERENCE!!
DAMN; THE SHEER DIFFERENCE IN HEIGHT; 190 CM VERSUS 193 CM, IS MAKING IT SO THAT THE GAME IS PROGRESSING IN THEIR FAVOR...!
WE HAVE TO TURN THIS SITUATION AROUND!
THIS IS MAINLY BECAUSE THEY SWITCHED OUT AOMINE KUN, SO NOW THAT NUMBER 11 CANNOT BE USED AS WELL.
IT'S RIDICULOUS THAT PLAYERS ONE YEAR OLDER THAN US ARE LACKING SO MUCH.
THIS IS WHY KUROKO WILL NOT SUCCEED.
WELL, NOT EVERYONE CAN BE LIKE US.
---
AND THE SCORE GAP IS WIDENING!
AH--
THE POINTS
I HAVE TO GET OUT THEIR AND HELP THEM!
NO USE WORRYING ABOUT IT; JUST REST.
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND...! I'M THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN STOP THAT GAP FROM DROWNING US ALL!
SHUT UP!
JUST REST AND RECOVER!
BUT...!
(OUR SCORE!)
BESIDES...
---
WE'RE GOING TO NEED YOU MORE IN THE SECOND HALF.
THAT ACE OF THEIR'S SOUNDS INSANE.
THEREFORE, REST UP AND BE PREPARED TO PLAY.
I HATE TO BE THE ONE TO SAY THIS, BUT WITHOUT YOU, WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO FULLY USE KUROKO-KUN EITHER, AND WITHOUT YOU TWO--
THERE IS NO WAY WE'LL BE ABLE TO BEAT TOUOU.
TROUBLESOME, MUCH?
WHAT?
DID YOU NOT GET WHAT I SAID? WE'RE PRETTY MUCH RELYING ON YOU FOR VICTORY HERE, SO REST!
---
WE'RE GOING TO WIN ANYWAYS.
THEREFORE, YOU SHOULD REST YOURSELF--MAKE A GOOD STRATEGY TO BEAT THEM.
AH, WELL, THAT'S GOOD!
VICTORY IS WHAT WE AIM FOR!
OSU!
WHAT'S THIS? SEIRIN SUBBING BACK THEIR ORIGINAL PLAYER?
---
[DOUBLE PAGE]
AH--- AH---
THAT WAS A NICE NAP~
HOPE THE POINT DIFFERENCE ISN'T TOO EMBARRASSING, SINCE I'M NOW IN THE GAME.
YOU---
---
AOMINE!!
HEY YOU! WE'RE SO GLAD YOU FINALLY DECIDED TO SHOW UP!
EH--? BUT DIDN'T I TELL YOU I WOULD COME LATER?
WOAH--BY THE SECOND QUARTER! AND THE POINTS ARE SO LITTLE!
ENOUGH TALK.
START PLAYING.
---
AH, OKOK...
WELL,
LET'S
PLAY A GOOD GAME.
AOMINE DAIKI HAS FINALLY ARRIVED--THE REAL GAME BEGINS NOW?!
