[00:04] ---
    Man, the look in his eyes is so intense...
[00:07] ---
    And that's how he looks after running
    for nearly 30 minutes straight?
[00:11] ---
    Meanwhile, I've only run
    for like 2 or 3 tops.
[00:14] ---
    Shit!
[00:15] ---
    What is it, Chucky?
[00:17] ---
    Nothing, forget what I just said!
[00:19] ---
    Huh?
[00:20] ---
    We don't have to change our
    zone formation, either!
[00:23] ---
    All I gotta do is put a
    stop to their #7, right?
[00:28] ---
    Until Tinytown is back in the game,
[00:31] ---
    I'll shut down #7 even if it means
    I have to slug him in the face!
[00:36] ---
    Kitasumi!
[00:36] ---
    Full-court?!
[00:37] ---
    Let's score!
[00:38] ---
    Kitasumi!
[00:38] ---
    Can their #6 really run enough to cover him?!
[00:39] ---
    Let's score!
[00:41] ---
    Kitasumi!
[00:41] ---
    Again? Give me a break.
[00:42] ---
    Let's score!
[00:44] ---
    Tinytown kept it up for a full 30 minutes.
[00:46] ---
    Lasting a measly 10 minutes
    should be a piece of cake!
[00:50] ---
    Chucky, you brave fool! Men
    like you are one of a kind!
[00:54] ---
    Guys... I'm counting on
    you to handle things here!
[00:58] ---
    Huh?
[01:01] ---
    He shook him off again!
[01:02] ---
    Oh no, Chucky!
[01:03] ---
    Your defense is too weak.
[01:05] ---
    Huh?
[01:11] ---
    WHAAAAAAAAT?!
[01:14] ---
    What the hell are you doing?!
[01:17] ---
    Come back! Come back! Come back!
[01:18] ---
    Nobody said anything about
    doing triangle and 2!
[01:43] ---
    Ahiru no Sora
[02:53] ---
    Come back! Come back! Come back!
[02:55] ---
    Nobody said anything about
    doing triangle and 2!
[02:55] ---
    Now...
[02:59] ---
    If you do that, it'll leave only
    3 of us to defend the middle!
[03:03] ---
    Triangle and 2?
[03:05] ---
    Two defenders mark a single opposing player, while
[03:08] ---
    the rest defend the basket in a zone formation.
[03:10] ---
    Just leave them be.
[03:12] ---
    Huh?
[03:12] ---
    They're both half-assed
    players to begin with.
[03:15] ---
    Putting the two of them together
    might actually accomplish something.
[03:18] ---
    Oh, good point. That makes sense.
[03:20] ---
    It doesn't make sense! What the hell are
    the 3 of us left behind supposed to do now?!
[03:25] ---
    Their 2 low post players are nearly here!
    Chiaki and I will just have to hold firm in the middle!
[03:29] ---
    Kite! Don't stray too far out of the zone!
[03:33] ---
    They're really doing everything they can
    to shut Taro down.
[03:36] ---
    It's a pretty drastic strategy to rely on.
[03:39] ---
    It just ended up like that on
    a whim, but.... it could work.
[03:43] ---
    Don't let him get past
    you on that side, Nabe!
[03:46] ---
    We're fine as long as you don't screw it up!
[03:50] ---
    Close call!
[03:53] ---
    Everyone's counting on me to cover for Tinytown!
[03:55] ---
    I'm not letting you past me without a fight!
[03:58] ---
    Chucky...
[04:00] ---
    Taro! Pass the ball back!
[04:08] ---
    We let him slip right past us!
[04:10] ---
    Idiots!
[04:12] ---
    That's what happens when you both
    take your eyes off the ball!
[04:15] ---
    Huh?
[04:17] ---
    Right back at you.
[04:18] ---
    A steal!
[04:19] ---
    Whoa! Nice, Kite!
[04:21] ---
    Wh-wh-wh-wh... WHAT?!
[04:24] ---
    The pillar that's holding their zone defense together
    is definitely that #11.
[04:29] ---
    Huh?
[04:30] ---
    Their #8 and #5 both caused a lot of holes
    in their defense, but thanks to help from #11
[04:34] ---
    they've been avoiding any major disasters.
[04:37] ---
    He's also been the source of
    about 60% of their points.
[04:40] ---
    No way! Back off!
[04:42] ---
    Give me the ball! I'm gonna score enough
    to make their heads spin!
[04:45] ---
    I see what he's doing.
[04:46] ---
    Since they've lost one of
    their offensive players,
[04:49] ---
    he's trying to keep the defense focused
    on himself instead.
[04:53] ---
    I'm quite impressed.
[04:54] ---
    We're going to have to go
    all-in to put a stop to him.
[05:00] ---
    Kite... he's looking really worn out.
[05:13] ---
    They're going for a double team, too?!
[05:15] ---
    An eye for an eye. Or something like that.
[05:19] ---
    Are you sure two is gonna be enough, old man?
[05:27] ---
    He slipped right in-between them!
    Holy shit! That's awesome!
[05:33] ---
    He got stopped!
[05:34] ---
    Our help moved faster than him!
[05:37] ---
    He's surrounded!
[05:38] ---
    A triple team?!
[05:39] ---
    Bunch of morons!
[05:43] ---
    We got the ball! It's a turnover!
[05:44] ---
    Go now! Get moving! Make a fast break!
[05:47] ---
    Kite!
[05:49] ---
    The defense is wide open!
[05:51] ---
    You're not getting by me, dammit!
[06:00] ---
    Konishi!
[06:03] ---
    Kuzuryu
    Kitasumiyoshi
[06:04] ---
    Whoa! Nice teamwork!
[06:06] ---
    Way to go, Konishi!
[06:09] ---
    Shit!
[06:11] ---
    Our team is going to win.
[06:14] ---
    You punk...
[06:15] ---
    Listen up, Momoharu. Kite.
[06:18] ---
    We've only got a minute left.
[06:19] ---
    We have to finish this quarter with the lead.
[06:22] ---
    It'll keep our momentum
    and give us an edge in the last quarter!
[06:25] ---
    Boys! Go and get on 'em quick!
    Push for that comeback!
[06:38] ---
    They've switched over to full-court D!
[06:40] ---
    Wh-what kind of defense is this?!
[06:43] ---
    The 2-2-1 zone press!
[06:48] ---
    Defense! Defense! Defense! Defense!
[06:51] ---
    Get up in their faces!
[06:52] ---
    There is a proper time and place
    to use a full-court defense, you know.
[07:03] ---
    Kitasumi! Kitasumi! Kitasumi!
[07:04] ---
    Nice cut!
[07:11] ---
    The lead is ours!
[07:11] ---
    Kuzuryu
    Kitasumiyoshi
[07:12] ---
    Hell yeah! Let's go!
[07:14] ---
    Hurry and pass the ball in!
    If we don't spread out fast, they'll snatch it again!
[07:18] ---
    Watch out for steals!
[07:23] ---
    Sweet! He got past 'em!
[07:25] ---
    No... they set him up!
[07:30] ---
    A back tip steal!
[07:36] ---
    Kuzuryu
    Kitasumiyoshi
[07:36] ---
    Awesome! Two baskets in
    a row, just like that!
[07:39] ---
    Yeah! Show them who's boss, Senpai!
[07:41] ---
    Kitasumi! Kitasumi! Kitasumi!
[07:45] ---
    Well shit, we're screwed
    without another decent dribbler on our side.
[07:50] ---
    Dammit!
[07:52] ---
    How many times am I gonna let
    Konishi get the better of me?!
[07:55] ---
    All it took was a damn press
    to make us totally fall apart.
[07:58] ---
    We're still a pretty pathetic team.
[08:00] ---
    I haven't even done much, but
    I'm suddenly exhausted...
[08:03] ---
    What is up with this defense?!
    We can't do a damn thing!
[08:07] ---
    The momentum totally shifted
    to the other team in an instant.
[08:11] ---
    Hey, Nanao...
[08:14] ---
    Everybody work together to
    get the ball down the court!
[08:16] ---
    Be careful not to get an 8-second violation!
[08:19] ---
    Hey, Nanao.
[08:24] ---
    Uh, what is it? I couldn't hear you.
[08:27] ---
    I've rested long enough.
[08:31] ---
    Let's make a substitution.
[08:35] ---
    A substitution? But there are only 30 seconds left in the third quarter!
[08:41] ---
    I'm fully aware of that.
[08:45] ---
    But...
[08:48] ---
    Kuzuryu
    Kitasumiyoshi
[08:51] ---
    ...I have to get out there.
[08:54] ---
    Right now!
[08:57] ---
    Defense! Defense! Defense!
[08:58] ---
    All right.
[09:00] ---
    Defense! Defense! Defense!
[09:02] ---
    Out of bounds! Kuzuryu ball!
[09:09] ---
    Player substitution for Kuzuryu High!
[09:15] ---
    Nanano must be an idiot.
[09:17] ---
    We're stressed out enough, adding another
[09:20] ---
    good-for-nothing is only going to make it worse.
[09:22] ---
    Hey, Kite. You're subbing out.
[09:24] ---
    Huh?
[09:25] ---
    "Natsume is giving us a bad rep
    by looking like a deadbeat out there."
[09:29] ---
    Nanao's orders.
[09:31] ---
    I never said anything like that!
[09:33] ---
    Wh-what a relief...
[09:36] ---
    Oh, hey, Nabe!
[09:37] ---
    Huh?
[09:38] ---
    That was the best triangle
    and 2 I've ever seen!
[09:41] ---
    Nice defense!
[09:43] ---
    I see... so my defense is the best ever, huh?
[09:46] ---
    Then maybe I'll go back out later!
[09:48] ---
    I've had it up to here with these guys,
    they're all so self-absorbed!
[09:52] ---
    The training camp changed
    absolutely nothing about them!
[09:55] ---
    Listen up! Nobody hold on
    to the ball for too long!
[09:57] ---
    We know. Just set me some screens.
[10:00] ---
    Chucky. If they press us again, try not to panic.
    Watch your surroundings closely.
[10:07] ---
    I guess they have changed a little.
[10:10] ---
    Considering the height difference,
    she should have kept #8 in.
[10:13] ---
    That was a pretty reckless substitution.
[10:16] ---
    Kuzuryu
    Kitasumiyoshi
[10:16] ---
    Well, only 30 seconds left.
    Let's see how many times we can score on them.
[10:22] ---
    Okay, they've got him cornered!
[10:24] ---
    #7 can't move very fast!
[10:25] ---
    Let's steal and score again!
[10:27] ---
    Don't stop moving!
[10:29] ---
    Hurry and get into an open pass window!
[10:31] ---
    Hey, Chiaki!
[10:41] ---
    Ah, this is much better.
[10:43] ---
    I'd rather be on the court
    than the bench no matter how tired I am!
[10:47] ---
    Although, I do feel bad for rebelling
    against Nanano and ignoring her orders...
[11:01] ---
    Everyone else is out here giving their all.
    I can't just take it easy!
[11:05] ---
    Okay!
[11:06] ---
    Don't worry!
[11:08] ---
    We'll definitely catch up with them!
[11:11] ---
    Dumbass. Nobody needs you to tell them that.
[11:14] ---
    I don't really know why, but I feel
    a lot more confident with him on the court.
[11:19] ---
    Don't show off too much.
[11:22] ---
    He went straight for it!
[11:24] ---
    But he's not getting by our guys!
[11:25] ---
    Hey! Enjoy your little nap?
[11:29] ---
    He's right at the sideline!
[11:30] ---
    They've got him cornered!
[11:31] ---
    Taro! Behind you! It's a screen!
[11:34] ---
    Weak sauce. That won't work on me!
[11:39] ---
    WHAT THE-?!
[11:41] ---
    He just straight-up ignored
    my brilliant screen!
[11:44] ---
    Hot damn, he blew past both defenders!
[11:46] ---
    Hey ref!
[11:47] ---
    Are you sure he didn't cross
    the line with that move?!
[11:51] ---
    Once again, his ability to cut in
    proves essential to the team.
[11:54] ---
    #4 has it now!
[11:55] ---
    Don't let him get through!
[11:59] ---
    Whoa! Nice return pass!
[12:03] ---
    You're too easy! Such a piece of cake!
[12:06] ---
    I bet your granny calls you a "sweet boy"!
[12:09] ---
    What's wrong? You look out of breath!
[12:12] ---
    Are you sure you shouldn't
    be watching from the bench?!
[12:15] ---
    He's not stopping!
[12:17] ---
    Is he seriously going for it?!
[12:19] ---
    I'm the best player here!
[12:20] ---
    You're nothing but a crazy nutjob!
[12:27] ---
    Goddamn! Could you have made
    that pass any harder to catch?!
[12:31] ---
    Go ask Chiaki to give you
    some passing lessons, dumbass!
[12:35] ---
    Kuzuryu
    Kitasumiyoshi
[12:35] ---
    He nailed it!
[12:37] ---
    Give me some cash, I'm
    making sure Kite gets paid.
[12:39] ---
    Get your own, dammit!
[12:41] ---
    Crap, they broke through our
    press defense and scored!
[12:44] ---
    Now we're only 3 points ahead!
[12:46] ---
    There's nothing to panic about.
    It won't kill our momentum.
[12:50] ---
    We'll score the last basket
    and end this quarter with a 5-point lead.
[12:57] ---
    What?! Defending before
    the ball even goes in?!
[13:00] ---
    Ready, Chucky?
[13:01] ---
    You know it!
[13:03] ---
    There's still a few seconds left on the clock!
    Let's get that ball and score another basket!
[13:08] ---
    Those dumbasses!
[13:09] ---
    There's hardly any time left
    anyway! Let's back them up!
[13:12] ---
    Seriously...?
[13:17] ---
    What are you doing?! Hurry
    and pass it out of there!
[13:20] ---
    Only 6 seconds left!
[13:25] ---
    That ball is ours!
[13:34] ---
    Over here!
[13:36] ---
    Hey, Chucky!
[13:42] ---
    The pass went through!
[13:43] ---
    Chucky! CHUCKY!
[13:48] ---
    Sora...
[13:50] ---
    Taro! Don't let him shoot a three!
[13:52] ---
    You don't have to tell me!
[13:54] ---
    This brat is nearly dead on his feet!
[13:56] ---
    There's no way I'm letting
    him score one on us!
[13:58] ---
    I will.
[14:12] ---
    That's the end of the third quarter!
[14:14] ---
    Wha-wha-wha-wha-wha-wha-wha-?!
[14:16] ---
    Insane...
[14:18] ---
    Kuzuryu
    Kitasumiyoshi
[14:18] ---
    Th-they tied it up?!
[14:20] ---
    Ow, ow...
[14:24] ---
    I'm so glad that went in.
[14:26] ---
    That little punk!
[14:27] ---
    I'm definitely gonna make him pay for this!
[14:30] ---
    Yo, are you all right?
[14:31] ---
    Thanks, Chucky.
[14:36] ---
    That was a nice pass!
[14:38] ---
    Thanks!
[14:39] ---
    Man, that kid really is something else.
[14:42] ---
    I could've tied us just as easily.
[14:46] ---
    I told him not to show off!
[14:50] ---
    It's the last quarter of the game
    and the score is all tied up.
[14:53] ---
    Kuzuryu
    Kitasumiyoshi
[14:54] ---
    I bet nobody expected that.
[14:57] ---
    We can win this! We WILL win this!
[15:00] ---
    Listen, I want everybody to review what we practiced
    
[15:02] ---
    during training in their heads one last time!
[15:05] ---
    Especially our defensive formations!
[15:06] ---
    We need to watch out for #7
    coming at us from long-range.
[15:09] ---
    He's definitely started to
    find his stride out there.
[15:11] ---
    Right!
[15:13] ---
    No problem.
[15:14] ---
    I won't let him get open
    to take a shot that easily!
[15:16] ---
    Y-you can count on me for some points, too!
[15:18] ---
    I promise I'll do everything
    I can not to get ejected!
[15:21] ---
    I'm ready to sub in for anybody!
[15:23] ---
    So go out there and play
    until you're ready to drop!
[15:25] ---
    If we manage to win this game...
[15:29] ---
    ...let's all go out for BBQ.
[15:33] ---
    Why does it have to be BBQ?
[15:36] ---
    Because I'm really hungry.
[15:38] ---
    Dude, I don't have that kind of money.
[15:40] ---
    Don't sweat it. We've got financial backing.
[15:46] ---
    I like this plan.
[15:48] ---
    Now that you mention it,
    my tummy's been grumbling for a while now.
[15:50] ---
    Stop right there! I never
    agreed to pay for anything!
[15:53] ---
    Just so you know, I paid for this training camp
    out of my own pocket!
[15:57] ---
    Do you boys think teachers
    are made out of money?!
[16:01] ---
    Calm down, Mr. Satsuki.
[16:02] ---
    BBQ! BBQ! BBQ!
[16:03] ---
    Please just go ahead and
    make the promise with them.
[16:06] ---
    We'll have our hands full if
    they start causing a riot.
[16:08] ---
    Yes, but...
[16:09] ---
    You don't have to worry.
    They can't win anyway.
[16:13] ---
    BBQ! BBQ! BBQ!
[16:18] ---
    Think about it, a team like ours that
[16:20] ---
    just got their start stands no chance against a veteran school.
[16:25] ---
    Fair enough.
[16:26] ---
    V-very well then!
[16:26] ---
    BBQ! BBQ! BBQ!
[16:28] ---
    I'll treat you to BBQ if
    you win. So do your best!
[16:31] ---
    YES!
[16:33] ---
    You know, I really like our teach.
[16:36] ---
    All right!
[16:37] ---
    We're totally gonna win this thing!
[16:40] ---
    I overheard you, manager.
[16:42] ---
    So, that's what you really think about us?
[16:45] ---
    I was lying, obviously.
[16:47] ---
    I did it to help spur everyone on.
[16:49] ---
    And also so we can chow down on BBQ!
[16:51] ---
    I've done more than enough of cooking
    for all of you guys!
[16:56] ---
    What a schemer...
[16:58] ---
    Something the matter?
[17:01] ---
    What are you talking about?
[17:03] ---
    Well, you seem kinda off your game.
[17:04] ---
    Despite all the rebounds you made
    in the Maru high game,
[17:07] ---
    you've barely made any today.
[17:09] ---
    Quit nitpicking. Just leave me alone.
[17:12] ---
    Where are you going, Momoharu?
[17:14] ---
    To take a piss.
[17:22] ---
    Dammit, Konishi! Are you listening?!
[17:25] ---
    Uh, yessir!
[17:27] ---
    Look, you are going to be
    our key player in the last quarter.
[17:30] ---
    As long as they're playing zone D,
    then it's a battle between centers.
[17:33] ---
    Stick to the low-post alongside Tachibana.
    If you do a good job at...
[17:40] ---
    How awesome, Konishi!
    Despite being a freshman, everyone's relying on you!
[17:44] ---
    Do the rest of us proud out there! Okay?
[17:50] ---
    Their center has yet to score any baskets.
[17:53] ---
    From what I can tell it seems like
    he's hardly tried to shoot at all.
[17:57] ---
    Their #4 has some serious
    height, but that's about it.
[18:00] ---
    All I remember him doing
    was that crazy jump ball at the start.
[18:04] ---
    Hm, these numbers seem very strange to me.
[18:07] ---
    Perhaps he's not confident
    in his ability to shoot?
[18:09] ---
    If that was true, it would make
    him a lot easier to defend.
[18:13] ---
    Should we leave him some
    room and see how it goes?
[18:15] ---
    Actually, hey Konishi, isn't this the same guy
    you used to play with?
[18:19] ---
    Uh, yes.
[18:20] ---
    Was he bad at scoring back in middle school?
[18:22] ---
    Um, well, that...
[18:26] ---
    ...that wasn't the case at all.
[18:27] ---
    I honestly think that he's
    just off of his game today.
[18:32] ---
    He just lied...
[18:35] ---
    Hmm. That probably means he's been focused on
[18:37] ---
    providing extra support for the last three quarters.
[18:40] ---
    And I can't forget that #11
    and #15 are pretty fatigued.
[18:43] ---
    So, that means we should focus
    on shoring up our defense in the middle.
[18:46] ---
    With Konishi as our core player,
    Tachibana and Hasebe will provide cover.
[18:49] ---
    Katori will...
[18:53] ---
    The interval is over! The
    final quarter will now begin!
[18:57] ---
    Come tears or laughs, this
    is the end of it all!
[19:00] ---
    Let's cap off our training
    camp with a big victory, guys!
[19:02] ---
    Yeah!
[19:04] ---
    Listen up! If you boys can't win this,
    then you have no right to even try for the inter-high!
[19:09] ---
    Get out there and completely crush them!
[19:11] ---
    Yessir!
[19:16] ---
    I'm in love with Nao.
[19:21] ---
    I'll win this game, and
    then start dating her!
[19:25] ---
    Nanao is the manager for our team.
    I won't let you have her.
[19:31] ---
    Throw-in. Kitasumi's ball!
[19:35] ---
    Okay, this is it. Let's throw
    everything we have at 'em!
[19:40] ---
    Crap, it's that shorty again!
[19:42] ---
    And their zone D is even
    tighter in the middle now!
[19:44] ---
    It's gotten tougher to score
    from both the inside and outside!
[19:48] ---
    Good grief. You really are
    just a one-trick pony!
[19:51] ---
    And let me tell you,
    I know plenty of ways to deal with those!
[19:55] ---
    Corner to corner...
[19:57] ---
    He's intentionally getting
    farther from the ball?!
[20:02] ---
    They're doing an...
[20:03] ---
    ...overload formation!
[20:07] ---
    Oh! The overload!
[20:10] ---
    So, what's that?
[20:10] ---
    Yeah, what?
[20:11] ---
    Let me explain...
[20:13] ---
    An overload formation focuses all of
    the offensive players on one side of the court,
[20:18] ---
    which effectively pulls the members
    of the defense towards them.
[20:22] ---
    With one well-placed pass,
    they can easily force 2-on-1 or 3-on-2 situations,
[20:28] ---
    so it's disastrous if one of
    them gets to the opposite side.
[20:31] ---
    No matter what we do,
    humans simply can't compete with the speed of a pass.
[20:35] ---
    Our defense has to respond
    to this carefully or else...
[20:43] ---
    Watch the other side! Adjust your positions!
[20:49] ---
    He got it!
[20:50] ---
    The centers are facing off!
[20:59] ---
    Trying to get me with another fake?!
[21:11] ---
    Defensive foul on #4! Basket
    counts! One free-throw!
[21:19] ---
    That's not enough... for
    you to beat our team.
[21:25] ---
    Dammit! Don't fuck with me!
[21:28] ---
    What's up, Momoharu?
[21:30] ---
    It's nothing!
[21:38] ---
    The day that you quit playing basketball...
[21:40] ---
    ...do you remember what it
    is you said to me, Senpai?
[21:45] ---
    Huh?
[21:48] ---
    Back then... you lied straight to my face...
[21:52] ---
    ...and I have never forgiven you for it.
