[00:02] ---
    Listen up, squirt! You're not on anybody's radar!
[00:05] ---
    The only winner here is me!
[00:07] ---
    Senpai...
[00:08] ---
    Huh?
[00:10] ---
    Basketball isn't some merciful sport
    that you can just crawl back to...
[00:13] ---
    ...after you made the choice to drop out.
[00:17] ---
    Shit, was he always this good?!
[00:26] ---
    Nice pass, Koney!
[00:28] ---
    Just watch me, you damn pipsqueak!
[00:30] ---
    I'm DEFINITELY going to leave you in the dust!
[00:34] ---
    Acceleration Mode....on!
[00:38] ---
    Taro?!
[00:39] ---
    Huh?!
[00:42] ---
    That shot is off!
[00:44] ---
    It's going to come down near you, Momoharu!
[00:45] ---
    Rebound!
[00:46] ---
    I know already!
[00:49] ---
    We've been at this for more than
    20 minutes straight now... so how?!
[00:53] ---
    All right, Kato! Gimme that ball!
[00:57] ---
    I'm out?
[00:59] ---
    This is... a direct order from your coach.
[01:06] ---
    Goddammit...
[01:08] ---
    Goddammit!
[01:09] ---
    I can keep going!
[01:11] ---
    I know I can still run!
[01:17] ---
    I'm the top scorer here.
[01:18] ---
    Just try and stop me if you can!
[01:25] ---
    They've switched over to full-court D!
[01:31] ---
    Hey Nanao.
[01:33] ---
    Let's make a substitution.
[01:36] ---
    Taro! Behind you! It's a screen!
[01:39] ---
    Weak sauce. That won't work on me!
[01:44] ---
    He just straight-up ignored my brilliant screen!
[01:47] ---
    You're nothing but a crazy nutjob!
[01:53] ---
    Huh?!
[01:54] ---
    Goddamn! Could you have made that pass
    any harder to catch?!
[01:58] ---
    Go ask Chiaki to give you
    some passing lessons, dumbass!
[02:05] ---
    The pass went through!
[02:06] ---
    This brat is nearly dead on his feet!
[02:08] ---
    There's no way I'm letting him score one on us!
[02:10] ---
    I will.
[02:20] ---
    Rebound!
[02:27] ---
    Ugh, that damn idiot!
[02:29] ---
    Momoharu!
[02:32] ---
    Show me one more time, what it looks like to fly!
[02:39] ---
    Having a 9-point lead is total chump change!
[02:41] ---
    We're gonna tie it right back up!
[02:43] ---
    Whoa!
[02:45] ---
    What a jump!
[02:46] ---
    HELL YEAH!
[02:49] ---
    I have a proposition.
[02:50] ---
    Do you think you can commit
    to being our point guard for a bit?
[02:53] ---
    Huh?
[02:57] ---
    I'm going... to score us some points.
[03:00] ---
    Huh? Wait...
[03:03] ---
    Are you up for it?
[03:05] ---
    I'll do whatever it takes.
[03:07] ---
    No matter what... I'm not letting us lose this game!

[04:41] ---
    You want me... as point guard?
[04:43] ---
    Last Play
[04:45] ---
    Yeah.
[04:46] ---
    I don't expect you to start doing it right away, though.
[04:48] ---
    But, wait, then what's Chiaki going to do?
[04:51] ---
    Well, I've been thinking about the balance of our team,
[04:52] ---
    Hey Kite!
[04:53] ---
    Huh?
[04:54] ---
    and I came to the conclusion that it's a waste
    to have Chiaki as point guard with all his height.
[04:54] ---
    Come on! Let's do some Dribbling Sumo!
[04:56] ---
    No way!
[04:56] ---
    Sumo?
[04:58] ---
    Given that our team is lacking players, it's important
    to have the right person in the right position.
[05:04] ---
    It's possible that Chiaki might be able
    to go on the offensive instead.
[05:08] ---
    Meanwhile, that means you can take control of the game,
[05:11] ---
    and use your skills to dominate
    from outside the three-point line.
[05:15] ---
    I think that arrangement would make our team
    a lot stronger than it is now!
[05:20] ---
    Let's get back in the lead, one basket at a time!
[05:24] ---
    Hm? #15 switched over to taking possession of the ball.
[05:28] ---
    Kurumatani...
[05:30] ---
    Their #7 is heading for low-post!
[05:32] ---
    Katori! Change your man!
[05:33] ---
    Watch out above you!
[05:36] ---
    I get it! Because Chiaki is so tall, we can net
    some easy points if he's close to the basket!
[05:40] ---
    The situation isn't as simple as you think.
[05:44] ---
    We're not going to be able to pass through their defense
    as easily as we did before.
[05:49] ---
    Good passing requires high precision
    and height lends itself to that.
[05:53] ---
    Being able to play basketball and being able to play
    as point guard are two totally different things.
[05:59] ---
    Going off the cuff like this might end poorly.
[06:02] ---
    On top of that, there's one thing
    I never explained to Kurumatani.
[06:05] ---
    When a player like him switches over
    to being point guard, they lose something important.
[06:10] ---
    And what's that?
[06:12] ---
    The ability to be assertive.
[06:13] ---
    Switch!
[06:15] ---
    Don't leave him open!
[06:18] ---
    Chiaki!
[06:20] ---
    Dammit!
[06:22] ---
    Crap! He got himself trapped!
[06:25] ---
    Don't you think Tinytown could've just gone
    for a three there instead?
[06:28] ---
    There's a whole 24 seconds on the shot clock.
[06:30] ---
    The common approach for everybody on offense
    is to use that time to its fullest and not rush.
[06:35] ---
    Kite...
[06:37] ---
    Missing a three in the first few seconds that results
    in a turnover is absolutely something to avoid.
[06:43] ---
    Plus...
[06:44] ---
    The more focused you are on how to move the ball
    around, the less inclined you are to try and score.
[06:50] ---
    That's especially true for a shooter like him.
[06:53] ---
    And now...
[06:54] ---
    ...he can't shoot three-pointers the same way anymore.
[06:59] ---
    Bad pass!
[07:01] ---
    You pushed it way too far inside!
[07:03] ---
    Nabe! Get on #5! Don't let him run free!
[07:10] ---
    Crap! I screwed that up!
[07:13] ---
    Defensive foul on #8!
[07:15] ---
    Sorry, guys.
[07:16] ---
    Forget it.
[07:16] ---
    Their fouls have started to pile up!
[07:18] ---
    Just one more and they'll have five team fouls!
[07:21] ---
    Don't cower away from them.
[07:24] ---
    They'll steal chickenshit passes like that every time.
[07:27] ---
    You can't help being small...
[07:29] ---
    ...so make bold moves instead.
[07:33] ---
    Right!
[07:40] ---
    Ms. Yuka Kurumatani...?!
[07:46] ---
    I take it you must be Madoka.
[07:48] ---
    Uh, yes!
[07:49] ---
    My mother had a lot to say about you.
[07:52] ---
    Oh, that lady...
[07:55] ---
    I was surprised to learn you were
    Ms. Yabuuchi's little sister. Such a small world!
[07:59] ---
    I wouldn't have agreed to come here otherwise!
[08:02] ---
    I hear that you've been doing a lot
    for my little Sora. Thank you.
[08:06] ---
    Not at all.
[08:07] ---
    Wow... she's really beautiful!
[08:13] ---
    That's the sound of Sora running.
[08:15] ---
    You can tell?! That's amazing!
[08:18] ---
    There's a distinctive tempo in how he slides.
[08:21] ---
    He's got a number of quirks like that.
[08:24] ---
    I guess he hasn't developed much as an athlete yet.
[08:27] ---
    Um, how about we go take a look inside?
[08:30] ---
    There's not much time left in the fourth quarte-
[08:32] ---
    No. I'm content with staying here.
[08:35] ---
    Huh? Um, but...
[08:37] ---
    I just wanted to feel the excitement of the game in the air.
[08:40] ---
    I didn't come here intending to do anything more.
[08:43] ---
    Ms. Yabuuchi, I think that my 10 minutes are up.
    Are we okay on time?
[08:47] ---
    Your 10 minutes were up
    before we even left the hospital!
[08:49] ---
    But, um, maybe you could just...
[08:53] ---
    ...take a quick look from afar?
[08:54] ---
    Madoka.
[08:57] ---
    I'm afraid we can't take the time.
[08:59] ---
    Since we snuck out of the hospital without permission.
[09:08] ---
    Um, then...
[09:10] ---
    Is there anything that you would like me to do?
[09:13] ---
    Perhaps deliver a message?
[09:15] ---
    Oh! I could send you some pictures of him
    during practice from my phone!
[09:18] ---
    I appreciate the thought, but that's not necessary.
[09:22] ---
    But...
[09:31] ---
    Actually... there is one thing that you could do for me.
[09:36] ---
    Will you... make sure that Sora gets this?
[09:40] ---
    A handmade charm...
[09:43] ---
    Are you sure that's all you want me to do?
[09:44] ---
    Yes. Oh, but please don't tell Sora
    that this bracelet came from me.
[09:49] ---
    Huh?
[09:50] ---
    Would you be willing to just let him think
    it's a gift from you?
[09:53] ---
    I mean, as far as Sora knows, I'm still in the dark
    about him coming to school here.
[09:59] ---
    After that, he took the entrance exams
    for schools out here.
[10:02] ---
    And eventually came stumbling into my house.
[10:05] ---
    His dad thought this would be the best thing for him.
[10:07] ---
    Even though his mom told him not to come here?
[10:10] ---
    Yeah.
[10:11] ---
    He's keeping it all a big secret from her.
[10:14] ---
    So that he can go visit her the instant
    he wins that tournament.
[10:18] ---
    Um, okay, but I really don't think
    he'll accept a gift from me...
[10:21] ---
    Don't worry, you're totally Sora's type.
    I'm sure he'd be overjoyed!
[10:25] ---
    Um, no way, I'm sure you're just exaggerating.
[10:29] ---
    So you won't do it?
[10:31] ---
    Uh, well, I think I can handle it.
[10:34] ---
    Thank you.
[10:41] ---
    Well then, please take good care of it.
[10:44] ---
    Yes, of course.
[10:45] ---
    I'll make sure that Sora gets it!
[10:48] ---
    I'm so sorry for making you put up
    with my selfishness, Ms. Yabuuchi.
[10:52] ---
    Uh-huh, sure. It's fine, just forget about it.
[10:55] ---
    See you later then, Madoka.
[10:57] ---
    Oh, sure.
[11:02] ---
    Tell me something, Madoka.
[11:04] ---
    Yes?
[11:06] ---
    Is my son...
[11:10] ---
    ...having a good time playing basketball?
[11:16] ---
    Yes.
[11:24] ---
    A steal!
[11:26] ---
    He cut Taro off!
[11:27] ---
    Unbelievable!
[11:29] ---
    This brat... I thought he had run out of steam!
[11:32] ---
    Switch back to defense! Don't let them into the center!
[11:35] ---
    My body feels so light.
[11:37] ---
    I thought I was too tapped out to run anymore.
[11:42] ---
    But now I feel like... I have the wind at my back!
[11:49] ---
    Look at that! He's totally free!
[11:50] ---
    I see. This must be what having peace of mind is like.
[11:55] ---
    I can feel Chiaki behind me...
    he's encouraging me to fight on!
[11:59] ---
    A two-handed shot?!
[12:02] ---
    It's a three-pointer!
[12:04] ---
    It's going to miss!
[12:05] ---
    It'll bounce off!
[12:15] ---
    An alley-oop?!
[12:16] ---
    He intended for it to be a pass from the get-go.
[12:20] ---
    Amazing! I've never seen one in person!
[12:26] ---
    Your timing was a little off.
[12:29] ---
    Right!
[12:30] ---
    Only three minutes left.
[12:32] ---
    We WILL turn this around.
[12:47] ---
    There was a foul!
[12:50] ---
    Oh crap!
[12:52] ---
    Defensive foul! The basket counts!
[12:54] ---
    All right!
[12:55] ---
    Sick move.
[12:56] ---
    Thanks!
[12:58] ---
    No way...
[12:59] ---
    That's the third basket #7 has made
    since going on the offensive!
[13:02] ---
    Kuzuryu Kitasumiyoshi
[13:02] ---
    Yeah, and we haven't gotten any rebounds
    since their #4 started to pull himself together.
[13:07] ---
    But wait, if their #7 could score like this, then why did
    he wait so long to actually shoot any baskets?!
[13:13] ---
    The answer is simple,
    it's because he wasn't capable of doing so.
[13:16] ---
    Huh?
[13:18] ---
    His passes and leadership are quite impressive,
    but unfortunately, he's not fast on his feet.
[13:24] ---
    I assume it's too difficult for him
    to drive to the basket alone.
[13:27] ---
    And of course, he probably can't shoot long-range.
[13:30] ---
    Katori realized this early on and adjusted his defense
    to assure #7 didn't make it into the paint.
[13:37] ---
    For real?
[13:43] ---
    Oh crap! I can't believe I screwed that up!
[13:45] ---
    Rebound!
[13:47] ---
    Damn, he stole the prime position!
[13:51] ---
    Here we go!
[13:54] ---
    Holy cow!
[13:55] ---
    I threw my entire body weight at him
    and he didn't even budge!
[13:58] ---
    I can't believe he's powerful enough to do that!
[14:02] ---
    Tachibana, get under the basket!
[14:04] ---
    Don't let him shoot freely!
[14:10] ---
    A pass?!
[14:12] ---
    Somebody get on #15! Taro,
    what the hell are you doing?!
[14:16] ---
    I let my guard down!
[14:17] ---
    Their #7 wasn't even looking this way
    when he passed! How the hell?!
[14:21] ---
    Shit!
[14:24] ---
    And right in front of Nao, that bastard!
[14:27] ---
    It's a three!
[14:29] ---
    Go in!
[14:33] ---
    It... it went in...
[14:36] ---
    Hell yeah!
[14:38] ---
    Kuzuryu Kitasumiyoshi
[14:38] ---
    Only a 4-point difference!
[14:40] ---
    We've nearly turned this around!
[14:42] ---
    Th-this is insane...
[14:43] ---
    I can't believe they caught up with us
    in such a short amount of time!
[14:46] ---
    That kid should be well beyond the peak
    of his fatigue by now!
[14:50] ---
    What is he made out of?!
[14:57] ---
    Out of bounds!
[14:59] ---
    Throw-in with Kitasumi in possession!
[15:01] ---
    Oh man, Nabe! That was so close!
[15:04] ---
    Player substitution for Kuzuryu High!
[15:08] ---
    Hey, Nanao.
[15:10] ---
    Where did you learn to do athletic taping like this?
[15:12] ---
    Uh, why do you ask?
    You know how my family runs a sports shop.
[15:15] ---
    We have a lot of customers who are professional trainers,
[15:18] ---
    so I learned some from them
    and then I studied the rest myself.
[15:21] ---
    I'm sorry. Did I put it on too tight or something?
[15:24] ---
    No. Thank you, you saved my ass.
[15:27] ---
    Now I can keep running without holding myself back.
[15:30] ---
    Defense! Defense! Defense!
[15:32] ---
    There's hardly any time left in the game!
[15:34] ---
    Do whatever you can to keep them from scoring!
[15:36] ---
    Shore up under the basket!
    And don't let #7 get free no matter what!
[15:42] ---
    I'm so stupid!
[15:43] ---
    Did I forget what I came here to do?!
[15:46] ---
    Did I forget what drove me to join this team?!
[15:50] ---
    I did it... to make sure these guys win, dammit!
[15:54] ---
    It got knocked away!
[15:55] ---
    Loose ball!
[15:58] ---
    Whatever you do, don't let go!
[15:58] ---
    Yasu!
[16:00] ---
    Listen, shitheads... you'll have to kill me
    before I let this ball go!
[16:05] ---
    Held ball!
[16:06] ---
    Throw-in with Kuzu High in possession!
[16:08] ---
    All right!
[16:12] ---
    Nice work, Yasuhara.
[16:14] ---
    That whistle freaked me out, I thought I'd fouled again.
[16:20] ---
    We gotta make this possession count.
[16:22] ---
    If we can't score,
    then kiss our chances of winning goodbye!
[16:24] ---
    Hey, Yasuhara, if you get the ball,
    then feel free to go for the shot.
[16:27] ---
    Right!
[16:30] ---
    Guys... we're gonna win this. No matter what!
[16:33] ---
    That ball is going in the basket!
    Watch out for fouls, guys!
[16:37] ---
    Okay!
[16:37] ---
    Shoot it in! Let's win! Shoot it in! Let's win!
[16:41] ---
    Do your best out there... Sora!
[16:46] ---
    Defense! Defense! Defense! Defense!
[16:49] ---
    Shoot it in! Let's win! Shoot it in! Let's win!
[16:51] ---
    Here they come! Keep them out of the paint!
[16:54] ---
    Right!
[16:55] ---
    Shoot it in! Let's win!
[17:01] ---
    That low?!
[17:03] ---
    Konishi! They're coming from both sides!
[17:05] ---
    Don't let them get into position!
[17:09] ---
    You're not getting anything past me!
    I'm holding you off right here!
[17:13] ---
    Konishi!
[17:15] ---
    Through the legs?!
[17:20] ---
    Sweet!
    Yeah!
[17:22] ---
    Damn, I'm good.
[17:23] ---
    No dude, that was all me.
[17:25] ---
    It was MY pass that did it!
[17:26] ---
    Kuzuryu Kitasumiyoshi
[17:26] ---
    Only a 2-point lead now?!
[17:28] ---
    No way... after all we did...!
[17:30] ---
    What the hell are you blockheads doing?!
[17:32] ---
    Listen here! Don't you dare let this game
    go down to the wire!
[17:36] ---
    Shut your face, stupid geezer!
[17:38] ---
    We don't need you to tell us the obvious!
[17:41] ---
    C'mon, Kuzu High! Fight!
[17:44] ---
    The next basket is mine, no matter what it takes!
[17:46] ---
    Like hell I'm letting that pipsqueak show me up again!
[17:50] ---
    Kato! Pass it here!
[17:54] ---
    Damn! They went for an easy pass over my head!
[17:58] ---
    Don't panic, Sora!
[17:59] ---
    Just let up your guard on him!
[18:01] ---
    He's telling me to pull back and defend the inside!
[18:04] ---
    Don't let anybody get past you!
[18:06] ---
    This is it! We have to keep them from scoring!
[18:08] ---
    Hey, is that the right call? Aren't we short on time?
[18:11] ---
    Shouldn't they be going after the ball?
[18:13] ---
    No, this is good.
[18:14] ---
    If we want to win, we have to stop their shot
    and then go sink our own.
[18:18] ---
    We absolutely cannot afford anything else.
[18:20] ---
    There's 30 seconds left with a 2-point difference.
[18:23] ---
    This is a really tough situation, even for Kitasumi.
[18:27] ---
    They should do whatever it takes
    to assure they score on this possession.
[18:30] ---
    They won't risk a shot from long-range!
[18:33] ---
    If we have our defense focused on keeping them
    out of the paint, our chance will come eventually.
[18:39] ---
    A three-pointer?!
[18:42] ---
    Miss! Miss, dammit! Miss!
[18:47] ---
    It hit the rim!
[18:48] ---
    Rebound!
[18:49] ---
    Dammit!
[18:50] ---
    It came up short!
[18:52] ---
    That prick, he didn't even hesitate!
[18:54] ---
    Momoharu! Screen them out!
[18:57] ---
    Shit! He beat me to it!
[19:01] ---
    I fucked up!
[19:05] ---
    Yes!
[19:06] ---
    We got the offensive rebound!
[19:08] ---
    Konishi pass it back out! We need to regroup!
[19:10] ---
    This is bad.
[19:11] ---
    We're finished if they keep hold of the ball.
[19:13] ---
    Huh? But why?
[19:14] ---
    What about the 24-second violation?
[19:16] ---
    The shot clock gets reset to 14 seconds
    after a rebound on a shot that hits the rim.
[19:22] ---
    Seriously?!
[19:25] ---
    Yasu!
[19:28] ---
    I'm done... my legs just can't keep going anymore...
[19:30] ---
    I hadn't considered this.
[19:32] ---
    They're going for an even bigger lead,
    no matter how risky!
[19:37] ---
    I got this!
[19:42] ---
    Shit, he's better than I thought...
[19:43] ---
    Go in!
[19:48] ---
    Go in!
[19:49] ---
    Miss!
[19:52] ---
    It fell!
[19:53] ---
    Get the rebound!
[19:55] ---
    Please! We really need this!
[19:58] ---
    Come on!
[20:04] ---
    Shit! I couldn't get a hold!
[20:08] ---
    You're such a waste of space!
[20:10] ---
    It's headed out of bounds!
[20:15] ---
    I'm not giving up!
[20:16] ---
    I can't help but wonder why I'm sticking with this team.
[20:19] ---
    Oh, there he is.
[20:21] ---
    Yo, Kite! Teach me some more about how to dribble!
[20:23] ---
    Not everybody plays the game
    just to support somebody else.
[20:26] ---
    Hey! You bums!
[20:28] ---
    Get ready to train your asses off!
[20:30] ---
    We may not be able to actually score any points, but...
[20:32] ---
    ...we'll do all the other stuff that only we can accomplish!
[20:35] ---
    It would be great if you guys went to the inter-high.
[20:38] ---
    I want to know what it feels like
    to share the joy of victory with a team.
[20:42] ---
    Until the very last second... none of us are giving up!
[20:59] ---
    THIS ONE IS MINE!
[21:04] ---
    Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!
[21:06] ---
    Nice dive, bro!
[21:07] ---
    Defend the basket!
[21:09] ---
    Everybody go back!
[21:10] ---
    Chiaki!
[21:12] ---
    He kept it in!
[21:14] ---
    Live ball!
[21:24] ---
    Kite is totally open.
[21:25] ---
    We can score 2 points for sure.
[21:27] ---
    Do I pass?
[21:29] ---
    No.
[21:31] ---
    Our whole team is already running on empty!
[21:33] ---
    If this goes into overtime, then we'll lose for sure!
[21:36] ---
    The only way to win this...
[21:38] ---
    ...is by going all in... from here!
[21:44] ---
    I couldn't reach it!
[21:47] ---
    Son of a bitch!
[21:51] ---
    A three!
[21:59] ---
    GO IN!
