"Good shot!!!"
The geezer coach turned into the most passionate fan on the sidelines, fists clenched tightly, expression ferocious.
As long as they can get the ball into the paint, they temporarily don't need to worry about offense.
A 12-point gap!
Not a hopeless number.
Encouraged by the two team leaders, the entire Homi Academy team went completely berserk.
Although unable to keep up with the rhythm, except for Yuuto, everyone was blown out time and again in matchups with Teiko.
But these people were like zombies, desperately entangling the Teiko Five.
Such fighting spirit infected every Tochigi Prefecture person.
Having shouted for half the game, they used their hoarse voices to shout with all their strength again.
The proud Tokyoites were completely suppressed by them.
Only the voices of Tochigi Prefecture people remained at the scene.
"Incredible!"
"Tochigi Prefecture fans turned the tables (dominated the home court)!"
"They turned this game in the Tokyo Gymnasium into a Tochigi Prefecture multi-functional arena!"
"..."
In such a frenzied atmosphere.
Homi Academy saw hope when the game proceeded to 4 minutes and 41 seconds (of the quarter).
Akashi organized the offense personally.
An absolutely brilliant pass, the basketball crossed several people to the hands of Kise, who had the least presence.
Kise performed his copy ability on the spot, replicating Mibuchi Reo's Heaven Shot and lifting his hand to throw.
This scene was captured by Homi Academy's third-year point guard.
This guy who doesn't even have a name, a pitiful worm whose ball-touching opportunities were cut by more than half as Yuuto's talent awakened.
He made a bold move at this most anxious moment.
Too long, or rather never had.
He was never a genius, otherwise, he wouldn't appear in Homi Academy's basketball club.
Capable geniuses would have been discovered and excavated by basketball powerhouses long ago.
Those who can come to play at Homi Academy, a music school, are guys without talent.
He originally thought he would spend the three years of middle school like most people.
No need to pursue results, just treat basketball as a pastime and entertainment sport and play happily.
But all this changed with Yuuto joining the basketball club.
He still remembers the scene of seeing Yuuto for the first time.
That guy was really arrogant; every time he opened his mouth, he made people feel huge pressure, without a bit of respect for seniors.
Just passing a ball wrong, he would be belittled by him to the point that life was over, no glorious future, the rest of life only remaining black like a long night.
But he had to admit, because of Yuuto's appearance, they could break the monopoly of the Tochigi Prefecture overlord.
Homi Academy historically broke into the main National Tournament.
At that time, for the first time in his life, he felt satisfaction in the sport of basketball.
For a player without talent like him, being able to experience the National Tournament personally is a very lucky thing.
Most people in the basketball club thought so.
Except for Yuuto.
No one expected that he would choose to leave the basketball club after losing the game.
At first, everyone couldn't figure it out.
Until the second year, he appeared in front of everyone with a stronger posture.
Only then did he realize that this guy went to "cultivate" secretly in order to win more games.
Yuuto's mouth is still so ugly; everyone in the basketball club secretly calls him venomous tongue, pressure monster, paranoid.
But no one would ridicule Yuuto.
Because everyone can't be as cruel to themselves as Yuuto is.
Everyone is used to pushing open the door every time they participate in club activities and seeing Yuuto practicing.
Also used to seeing him stubbornly shooting there tirelessly after everyone has left.
He sincerely envies Yuuto.
