顶着耀眼的阳光 我在街头奔跑着 Starting my run in the middle of town, bright sunlight at my back,
你像平时一样地拍打我的肩头 As always, you tapped my shoulder
不知从何时开始 我毫无理由地迷恋上你 I'm so enthralled by you, yet for reasons unknown
却从来不曾挽上我的手臂 Your arm won't be linked to mine.
我的眼睛总是追寻着你 I don't know when but my eyes were locked on you
离不开你 and that's how it all began.
我已经无药可救地 Crazy for you I won't let you go. I won't have any doubts. Crazy for you.
好想大声说爱你 试着去改变明天 I want to shout that I love you. Let's try to change tomorrow.
打破逐渐冻结的时间 I want to put an end to the times I couldn't speak.
好想大声说爱你 I want to shout that I love you.
鼓起勇气踏出第一步吧 Let's be brave and take a step forward.
希望你能接受我这热切的思念 These burning feelings I want you to catch.
The fifth round of the regional championship,
Shoyo takes the lead from the beginning of the game.
But, Shohoku starts to make a comeback.
With the assist of small and short, but highly skilled Miyagi Ryota,
Hanamichi scored for the first time in an official match.
Ryota, not afraid of Shoyo's defense, showed his super shooting.
On the other hand, Shoyo's Fujima,
using zone defense to stop Shohoku's fast break, but...
That's right. Shoyo's miscalculation is Mitsui.
MVP shooter, Mitsui Hisashi.
Alright!
With Mitsui's three pointer, Shohoku is finally tied with Shoyo.
#40 Rebound King, Sakuragi Hanamichi
It's tied, Shohoku caught up with Shoyo.
Nice Mit-chi!
It's Mitsui. Isn't that Mitsui Hisashi?
Do you know that number 14, senpai?
Almost didn't recognize him with his new hairstyle.
I remember clearly. Three years ago, he was...
He made the shoot that let them win at the very last seconds of the final.
Three years ago, he was Takeishi's number 4.
MVP, Mitsui Hisashi.
That's Mitsui!?
Awesome!
He only made one basket. Why is everybody making such a big deal?
Mitsui? Is he Mitsui Hisashi?
If he attended Shohoku
why haven't we seen him play for the past two years?
That's because he took a crooked path.
They tied the score just like that. Awesome!
So powerful! Shohoku's a really strong team after all.
Junior high's MVP, Mitsui.
Super rookie, Rukawa.
Super guard, Miyagi.
And, that King Kong Akagi.
Shohoku's really strong!
Akagi, Rukawa, Miyagi, Mitsui.
They didn't get this far just because of luck.
Hey, wait a minute!
You forgot me, super genius Sakuragi!
Defense, Sakuragi.
Damn, they didn't mention me, the genius.
Why only Gori, Rukawa, Ryo-chin and Mit-chi...
They are all nothing compared to me...
Damn, compared to them I should be a genius.
It's impossible not to be a genius...
You are great, Coach.
Shoyo's miscalculation is that they forgot about Shohoku's three point shooter, Mitsui-san.
That's right, Hikoichi.
Having a long range shooter in the team would make it easier for them to attack from the inside.
Even if Shoyo guards the key well, Mitsui can shoot from the outside.
This will force their defense to come out.
I see, great team.
Mitsui... why didn't you join us.
Fujima's going to play.
Oh, Fujima-san!
Fujima-san! Fujima-san!
Fujima, believe in me.
Let's give them all we've got!
Let them see Shoyo's true power!
What?
Yes!
Hanagata!
Yes!
Okay!
Okay, come on!
Nice block.
Hanagata...
Great! Alright!
Nice rebound, Hanagata-san.
Hanagata...
Hanagata... Hanagata...
This lets us tighten up our defense.
Yes!
What?
Let's us... Don't look down on us Hanagata.
Mitsui.
Yes, that's good!
Yes!
Nice.
Nice shot, Mitsui-san!
No count. Offensive foul, charging. White number 14.
What?
Alright, nice, Hanagata!
Hanagata-san!
He did that on purpose.
Takano, Nagano, Hasegawa, Ito! Show no mercy.
We're Shoyo.
Hanagata...
Hanagata-san.
You're really trustworthy, Hanagata.
I don't think I need to play in this game.
We've got to take hold of this chance!
Hanagata...
Now offense!
Yes!
Damn that four-eyes.
Shoyo... Shoyo... Shoyo...
This is great, this is great!
Coach, all of Shoyo's player's aren't like they were before.
As expected from Hanagata.
He stopped Mitsui's three point shots from having an effect.
But, the one who boosted Hanagata's morale is Fujima.
He has such a big influence even though he's on the bench.
Go, go Shoyo! Beat them, beat them, Shoyo!
Damn, I won't let you pass to that four-eyes.
Two...
Shut up! I know already.
Rebound!
Rebound...
What's wrong with you, Shohoku?
They're pulling away.
Do your best, Shohoku!
Damn...
Rebound...
You have responsible for getting rebounds, Sakuragi-kun.
Pops...
The one who gets the rebounds...
www.animanganucleus.org
Let's play basketball guys!
You feel like the wind when you got to ball and go to the basket.
www.animanga.gen.tr
Let's go for it! It's cool to be with your brother!
Go, go Shoyo! Beat them, beat them, Shoyo! ...
Shoyo is strong.
This is the strength of the second best team in Kanagawa.
Hanagata has improved since last year.
With Fujima more reliable, this team is almost perfect.
What's wrong, Shohoku?
Get yourselves together!
Try your best, Sakuragi-kun!
Haruko-san.
Rebounds might not appear to be significant, but they are very important.
And not everyone can get them.
In America's NBA, doesn't only regard getting points as important.
During the season, the person who gets the most rebounds in the games
is highly regarded too.
That's why, a player that is good at rebounding is really popular.
They're regarded as super players.
Because the person who controls the rebounds...
Controls the game.
That's right!
Today, my goal is not only stay in the game,
get more points than Rukawa.
And...
Control the rebounds.
30 seconds left in the first half!
Hikoichi.
Look very closely, this minute is very important.
Shohoku has to defend until the last second.
Hikoichi, do you know why?
Because Shoyo's Fujima hasn't come out yet?
That's the first reason.
Second is fatigue.
Pressure will increase fatigue.
Because Shoyo put so much pressure on Shohoku, they weren't as agile.
That's right.
They seem like really tired.
Under such undesirable situation,
giving all their hope in the next half.
They have to keep the gap under a 10 point difference.
If under 10 points, they should still have energy to get back those points.
If over 10 points, it'll be detrimental to their morale.
They'll lose more points in the second half.
That is why they have to keep it as it is right now, or else Shohoku will lose.
Defense... Defense...
Defense! Defense!
Okay.
I won't lose to you.
What...
Rebound!
What!?
Sakuragi-kun!
I will control the rebounds!
Rebound King Sakuragi!
Sakuragi-san.
First half is over.
Give them more pressure under the basket.
That's true.
Good job everyone.
Shohoku is already tired.
Do the same during the second half and we'll beat them.
Yes!
Understand, don't be careless.
Yes, leave it to me.
Am I being too greedy?
But if that basket went in, Shohoku wouldn't have a chance.
Hanagata.
Be careful of number 10 getting the rebounds.
I know.
He can really jump.
But I can tell from his shooting that he's just a beginner.
He's only a first year, don't worry too much.
Shohoku's lockers
9 point difference during the first half.
We've still got a chance.
Three 3 point shots will tie the score.
But Mitsui-san, you seem really tired.
Don't be ridiculous, the game's just started!
That's right, we can't be tired now.
Our opponent hasn't sent their best player yet.
Fujima...
Yes, once he joins in...
Shoyo will show us the strength of the second best team.
We've got to get Fujima out as soon as possible during the second half.
That will be the true beginning of this game.
Mitsui.
In order to use you three point shots,
Sakuragi and I will try our best to get the rebounds.
We will not lose to Hanagata.
That sounds good. Can you do it?
What?
Just now Akagi, wasn't that a nice rebound by Sakuragi.
Sakuragi...
Sakuragi.
Eh... Sakuragi Hanamichi...
Where did that idiot go now?
That was great Sakuragi-kun, really great!
Well... Is that so?
Of course.
That rebound was worth 10 points.
10 points?
Yes, that rebound saved the team!
If we lost anymore points,
we might not have any hope left.
Really you think so? I'm really the rebound king after all.
Yeah, Rebound King Sakuragi!
Haruko-san.
I am really a genius.
Haruko-san even said so herself.
It can't be wrong!
Gori, Ryo-chin, Mit-chi and that stinking Rukawa are nothing.
Just leave the second half to the Genius Sakuragi, Haruko-san!
Really looking forward to the next half
to see him getting disqualified.
It's the second half, let's go!
We'll make our comeback.
That red head seems pretty energetic going into the second half.
How well is he going to do?
Haruko-san...
That's it, Hanamichi!
Go, foul-out king!
Fight, Sakuragi-kun!
Sakuragi-san is pretty good, so lively.
Coach, because of Sakuragi's rebound, Shohoku's still staying at a 9 point difference.
They didn't pass the one digit mark.
Then we better watch closely during this second half.
There might be a great change.
Good, let's make a comeback!
Go, Shohoku!
Go, Rebound King Sakuragi, King of the boards Sakuragi.
Hanamichi's rebound caused Shoyo to take a nine point difference.
Now is beginning of the second half.
Rebound King Sakuragi is rushing to strike.
Is this a new beginning?
