1-4: haa

186)
1-4: haa
5: What is "despair"?

187)
1-6: hah

188)
1: The Lightnings...!!
2: What's going on?!
3: The Lightnings regulars...VS
4: the 10 remaining try-out players!
5: This is the final test!!
6: What a joke.

189)
1: Alright, let's begin.
2-3: Thank you.
4: Ohhh...it's Anzai Yoshiki...!!
5: Looks like he has no intention of acknowledging me...

190)
1: Thank you.
2: Listen up, guys. They're the Lightnings regulars,
3: but we can still take them.
4: Where's your proof?
5(2b): Hideshi, their #2, Jou, is more of a slasher than a shooter. He's a good defender, but he's got no outside game.
6: Their center, Brooks, has the highest rebound count in the entire league.

191)
1(2b): We have to all block him as if our lives depended on it. They've got some weak points too.
2(2b): Their #3 is bad at blocking in the paint. So pushing strong with a center formation could be a good strategy.
3: I got all the Tokyo Lightnings data
4: right inside here.
5(2b): Now let's go own
6: the regulars.

192)
1: Gohh
2: Bleggh
3: Defense!

193)
1(2b): Dammit! I'm good at getting charged...
2: Haa
3: but it's too early for that...
4: haa
5: This is fucked up...
6: Why was Nomiya picked...?
7: He's just a run-of-the-mill point guard...!!
8(2b): Oh yeah, I forgot. Anzai Yoshiki's offense is pretty much always 1 on 1...
9: even if it ends up in a mismatch on someone like me.
10: And he never passes!!
11: So help me out.

194)
1: The goal of this tryout is to find the kind of players we're currently in need of on the team.
2: It doesn't necessarily mean we'll pick the 10 best players.
3(2b): Team...so it's all about teamwork...?
4: If that was what you were after, then why didn't you tell us at the beginning?
5: I always put my team first.
6: But I was staking my life on this tryout,
7: so naturally I tried to show off my own skills...!!
8: So are you saying that what you showed me today wasn't the real you?
9: When does the real you come out, then?
10: Right now, there's someone...

195)
1: on the bottom of the basketball pyramid--
2: who's vying for the top.
3: He doesn't belong here...!!
4: Woahhh!
5: Rebound!!
6: Nice one!

196)
1: To be honest, Tanaka-san,
2: I don't get what you see in that point guard.
3: What's his forte?
4: Well let me ask you, then, how does he look to you?
5: What's your general idea of him?
6(2b): He's 174 cm. Small, and not especially fast.
7: He handles the ball...okay, I guess.
8(2b): He sucks at shooting, has little experience.
9: ...Overall, he just seems unfit to play at the pro level.
10(2b): Mmm...okay.

197)
1: So you don't see any potential in him...

198)
1: Jewels...
2: and stones--
3: Potential can be spotted in the blink of an eye.
4: But sometimes, that can make you blind to the natural gifts...
5: of young players.

199)
1: The natural gifts that come from here.
2-4: haa
5: It's really pathetic.
6: You were only picked to fill an empty spot.
7: You have no right to be playing on the same court as me.
8: Where are you going, Yoshiki?
9: We aren't done yet.

200)
1: Why am I here?
2: Come back.
3: I don't want to risk getting injured.
4: You lack respect.
5: Towards your teammates,
6: and toward the game.
7: Come back.
8: I know it.
9-11: haa
10: He's gonna come for me.

201)
1: You're dead.
2-3: hah

202)
1-5: hah

203)
1-3: hah
4: That's the Yoshiki I know.
5: There's no way I can stop him.
6: But...

204)
1: I studied him--
2: And I found his weak point!!
3(2b): He sucks at defense--I can get past him!!

205)
1: I can't get through him.
2(2b): I'll have to push through with pure power!
3: Nuohhh
4: Power...

207)
1: Even power-wise...
2: It's like a kid and an adult...
3: The real thing...
4: and a fake...?
5: Despair--

209)
1: What is "despair"?

210)
1: That's what despair is.

211)
1-3: hah
4: Not this.

212)
1: This

213)
1: is joy.

214)
1: Uooooohhhhhhhh
2: People show their true value when they get smacked down.
3: Do they look down?
4: Do they look forward?
5: Do they continue to challenge themselves without giving up?
6: That's the most important thing, something that's often hidden by talent and experience.

215)
1: The natural gifts that come from the heart.
2: Bring it.

216)
1: He's faster...!!

217)
1: He never passes--

219)
1: Yes, go!!
2: A steal!!

220)
1: Yeaaaahhh

221)
1: Did you
2: hear anything today?
3: Nothing.

222)
1(2b): Only those who were chosen from the try-outs get calls.
2: It's been a month now--
3: Wanna go get some okonomiyaki?
