B1: Senpai // As a human, what do you think about a response to “Good Luck” being “DIE”
< egh >
B2: I don’t quite get it, but it’s exactly what it seems {I’m sure}

B1: Hey, we’re resuming the practice!! // There’s no time till the Winter Cup.

{ Same Time // Touou Academy Highschool}


Page 16
B1: Aomine-kun!! // You’re ditching practice again!

B1: Shut up, Satsuki. It’s fine.
B2: It’s not fine! // Tetsu-kun’s new technique is…

B1: That’s not something we can do with practice, and it’s not even necessary!

B1: The only one who can beat me // is me alone

B1: In the first place, Winter Cup participation is already decided. // No wonder I’m sleepy.

B1: Stupid!!


Page 17
B1: Special bracket?
{ Same Time // Yosen Highschool }

B1: This year’s Winter Cup is some memorial anniversary tournament
B2: So the winner and the runner-up of the Inter High are automatically accepted // and to balance that out, there’ll be more schools participating.

B1: In short, Atsushi’s friends, Aomine-kun and Akashi-kun, are already set to participate
B2: thanks to last week’s preliminary, Kise-kun and we are set for the normal bracket.

B1: Hmmm // Muro-chin, you seem pretty heated up?
B2: Well, I didn’t play during the Inter High

B1: Including the match with Taiga
B2: I can’t wait to fight Atsushi’s friends.

{ Same Time // Rakuzan Highschool }


Page 18
B1: Everyone ready?
B2: I’ll once again confirm what we have to do during the Winter Cup Preliminary.


Page 19
B1: There are 8 schools participating in the preliminary.
B2: Among these, only two schools can earn the right to participate in the Winter Cup as Tokyo representatives.

B1: With today’s matches, it will be reduced to four schools.
== Diagram ==
Top: Winter Cup Participation
Arrow-to-top: Top two schools
Arrow-to-table: Winning four schools go to league match
= = = = = = = = = =
B2: The winning four schools will go into a league match, and the top two schools can participate in the Winter Cup.

B1: However, those eight schools are the Top 8 schools from the Inter High preliminaries // In other words, they are all schools that achieved some success during the summer.
B2: There are few matches, but on the other hand // all the battles will be against tough opponents.

B1: Today’s opponent is in the 6th place, Josei Highschool! // We will definitely win!!
B2: YEAH!!

B1: He~y // Where’s Narumi?
B2: Ah- he’s concentrating over there


Page 20
BOX: Josei Highschool 1st year // Center 194cm // Narumi Daisuke

B1: How’re heavy metal and porn concentration items? [Wat] [#LOL#]
BOX: 3rd Year | Power Forward | 188 cm // Tsubuku Masahiro
{ I’ve been wondering }
B2: No clue…
BOX: 3rd year | Point Guard | 175cm // Tooyama Kazuki

B1: Purpose Unknown
BOX: 3rd year | Small Forward | 187cm // Sakuma Hiroshi

B1: Oh well, // As long as he does the usual
BOX: Josei Highschool Captain 3rd Year // Shooting Guard 182cm // Kawase Youhei

B1: So, today’s opponent, // Seirin.
B2: How are they?


Page 21
B1: In simple terms, they’re a team that succeeded thanks to a Big Rookie. [Is this exact translation? It's awkward in English.] // It’s only their second year, too.
B2: Although it’s amazing that they’ve managed to go to the finals this year and last year, but that’s all

B1: The biggest concern is that Big Rookie, Kagami Taiga.
B2: Anyway he’s the most troublesome // …but

B1: Based on this summer’s videos // Seirin has a fatal weak point.
B2: !?

B1: As a team, they lack in power, and doesn’t have any altitude. // The Center is simply above average
B2: In short, the inside is extremely weak

B1: Also, they don’t have a coach... // or maybe she's the coach... #argh…woman feels weird here, but girl is awkward for the response later… [Better?] [# definitely #]
B2: Wah, a girl!?
< rise >
B3: How did you hear that?

B1: Therefore

B1: We’ll unleash our Big Rookie too.


Page 22
B1: Now, we’ll begin the match between Seirin Highschool and Josei Highschool! // Both teams, please line up.

B1: --ts // Let’s go!

B1: Honestly, what’s been up with you since morning?
B2: It’s my first match in a long time…

B1: so I can’t help my face going loose----
B2: Hey, are you okay…?

B1: Hey! I understand that you’re happy about the match, // but we’ll be troubled if you’re stuck sightseeing


Page 23
B1: You came back to win, so
B2: I’m trusting you for underneath the hoop. #I’m lost 0__o can’t think of a word [Can you give me the literal translation/anything else?]

B1: Aah… I know

< …grin >
B1: I’m still worried a bit. #the wording is on purpose

B1: So carefree… is he fine?
B2: I’m sure he’ll be fine.

B1: Ha?

B1: Wh- why’s he there…!?
B2: What’s wrong?

B1: …You know about the “Generation of Miracles”, right?
B2: Yeah {of course }


Page 24
B1: During Middle School… there were people other than them // that definitely would’ve been called geniuses if they were born in a different era
B2: the uncrowned talents shadowed by the absolutes.

B1: He’s one of them… // the unwavering soul that will defend underneath the hoop in any situation.

B1: “Iron Heart”
B2: Kiyoshi Teppei

B1: If that person’s here, I feel calm, or rather…
B2: I can’t think of losing!

B1: Here we go…
