=======

B1: Sorry, but looks like this time, he…
B2: has no room to care about you.

B1: This time around, // he has completely accepted Kagami as a rival,


Page 108
B1: and that’s the same
B2: for me // and my teammates too.

B1: …That makes me happy...
B2: but

B1: then even more so, // we can’t lose…!


Page 109
B1: As expected, they don’t have a single bit of carelessness.

B1: Assuming Shutoku’s strategy is the same as last time,
B2: in order for us to win, taking care of Midorima-kun is necessary.

B1: His super long 3-pointer,
B2: most likely has a limit to how many times it can be used…!! #I was going to use “ammunition limit”, but wasn’t sure how it will work. [Good?] [# Yup. thanks :D #]

B1: Eh?

B1: It’s an incredible distance. He would need to put all his force into the ball just to get it to the hoop.
B2: To prove that, when I looked back at the last match, each successive shot took slightly longer for him to get ready.

B1: Even if we can’t stop him completely, if we manage to push him to that extent, // his accuracy should drop down drastically…!!

B1: If that’s the case…


Page 110-111
B1: we’ve got the guy who’s fully capable of tormenting Midorima…!
B2: And this time, he’s fully charged!! #or “he’s at maximum strength.”

B1: And now, we’ll begin the Winter Cup preliminary, 2nd match of the finals league // the match between Seirin Highschool and Shutoku Highschool!!

B1: Bow!!
B2: Let’s have a clean match!!


Page 112
B1: Fly---…..fly!
B2: O∙o∙tsu∙bo, // fly!! #who’s Ootsubo?

B1: Yo.
B2: This is our first Highschool match.

B1: Yeah // I won’t hold back!

B1: Kagami-kun.

B1: Looks like Midorima-kun is hoping for a one-on-one battle with you.
B2: In the first place, you’re the only one who can match him.

B1: So I apologize, but // is it okay if I entrust Midorima-kun to you alone?

B1: Ha


Page 113
B1: -‘f course!! #needs some slang >_>
B2: I was planning to do just that all along.

B1: …Kagami!!


Page 114
B1: It has begun!!

B1: Mm!!

B1: A tie!?
B2: The ball…


Page 115
B1: goes to Seirin!!

B1: What!?

B1: Got it. Nice, Takao.

B1: Geh!?
{ Shoot…!!}

B1: Seirin was taken by surprise…
B2: its front is completely open!!

B1: First blood, // here it comes!! #blood/point….maybe this ain’t fps :p [Everything is fps.] [#LOL#]

[ no~ text]


Page 117
B1: What!?

{ Shit! Even if I’m cautious, one moment’s carelessness results in this. }
{ This guy really can’t be stopped without Takao. }

B1: Yes, good work.

B1: No, but the one who picked up the ball is…
B2: arrrrgh, Midorima!!


Page 118-119
B1: Kagami!!

B1: What!?

B1: Alright~ nice block!!

B1: Out of bounds!! // Shutoku’s ball!!


Page 120
B1: Uwaaaa~ amaaaazing!! // Fireworks right from the get go. #not sure if this makes sense in English ["start" would also work]
B2: I forgot to breathe.

{ No way… no, although it’s only a little, it was definitely higher than last time…!! }

B1: Don’t think that you can freely shoot
B2: such slow shots while I’m here!!

B1: ……

B1: …!? #rejected?


Page 121
B1: Now that Kagami has fully awakened… // my shot and his jump is the worst mismatch.

B1: At this state, he’ll relentlessly block my shots // no matter how many times I shoot.

B1: Hey, hey! What’s with that all of a sudden? // It makes me sick to see a weak hearted Shin-chan.
B2: Don’t jump to conclusions, you fool.

B1: If that’s the case, then
B2: there’s only one answer.


Page 122-123
B1: I told you already,

B1: it’s useless!!

B1: Ohh, for real? He keeps blocking…
B2: that Midorima!!

B1: ….!?
{ …What’s he planning?}

{ I thought he’d come back with some kind of change like learning a new skill…} #what is this, RPG? Lol [Lvlup! Player has forgotten "Basketball" and learned "Trashtalk"!]
{ but it’s completely the same style as last time…!?}

B1: Just so you know, I don’t have any new skills.
B2: All I’ve been doing till today are basic trainings to increase my stamina.

B1: It may be true that you are my worst match, // but don’t look down on me.


Page 124
B1: My shot isn’t cheap enough for me to come up with some pretentious skill
B2: just because of that!! #does this make sense? [Hmm... is he trying to say that his skill isn't cheap enough etc?] [# yeah exactly that...so it do makes sense I guess(?) #]

{…Perhaps…!!?}

B1: As you probably noticed, I cannot keep on shooting my shot limitlessly.
B2: However, that’s the same for your jump.

B1: Then there’s only one thing to do.


Page 125
B1: I just have to keep on shooting until you can’t fly.
B2: Even if that’s thousands or millions of times…!!

B1: …Interesting-!!
{ In other words…}
B2: it’s a test for endurance!!

B1: …It’s strange.
B2: What’s wrong, Kuroko?

B1: I can’t say it for sure…
B2: but it’s not like Midorima-kun.

B1: I just have to keep on shooting until you can’t fly.
B2: Even if that’s thousands or millions of times…!!

B1: Pfff..!! What… millions?!
{ That's way too many!!} #or “that’s too much”
B2: I’m just making a point!!
