88th Quarter Run!!

B1: So strong…
B2: How are you supposed to stop such a thing…?

B1: Shutoku Highschool!

B1: …

B1: No worries, it’s just a pinch.
B2: It’s not like the match is over.

Page 152
B1: Let’s go have fu~n.

B1: Ah- right! { I know that!}
B2: But what’re we gonna do?
B3: I can’t think of a way to stop the current Shutoku…

B1: That’s why we’re all going to start thinking now, right?
< SLAM >
B2: You’ve got nothing! { Nothing at all }

{ That hurt}
B1: Well, I guess—


Page 153
B1: we’ll start by getting rid of Kuroko!
B2: Eh
< DOOOM >

B1: He’s just a drag if he can’t use misdirection at all.
B2: Although you do seem to be trying pretty hard, if I were to choose between whether you were an asset or a liability, I'd pick the latter.
< DOOM DOOM>
B3: Anyway, right now, there’s no point in you being here! #LOL [Forever Alone]
< DOOOOOM >

B1: So that’s why…

B1: Member change for Seirin
B2: Oh


Page 154
B1: Looks like the Coach’s thinking the same thing.

B1: You’re not done yet, // so don’t let go of your concentration.
{ Thank you so much }
B2: Don’t be anxious. Just leave it to the team for now.

B1: I’m fine.
B2: Rather, this’ll make it better for me to use the new drive.

B1: And…


Page 155
B1: I’m not worried,
B2: since I believe in them.

< Ha ha >

B1: Oh, that girl’s pretty cute.
B2: But haven't I seen her somewhere…?
B3: Dumbass, that’s Touou’s... [Is the leave-off intentional? Is he just trailing off, or...]


Page 156
B1: …! Argh, I knew it!
B2: They started already!

B1: Geez! Stupid Aomine-kun!
B2: He won’t even come with me… // in the first place, what’s up with sending a girl alone without thinking twice?

B1: It’s a bit… disheartening
B2: Ah? It’s Momo-cchi!

B1: You came to watch Kuroko-cchi and Midorima-cchi’s match?


Page 157
B1: Ki-chan! #Ki-chan???
B2: Can you please stop with that nickname…? #<_< you’re the one to speak
B3: But Ki-chan is Ki-chan, right? // You’re alone?

B1: Yup. // Even though I asked all my Senpais, they all rejected me… // It’s so disheartening!
< Grumpy >
B2: Ki-chan’s the one to say that? {That’s my line}

B1: Well, // normally it’d be weird to watch with someone I’ve lost to, [Lost to?]
B2: But our Winter Cup participations are already decided, // so let’s call truce for now.

B1: …Yeah,
B2: you’re right…

B1: That’s right! // How’s the match…?
B2: Well

B1: It’s becoming pretty interesting.


Page 158
B1: Seirin’s continuing the Double-Team…!!
B2: They aren’t planning to let Midorima shoot at all.


Page 159
B1: Anyway, stopping Midorima is a must.
B2: We’ll go with a Double-Team by Kagami and me.

B1: No way… I can handle it by myself! {Senpai…}
B2: I get your resolve, but it can’t be helped if he mixes fakes and passes. // We’re out if you can no longer jump.

B1: But in that case, we’re the ones in trouble.
B2: No matter what, Mitobe can’t handle the inside alone.

B1: Then it looks like… // it’s all up to THAT.
{ Ha… }

B1: They made it!!
B2: Seirin’s a goner. Even if they stop Midorima, they can’t do anything about the inside!!


Page 160-161
B1: If we can’t stop them,
B2: then we just have to take more than them.

B1: !!


Page 162
B1: mph!?

B1: What a fast pass around!
B2: Their attack is in a much higher tempo than before.

B1: So fast!!
B2: They came invading in an instant!!


Page 163
B1: No way, go die!!


Page 164
B1: What!?

B1: Ohhh, they made it!!

B1: …!!

{ This is…although the shape is completely different…}
{ the same as… us?!}


Page 165
B1: Ah

B1: Ohhh, Seirin’s attack is intense!!
B2: Even though they can’t stop Shutoku, they take it back in an instant.

{ This firepower…}
B1: So this the new Seirin!

B1: No… that’s not quite right.
B2: Eh?

B1: To be exact,
B2: they’re BACK.

B1: Seirin’s style is offensive team basketball.
B2: But Kiyoshi’s team last year was much faster.


Page 166-167
B1: Kiyoshi and Hyuga’s in-and-out double highlights // along with five-man footwork and passing. By competing for points using those,
B2: despite having an overwhelmingly shallow history, the Seirin team // managed to specialize in offense. By forcing their opponents into rapid shoot-outs, they succeeded in rising up to last year’s Tokyo region Best 4. That's their strength:

B1: Run&Gun Speed Basketball.*
*A high-speed style that runs and shoots (gun).
B2: That is their true fighting style.

B1: There’re two things that change when Kiyoshi’s in the team.
B2: First, the inside is strengthened.

B1: And the other is, // by cycling the ball along with the Point Guard Izuki-kun,
B2: they increase the speed of their passing.

B1: Fast-paced point wars
B2: are our specialty!

{ How reliable…!}
{ With this…}

{ Indeed. That’s much wiser than going for some clumsy defense}
B1: …but


Page 168
B1: ROAAAAARRRRR

B1: Urgh
{ Shoot…!}


Page 169
B1: Ah------
{ No----!! }


Page 170
B1: Why are you dozing off?
B2: You can't lose focus even for a moment // if you want to stop me!!

B1: Rgh…

B1: Wow…


Page 171
B1: It’s here!! Midorima’s super-long 3-pointer!!
B2: Amazing… what the heck is that?!
B3: How does that go in? It’s totally subhuman!!

B1: Al~right
B2: Nice shot, Midorima!!

B1: Don’t bother, Kagami!!
B2: We’ll take it back!!

{Urgh}
B1: Let’s go


Page 172
B1: End of the 2nd Quarter.

B1: We’ll go for a 10 minute break.
B2: Whaaaa it’s over already!?

B1: I can’t wait— start the second half already—

B1: Wow, the crowd’s all heated up.

B1: Ki-chan, what do you think will happen in the second half?
B2: Eh? U---m…

B1: No clue!!
B2: Honestly, you’re no use…


Page 173
B1: …Well, at least the second half will definitely be a point war.
B2: …But // Seirin’s the one at a disadvantage.

B1: For now, Seirin has no method of stopping Shutoku. // However, it’s not like Shutoku can’t stop Seirin at all.

B1: The one who’ll crumble first will be Seirin.

B1: Well // …that’s only if Kuroko-cchi isn't there.
B2: !

B1: There’s no way he’ll remain silent.
B2: The Phantom 6th Player of the “Generation of Miracles” isn’t just for show.

B1: Oh, that girl’s pretty cute.
B2: But haven't I seen her somewhere…?
B3: Dumbass, that’s Touou’s

B2: Is this a new trend…!?
