From now on, everyone who’s name I have forgotten is B… I’m sick of making up letters since they change every chapter anyway. The supporting characters don’t stand out at all~

Hoopmen 11

01
Y- Surpass Satou-kun (tentative) and… decide iiiiiiiit!!!!
C- Aaaalright good Yuuho!!!

h/w- Yeeeeaaaah
Y- Hmph… You’re exaggerating…
Y- It all starts from here
K- Satou-kun…
Y- What is it Koganei I’m busy right now

K- I want a (tentative) name too…!!!
Tagline- That excitement is reborn… to the extreme!?

02
K- Call me Satou Mao (tentative)…<3
Y- Hey hey… you don’t need (tentative) there
K- Ah!! That’s right <3 Silly me <3
B- You know, usually when he’s like this
B- I’d think he was sick or something
B- Lately you’ve been in a really good mood, Yuuho
Y- I guess, well, it’s like
Y- Ever since the Tokichuu match the tension has been really high!!
Y- For one thing as an individual… and as a team, we were able to go up a level. Ah, I wonder if I should tell you this… we’re aiming for number one in Japan
B- Shutup, seriously quit it, really quit it
B- Hahaha, you have a day off basketball club today right? I’ll listen to your saga, so come hang out with us
Y- Sorry Eguchi!! I have something I gotta do today
Y- Someone’s waiting for me
H/w- At the school gate
B- ‘Someone’? …Who?

03
Chapter 11 Let’s go on reconnaissance
Tagline- Taking the next step forward, the girl waiting for Yuuho… This is…!?
B- ….What
B- Who’s that?
B- …Girlfriend?
B- And it has appeared!! I thought it might some day!! Whether it’s Yuuho or whoever, a stupid girl who would mistake just being on the basketball team for meaning he must be cool
h/w- Shiiiiit
B- Ah, no…
B- If I remember correctly, that girl is…

04
B- Hey
B- Sorry about earlier
B- We were totally flattened today
B- Haha… Yashiba has really gotten stronger, and it’s not just that new members joined
B- Nakanishi and the other’s movements have improved
Y- …What’s with this atmosphere!? Someone make a comeback… Eh, what, me? Me!?
Y- Ah, no, Not at all hahaha…
B- If we meet up at the summer tournament it won’t go like today, remember that
Y- Ah… yes!!

05
B- Ah, but we’ve still got a long way till we can compete with Knockdown Souei right, haha
Y- …Souei?
Y- …By Souei you mean Souei Acadamy? Are they strong players?
B- Hell yes!!
B- They’ve been the champions of Tokyo for more than ten years now
Y- Really!?
Y- Now you mention it Souei is…
Y- Hey
B- Cousin!?
B- Yuuho’s!?
B- Yeah, Hana-chan
B- They were together till elementary school… if I’m not mistaken she goes to Souei Academy now
Y- And so

06
Y- If we’re aiming for nationals we gotta know the champions
Y- Hey Hana-chan, long time no see
Y- And coincidently, when I called her thinking to try and get some info about the basketball club
B- Whaaaat!!?
B- Yuuho’s cousin!? Is Souei’s basketball club’s manager!?
B- And… she’s cute…!!!
H- No…

07
H- Yuuho-chiin…. You said you’d be alone…
Y- Ah, they’re kinda weird but don’t mind them
Y- So yeah, I called her and asked if she’d give us some information or something
Y- And it seems like the coach said it’s cool for us to sit in on practice!!
B- Serious!!!?
H- Yuuhoooo-chiin, why~… you know I’m bad with stuff like this
H-Uwaaah… there’s a foreigner too… why’s he staring…
Y- Geez shutup, you’re still not cured of that shyness?
B- Yuuho hey!!! That’s no way to talk to a lady!!!
K- Hey
K- Are you letting us watch cuz it’s Yashiba?
K- Cuz there’s no way you could lose to us?

08
H- Ah no… Uwaa… Yuuho-chin help
H- A hot guy is talking to me!! What do I do!?
Y- No you help!! Dumb girl!! I’m counting on you so at least talk!! You’re so embarrassing!!!
B- Hey!!! What do you mean dumb!?
K- We’re being underestimated huh…
H- Ah!!!
H- There’s no way we’re gonna lose at Tokyo this year!! For sure!!
H- So it’s not because it’s Yashiba!!! Honestly…
H- Ah!!
h/w- I said it…
(T/N: Lol at Josh making a peace sign in the back XD)

09
K- Oh?
K- Okay okay, then shall we go? To Souei Academy
H- Uwaaah
B- Aaaah!! Quit it Atsumu!!!
Y- Quit it!! It’s creepy!!! From a relative’s point of view!!!
Y- There’s no way you won’t lose for certain, I thought
Y- But after seeing Souei’s practice, my feelings about aiming for the nationals were shaken, that’s for sure
Souei Academy Gym

10
B- Wow… there’s so many!!
B- There’s even more than Tokichuu!!
H- Yuuho-chin! He says you can watch from up there!!
Y- Their practice continued mechanically to the point where it felt weird
Y- And we were overwhelmed by the team members’ spirits, that we could easily mistake as ‘Are you guy’s gonna fight!?’
Y- We came to spy but I didn’t remember much while I was watching… just
B- I wanna watch tournaments like this
h/w- They’re all so good
Y- Basically what Haraguchi said

11
h/w- Yeaaaaaaaaaaah
B- Supinator-san…
J- Amazing…
J- Each and every player is at a high level
J- …But, number ten and number nine are at even more of a different level…!!!
Y- And Josh repeating that over and over
Y- Yeah
Y- Well yeah… they’re really good but…
Y- What surprised me more than anything else is that when we went to greet the coach when practice was over…

(T/N: OMG lol that actually scared me when I turned the page XD)

13
Y- Thanks for today Hana!!
Y- To be honest I’m depressed
Y- That huge guy was amazing!! That’s the first time I’ve ever seen a human that huge!!
Y- I understand why Hana’s so confident
H- Ah!!
H- Akita-kun right!?
H- He’s a first year, same as us!!
Y- What!!? Seriously!?
Y- I don’t know when Hana got interested in basketball
H- Right now high school basketball there are a lot of teams that either emphasise speed or big guys as their axis
H- Our five guys’ greatest strength is that they are balanced and can adapt to any type of opponent
Y- But she told us why Souei are strong
Y- Actually, come on, give us a break already

14
Y- Because after watching the practice, I knew just by the atmosphere these guys were emitting
Y- Just how much of a faraway existence Souei was
Y- …Well you know
Y- We’ll think of something right!? Josh!!
Y- We’ll think of something!! Let’s go to the nationals!!
J- …No…
J- Looking at it rationally… I don’t think the current Yashiba can win against Souei…
J- No matter how you slice it…
B- What’d he say?

15
B- Ah… yeah… from Souei’s main three, even with Josh and Atsumu marking number nine and ten… there’s no one who can keep number fifteen in check
B- In terms of height there’s Atsumu, but if it was a bout of strength… and we can’t leave number nine open either…
B- That’s right…
B- I don’t think there’s someone that big in the whole of Yashiba High
Y- …So this is the real wall between us and the nationals…
B- There is one!! A big guy!!
h/w- There is?
K- Yeah!! Haraguchi-kun!!
K- You realised!? You realised didn’t you!!?
h/w- Who?
B- But you know… that guy right… Seems like he got into another fight…

16
K- He’s too foolish, that guy

17
B- I fight and fight
B- And the dryness in my heart increases
B- Because I have met my fated enemy
B- I feel it

18
B- My blood, my flesh, my bones, my soul
B- All that composes me
B- Desires to fight with him…

19
B- Komuta…!!!
Tagline- The man who is the key to the future of Yashiba… Is a super dangerous human being!!
