Call me Hisashi "D-Ninja" Mitsui!!

"Who will win?"

"Shoyo!"

"Shoyo!"

"Shoyo!"

Defeat them!!" Shoyo's cheering squad voice filled the arena and they still have energy on the second half of the game.

Meanwhile in Shohoku bench, Coach Anzai stood-up and said, "Well then... Do you still remember what I said before the game?"

"Of course!! Anzai-sensei..." Akagi said.

"We are the strongest!!!" the whole team replied.

"Very good..." Coach Anzai returned to his seat.

"Everyone, listen to me carefully! No matter whom our opponent is! Our task is to defeat them!!" Akagi said.

"Yeah!!!" the Shohoku team replied.

"We have to keep on attacking!! Let them know the strength of Shoyo!!" Fujima said.

"Yeah!!!" the Shoyo team replied.

"Rukawa and Sakuragi!! You two cannot lose to no. seven and eight" Looking to Shoyo's bench, the no. seven and eight are staring dagger at them and wanted to start a fight anytime.

"Those annoying eyes are kept on staring at me!! Sakuragi said.

"Those bast***!" Rukawa even clenches his fist.

"Although, they are taller than you two... however your jumping ability is better than theirs! We must control the rebound there! So I will handle Hanagata!" Akagi said.

"Gori! Aaaww...!" Sakuragi got hit again after not calling Akagi as Captain.

"Gor... I mean Captain!" Rukawa almost say it, he learned from Sakuragi to show some respect to Akagi.

"Akagi, Rukawa, Sakuragi and Mitsui!! If we lose one these guys then we won't able to take advantage of our height.

Everyone must be aggressive a bit more and try to get them foul under the basket!" Fujima said.

"Yes!!" Shoyo players replied.

"How many fouls they have, Manager?" Fujima asked.

"Right now, #4 Akagi has two fouls, #10 Sakuragi has already three fouls and #11

Rukawa has one foul!" the manager replied.

"Kazushi, on the court, you should try to be more open minded!" Fujima said.

"I'm not into networking, Captain!" Kazushi replied.

"I'm not scamming you! I'm talking about you playing on the court!" Fujima said.

"Hmn... I got it!" he replied.

"Kazushi's weakness is that he follows the rules strictly, he lacks ambition to become a star of the team... Through the years, he practices twice harder than anyone else in the team" he said.

While Kazushi is staring at the still energetic Mitsui, he doesn't want to give up and waste the hard work for three until he face again Mitsui.

"Fujima, leave Mitsui to me, I'll handle him and you guys focus on the offense," Kazushi still insist on defending him alone.

"Are you able to mark him well? Your opponent is a former MVP!" Fujima said.

"Don't worry about me!" Kazushi replied.

"Hasegawa!" Hanagata said.

"Okay, I hope you won't let me down and let's repay them twice this time!" Fujima said.

"There's still enough time! Okay let's go!!" Hanagata said.

In the stands, Ryonan high is watching the game closely and didn't want to miss to see a future opponent play.

"Kenji Fujima huh... Uozumi-senpai, if we happen to meet w/ Shoyo next game and I'll be going up against him, right?" Hiroaki Koshino said.

"If we can't handle him well, that will cause a problem for us... He was only the first year to defeat their starters.

With the ace player status, he made into the finals several times and maybe an easy path on the outside but he hasn't tasted a victory against the king of Kainan's Shinichi Maki who beat him all those time." Uozumi said.

"Fujima!!! 3x" shouted by their cheering squad.

"Fujima is determined to defeat Kainan this last tournament of his. This kind of determination is no joke and does Shohoku can continue their winning strike" Uozumi said.

"Fujima is already a star player!"

"That's one heck of a cheering!"

"Where did Noma go?" Sakuragi's gang said.

"Come on, Shohoku!" Haruko is also shouting at the stands.

"Miyagi!" Ayako said.

"Ayako?!" Miyagi looked back at her.

"Do you know that the opponent is the no. one point guard in the prefecture?" Ayako said.

"After I beat the hell out of him them I'll be the best!" Miyagi said.

"Good!" Ayako said.

"Haruko-chan!" Sakuragi stares at her in the audience.

"You've already have three fouls so be careful, Sakuragi-kun!" Haruko shouted.

"Also do your best... Rukawa-kun..." her vision is only on Rukawa the whole time.

"Ayako-san, how many points did I score and Rukawa?" he asked.

"You two points and Rukawa is fourteen points..." Ayako said.

"How about me, Ayako?" Mitsui asked.

"Let's see... twelve points for you, Mitsui" Ayako replied.

"I have to score more on the no. six head and see his miserable face." Mitsui said.

"Please watch me carefully, Haruko-chan!" Sakuragi said.

"Hanamichi! Don't graduate early off the court!!" Three of the gang shouted.

"Our cheering can't compete w/ Shoyo's!" they said.

"What is that? Noma!" Takamiya said.

"Here! Let's go increase the volume of our cheering w/ this!" Noma said.

''So this is our instruments!" they excitedly said.

"But it's still full inside!" Mito said.

"Let's drink it all up, Mito!" they replied.

"What the heck! All of it?" Mito said.

"Hurry up! The game is about to start!" Takamiya said.

"Beeepp!!" the buzzer sounded.

Game restarts!" game announcer said.

"Mom! Dad! Walk slowly, the game is still on-going and wait for me!" Sakura and her parents decided to watch the game since they've nothing to do and her parents are alumni of the Shohoku High.

"You stupid girl! Can't you see that we are late to arrive and the second half has only ten minutes left?" Her dad said.

"It's better to be late than never." Sakura replied.

"Oh my goodness, why did you born beautiful but a little stupid girl?" he said.

"Stop it! You two sit down already!" her mother said.

"Okay!!" the father and daughter replied.

"Let go!!" both captain's said.

"Yeahh!!" Both teams return on the court and things will get tougher in this last ten minutes.

"Hisashi Mitsui..." Shoyo's no. six, Kazushi Hasegawa is ready to sacrifice himself for the team.

"Naaah! Call me Hisashi "D-Ninja" Mitsui!!" he replied.
