OVERCOMING A LOCKDOWN: TAKESHI KAYANO CHECKS IN THE GAME

(Everyone sits on the bench)

(Everyone breathes heavily)

(Kogure): 25-18 , Toshigawa has pushed us back into a corner, what will you do coach?

Haruko: great work Kawaguchi- senpai

(Hands Tetsuo a towel)

Tetsuo: Thank you

Hayato: Tetsuo is the best, thank god he's on our side

Takahiro: you can say that again

Nanaho: great work out there everyone, you really changed the flow of this game Tetsuo, thank you

Tetsuo: yes

(Noboru gasping for air)

Nanaho: Noboru you look exhausted

Noboru: well of course I am, you told me to run throughout the whole entire game(Breathes heavily)

(Yokonan's coach closes his eyes and takes a deep breath)

(Kogure and Kayano): here it comes

Yokonan's coach: words can't describe how disappointed I am in all of you who played today. For seven minutes you guys were unable to score a single point, you were completely locked down. This is disgraceful to be led by a team with more rookies than seniors. I honestly don't know what to do to help any of you. Do you think we can make it to the inter high if we can't even beat them

Kayano: coach

Yokonan's coach: what is it Kayano?

Kayano: do you mind if I play in the second quarter, I'll be taking Eiji's place

Yokonan's coach: go ahead , take over the game and be sure to not screw up

Kayano: relax coach, this game is in the bag

(Manabu): how did that one player single handedly take the lead from us. And he completely shut me down the whole time he was playing. Where is he from?

(Whistle blows)

???: time up

Yukio: alright team let's go win this

Everyone: yes

Nanaho: Noboru take a break, Shino will be playing the second quarter

Noboru: what, no way!!

Nanaho: you are exhausted and you need a breather, we need you for the last minutes so you'll have to rest

Noboru: but even if Katsuragi goes on it won't make a difference, he'll just hold them back

Nanaho: that's it one more word out of you and you'll sit on the bench for the rest of the game

Noboru: okay, okay I understand

Nanaho: good

(Shino walks out on the court with his head down)

Hayato: hey Shino

Shino: yes?

Hayato: look alive , let's win this

(Hayato gives Shino a fist bump)

Shino: yes

???: substitution

(Kayano fixs his jersey in his shorts)

Kayano: finally, I can get a piece of the action

(Nanaho): I knew that he had to play his cards sooner or later, however I didn't expect it to be this quick

(Hayato): he actually put Kayano in the game (smirks) this is going to be fun

(Manabu inbounds the basketball to Kayano)

(Kayano dribbles the basketball up court)

(Hayato steps up to guard Kayano)

(Hayato): I have to stop him for the team

(Kayano crosses through his legs)

( Kayano changes his pace)

(Hayato): crap! He got by me

(Kayano drives to the hoop)

(Kayano goes up for a layup)

(Yukio tries to block)

(Kayano passes to Ryuu)

(Ryuu dunks the basketball)

???: nice play, Takeshi, keep it up!!

(Nanaho): Takeshi Kayano is a fierce one. He can change his pace, speed and the direction he's going at any time he pleases. Not to mention he is very good at creating openings for his teammates

(Yukio fake spin)

(Ryuu): crap

(Yukio scores a layup)

(Kayano dribbles the basketball up court)

(Hayato): you won't get by me as easily as last time

(Kayano half spins)

(Kayano crosses behind the back)

(Hayato): crap , he got by me

(Kayano fakes a pass to Ryuu)

(Yukio): he's going to pass

(Kayano shoots a two pointer)

(Swoosh)

Eiji: nice one Kayano

(Nanaho): it's seems that Hayato can't stop Kayano, this will be a problem, however there's nothing I can do, changing markers right now would do us more harm than good. Tetsuo has Manabu to guard, while Yukio is covering Ryuu. And I doubt either Shino or Takahiro can handle him

(Kayano steals the ball from Hayato)

(Hayato): crap

Kayano: let's score some points , show them that Yokonan isn't filled with a bunch of push overs

Yokonan's team: yes

(Ryuu sets a screen for Kayano)

Hayato: crap

(Kayano dribbles to the hoop)

(Tetsuo cuts him off)

(Kayano passes the ball to Manabu)

(Takahiro): oh no

(Manabu goes up for a three pointer)

(Takahiro tries to block)

(Takahiro): crap I was too late

(Swoosh)

???: now that's what I'm talking about, nice shot Manabu

(Yokonan's coach): Kayano is the best guard a coach can ask for, he makes the game flow so smoothly for us while at the same time breaking down the other team's defense. I can rest easy now, we will take the lead from here on out

(Haruko): that number six is good

(Nanaho): Kayano really is making this game more complicated for us, ill have to figure out a way to keep him in check

(Hayato passes to Yukio in the post)

Ryuu: bring it on, number 7

(Yukio): his defense is solid, can't break through

(Yukio passes the basketball to Takahiro)

(Takahiro passes to Hayato)

(Hayato): damn , ever since he came on , he made it difficult to see the basket, I need an opening, some kind of opportunity

(Yokonan player half guards Shino)

(Hayato): there it is

(Hayato fake passes to Takahiro)

Hayato: Shino catch

Shino: right

Kayano: don't move, he will pass the ball , stick to your markers

(Shino goes up for a shot)

(Manabu): he really is going to shoot)

(Manabu jumps)

Ryuu: Manabu you idiot

(Manabu): a fake, but…

Shino: Tetsuo!

(Shino passes the basketball to Tetsuo)

(Tetsuo shoots a three pointer)

(Swoosh)

???: that number 11 is at it again, that's his fourth one

(Yokonan's coach): That idiot Manabu fell for that amateur's feint

(Kogure): the coach seems to be boiling with rage, yeah training will be more gruesome from here on out

Nanaho : nice shot , Tetsuo

(Kogure): wait did she just say Tetsuo, where have I heard that name before?

(Kayano passes the ball to his teammate)

(Teammate scores a layup)

(Takahiro scores a two pointer)

(swoosh)

(Ryuu sets a screen for Manabu)

(Manabu scores a layup)

(Yukio scores a bank shot)

(Kayano passes to a teammate)

(Teammate scores a two pointer)

(Kogure): Kayano brought a boost to the team's offense, however, they will not be able to close the gap like this, what will you do coach?

(Hayato passes the basketball to Tetsuo)

(Tetsuo fakes)

(Tetsuo drives to the basket)

(Scores a contact layup)

(Shino dribbles to the other side of the court)

(Manabu): Number six is so fast, I can't catch up

(Shino reaches the basketball hoop)

(Shino): stay calm, remember what Tetsuo taught you, take two steps and then

(Shino lays the ball on the back board)

(Swoosh)

(Shino): no way, it went in, it went in!!!

Shino: my first in game points I did it , I did it
