Third person's point of view
Anzai-sensei has his reasons of how he arranged the game.
"Kakuta switch with me!" Mitsui shouts.
"Member change!"
Mitsui enters the court and stands in front of his team.
"Mitsui is going to play?"
"Didn't they say they gonna go easy on us?"
The first-years said.
Current score 8-12 to first-years.
"What are you guys doing? This game is the game against the first-years!" Mitsui spoke. "Don't you guys know if we lost, we have to do 50 push-ups?"
"People say that our players are too weak, no skills... Don't you guys feel sorry for yourselves?" Mitsui continues to lecture them.
At the side of the court
"Sakuragi is really good." Kakuta spoke while catching his breath. "Sakuragi is really good. Like his power, speed. And the pressure inside the key are all very... Play him once for real and you will understand."
"How did he do this? How can he catch up in just a few months? Maybe he a genius..." Kakuta continues.
Back to the court
"Lemme play the center position." Mitsui said with determination painted on his face. "Let's play!"
"Mit-chin!" Sakuragi called. "Don't you think you can stop a genius like me! But..."
"Game start!"
"Let's go! Defeat the second and third-years!" the first-years yells as they charge with the ball with them.
Their senpais' immediately defend their ring.
"Bring it on! Sakuragi!" Mitsui yells.
Kanagawa Interhigh has come to the final four. Kainan and Ryonan, who most people think would win, both have record of 1-0. On the other hand, because Shohoku's captain Akagi's injury isn't completely healed yet, Shohoku are facing some difficulties. Since there can only be two teams participating, if Shohoku still wants to get the admission to All-Japan Inter-high Games, then in the next two games, they must win both of them. Facing the challenge of the second game, the first thing on Anzai-sensei's mind about a secondary center (Mitsui) that can support Akagi and Sakuragi. Because of the game against Kainan, Anzai-sensei wants to use this game to let Sakuragi regain his confidence, and his current task is to excel as a basketball player. That's why Anzai-sensei arranged this game of first-years against second and third-years. Kainan's coach Takatou, is also thinking about using Miyamasu to mess around.

As the game continues, the scores turned 18-14 to second and third-years. Sakuragi is getting frustrated about the ball not being able to go in every time he shoots.
Sakuragi has the ball, Mitsui is guarding him.
At the side lines
"Even if Sakuragi got the ball, he can't do anything." Akagi spoke. "Mitsui is really good!"
"Sakuragi idea of going past Mitsui to get under the basket isn't wise. He should – " Ayako said.
"If they want to dunk, they will have to pass Mitsui defense but – in other words, before Sakuragi can take the ball, he has nothing to be afraid of. And I can also forget my pains and pass the ball."
As they chat, Y/n is just listening to her senpais while observing the game at court.
At the court
Sakuragi passes the ball but the ball was shoved making an opportunity for second and third-years to attack.
"Fast break!" Mitsui shouts.
Mitsui has the ball, he was about to shoot when Sakuragi lift from the air, Mitsui suddenly passes the ball to Miyagi. Miyagi jumps with the ball in hand, Rukawa follows the suit. Unfortunately, Miyagi passes the ball to Mitsui and he scores. 20-14 to second and third-years.
Sakuragi has the ball, Mitsui is still guarding him.
"Oh no! don't let him get through!" Ayako spoke.
"After Mitsui started playing, Sakuragi hasn't done anything!" Takamiya shouts from the gym door.
"Our region's top-rated center: Hanagata, Takasago can all easily defeat Sakuragi! But Mitsui can use his teammates' power and let Sakuragi have no chance at all." Akagi spoke. "Mitsui! His basketball senses are the best of the best!"
Back to the court
Sakuragi force to go out of Mitsui's defense because of him getting charging foul.

"Dammit! I won't lose! Mit-chi!" Sakuragi said with frustration.
The first-years' has the ball, Rukawa and Sakuragi is in front of Mitsui. The two boys waiting the ball to pass to them.
"You both want this ball? Who should I pass it to?" Kuwata asked.
"Idiot! What can you do even if you get the ball! Out of my way!" Rukawa said.
"What'd you say? Rukawa, I know you want to show off! Get the hell out of the way!" Sakuragi replied.
"You can't go wrong passing it to Rukawa! Kuwata! Pass to Rukawa!"
He did just that, he passes the ball to Rukawa, and he scored making 20-16 to the seniors.
Sakuragi now has the ball with Mitsui guarding him.
"Let's go! Mit-chi!" Sakuragi challenged and shot the ball. The ball passes the headboard and landed in Haruko's hand.
"Beautiful pass! Sakuragi!" Takamiya said and laugh along with his friends.
"It's okay! Don't make fun of him!" Haruko defended Sakuragi. "Don't mind me! Sakuragi!"
Sakuragi is now red with embarrassment.
"What an idiot, always do something you can't do." Mitsui said. "You can only make shots under the basket."
"I won't listen to my enemy!" Sakuragi said with his hands in his ears.
"That kind of missed up shot will only give everyone trouble!" Rukawa blurted out.
"What did you say!?" Sakuragi exclaimed.
"3 minutes left! Work hard everyone! Ayako shouts.
The game ball continues. Sakuragi got called again for charging. Mitsui is giving Sakuragi advice on how he should palay without getting foul-out. Sakuragi being stubborn he is, he ignored Mitsui. With 2 minutes left, Rukawa scores making Sakuragi even more pissed. 1 minute left. The ball did not go in the ring, Sakuragi got the ball, he shoots but did not go in. Rukawa shoved the ball out to his teammate, fast break. The ball pass through the other side of the court. Sakuragi has the ball. Both Sakuragi and Rukawa jump to shoot the ball, fortunately to two, the ball goes in.
Akagi took a deep breath. "So anyways, Sakuragi your next lesson is to learn how to shoot inside the key in the next 3 days. I probably won't be able to sleep in these 3 days."
Y/n manage to hear what her senpai said. "Don't worry Akagi-senpai, I'll help you. Both of us won't be able to sleep in 3 days." Y/n said and smiled at her senpai.
"He's not listening." Ayako said.
Shohoku's basketball team all watching at the ring where Sakuragi and Rukawa still holding.
"Man! Those 2 guys don't know when to stop!"
"Maybe one day those 2 guys will become the best partners in Japan." Anzai-sensei spoke.
The game ball ended with 260-18 to the seniors.

Godfather Of Champions
This is a story about the pursuit of victory.— «I subscribe only to the theory of victory. I only pursue victory. As long as I am able to obtain victory, I don’t care if it’s total football or counterattack. What is the ultimate goal of professional soccer? In my opinion, it is victory, and the pinnacle of victory is to become the champions. I am a manager. If I don’t wish to lose my job or be forgotten by the people, there’s only one path for me to take, and that is to lead the team in obtaining victories, in obtaining championship titles!»The main character was not well-liked by people.— «⋯We conducted a survey which had been deemed by Manager Tony Twain as extremely meaningless. In a random street survey conducted, ninety-three percent of those surveyed chose the option ‘I hate Tony Twain’, while only seven percent chose the option ‘This person is rather decent, I like him’. It is worth noting that nobody chose the option ‘Who is Tony Twain? I don’t know him’. Mark, do you know why Manager Twain felt that our survey was very meaningless?» Parker, a reporter from laughed loudly and said when he was being interviewed by BBC.But there were also people who were madly in love with him.— When Tony Twain was forced to talk about the survey conducted by during an interview, his reply was : «I am happy, because Nottingham Forest’s fans make up seven percent of England’s population.»And he did not seem to care about how the others saw him.— «What are you all trying to make me say? Admit that I am not popular, and everywhere I go will be filled with jeers and middle fingers. You all think I will be afraid? Wrong! Because I am able to bring victory to my team and its supporters. I don’t care how many people hate me and can’t wait to kill me, and I also won’t change myself to accommodate the mood of these losers. You want to improve your mood? Very simple, come and defeat me.»His love story had garnered widespread attention.— «Our reporters took these pictures at Manager Tony Twain’s doorsteps. It clearly shows that Shania entered his house at 8.34pm and she did not leave the house throughout the night at all. But Manager Tony Twain firmly denies, and insists that that was merely the newest-model inflatable doll which he had ordered.He was the number one star of the team.— «⋯ Became the spokesperson of world-wide famous clothing brands, shot advertisements, frequented the fashion industry’s award ceremonies, endorsed electronic games, has a supermodel girlfriend. His earnings from advertisements exceed his club salary by seventeen times, owns a special column in various print medias, publishing his autobiography (in progress), and is even said that he is planning to shoot an inspirational film based off his own person experiences! Who can tell me which part of his life experiences is worthy of being called ‘inspirational’? Hold on⋯. Are you all thinking that I’m referring to David Beckham? You’re sorely mistaken! I’m talking about Manager Tony Twain⋯.»He was very knowledgeable about Chinese soccer.— «⋯ I’ve heard about it, that Bora gifted four books to his manager Mr. Zhu before your country’s national team’s warm up match. After which, the team lost 1:3 to a nameless American team from Major League Soccer. The new excuse that Mr. Zhu gave for losing the match, was that Bora gifted «books» (‘books’ and ‘lose’ are homophones in the Chinese language). Here, I recommend that you guys find out what that one specific book is. Which book? Of course the one that caused you all to score a goal. After that, tell me the title of the book. Before every match, I will gift ten copies of that same book to you. In that case, won’t you all be able to get a triumphant 10:0 win over your opponents every time?» An excerpt taken from Tony Twain’s special column in a certain famous Chinese sports newspaper.He was loved and hated by the press.— «He has a special column in at least four renowned print media, and he is able to get a considerable amount of remuneration just by scolding people or writing a few hundred words of nonsense weekly. While we have to contemplate hard about our drafts for three days before our boss is pleased with it. In an article inside his special column, he scolded and called all of the media ‘son of a bitch’, announcing that he hated the media the most. But every time he publishes an article, we flock towards him like flies which had spotted butter. Why? Because the readers like to read his news and see him scold people. I dare to bet with you, and Manager Tony Twain knows clearly in his heart as well, that even though he says that he hates us, he knows that the present him cannot do without us. Similarly, we also cannot do without him. Is this ultimately considered a good or a bad thing?» Bruce Pearce, a reporter from said with a face of helplessness when talking about Tony Twain.But no matter the case, his players were his most loyal believers.— Gareth Bale, «No no, we never had any pressure when playing on our home grounds. Because the pressure is all on the manager. As long as we see him standing by the side of the field, all of us will feel that we will be able to win that match. Even the football hooligans are like meek lambs in front of him!» (After saying this, he began to laugh out loudly)The reply from George Wood, the team captain of Nottingham Forest, was the most straightforward. «We follow him because he can bring us victory.»The legendary experience of Tony Twain, the richest, most successful, most controversial manager with the most unique personality!Debuting this summer.Thank you for reading.
