Furihata smiles a little, a hint of amusement could be seen on his face.
His room that only one minute ago filled with chatter and laughter suddenly turned into a dead silent one, and Kise who seems very lively since the beginning now could only hide behind his senpai while glancing at Midorima with a wary expression.
Well, Kise’s reaction is kinda normal in Furihata’s book, con...

“So, we won the game at the cost of me, and Red got injured and probably wouldn’t be able to play for the Tokyo Final League next week, huh?” Furihata hummed after hearing the story from his senpai. “What about Red? How bad is his injury?”
Riko shrugged a little before she answered,
“We will know about it soon. He will go to this hospital today for an MRI scan to see how...

Furihata has a dumbfounded expression on his face right after he processed what Riko just said.
“I am sorry, did I hear just wrong? Did we lose? Even though we have two points lead and a flagrant foul advantage? You are joking, right?” Furihata asked for confirmation, still couldn’t believe that they would lose.
And his reaction is not an exaggeration, considering they should ...

Furihata didn’t know nor could he remember what happened before. All he knows is something hit his face hard and all of the sudden, he passed out. So, when he gained his consciousness back, his mind is running wild, trying to form any idea about his condition.
‘Where am I?’
‘What is that annoying beeping sound?’

“Well done, everyone!” Riko praised her team, extremely pleased with how the last five minutes run.
Even though they started without most of their core players, the bench players managed to hold Shutoku to only lead five points. And the moment when Furihata and Kuroko went back on the court, they overtake the lead once again, showing that even without Kagami, they could hold their gro...

Midorima executed all three free throws flawlessly, shortening the gap between both teams to five points while ending the third quarter at the same time. However, that is not what all Seirin players worried about the most.
No, it is the condition of their best player, Kagami, who had to be bought outside by the official tournament’s medic team that makes them feel anxious. The clash bet...

“This game is crazy!” Kise exclaimed as he raised up from his seat to get a better looking at the court. Kasamatsu also did the same, considering almost all the audience in front of them jumped from their seat the moment Midorima blocked Kagami’s dunk attempt.
No, it should be way before, in the sequence when Kagami did a chase-down block at Miyaji’s attempt layup and posterizing ...

“Something wrong, Furihata-kun?” Riko asked curiously. Instead of giving a clear answer, Furihata shook his head a little before saying,
“Look at his eyes.” He pointed his finger at Midorima. “Red is really poking the sleeping tiger here. Let’s hope he can still keep it u...

The game restarted with the ball in Takao’s hand. But this time, with Midorima on the court, all Seirin players prepared their defense for the three-point attack to come. Furihata who is guarding Miyaji also looks at Midorima with wariness, preparing to double-team him with Koganei.
However, to their surprise, Shutoku didn’t use Midorima right after he is on the court. No, they use hi...

The game restarted again, and now, Tsugawa is holding the ball, being guarded by Furihata. However, Seiho’s shooting guard cannot help but frown at his guard.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Furihata is three steps in front of him, spreading his arms wide to stop his drive. With how far the distance he is guarding Tsugawa, it is almost like Furihata is daring him to take a shoot.

The rest of the game is getting easier for Seirin. Now that Kagami is able to think with a cool head, he didn’t try to face Otou-san head-on. He uses a different approach now, pressuring Otou-san to force him to take bad shots. Just like right now, Kagami won’t let Otou-san face the basket. He keeps forcing Otou-san into the post-up game, and when Otou-san pulled up a shoot, he jumped right...
