Y/n Sendoh, little sister of the ace of Ryonan High School, Akira Sendoh. She is a shy, smart and plays basketball with the help of his older brother. In middle school she became friends with Kaede Rukawa. What will happen if the two friends from mi...
The gym is filled with shouts about Sakuragi accepting Sendoh's challenge.
"That bastard's on the court again... who does he think he is!" Koshino said getting frustrated.
Sakuragi growled at what Koshino said about him.
"You hear that!? Moron! You shut! You're really annoying! I have to defeat you too!" Sakuragi yelled while pointing at Koshino.
"Even he's Anzai-sensei's student, this is unforgivable! He is too rude! Referee! Watch him!" Takoa-sensei yelled while pointing at Sakuragi.
"What did you say old man!?" Sakuragi yelled back at Takoa-sensei.
"You sit down!" Akagi yelled at Sakuragi.
"Yikes..." Sakuragi sighed. "Damn... Gori..."
Sakuragi obeyed Akagi and seat between Ayako and Anzai-sensei.
Back to the game, the current score is 52-45 still in favor of Ryonan High.
Akagi has the ball Uozumi is guarding him.
"Pushing!" Kogure yelled. "Ref! Pushing!"
"Pushing white (Ryonan) number 4!" The referee yelled.
Shohoku cheered. Uozumi make his wait in front of the referee.
"That wasn't a foul!? Ref! What?!" Uozumi yelled at the referee.
"That was a foul! Good call ref!" Kogure shouted at their conversation. Uozumi glared at him and he looked away.
Shohoku has the ball, Sendoh is guarding Rukawa. They can't pass the ball to Rukawa because Sendoh has a good defense.
"Sakuragi-kun." Anzai-sensei called and put his hand on Sakuragi's knee. "Go warm up."
"Warm up?!" Sakuragi stand and faced Anzai-sensei while narrowing his eyes. "Why are you speaking english? You think you're so good."
"The one who thinks highly of himself is you!" Ayako said and slap her paper fan to his head. "Doesn't even know what warm up mean..."
"Sakuragi, what sensei means is to exercise your hands and feet to warm your body up!" Y/n explained.
"Understand! Sakuragi Hanamichi." Ayako asked. "This means you're going to be playing pretty soon!"
Everyone's attention turned to Sakuragi who's ball handling in a fast phase. Sendoh looks excited while Akagi looks worried.
"He seems pretty capable with the ball handling skills!" Ayako said.
Ayako looked at Sakuragi to he how he was doing. "You don't have to do that much!" Ayako stopped Sakuragi from doing the ball handling to fast.
Sakuragi stopped and seat at the floor while catching his breath.
"If you're going to be like this then you're going to be tired before you get to play." Y/n said to Sakuragi and hand him a towel.
After Y/n hand him the towel, her and Ayako get back to their seat.
"There's only 10 minutes left, it's a 7-point difference... we have a chance to catch up." Ayako said to Anzai-sensei. "If they pull away from us now, with the remaining time it will be difficult for us to win right?"
"That's true." Anzai-sensei agreed.
"Offense!" Referee called. "Pushing! White (Ryonan) number 4!"
"Yeah! It's an offensive foul!" The Shohoku players yelled.
They suddenly stopped cheering when they saw Akagi's temple is bleeding. He got elbowed by Uozumi, the referee calls a time-out.
"Akagi-sempai." Ayako called and made her way to Akagi with Y/n following behind.
"Don't worry! It's nothing." Akagi said.
"But Akagi-sempai, you have to get that looked at." Y/n said.
Takoa-sensei made his way to Akagi.
"Akagi-kun, are you alright?" Takoa-sensei asked and tuned to his players. "Oi! Find someone to send him to the infirmary!"
"I'm fine Takoa-sensei." Akagi said to Tako-sensei.
"Oi... Akagi, you..." Uozumi said with a worry printed on his face.
"Don't worry, I'll be back!" Akagi said and give a small smile to assure Uozumi.
"Y/n-chan stay here I'll go with Akagi-senpai." Ayako said to her kohai.
Y/n nodded, still worried about his senpai.
Suddenly, an arm is wrapped around her shoulder.
"Don't you worry, he'll be fine." He whispered to Y/n ear and made her shiver.
Y/n looked at her shoulder and saw it was Rukawa.
"You better wait for Akagi-senpai to come back before you finish the game, Kaede-kun." Y/n said.
"Yeah, will do." Rukawa said.
"Oi..." Akagi called Sakuragi. "Did you warm up?"
"I did!" Sakuragi said.
"Then you take my place." Akagi said to Sakuragi.
Everyone was shock about what Akagi just said.
"No problem!" Sakuragi said having confidence because Akagi trusted him to take his place.
There's only 9 minutes left, the game is still going. The current score is 68-61 still in Ryonan's favor.
Everyone in the gym cheered for Sakuragi, he finally gets a chance to play in the court.
