IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE MATCH, DUE TO HIS RETURN, AICHI'S STAR WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE GAME. PLUS, THEY WERE ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF MEIHOU'S MORIMOTO HIROSHI AND GAKUIN IN THE CENTER WHEN THEY COUNTERATTCACKED. HOWEVER, THE LEAD MEIHOU HAD BUILT IN THE FIRST HALF WAS JUST TOO MUCH; AIWA WAS UNABLE TO CATCH UP.SCOREBOARD:MEIHOU74 AIW68THE FINAL RESULT, MEIHOU TAKES 1ST PLACE IN AICHI FOR THE FIRST TIME, EARNING ITSELF A SPOT IN THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS. ALTHOUGH THEY WERE STILL ABLE TO LEAVE WITH 2ND PLACE, THE IMPACT OF THE CRUSHING DEFEAT OF THE WELL-KNOWN AIWA AS MEIHOU'S FRESHMAN, MORIMOTO HIROSHI... LEFT A SOLEMN ATMOSPHERE WITH THE ENTIRE STADIUM.
MAKI: I DIDN'T THINK THAT AICHI HAD A SUCH A PLAYER... I'M AFRAID THAT YOUR FIRST NATIONALS CHAMPIONSHIP IS GOING TO BE OVERSHADOWED BY HIM! TAKASAGO BY HIMSELF WON'T BE A MATCH FOR HIM... IT'S A GOOD THING I CAME TO WATCH THE GAME...
NOTE: TAKESAGO IS KAINAN'S CENTER
COACH ANZAI: I WATCHED THE FILM OF THE MATCH AGAINST RYONAN... YOU STILL HAVE NOT CAUGHT UP TO SENDOH-KUN. IF YOU GO OFF TO AMERICA NOW... ISN'T THAT THE SAME THING AS RUNNING AWAY?RUKAWA: IT'S NOT... NOT TO MENTION THAT THERE WILL PERHAPS BE PLAYERS EVEN STRONGER THAN HIM IN THE NATIONALS.COACH ANZAI: WHAT I'M SAYING IS... YOU HAVE TO FIRST BECOME NUMBER ONE IN JAPAN! WHEN YOU REACH THAT MOMENT, AMERICA WILL STILL BE THERE FOR YOU TO GO TO.SAKURAGI: BASTARDHIROSHI: AH SORRY!
IN ABOUT ONE MONTH'S TIME... MORIMOTO HIROSHI WILL BE NAME THAT EVERYONE WILL KNOW.
KIYOTA: HEHEHEHE... SO EMBARASSING!
