"Great job Hanamichi." Kawai Mari said. "You scored 23 points and 21 rebounds."
"Old Man Coach entrusted me to take care of the rebounds." Hanamichi Sakuragi#10 said. "Me and Kaede continued to contributed more points."
"You still got a long way to go to become one of the best players in Kanagawa." Ryota Miyagi#4 said.
"Ryota has a point." Ayako said. "Ryonan and Kainan are still need to beat them."
"I'll show that wild monkey is all about." Hanamichi Sakuragi#10 said.
"You mean Nobunaga Kiyota of Kainan." Kaede Rukawa#11 said.
"That's right!" Hanamichi Sakuragi#10 said.
Nightfall, Kawai and Hanamichi were sleeping in the bed.
"Kawai. How is your swimming team?" Hanamichi Sakuragi asked.
"We beat Hiruimo swimming team to claimed the 1st place and made it to the Inter High." Kawai Mari said.
"Tomorrow our next opponent will Miuradai." Hanamichi Sakuragi said.
"Shohoku will win for sure." Kawai Mari said. "You and Kaede will lead Shohoku to victory."
"We will win for sure." Hanamichi Sakuragi said.
The next morning, the Round of 16 is about to start is against Miuradai, the starters didn't changed.
"Let's beat Miuradai!!!" Ryota Miyagi#4 said.
As the game starts, it looks like Shohoku dominated as former players Kenji Fujima and Shinichi Maki witnessed the game.
"Hanamichi and Kaede became dominants." Kenji Fujima said. "We did witnessed the first two previous games."
"Hanamichi is already following Takenori Akagi's footstep." Shinichi Maki said. "He is probably becoming not only the new dominant center of Kanagawa but the most dangerous center."
Hanamichi got 20 rebounds and 10 blocks while Kaede grabs 12 rebounds and 10 assists. Ryota made 12 assists and 17 steals.
"Ryota is becoming the all-time playmaker since he was the current captain of Shohoku." Kenji Fujima said.
"I admit. Ryota becomes the unstoppable lightning-quick point guard." Shinichi Maki said. "Ryota. Now Fujima and I were already retired, we wanted to see you if you are truly worthy to become the next number one point guard in Kanagawa."
"Ichiro!!!" Hanamichi Sakuragi#10 said as he passed the ball to Ichiro.
"Great pass Hanamichi!" Ichiro Sendoh#15 said as he throws a slam dunk.
Later, the buzzer beater sounded which marks another victory for Shohoku.
