Chapter 4
At AKIBA ACADEMY BASKETBALL COURT
"Beep!"
"White 04! Charging!" said the referee as he blew the whistle.
"Yabai...3 fouls half way to the match...Coach will definitely substitute me if I get another...DAMN! Jun concentrate!" Jun shouted in his mind.
Jun was struggling to concentrate. Throughout the match, he keep looking at the entrance or around the court. Hoping to catch a glimpse
of Matsui senpai somewhere. Just then, the referee blew another whistle.
"Beep!"
"White team! Player change!" said the referee.
"Jun!" a voice called out.
Jun turned towards his team. It seems his worse fear came early. Akimoto signalled Jun to head back to the team's rest area. Kai, Sae, Riku and
Kuu was shocked by their coach's decision and can only look on as Jun walked out the court. They have no choice but to continue on without Jun.
On the other hand, Togasaki see this as a chance to widen the score point. He hand signalled Takeru to change their formation, going for full offensive.
"Form A now!" Takeru said to players.
As soon as the match resumed, the score between the school widen drastically. Kai and the others had no choice but to go full defensive in order
to stop the score from widening. Akiba Academy is now 12 points behind Majisuka Academy. Previously with Jun around, they were able to keep
the points gap within 4.
"Coach! I need to be in there! Please sub me in!" Jun pleaded.
"......" Akimoto simply ignore Jun's plea.
"We can't win like this! Kai and the others needs me now!" Jun pleaded once again.
"Win? With you like this?" Akimoto asked not looking at Jun.
"Akimoto sensei!!" Jun called out several times but Akimoto does not answer him.
At this moment, Jun is filled with anger, he felt that his coach is picking on him. Unable to contain his frustrations, he kicked the bench a
nd stormed out the court. Seeing Jun walked out the court angrily, Kai was worried but was not able to do anything except fighting on
to reduce their lost points.
"Don't worry...I believe somebody else will help us get Jun back...so now lets concentrate...we can't afford to lose anymore points..." Sae said to Kai.
"Right....." Kai replied and continue the match.
At the water basin area
"Damn! What is wrong..." Jun said while splashing water to wash his face, trying cool down.
"Why doesn't sensei let me continue to play...why!" Jun said angrily and he slammed his hands on the basin.
Jun keep venting his frustration out by splashing the water to his face. Making himself drenched. Just then...
"Kyaaaa...Stop it! Stop it!"
Jun heard a girl's voice protesting.
"Yabai..." Jun said as he knew he must have accidentally splashed someone with water.
Jun quickly turned off the tap. And turned around, bowing down to apologize without looking at the person.
"Gomennasai!" Jun said.
Jun then looked up. Nobody is there.
"Did I hear wrongly? Jun said.
"Anoo...who are you apologizing to? I am right here." the girl said.
Jun then turned to look at his right, following the voice. Its Matsui senpai! Now Jun is really embarrassed, he did not expect to meet
senpaiin this manner. Worse of all, while he is splashing water like a mad man, he splashed it on senpai! Once again, he froze there.
Not knowing what to say.
"Anoo...daijoubu desu ka? You seems to be not in your usual form today..." Rena said as she took out a hand towel from her bag to wipe herself dry.
"What do you mean senpai?" Jun defreeze and asked, surprised by what Matsui senpai said.
"You were looking everywhere...you don't seem to blend into the team play...mistakes which I think you hardly commit actually happened today...
like passing the ball to the opponent or losing grip from balls passed to you..." Rena said honestly.
"So you were there! You came to see me!...NO! I mean...I mean US! Our team!" Jun said excitedly.
"Oh no...Matsui senpai was looking at me all this time? Am I dreaming?..." Jun thought happily in his mind. His happiness however, is short lived,
as what she said strike him.
"I was looking everywhere...I don't blend into the team play? Meaning...I lack in focus?" Jun asked himself in his mind seriously.
"Gomen! Senpai...I need to go back to the court...." Jun said realizing his mistake.
Before Rena was able to reply, Jun ran as fast as he could back to the court. He accidentally knocked down a trash can and then clumsily put the
trash can back to its position. She laughed, as she sees of how silly Jun looks.
"Looks like he is back to himself..." Rena thought.
Rena then kept her hand towel and walked towards the basketball court.
At AKIBA ACADEMY BASKETBALL COURT
As Jun enters the court, he saw the scoreboard showing 48 : 62. Majisuka Academy is leading 14 points now. Everyone on team
Akiba is cheering frantically. Time left to end of match, 12 minutes.
"Come everyone...defend!" Kai shouted to his team mates.
"Kuu...man no.8!" Sae shouted.
The opponent wearing jersey no.4 preparing to make his shot. As he take aim and shoot out, Kuu ran as fast as he could and made a leap.
"NOT SO FAST!" Kuu said as he tried to block his opponent's shot.
"YATTA!!!"
Kai ran to Kuu and hugged him. Kuu managed to block off his opponent's shot. As Kuu was the last man to touch the ball when it went out the court,
Majisuka Academy get to start the ball.
"Here it comes!" Riku said.
Seeing his friends fighting hard, Jun cannot bear this anymore. He walked up to Akimoto and said.
"Sensei! Gomenasai! Please reconsider on letting me play for the team! I realized my lack of conviction. Please forgive me." Jun pleaded as he bows to Akimoto.
"Sensei! Please forgive Jun! I believe he realizes whatever mistakes he committed...Please give him another chance..." the other team mates helped Jun plea.
"......" Akimoto simply concentrate on looking at the team play without saying anything.
"SENSEI! Onegai!" Jun pleaded once again.
"Beep!"
Majisuka Academy scored. Bringing the score points to 48: 64, with the lead of 16 points. Akimoto stood up, and made a hand signal to the referee.
"Beep"
"White player change!" said the referee.
"Go..." Akimoto said as he tapped on Jun's shoulder.
Jun looked at Akimoto. He was surprised by Akimoto's sudden decision of letting him play. In order not to let his coach and team mates down.
This time, he is full of determination to win by giving his all.
"HAI!" Jun said and went into the match court.
"Okaerinasai..." Riku said while exchanging hi-five with Jun.
"Time to payback..." Jun said confidently.
"Of course! That why we are here." Kuu said.
"Lets go! Akiba!" Kai and Sae said.
With Jun's comeback, the team spirit is high again. Jun is the sharp shooter in the team. With 7 minutes remaining, he scored three 3-pointers,
narrowing down the gap to 7 points. They were also able to stop the opponent from scoring any more points. Successfully defending against Majisuka.
Seeing a change in Akiba's formation, Togasaki signalled Takeru to change formation. To full defensive and offensive for the remaining 7 minutes.
Takeru nodded. As he was about to tell his team mates, he notice a girl was cheering energetically .
"Who is she? I remember seeing her at every match..." Takeru thought to himself.
"Captain!" Tomohisa shouted.
Hearing that, Takeru snapped out from his thought and convey their coach's message to his team mates. Now, everybody is man marked.
Which made it harder for the Akiba team to score with each of them being shadowed by a opponent.
With 1 minute left, the Akiba team was able to narrow down the gap to 2 points. The score now is 63 : 65, with Majisuka Academy still leading.
"Kai!" Riku shouted as he passed the ball out to Kai.
Kuu and Sae ran towards the opponent shadowing Kai, helped block him away from Kai. With his friends help, Kai sprint his way towards the
basket while bouncing the ball.
"STOP HIM!" Tomohisa shouted and everyone sprint towards Kai.
Kai then made his shot.
"Beep"
"Blue no.7! Shooting foul!" said the referee.
When Kai was making his shot, Takeru accidentally knocked into him and that caused both of them to fall. Everyone of the Akiba team was cheering
happily when Kai was awarded two foul shots.
"Focus Kai! I can do this..." Kai said to himself as he prepare for his first attempt.
As the referee blew the whistle, Kai made his shot. He leap forward lightly and slowly released the ball.
"Bong"
The ball hit the ring and bounced off. Kai shook his head upon seeing the rebound.
"KAI! You idiot!" FOCUS!!" Kai said to himself as he held the ball tightly.
"Its ok Kai..." Sae said as he looked at Kai.
Kai took in a big breath and prepare himself for the last attempt. He jumped and made the shot. As he put in much more strength than his previous,
the ball bounced off as excepted. This is because Sae was the one who suggested it. Before the last attempt, Sae used his eyes to signal where Jun
is while talking to Kai. Kai knew exactly what he meant and put in more force for this shot.
"GET THE REBOUND!" Everyone in the court shouted.
"AHHHHH!!!! ITS MINE!!!" Riku shout out as he grab the ball.
"Jun!!!" Sae shouted and Jun quickly run into his best position.
"Makaseru!" Riku said as he pass the ball to Jun before he land on the ground.
Jun made his shot at his 3-pointer position as soon as he got the ball and the ball went into the basket!
"Beep"
"No count! 63 : 65. Majisuka Academy win!" the referee said.
What a waste! Jun made his shot right after the referee blew whistle. That is why his 3-pointer was not counted. Hearing the referee's declaration,
the Akiba team members stopped in their motion while the Majisuka Academy team celebrates their win.
"If only I score all the foul shots...we would be able to draw with them and go for extra time..." Kai said angrily to himself as he dropped to his knees.
"If only I passed the ball to Jun faster...Why didn't I jump higher?" Riku reprimanded himself in his mind.
"Its my fault that we lost...its my fault..." Jun said to Sae, while Sae tried to assure him that it wasn't that case.
"......" Kuu was just standing there, trying to cool himself. He was really disappointed with the result. He does not blame anyone since this is a team
effort and he knows that everyone did their best.
"Come on guys...lineup..." Sae said as he pull everyone to form a line.
With both teams lined up, they bowed as they greet each other with "Thanks for the match!" followed by a handshake with the other team members.
"Your team has matured, Akimoto...We were lucky this time." Togasaki said as he shakes Akimoto's hand.
"We definitely will win next time with our skills and with all the luck on our side." Akimoto said confidently.
"Good...I look forward to that." Togasaki said and then he left the school with his team.
As Akimoto walk towards his dejected team, he knew consoling them is useless. Even though he felt that they actually performed well,
as compared to the previous match with Majisuka. But, a loss is a loss. Knowing his team well, Akimoto believe they would be able to reflect
by themselves without him saying anything.
"I have nothing to debrief for today... tomorrow there will be no practice... all of you are dismissed...go back and have a good rest..."
Akimoto said as he leave the court.
"Arigato gozaimasu....." Everyone said and bowed to their coach.
"Alright...Everyone, pack up and have a good rest. See you at the next practice." Sae said as he clapped his hands to gather attention.
The members started to leave one by one, while the 5 aces of the team stayed on. Acchan not knowing what to do, continued to sit at the
audience sitting area with Rena as company.
Moments ago, the court is filled with shouts and bouncing ball. Battling to win. Now, it is filled with the cries of 5 bitter guys. Who have lost.
