Chapter 172

Uozumi is back in! But Shouhoku is still too fast!! :star_struck: Like the coach I’m also holding my breath to see if the tide will change or not :grimacing: But Shouhoku has been doing so well!! I hope they aren’t out of steam yet

Also, it just occurred to me this chapter, this match isn’t ending in this volume lol

Chapter 173

Man, it’ll be annoying if Ryonan starts getting points by getting away with charging without getting fouled :face_with_steam_from_nose:

30 second violation!!! I wonder if his flashback made him loose some of his concentration?

Dang, that was a fast play!!! One point to Ryonan
Okay, and the 「オレはチームの主役じゃなくていい」was sweet

Ahhh, yeah I’m worried about how this match could be turning!

Chapter 176

Oh shoot I really like that artwork in the two page spread of Sendo getting around Sakuragi


The drawing is looking straight into my soul :sob::joy:

Chapter 177

Poor stressed Kogure

「ファウル軍団」笑笑

I forgot why Kogure can’t play? He didn’t get to many fouls did he? Or is he acting in place of the coach, and thus can’t play in the match? I forgor

RUKAWA SLAM DUNKKKKK
