Inside the Kanagawa Prefecture gymnasium, the match entered its final stages. Shohoku held a commanding 122:65 lead over Miuratai, and the outcome was no longer in doubt.
Despite this, one person on the court was still fighting tooth and nail: Shohoku’s power forward, Hanamichi Sakuragi! Hanamichi was battling hard for every single point!
Miuratai had completely abandoned tactics on the offensive end, with their players fighting entirely as individuals, trying to salvage a shred of pride through one-on-one plays. Their point guard barely managed to break past Ryota Miyagi, then kicked the ball out to Tetsuji Naito under the basket!
