| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Defense, defense, defense! Yup, this episode had excitement, kinda like a competitive game between two teams eager to win. Glad to see all the guys so fired up though. It made the episode itself exciting especially some of the key plays. |
 |
| Kite receiving that one pass at the end of the episode is the highlight of the episode |
| 'Geniuses are surprisingly... fragile'. I love that this theme is being incorporated; it works really well, especially in sports' anime genius character archetypes centred around being the prominent ball handler (e.g Kageyama from Haikyuu, or Akaashi from Kuroko no Basket). When the genius who holds the team together begins to crumble, so does the team. If the 'brain' stops working, the body won't function. (real sports anime weebs are gonna get that reference hahaha) |
  We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths. As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are. That's what death is, don't you think? ------------------------------------ Itachi Uchiha |
| I don't get how they're shutting down Chiaki. In other news, Momoharu scored!! I thought we was gonna dunk it in, but I'm still proud of him. |
| Leaves from the vine~ |
Isn't it offensive interference? |
Stuzfin said: I don't get how they're shutting down Chiaki. In other news, Momoharu scored!! I thought we was gonna dunk it in, but I'm still proud of him. It's simple, no where to pass no where to dirve. To stop a good passing point guard, who is slow you just deny guard him close and close the passing lanes. That rule is mostly used only if the ball is gowing towards the basket, this would be a deadball in most cases and it's the refs decision. Depending on the league and rules but 90% of the time since the ball was going out it is not goaltending, plus he didnt touch the rim before the ball or the net so it's all clean in my eyes. |

Ok, I wasn't sure and wanted to ask. Thanks for clarification. No worries, if you have any questions about basketball shoot, I was a pro player for 5 years and now I am a coach, the last 7 years so yeah :D But yeah basically the rule of the thumb is that if it's going out of the basket it's free to touch, dunk it or rebound it. |
| Yeah, I hope Mokichi will be playing in the next episode. Can't wait to see his true form. |
| Chiaki is getting frustrated out there and its affecting the chemistry of the team. Those boys from Shijo got everyone on lockdown(no pun intended). Maybe Sora and Chiaki need to switch positions. |
 |
| Tobi receiving and adjusting that ball at the end was so sick. Entertaining episode. It seems it's now Chiaki's turn to struggle so let's see how the team will overcome the momentary loss of their "brain". And on a side note, my boy Momoharu finally scored! Though not in the way I was expecting but I'm still glad for him. Still waiting for him to do an insane dunk at some point tho. |
| I lost my shit when Momoharu scored for the first time in his life. |

 |
| Remembering why I like this series. By the end I was legitimately excited for Momoharu scoring and even just getting that break with Kite and it does what I like out of sports anime: allows me to follow the abilities of the players that make each play possible. Now if only there weren't so many stills...... |
| You have shit taste, and then I have taste so shit it makes your taste look good |
| Why did the Kuzuryū's girl's team had to lose, again =( |
   |
| Nice episode! Kuzu High made a good start but the opponent was able to adapt and slowly making momentum but there are still mistakes and good thing they didn't time-out! 5/5. |
 |
| This new opening has a very good art, the ending too. Anyways, this match seems promising. |
 |
| Wow they actually managed to neutralize Chiaki. That was a really smart move. |
 |
It's not because the ball is clearly coming out of the ring, so a rebound + points is considered. 🏀 |

True I guess he meant offensive interfering which is same as goalting but for offensive palyers. But awesome there is another basketball player in this forum xD Anyway yeah the tipin is something that happens a lot but sometimes they can call offensive interference when you like touch the rim first or the net first before the ball. Referees have a lot of power xD |

Lucky you we are closed down in my country, can't wait for summer tho and that 3x3 tournaments. I am not a player that much anymore, I retiered in 2018 for good, just 3x3 tournaments and honor touranemts (aka Memorial touranments or Charity tournaments). Just a coach now. |

Just a coach now. lmao, I just like to play. I have a playstyle close to Aomine from KnB. Free style, good in dribbling, hookshots, fadeaway, stepbacks and mid/close range. My 3p are bad tho.I score like 20-40% open. So I don't take them much. |

| This one is basically KnB, but without the magic bs. The girls not making it passed their first match is just like the girls' team in KnB. Like seriously, just let them get passed their first game so it doesn't copy KnB too much :P |
 |
| "I can't imagine that she's actually reading that deep into it" If you do, the she might as well. Such an entertaining match so far. Lot's of interesting plays, comments with even some gags here and there. Most importantly, love the directing. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Impressive of the injured guy to recognise the importance of Chiaki's passes, one could only imagine the struggle Kuzuryu team would be going through if he was in the game. Sad that the girl team lost but at least we can somewhat celebrate Momoharu scoring his first point |
 |
| why does the female-counterpart team always have to lose in the first round of the inter-high? WHY? |
