43 Fighting Generation of Miracles 6 (2/2)
But Kagami and the less met difficulty when facing Aonime, Murasakibara, and Midorima.
As the game resumed, Midorima told Akashi that it was the time for the throw in.
”Akashi, it's now time for 3 points attack”
Generation of Miracles decided on their attack focus which would be on Midorima.
Now Hyūga was marking Midorima as it is now the battle of the shooting guards.
As Hyuga faced Midorima, Hyūga remembered his admiration for Midorima's shooting style.
”Midorima, you are my inspiration. You are the strongest shooting guard I ever met. Your physical stats is better than me, you are taller than me too, but I will not lose to you”
Hyūga marked Midorima when suddenly Midorima jumped and shot the basket using his Heaven shooting skill.
The score is 25 – 27 for Generation of Miracles. Seirin began their counterattack as the familiar faces in the crowd comment on Midorima's shooting form. As he went for a counterattack, Hyūga admitted Midorima's form was efficient. He then told himself that now it was not the time to admire his role model, but rather that right now he was a player he had to beat.
As Kiyoshi passed the ball to Hyūga, he shooted using his Barrier Jumper, Midorima touched the ball with his finger, but the ball entered the basket and scored a 3 pointer for Seirin. Seeing his shooting, Midorima realised Hyūga's shooting form was similar to his.
Generation of Miracle got the ball and Midorima told Akashi to pass him the ball, with him replying that he intended to and that Midorima should do whatever he wants.
As the game continued, both Hyūga and Midorima scored baskets one after another. Kiyoshi however, realized that the one being pressured was Hyūga. As Hyūga attempted a shot, Mibuchi blocked it which results in Generation of Miracle stealing the ball. Akashi had the ball as he passed it to Midorima yet again. As Midorima got the ball he was guarded by Hyūga, and told him that his shooting was better than what he had thought.
As Hyūga witnesses Midorima's skills, he admired them but then he started to lose hope of winning. Questioning himself whether he can actually win against Midorima. Hyūga had the ball but Midorima guarded him. Unable to pass his mark Hyūga decided to pass the ball to Kiyoshi who was under the basket. As Kiyoshi attempted to score, he was blocked by Murasakibara. Unable to pass Murasakibara, Kiyoshi passed the ball to Kagami who then scored the basket, resulting in the score of 33 - 55, with Generation of Miracle still in the lead.
