The finals of basketball between the newbie and the reigning champion, and it's clear which group is the expected one to come out on top.

It'll be very hard for Hiyori and her team to make a comeback given their inexperience, but they make best of their circumstances. Especially Hiyori who's constantly pushing herself until the point of injury that even then, she'll try to withhold it until the next stopping point as RISE catches up to the point gap.

They make it to the interval, but Hiyori's foot is wounded in such a way that she cannot play any further, but not without any extra restraints putting her out of play to persevere all the way through and put pressure on May-Bee to deliver.

The match's playing with close numbers, and amidst all adversity, the underdog came out on top.

Should I be surprised? Nope. They did put a good fight.

RISE won the Kanagawa qualifier. Congratulations.
Hiyori needs to go to see the doctor as soon as possible. Her foot's condition is still worsening.

I really feared that would be pulled, the regional champions cant defeated. More over this being basketball, and having 3-pointer.
But thankfully my fears were wrong.

intense final moments there. It was truly a hard earned win for Rise. I did not expect Hiyori to play through with her injury. Also being friends with the Snow Wolf girls helped a lot here.

my only complaint is when Hiyori was being given first aid for the injury.. they had to sub one robot into the team. Feels like plot armor that May Bee was not able to take advantage of a robot being there.

anyway, looking forward to the performance next week. :>

kinda hard to believe, hiyori was injured and was still the most important player, not to mention they were close to being 30 points down lol

anyway, not complaining, this episode was awesome
favorite "new girls" from summer <3 ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks (rip all the other choices)

That was worrying for Hiyori's foot, that's kind of a dumb decision to continue when you're wounded like that but anyway they won the match!

Well well well this show managed to have a decent sports match after all, the twist and turns of this final alongside Hiyori's injury was very entertaining. Congrats RISE

Interesting comeback I guess... felt sorta weird since they're 20+ points behind and a injured center/power player... normally a comeback shouldn't be possible out of this. Since in RL, this player would already be pulled out by the coach or referee.

But I guess they wanted to put the "extreme" in their games, lol. Since otherwise the games aren't that much different from regular games. (the girls also doesn't have an actual coach, and the referee doesn't care, lol) (they also have looser rules in this Basketball game compared to RL)

___ ___ ___

Other than that, the episode is fairly good.

There's actual sport related struggles compared to previous episode sport matches.

Now, lets hope Hiyori's feet isn't dead after this, LOL (otherwise she'll have difficulties playing in any other sports) (unless of course they suddenly have boring sports like Golf or Bowling that doesn't require much movement, LOL)

Of course Hiyori scored the winner at last second. 
Maybee were nerfed, despite their excellent skills, experience and team work, they've lost to bunch of newbies who never played basketball before the tournament.
Nothing interesting here.
