Fast break.
Kaito sprinted down the court — open floor.
Yuto chased.
Everyone else was trailing behind.
Kaito euro-stepped—
Fake. Side step.
Yuto didn't bite.
He waited.
Jumped.
PAKK!
BLOCKED!
The ball slammed into the backboard—
ricocheted back toward center court.
Everyone crashed the paint.
Taiga leapt—missed.
Rikuya and Haruto jumped together.
Their hands collided—struggling for control.
Rough. Violent. Desperate.
The whistle blew.
"Jump ball! The ref calls a tie!"
0:32 remaining.
"This is insane! Bodies on the floor, blocks, deflections—this game is pure willpower now!"
"Another jump ball… and only 32 seconds left in the final!"
…
Maybe the last jump.
Rikuya, the Titan of Horizon.
Haruto, the Tower of Toyonaka.
The referee raised the ball.
Whistle. Toss.
They both leapt.
Rikuya got there first—tipped it left.
Aizawa caught it—
But Yuto was there!
A tip—chaos again!
The ball went loose—bodies everywhere—hands scrambling—
Yuto came up with it!
