Nomiya barely made it to tryouts. This man came early but fell asleep and got his wallet stolen. I can’t even. My boy did well though, all thanks to his practice. He managed to play against the Tokyo Lightnings as the remaining 10 try-out players. Sadly, a month later, he never received a call to come back.
The Tigers (especially Togawa) gave him words of encouragement the night before. It helped, somewhat. We also get a glimpse of his past. He was so cute and chubby! Aww. However, he seems neglected by his family though. He made friends with a foreign boy who piqued his interest in basketball. Sadly, he left.
The Tigers gained a temporary coach who is an old friend of Mitsuru. They played together in Australia. He is also a former member of The Dreams. He promised to help them defeat the opposing team.
Hisanobu ponder upon the basketball hoop at the gym once again. Hara sensei asked him to store a wheelchair that’s specifically made to play basketball. Hara sensei and her antics, I swear. I know what you’re trying to do, girl! 😂 Hisanobu fell for her tricks. He managed to transfer himself onto the wheelchair. Hara sensei has been watching him from afar. While Hisanobu seems to be improving, the ‘scorpion’ / his roommate does not seem to be doing well. We don’t know why yet.
