01x10 - I Can't Have That

[bunniefuu]

NARRATOR: The Teiko Middle School basketball club.

NARRATOR: An incredibly strong team with over

CRKuro: ,one hundred members and

CRKuro: ,three consecutive championship wins.

NARRATOR: Amongst their brilliant record,

CRKuro: ,the generation of five prodigies was known as the

CRKuro: ,"Generation of Miracles."

NARRATOR: Despite being relatively unknown

CRKuro: ,and lacking a game record,

CRKuro: ,there was one more

CRKuro: ,member recognized by the five prodigies.

NARRATOR: A phantom sixth man.

KAGAMI: Seriously, this guy...

KAGAMI: I can't get past him.

HYUGA: No! Don't do it, Kagami!

REFEREE: Offensive foul!

REFEREE: White !

HYUGA: Quit running your mouth, you braggart.

HYUGA: I'm going to teach you how to talk to your seniors.

TAKAO: Seirin benched their first year pair.

MIDORIMA: No,

CRKuro: ,they're doing just the opposite.

MIDORIMA: They intend to...

KAGAMI: I can't just sit still!

KUROKO: Guys with four fouls should stay on the bench.

ScoreboardL,SIGN: Seirin

ScoreboardR,SIGN: Seiho

MAN: Seirin, member change.

TSUGAWA: It's just you?

CRKuro: ,I wanted to play against Kagami.

KUROKO: Sorry. I may not be very strong,

KUROKO: but he apparently has a grudge, and I'm here to pay it back.

KUROKO: By proxy.

TSUGAWA: You're paying me back for Kagami?

TSUGAWA: Omuro-san, could I change my mark?

OMURA: Huh? Why?

TSUGAWA: Well...

TSUGAWA: It seems I've got a proxy here demanding payment.

EpTitle,EPTITLE: I Can't Have That

ScoreboardL,SIGN: Seirin

ScoreboardR,SIGN: Seiho

TSUGAWA: I'm surprised they sent you and not Kagami,

CRKuro: ,but for them to send a first year at all...

TSUGAWA: Looks like Seirin's upperclassmen aren't so dependable.

TSUGAWA: They just said they benched you two

CRKuro: ,because it was their will.

TSUGAWA: But here you are.

KUROKO: I asked to be put in.

KUROKO: Anyway, if you've been watching the game,

CRKuro: ,there's no way you could believe that.

KUROKO: If the upperclassmen have their will,

CRKuro: ,then lowerclassmen have respect.

KUROKO: I will defeat you to support the upperclassmen

CRKuro: ,that I look up to.

TSUGAWA: I lost him! How did... When did he...

SPECTATOR : There it is again!

SPECTATOR : Seirin's magic pass!

IWAMURA: What's going on?

CRKuro: ,Those passes are strong.

CRKuro: ,But...

CRKuro: ,Even the receivers are slipping past the defense!

IWAMURA: What?

IWAMURA: A steal!

IWAMURA: Could they be...

TSUGAWA: What is this?

TSUGAWA: What's going on?

OMURO: They know our movements!

MATSUMOTO: They got us.

CRKuro: ,I've never seen anyone study us so thoroughly before.

HYUGA: Thanks to you guys, one of our DVD players is ruined.

KASUGA: They really got us.

SASAMATSU: As their name suggests,

CRKuro: ,old martial arts techniques are ancient.

SASAMATSU: Their thought process is completely

CRKuro: ,different from modern sports science.

SASAMATSU: Applying those specialized movements to

CRKuro: ,basketball is Seiho's strength, but...

RIKO: If you're specialized, you've got habits.

RIKO: For example, normally, people will step towards

CRKuro: ,the direction they're heading as they start to move.

RIKO: Seiho's players point their toes in

CRKuro: ,the direction they're heading before they even move.

RIKO: In other words, once we recognize that habit,

CRKuro: ,we can predict their next move.

RIKO: That's why the second years have been

CRKuro: ,studying hard after practice.

RIKO: That said, keeping up with those movements

CRKuro: ,was harder than we expected.

HYUGA: Because of that, we haven't been able

CRKuro: ,to deal with them until the second half.

IZUKI: It's not really obvious enough to call a habit.

IZUKI: Habits are hard to beat.

TSUCHIDA: I know, right?

HYUGA: One!

KAGAMI: This is the upperclassmen's will...

KAGAMI: Now that I think about it,

CRKuro: ,this is the first time I've watched Kuroko from the bench.

KAGAMI: Amazing...

RIKO: You just noticed? He's always like this!

ScoreboardL,SIGN: Seirin

ScoreboardR,SIGN: Seiho

SPECTATOR : A comeback? Is Seirin serious?

SPECTATOR : Seirin caught up!

SASAMATSU: But...

HYUGA: We can't let them get this!

IWAMURA: Do not underestimate a king!

CRKuro: ,You need more years of experience to beat us!

RIKO: All court man-to-man?

SASAMATSU: They're not just trying to defend,

CRKuro: ,they're trying to score another shot!

IZUKI: This isn't over yet!

IZUKI: How can they try so hard in the last seconds?

IZUKI: Nice!

IZUKI: I'm impressed, Mitobe!

IWAMURA: Damn it!

KISE: Tsugawa? How?

SASAMATSU: He found him by calculating backwards from the pass course!

KAGAMI: Kuroko!

TSUGAWA: He missed?

CRKuro: ,With this timing, there's no way

CRKuro: ,he could change his pass target.

FIRST YEARS: Yes!

REFEREE: Game over!

ScoreboardL,SIGN: Seirin

ScoreboardR,SIGN: Seiho

KOGANEI: All right!

KOGANEI: We won!

Omuro: We lost.

TSUGAWA: Why?

TSUGAWA: Seirin just formed last year!

TSUGAWA: We practice way more than them!

TSUGAWA: They didn't stand a chance last year!

TSUGAWA: No matter how you look at it, we're stronger!

IWAMURA: Enough, Tsugawa.

TSUGAWA: But...

IWAMURA: The strong don't win.

IWAMURA: The winners are the strong ones.

IWAMURA: They were stronger. That's all.

TSUGAWA: Tell me your name!

TSUGAWA: Your name!

KUROKO: It's Kuroko Tetsuya.

TSUGAWA: I'll remember it. I definitely won't forget.

KUROKO: Thanks.

REFEREE: Seventy-three to seventy-one, Seirin!

PLAYERS: Thank you very much!

RIKO: Congratulations, guys.

HYUGA: Keep it together, Coach.

CRKuro: ,It's not time to cry yet.

HYUGA: You can be happy after we win the next championship game.

KAGAMI: Looks like they're finished, too.

KUROKO: You're right.

OnScreen,SIGN: Shutoku

OnScreen,SIGN: Ginbo

REFEREE: One hundred thirteen to thirty-eight, Shutoku!

PLAYERS: Thank you very much!

PLAYERS: Good game!

PLAYESR: Good game!

TAKAO: How much do we have to love basketball

CRKuro: ,to jump right into the championship with hardly a break?

TAKAO: But, well, it's all good. They made it.

MIDORIMA: I can see that.

RIKO: Go put on jackets before your bodies get cold!

RIKO: Make sure you stretch!

CRKuro: ,Also, take some amino acids to restore your energy!

CRKuro: ,Don't forget to calorie charge!

RIKO: I'll come massage each of you, so take off your shoes!

RIKO: How does that feel?

HYUGA: Thanks.

CRKuro: ,I'd be lying if I said I'm not tired,

CRKuro: ,but I should be able to make it through the next game.

RIKO: Hey, Kagami!

CRKuro: ,Your body will freeze up if you sleep!

HYUGA: Let him be.

IZUKI: He's not usually this down after a game.

KOGANEI: It's probably because he got four fouls.

CRKuro: ,It's not anything to worry about.

TSUCHIDA: Your last foul was a little unexpected, though.

HYUGA: Maybe he feels responsible in his own way.

HYUGA: Besides, I don't think he's sleeping.

HYUGA: He looks to me like he's saving

CRKuro: ,every last bit of energy he has for the next game.

KUROKO: Excuse me. I'm going to the bathroom.

KOGANEI: I'll go, too.

TAKAO: Honestly, what a surprise.

TAKAO: I didn't think Seirin would actually make it.

CRKuro: ,Hey.

KUROKO: Hello.

TAKAO: Oh? An upperclassman?

TAKAO: Are you two going to the bathroom together?

TAKAO: I look forward to playing you in the next game.

KOGANEI: Oh, yeah...

KOGANEI: He noticed Kuroko walking behind him?

OTSUBO: Ten minutes left!

HYUGA: Let's go!

OTSUBO: Midorima...

MIDORIMA: Sorry. Go on ahead.

KUROKO: Kagami-kun, it's time.

MIDORIMA: Kuroko, and his new light, Kagami.

MIDORIMA: I did not miss a day of sh**ting.

MIDORIMA: I did not slack off at practice.

MIDORIMA: My left hand nail care is as it always is.

MIDORIMA: Today's horoscope for Cancer is number one.

MIDORIMA: I even brought today's lucky item, a raccoon Shigaraki.

MIDORIMA: I tied the laces on my right shoe first.

MIDORIMA: I have done everything.

KAGAMI: Let's go!

KUROKO: Yes.

TAKAO: You're late.

TAKAO: The upperclassmen already left.

OTSUBO: Honestly, I don't think many believed

CRKuro: ,Seirin would make it this far.

OTSUBO: The King of the North losing can only be called an upset.

OTSUBO: However, it is nothing more than that.

CRKuro: ,For us, nothing changes.

OTSUBO: Whether we're dealing with a tiger or a rabbit,

CRKuro: ,there is only one thing for a lion to do.

OTSUBO: Crush them with all our might!

OTSUBO: As usual, we must win!

SHUTOKU: Yeah!

HYUGA: I'm beat.

HYUGA: I've been feeling melancholy since this morning.

HYUGA: We've got two games in a row, both against kings.

HYUGA: And even while playing Seiho,

CRKuro: ,all I could think about was playing another game after we beat them.

HYUGA: But there's only one game left.

HYUGA: We don't have to worry about bothersome crap

CRKuro: ,like the next game or reserving our energy.

HYUGA: We can focus on the one thing we have to do!

HYUGA: Give everything we have until we can't give any more!

SEIRIN: Yeah!

REFEREE: Line up!

HYUGA: He's quieter than I expected.

MIDORIMA: I didn't think you would actually make it this far.

MIDORIMA: But it ends here.

MIDORIMA: No matter how weak, small, or unknown,

CRKuro: ,any team can fight as long as they work together.

MIDORIMA: That is an illusion.

MIDORIMA: Come.

CRKuro: ,I will show you just how foolish your choice was.

KUROKO: No one knows what the right decision is to make in life,

CRKuro: ,and that is not why I made this choice.

KUROKO: Also, if I may disagree with one thing,

CRKuro: ,it's that Seirin is not weak.

KUROKO: We will not lose.

ScoreboardL,SIGN: Seirin

ScoreboardR,SIGN: Shutoku

SASAMATSU: Will Seirin miraculously beat two kings in a row to win,

SASAMATSU: or will Shutoku protect its rightful throne?

REFEREE: Let the preliminary A block championship game

CRKuro: ,between Seirin High School and Shutoku High School begin!

ALL: Thank you!

SASAMATSU: The championship game!

TAKAO: Huh? Is Kuroko the only one you need to talk to?

TAKAO: What about Kagami?

MIDORIMA: There is no need.

MIDORIMA: There is no reason for me to talk to someone

CRKuro: ,who played such a pathetic game.

MIDORIMA: If you have anything to say, you can show it to me

CRKuro: ,with your play.

KAGAMI: Right back at you.

KAGAMI: Just thinking about it makes me mad at myself.

KAGAMI: I've got tons of pent up frustration, so

CRKuro: ,let's do this already.

KAGAMI: I turned it all into fight, and I've been saving it for you.

KAGAMI: I can't hold it in any longer.

MIDORIMA: What did you say?

MIDORIMA: Do your worst.

IZUKI: They're quick!

CRKuro: ,We wanted to run-and-g*n for a quick shot, but...

ORIHATA: There are no gaps in their defense.

KAWAHARA: One! Take care!

RIKO: No!

CRKuro: ,Matching a stronger opponent is like

CRKuro: ,giving them control of the game!

RIKO: Attack them in the first quarter!

CRKuro: ,You have to...

RIKO: ...greet them by taking them by storm!

KIMURA: That's...

KISE: It's the same thing they did against me.

KISE: An alley-oop.

ORIHATA: Yes, we scored the first point!

ORIHATA: Go!

TAKAO: I knew you could do it, Shin-chan.

IWAMURA: Impossible.

RIKO: He can block that?

MIDORIMA: How disappointing.

MIDORIMA: You think you can beat us with that?

SPECTATOR : He missed!

SPECTATOR : Neither team will let the other score!

ScoreboardL,SIGN: Seirin

ScoreboardR,SIGN: Shutoku

CRKuro: ,Oh, man.

KASUGA: They're stuck in equilibrium.

IWAMURA: A basketball game is minutes long.

IWAMURA: The game is broken up into four ten minute quarters.

IWAMURA: Basically, the flow of the game changes at least three times.

IWAMURA: However, in other words...

IWAMURA: Once your opponent takes control of the game,

CRKuro: ,it's very difficult to take it back during the same quarter.

IWAMURA: It's been almost two minutes without either team scoring.

ScoreboardL,SIGN: Seirin

ScoreboardR,SIGN: Shutoku

SASAMATSU: At this rate, whoever scores the first point

CRKuro: ,will take the first quarter!

OTSUBO: Run-and-g*n!

HYUGA: What? Are you trying to sh**t a three from there?

HYUGA: Midorima!

KUROKO: Keep running.

SPECTATOR : It's a three pointer!

SPECTATOR : What an incredible shot!

SPECTATOR : Shutoku's scored the first point!

ScoreboardL,SIGN: Seirin

ScoreboardR,SIGN: Shutoku

HYUGA: Crap.

KISE: The balance is broken!

SASAMATSU: Shutoku's in control!

MIDORIMA: What?

SPECTATOR : They got them back in a second!

SPECTATOR : Amazing!

KOGANEI: What was that?

TSUCHIDA: That cut straight from one side of the court to the other.

MIDORIMA: Kuroko...

KUROKO: I'm sorry.

CRKuro: ,I can't let you take the first quarter that easily.

Preview,TEXT: Preview

TAKAO: Kuroko...

TAKAO: Honestly, you scared me.

MIDORIMA: I'm not scared.

TAKAO: It passed right by my face.

MIDORIMA: Takao...

TAKAO: It almost hit me!

NextEpTitle,TEXT: That's Not It

MIDORIMA: Don't imitate me!

CRKuro: ,
