01x04 - Take Care of the Counterattack!

Post by 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: However, there was a strange rumor

CRKuro: ,concerning the Generation of Miracles.

NARRATOR: Despite being relatively unknown

CRKuro: ,and lacking a game record,

CRKuro: ,there was one more member recognized by the five prodigies.

NARRATOR: A phantom sixth man.

KASAMATSU: What?

KAGAMI: All right!

KISE: I can't say the same for girls,

KISE: but I've never failed to return a favor on the court.

KAGAMI: Bring it on.

KISE: I'll admit you have potential,

CRKuro: ,but you're still far below me.

KISE: No matter what you throw at me,

CRKuro: ,with one look, I'll return it twice as good.

KISE: You can struggle, but you'll never beat me.

KAGAMI: Sorry, sorry.

KAGAMI: I'm just so happy.

KAGAMI: It's better if I can't win.

KAGAMI: Besides, thanks to you, now I know your weakness.

KISE: What weakness?

KAGAMI: In other words,

KAGAMI: this guy is your weakness.

EpTitle,EPTITLE: Take Care of the Counter Attack!

HYUGA: Kagami's powerless against Kise,

CRKuro: ,but his weakness is...

RIKO: Aside from passing,

CRKuro: ,the weakest guy on the court, Kuroko-kun?

KISE: So?

KISE: It's true Kurokocchi's style is the only one I can't imitate.

KISE: But what does that change?

REFEREE: End of the first quarter!

CRKuro: ,Take a two minute break!

KAGAMI: It changes everything.

CRKuro: ,We'll bring you to tears in the second quarter.

OnScreen,SIGN: Seirin

OnScreen,SIGN: Kaijo

STUDENT : An eight point difference.

STUDENT : Seirin's not bad.

TAKEUCHI: What the hell are you doing?

TAKEUCHI: They're closing the gap!

PLAYERS: Yes, sir!

TAKEUCHI: Your fundamentals suck!

TAKEUCHI: Hands up! Screen out! Rebound!

PLAYERS: Yes, sir!

TAKEUCHI: You're taller than them, so get the rebounds!

PLAYERS: Yes, sir!

RIKO: I see. Yeah, that could work.

RIKO: Kagami-kun, looks like you finally cooled down.

KAGAMI: No, I was always—

BOTH: You were really pissed!

RIKO: But Kuroko-kun and Kagami-kun,

CRKuro: ,your coordination will be key.

RIKO: Can you do it?

KAGAMI: Yeah, probably.

KAGAMI: We'll wo—

KAGAMI: You b*stard, where did that come from?

KUROKO: You want to beat Kise-kun, don't you?

KAGAMI: Of course I do!

RIKO: Well, then.

REFEREE: Let the second quarter begin!

RIKO: Take care of the counter attack!

STUDENTS: Do it, do it, do it, do it, Kaijo!

FUKUDA: Go! Get them!

ALL: Go and get them, Seirin!

HYUGA: Kaijo's defense is still man to man.

KISE: Something's changed, right?

KISE: Just another drive?

CRKuro: ,Maybe another fadeaway?

KISE: He's coordinating with Kurokocchi!

RIKO: Yes!

TUCHIDA: Nice shot!

KISE: Again? It won't work this time!

FURUHATA: All right! A three pointer!

FUKUDA: A five point gap!

HYUGA: Have you changed your minds, first ye—

IZUKI: Nice!

KAGAMI: All right, defense!

HYUGA: Hey!

KOBORI: No. 's really going for it.

KASAMATSU: We should be worried about Kagami.

KASAMATSU: He and Kuroko have started

CRKuro: ,passing back and forth to each other.

KOBORI: Kagami's just started passing

CRKuro: ,the ball instead of just receiving it.

KOBORI: Does that really change much?

KASAMATSU: It changes a whole lot, dumbass!

KASAMATSU: Kuroko's passing and Kagami's one-on-one

CRKuro: ,were two separate offensive patterns.

KASAMATSU: They only had two options.

KASAMATSU: Now that they pass to each other,

CRKuro: ,they both have more options,

CRKuro: ,making their offense stronger.

RIKO: And Kise can't copy Kuroko,

CRKuro: ,the linchpin of the play.

RIKO: It's his bane.

RIKO: Kagami-kun and Kuroko-kun.

CRKuro: ,With those two, we can...

RIKO: Well, we'll probably just barely make it.

KISE: Kurokocchi...

KUROKO: Kise-kun, you're strong.

CRKuro: ,I'm powerless, and Kagami-kun can't stand against you.

KUROKO: But when we work together,

CRKuro: ,we have a fighting chance.

KISE: You really have changed, Kurokocchi.

KISE: We never played basketball like this at Teiko, but

KISE: you still can't stop me.

KISE: I will be the winner!

KISE: It's true I can't copy your coordination,

KISE: but since you'll lose your effectiveness after minutes,

CRKuro: ,you'll lose this game in the second half!

KAGAMI: Not so fast.

KISE: What?

KASAMATSU: Kuroko's on Kise?

STUDENT : Who's the guy on Kise?

STUDENT : Isn't he the guy that passes a lot?

STUDENT : I don't remember him doing anything other than pass.

STUDENTS: He doesn't stand a chance!

KISE: I never dreamed we'd play together like this, Kurokocchi.

KUROKO: Neither did I.

KISE: I don't know what you're up to,

KISE: but you can't stop me, Kurokocchi!

KAGAMI: Wrong. We're not gonna stop you.

RIKO: We're taking the ball!

KISE: What? A back tip!

KISE: They took advantage of the second I hesitated!

KAGAMI: It doesn't matter how amazingly you play against us.

KAGAMI: We're trying to let you through!

KAWAHARA: Nice shot!

KASAMATSU: Damn it, a simple double team would've been better.

RIKO: Not even Kise can react in time to

CRKuro: ,an invisible guy coming up behind him.

KISE: I just won't run by you, then.

KISE: No one said I couldn't sh**t

KISE: a three pointer!

KISE: They got me.

CRKuro: ,Kurokocchi's covering below,

CRKuro: ,and Kagami's covering up top.

KASAMATSU: An outside shot takes too much movement.

CRKuro: ,These guys are a pain!

KASAMATSU: Kuroko's the one making this happen.

KASAMATSU: He's the most worthless guy on the court,

CRKuro: ,and he can't do anything by himself, but...

CRKuro: ,I don't believe this!

KAGAMI: Fast break!

RIKO: Kuroko-kun!

REFEREE: Referee time out!

HYUGA: Kuroko!

HYUGA: Are you okay, Kuroko?

KUROKO: I feel lightheaded.

RIKO: Get a first aid kit!

KAGAMI: Are you okay?

KUROKO: I'm fine.

CRKuro: ,The game is just getting started.

HYUGA: Kuroko!

KASAMATSU: You're finished.

CRKuro: ,It's not what should have happened, though.

KASAMATSU: Without that first year duo,

CRKuro: ,the score difference will only grow.

KISE: Kurokocchi...

IZUKI: What are we gonna do?

RIKO: Kuroko-kun can't play anymore.

RIKO: We'll have to make do with the members we have left.

KAWAHARA: Make do?

FUKUDA: Isn't this gonna be tough without Kuroko?

RIKO: The second years will be our offensive core.

RIKO: It's only the second quarter,

CRKuro: ,but we can't let them get too far ahead of us.

RIKO: I know it's early, but it's game time, Hyuga-kun.

RIKO: Kise-kun will just copy you,

CRKuro: ,so don't play offense, Kagami-kun.

CRKuro: ,Focus on defending.

RIKO: Do everything you can to stop Kise-kun from scoring.

KAGAMI: Are you sure that will work?

HYUGA: It'll be fine. Have some faith.

KAGAMI: But...

HYUGA: I said it'll be fine, dumbass.

HYUGA: Listen to your seniors once in a while, or I'll k*ll you.

HYUGA: First years should

CRKuro: ,show more respect for your seniors!

CRKuro: ,Get on your knees!

IZUKI: You're showing your true colors, Captain.

IZUKI: Don't worry about him.

CRKuro: ,He's always like that during clutch time.

IZUKI: When he speaks his mind, he won't

CRKuro: ,miss many of his shots.

CRKuro: ,Leave the offense to him.

IZUKI: You just defend like your life depends on it.

MORIYAMA: A screen! And at just the right time.

KOBORI: b*stard!

RIKO: He's usually a normal guy,

CRKuro: ,but when he gets going, he's amazing!

RIKO: Also scary!

CRKuro: ,{\a}He's the multiple personality clutch sh**ter, Hyuga Junpei!

HYUGA: {\a}Take that.

RIKO: Calm and collected, he never loses his cool!

RIKO: He may seem cool and in control,

CRKuro: ,but he has a sense of humor!

KOGANEI: You're so mean.

RIKO: Unfortunately, every last one of them never gives up!

TAKAO: Damn it, we were supposed to trade at the signal.

CHILD: It's a rear car.

TAKAO: You haven't pedaled once!

MIDORIMA: Of course I haven't.

MIDORIMA: Today's "Oha-Asa" horoscope predicted

CRKuro: ,the greatest of days for Cancers like me.

TAKAO: What does that have to do with this?

TAKAO: Anyway, if we're coming all the way out

CRKuro: ,here to see a practice match,

TAKAO: your middle school teammates better be good!

MIDORIMA: It's the copycat and the invisible man.

TAKAO: Are they good?

MIDORIMA: Hurry up, or the game will be over.

TAKAO: It's your fault for reading horoscopes!

KASAMATSU: They're not as good without Kuroko,

CRKuro: ,but their offensive team isn't bad.

KASAMATSU: They're putting No. 's sh**ting ability to good use.

TSUCHIDA: There's a minute and a half left in the second quarter.

HYUGA: This isn't easy.

CRKuro: ,On top of that, we lost power when we lost Kuroko.

HYUGA: I'm starting to lose focus.

HYUGA: I don't think we can make a comeback.

KAWAHARA: Coach, isn't there anything we can do?

RIKO: They don't have any energy left

CRKuro: ,for plays after the first half's pace.

RIKO: If only we had Kuroko-kun...

KUROKO: Very well.

KUROKO: Good morning.

KUROKO: I'll be going, then.

RIKO: Hey, wait.

RIKO: What are you talking about?

KUROKO: But you just told me to go.

RIKO: I didn't tell you to do that.

CRKuro: ,It just slipped out.

KUROKO: Then I'm going.

RIKO: Hey!

KUROKO: If I can change anything by going out there, please.

KUROKO: Besides...

KUROKO: I promised Kagami-kun I would be his shadow.

RIKO: Fine.

RIKO: But if I think you're in trouble,

CRKuro: ,I'm switching you out immediately.

KAGAMI: Let's go.

KUROKO: Yeah.

KASAMATSU: We were just getting used to him,

CRKuro: ,but now he's back at full power.

KASAMATSU: It must be because he stayed out the last two quarters.

STUDENT : Whoa, seriously?

STUDENT : Eighty to eighty-two?

STUDENT : They're catching up!

STUDENT : You're kidding!

STUDENT : They're tied!

STUDENT : They're tied!

STUDENT : Seirin finally caught up!

KISE: We're tied?

CRKuro: ,Kise!

KAGAMI: Kuroko!

KAGAMI: He's even stronger?

KAGAMI: Did he see through Kuroko?

KISE: I won't lose.

KISE: Not to anyone.

KISE: Not even Kurokocchi.

HYUGA: This isn't good.

HYUGA: Give it your all, everyone.

CRKuro: ,This'll be just like the first quarter from here on out.

HYUGA: A back and forth run and g*n game!

HYUGA: Hurry up, defense!

RIKO: Hyuga-kun, hurry!

CRKuro: ,Mitobe-kun, post up!

KOGANEI: Kagami!

TSUCHIDA: Go, go!

TAKEUCHI: What are you doing?

CRKuro: ,You're slow getting back!

RIKO: Two minutes and eleven seconds left.

STUDENT : They're tied again!

KASAMATSU: These resilient b*stards!

KASAMATSU: Finish them!

HYUGA: There's no time left! Get them!

HYUGA: If we don't take the ball here, it's over!

KUROKO: Kagami-kun...

KUROKO: If we can get the ball,

CRKuro: ,there's one more thing we can do Kise-kun can't copy.

KUROKO: It's a simple strategy

CRKuro: ,that will only work once, though.

RIKO: There's less than ten seconds left.

RIKO: We don't have the strength to play in overtime.

PLAYERS: Good defense!

PLAYERS: Don't let them score!

RIKO: You can't just defend! Take the ball!

HYUGA: Worthless piece of sh*t!

HYUGA: Crap!

STUDENT : He got it!

STUDENT : Seriously?

KASAMATSU: Don't let them through!

KAGAMI: Kuroko!

KISE: Kurokocchi can't sh**t!

CRKuro: ,With only two of them, he'll have to pass it back to Kagami!

KISE: He shot the ball?

KASAMATSU: No...

KASAMATSU: It's an alley-oop!

KISE: I won't let you do that!

KISE: He's still climbing? How far will he go?

KISE: We jumped at the same time, but I'm falling first.

KISE: How can you stay in the air so long?

KUROKO: It's a simple strategy

CRKuro: ,that will only work once, though.

KAGAMI: I don't need you to the return the favor!

CRKuro: ,Because...

KUROKO: We just have to score a buzzer beater.

KAGAMI: This ends now!

KISE: Kurokocchi, I have to ask you something.

KISE: Why did you just disappear then?

KUROKO: I get that a lot.

KISE: That's not what I meant!

KUROKO: I'm not sure.

KUROKO: All I know is I hated basketball at the time.
