KEY TURNING POINTS
FULL-COURT THREE
Midorima shoots from his own end. The gym learns the range is the whole floor. Lucky item in the bag. One hundred percent.
KAGAMI'S JUMP
He starts timing the high-arc from the opposite baseline and gets a hand on shots nobody else can reach. Midorima is not used to a contest.
CYCLONE PASS
Kuroko's first new pass of the year. Full-court launch to Kagami before Shūtoku can set the defense. Hawk Eye still has not seen the Vanishing Drive — that comes later.
ONE POINT
82–81. Midorima's first official high-school loss. They meet again in the Winter Cup Tokyo league and do not settle it — 104–104.
