SECOND-YEAR NATIONALS — THE GENIUS TWINS
MATCH OVERVIEW
Junior High Nationals final, Generation of Miracles' second year. Kamatanishi (Kamata West) bring the Genius Twins, Sasaki Sōta and Sasaki Shōta — aikido, flopping, and a plan to foul Aomine out. Aomine and Kise pick up cheap fouls arguing with the referee. At half, Coach Shirogane Kōzō apologizes to Aomine for not reaching him. Kuroko promises Ogiwara they will win. Aomine stops caring about the whistle. When the twins go hunting the fifth foul, Kise is already in. Thirty-point game. Second straight title. 81–51.
