3. Recap of Episode 45
I. Taiei and Kuzuryu’s shortest players
Episode 45, titled “Break,” begins with Sora asking Kamiki to lend him ice since he was throwing it away anyway.
Sora wonders if Kamiki was playing in the game today, but Kamiki corrects him and tells those first-year students were only there for cheers and to run errands except for Fuwa, he was a precious player for their coach.
Before Sora could leave, Kamiki points out that Sora’s three-pointers at the start felt careless, but Sora lets him know that he was pretty confident in them, and even though there was a vast gap in points it wasn’t enough to make Kuzuryu team give up.
They exchange names, but upon hearing Sora’s last name Kurumatani, Kamiki tells him the person who taught him basketball had the same last name.
II. Game plan
Madoka goes on a date with Tsukasa, but her mind always wondered about Sora’s practice match and hoped they win.
While practicing, Sora remembers his conversation with Kamiki after learning his mother taught Kamiki basketball.
Sora also says he was planning to aim beyond being in the final eight, Sora wanted to be the best shortest player in Japan and was thankful Kamiki was a little taller than him.
Nanao gives Kuzuryu team instructions for the man-to-man play, and the second half begins!
Fuwa displays incredible skills, but Sora also reshoots a three-pointer!
III. Kuzuryu’s desperation
Kite remembers his practice and stockpiles his frustration; the game continues with Kite getting a rebound. But with Shiraishi scoring a three-pointer, Taiei gets a 36 point lead.
Sora catches on to Shiraishi’s play and takes the ball, he dribbles further and tires to imitate Shiraishi’s three-pointer but failing to score a basket.
However, Sora’s quick wit is noticed by Taiei’s coach and Kamiki.
Taiei leads the game with unparalleled teamwork, but Sora passes the ball to Kite, who regained his composure.
Fuwa manages to stop Kite’s basket, but Yasu gains the ball back and passes it to Kite, who blows past Shiraishi to take a shot!
