While everyone was still chatting in Kamodai's spectator section, the match on the court continued!
Karasuno's score had already surpassed 20 points, while Nekoma trailed behind at just 15!
Moreover, at this stage of the match, everyone had slowly sunk into the whirlpool of physical exhaustion, making it hard to break free.
Kenma Kozu raised his arm with difficulty, wiping the sweat from his forehead to keep it from dripping into his eyes.
Behind him, Morisuke Yaku was panting heavily, his eyes locked on the opposite side of the net.
Just monts ago, he had been the one most actively diving for saves, ti and again, which naturally ant he had spent the most energy.
In a situation like this, anyone else might have already collapsed from fatigue.
But Yaku was still hanging on, stubbornly enduring with sheer willpower!
"Right wing!"
From the front row, Tetsurō Kuroo shouted loudly!
At that mont, on the far-right side of Karasuno's backcourt, Tobio Kageyama suddenly launched a second attack that caught everyone off guard!
Bang!
A dull thud echoed as the ball slamd into the court.
Although Nekoma's players had sensed his intention a second earlier, their bodies still couldn't react in ti!
A large part of that was due to their physical limits — they simply didn't have enough stamina left to respond quickly anymore.
Tweet!
The referee's whistle blew from the sidelines!
Karasuno scores!
...
Watching the situation unfold on the court, Manabu Naoi couldn't help but sigh.
To be honest, the match had reached a point where most people already knew how it was going to end.
"Coach Nekomata... it seems like the Battle of the Garbage Dump, which finally made it to the national stage after all these years, is about to end…"
"Hah…"
Hearing that, Yasufumi Nekomata chuckled softly, his eyes still fixed intently on the court.
"Huh?"
Naoi looked over in confusion.
"Coach... do you not feel regret?"
This ti, he turned his head to look at the old man beside him, his tone carrying a trace of sorrow.
"Haha…"
Coach Nekomata finally turned to face him, smiling gently.
"Why should I feel regret?"
"Well…"
Naoi Gaku faltered under his gaze, stamring as he tried to explain.
"It could be... because the match ended too quickly, or because we've been at a disadvantage the whole ti, or maybe…"
"Hahahaha!"
Before he could finish, Nekomata burst out laughing.
"There's no such thing as an endless feast!"
"And just like that, no matter how beautiful a match is, it will eventually co to an end!"
"That's exactly what makes a match like this so rare and precious!"
"If a ga could go on forever, would we still cherish it the sa way?"
"Uh…"
Naoi fell silent at the coach's words.
"Besides, I've already seen what I ca here for. So I have no regrets."
"You've seen what you wanted?"
Naoi's eyes narrowed slightly.
Before this match, during Nekoma's team eting, Coach Nekomata had said sothing.
He said he wanted to see a great ga.
At the very least, he didn't want the clash between these two teams at Nationals to feel like a disappointnt.
"That's right. Exactly that."
The coach turned his head back toward the court, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.
"I've seen it now…"
"These kids... they're doing far better than we did back in my day."
"And what satisfies most—more than the score—is their spirit."
"As for the rest…"
"I still rember when I made it to Nationals for the first ti…"
"The excitent at the start, pushing forward step by step, running into stronger and stronger opponents... and in the end... leaving the court with tears in my eyes."
"I wasn't able to win all the ti back then. So I'm in no position to demand that Nekoma always wins now."
"All I hope is that, in the future, when they look back on this match, they can smile gently to themselves…"
"You know, that original match... it really was unforgettable."
