Reader's Guide
Josei puts a double team on Kagami, but Kiyoshi's Right of Postponement and his rebounding lift Seirin's offense and defense, and Seirin controls the whole match. Kagami finally breaks past his defenders and scores the last basket with a jump that cracks open the door to the level of the Generation of Miracles. Seirin, Shutoku, Senshinkan and Kirisaki Daiichi advance to the championship league.
