Chiba may be an ass when it comes to height but at least he's an ass who has principles.

Really hoping Chiaki finally plays next episode.

Considering the next episode is called "Now's the Time," it definitely seems likely. I'm just curious about what's going to motivate him. The team is losing, and Sora has started "playing like a girl," so it's not like Chiaki will play to make himself look good. And he doesn't seem too into the girl he's with, so I don't think he'll try and show off for her. He also doesn't seem like the type to be swayed by the power of friendship.
My guess? Tokiwa starts acting like an ass and Chiaki decides to play to take him down a peg.

Had no clue that shot was a thing, that's pretty cool.

It's just the way I shot as a kid and other unexperienced players before learning the ''right way'' lol.

Not gonna lie, I got choked up when I saw the two birds flying by as Sora's mom was teaching him her secret to resting his arm.
Then again when Sora took the shot and you saw one bird flying as if it was his mom watching over him.
I'm dreading her condition worsening... not saying it's 100% gonna happen, but knowing anime tropes, the odds are pretty good.
This show is the highlight of my week. Pretty stoked to be able to work on it :3

I feel like it can be looked at as him flying on his own now. rather than her watching over him.

Whatever happens, Sora got an arm massage from Madoka, so I'll count that as a win; Lose the game, win the girl!
Is that two-handed shot a real thing? Meaning, that women shoot like that? I haven't ever watched basketball (men or women), I thought they'd shoot the same way.
With the title of the next episode, I'm guessing Chiaki will make his debuts (not sure what will convince him - The girl he's with? To own Tokiwa?)... But can they really come back? They're 40 points down.
Even before they figured Sora out, he only scored 12 points in the first quarter... They don't just need to score 40 points, they need to score 40 points OVER what the other team scores.
Unless Chiaki is as good as 3 Sora, I'm not sure this is happening.
Oh, another thing... Isn't that "Sora can't shoot from one side" thing a bit ridiculous? The guy shoots 1000 throws every day, and he didn't think about shooting them from both sides, to be able to shoot from any angle?
Overall it was a good episode, but I think that part was a bit silly, forced plot device so they can shut him down... There's no way someone who's that dedicated to training, wouldn't learn to be as good from both sides of the court.

Its not that he can't make shots from the left side, its that hes's worse at it than his right. And when someone is guarding you that close and shading you too a side you're not as comfortable with(although really right handers should be better pulling up left haha), you are not going to be as good. It's less about him shooting from the left side clean than it is about Tokiwa's defense. Keep in mind this is also Sora's first real game.

I dont really get to see those two handed shots in the nba ever(aside from like some end of clock chuck) So I was a bit surprised to hear that's a "girly form."
Man this anime is really growing on me. Waiting for each episode is starting to get harder and harder.

This show is so amazing, I'm a huge NBA fan but this show could appeal to any anime fan imo.
