Hyuga shows up and adds that if they don't he'll confess his feelings buck naked. Riko is impressed and agrees to coach them. Although Kiyoshi was the founder, he trusts Hyuga to be captain. Seirin get to the finals of the preliminaries and face Kirisaki Dai Ichi. With less than 4 minutes left in the game, Kiyoshi's leg starts acting up. Hanamiya Makoto enters the game, and as punishment for Seirin's imminent win, he maneuvers his team to injure Kiyoshi while making it look like an accident. Seirin win 84-83. and the team visit Kiyoshi in hospital. He lies and claims it is just a sprain, but Hyuga confronts him later and Kiyoshi admits that with rehabilitation and surgery his knee will heal by the time he finishes high-school. Even if he skips the surgery it will still be a year before he returns, and he will keep accumulating damage as he plays basketball and will only be able to play for a year at most. Hyuga vows that they will become the best team in Japan next year. Without Kiyoshi, Seirin were eliminated from the championship league by the three kings.
