Horizon VS Toyonaka : Maestro's Last Note Once again 3
Step back. Stop. Pull.
Three point jumper.
Smooth. Silent. Swish.
93 – 93.
"DIRGA! TIES IT UP WITH AN EXPLOSIVE MOVE!"
Coach Reina's face changed.
Calm turned sharp. Her arms folded tighter.
"So… that kid is back. Let's hope Yuto and Masaki can answer."
Masaki watched Dirga across the court.
His eyes locked on the Maestro like it was destiny.
"Yeah… you came back.
That's good.
My rival—let's fight."
Yuto gritted his teeth.
Watching Dirga move like that — calm, surgical, in total control — sparked something inside him.
"Damn... but there won't be a second time."
Toyonaka inbounded.
Masaki caught the ball.
He brought it up with quiet fire in his steps.
Taiga met him. Fresh legs. Tight stance. Focused.
Masaki didn't flinch.
He stopped at the three-point line.
And held.
Isolation.
The crowd held its breath.
