Rebound 1

The Johnan High School basketball team has made it to the nationals, but they'll learn that playing against neighborhood kids pales in comparison to the kind of game the pros from all over Japan are going to show them. .... At the tail end of the second quarter, Kobayashi sinks a two-pointer, but that isn't enough to pull Johnan ahead of it's opponent, Okinawa's Kyan Marine Industry High School. The Tokyo hopefuls close the half trailing by 19 points. These Okinawa players are tough, reared at an American military base where basketball is a full contact sport. They got mad skills, a precision defense, a ferocious offense, and some mean-looking hair-cuts. Johnan's got to get their heads back in the game if they want to beat these guys and advance to the second round to face their archrivals, Tsukuba High School, the very school that knocked them out of the nationals last year.Nishiyama, Yuriko is the author of 'Rebound 1 ' with ISBN 9781591820741 and ISBN 159182074X.
