First years Yoigoshi and Azemichi go up against second years Misumi and Date in a practice match resulting in the first years suffering an overwhelming defeat. Realizing that the cause of their failure is their lack of coordinated teamwork, and that he'll have to work with Azemichi, makes Yoigoshi angry. Then he gets a flash of inspiration. If they need to work together to win, then they can use codes to coordinate their plays. Yoigoshi and Azemichi begin secret training sessions. All fired up, they challenge the second years once more!
and a pass never comes to 
me when I want it, either.
Sie passen mir nicht zu, wenn ich es brauche.
et personne ne me la fait
au bon moment,
e nemmeno io ricevevo i passaggi 
quando li chiamavo.
e nunca passam quando você quer também.
а когда я хочу принять мяч — 
никто не пасует.
