With about 2 minutes and 25 seconds left in the game, Norika Konno scored off a Eurostep, one of her signature moves, for a layup.
By that time, however, the game was virtually over. Konno's Seiwa Gakuen fell 87-69 to Gifu Girls on Tuesday in the third round of the All Japan High School Championship, one of the country's three major high school hoop tourneys.
It was a bitter ending to the last big event of her career at the Sendai school. The senior shooting guard was called for three fouls within the first four minutes of the game and picked up her fourth early in the third quarter.
