The Shohoku Basketball Club has achieved numerous feats in the past, including finishing as runners-up in the Kanagawa qualifiers and advancing to the national tournament. Now, they are training harder than ever with the goal of defeating the nation's strongest team, Sannoh Industry. Amidst this, a new transfer student arrives at the renowned Shohoku High.
The teacher enters the Class 1-7 classroom and quiets the students down.
Teacher: Now, now, everyone be quiet!
Looking around the students, the teacher notices Sakuragi Hanamichi sleeping.
Teacher: Sigh... Someone wake Hanamichi up.
He is slumped over his desk, snoring loudly.

Rukawa Kaede, who was sitting behind Sakuragi, smacks him on the back.
Rukawa: Wake up, Sakuragi. Class started.
When Sakuragi doesn't wake up, Akagi Haruko gently taps his arm.
Haruko: Hanamichi... wake up, class is starting!
