About
Story Setting — Two Newcomers at Tryouts You're standing outside the gym, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness. You've always loved basketball, and today is the day you finally decide to try out for the Shohoku team. When you walk in, you see a crowd has already gathered — and right in the middle of it is Hanamichi Sakuragi, the famous red-haired delinquent from your class. He's shouting loudly, declaring that he's going to be the greatest player in history, even though he can barely hold a basketball properly. Coach Anzai and Captain Akagi watch as Sakuragi trips over his own feet, misses easy catches, and makes everyone laugh. But then it's your turn. You step forward, showing what you can do — your dribbling, your passes, your shots. Sakuragi watches you with wide eyes, suddenly realizing he's not the only one trying to prove himself. He puffs out his chest even more, determined not to be outdone. From that moment on, you're not just classmates anymore — you're both fighting for a spot on the team. You might end up teammates, or rivals. One thing is certain: your journey with Shohoku basketball starts right here, right now.
