"Come on, brother~!!"

"Hmm~~, okay, I'll definitely come back with the national winner~!!"

The center of the senior high school basketball team of Xiangbei High School, Akagi Gangxian, has left home and is ready to go to the national competition.

It was his first national competition in his three years of high school, and perhaps, his last.

"I'm leaving~!!"

Akagi's teammate, second-year guard Ryota Miyagi, looked in the mirror, fiddled with his own pose, and left the house.

As a short defender, the challenge he will face in the national competition will be more severe~~

"This time, I will never leave regrets for myself~!!"

Mitsui, who is in the third grade, as the outside shooter of the Xiangbei team, is also an important part of the team, because of the waste of time spent by bad teenagers before, Mitsui may cherish this national competition even more.

"Come on, yourself~!!"

is also in the third grade, as the sixth person of the team, "Brother Glasses" Mumu Gongyan, has always been the leader of the locker room of the Xiangbei team.

Emerald green wicker, on a quiet road, Kaede Rukawa, the best newcomer in Kanagawa Prefecture, is using his unique skill - riding with his eyes closed.

The national competition should be the best stage for Rukawa Kaede to show himself to the national audience.

And how far the Xiangbei team can go in the end is likely to depend on this handsome guy with small eyes~~

"Oops~!! Oops~!! Oops~!! It's too late~!! ”

And here, the newcomer Sakuragi Hanamichi, who has always been regarded by the outside world as an uneasy factor for the Xiangbei team, is running wildly on the busy road, and his bright red hair makes him more obvious.

But Sakuragi Hanamichi is lucky, in less than half a year of contact with basketball, he has made such great progress, and he has been able to play in the national competition, there is luck, and there is also Sakuragi's proof of basketball talent~!!

In the blink of an eye, several years have passed since the time when the Xiangbei Five Tigers competed in the national competition, and our protagonist, Sakuragi Hanamichi, his No. 10 jersey, is about to complete his retirement in Xiangbei High School.

What people called a basketball layman back then is now a hero in the hearts of quite a few people.

Sakuragi's jersey retirement ceremony is underway, and it is now time for the presentation stage.

"My heart will always be in Xiangbei ~ !!"

"Papapa~!!!!!!"

With thunderous applause at the scene again, Sakuragi's speech ended.

Next, there is the most eye-catching "unveiling session".

Sakuragi Hanamichi and the vice principal of Xiangbei High School and the director of the physical education department, the three of them came to the black cloth together.

The three of them slowly pulled down the black cloth~~, and everyone also stood up one after another, taking pictures with their mobile phones, commemorating the arrival of the historic moment.

I saw the most familiar No. 10 jersey with red lines on a white background, the number was written Hanamichi Sakuragi (Sakuragi Flower Road), and the number was written 2002-2003 below, which was the year of Sakuragi Hanamichi when he was a freshman in high school, and slowly appeared in front of everyone.

As if looking at the jersey, it was as if I saw the owner of the jersey back then, with flaming red hair, running all over the court, desperately grabbing rebounds Sakuragi Hanamichi~!!

Sakuragi looked at his jersey, pounded his chest, pursed his lips, and seemed to be moved to tears.

This No. 10 jersey, the No. 10 jersey of the Xiangbei team belonging to Sakuragi Hanamichi, will always be hung on the wall of the Xiangbei team training hall and in everyone's hearts.

I believe that this jersey will also inspire generations of Xiangbei basketball people to forge ahead, chase their dreams, help the Xiangbei team, and realize the dream of "dominating the country" left by Akagi as soon as possible.

This may also be another reason for Xiangbei to retire Sakuragi Hanamichi jerseys.

After the retirement ceremony of Sakuragi Hanamichi, everyone returned to their respective teams and began their dream journey again.

Because after the All-Star break, there is still some time before the playoffs, so teams still have a long time to fight for a playoff spot.

However, the Jaguars, which are part of Kaede Rukawa and Tsuyoshi Akagi, don't seem to be worried about their playoff spots, and they are on their way to their first regular-season title in franchise history.

The team is currently three wins ahead of the second-placed Great White Sharks.

Although there are only three wins, this is a big difference.

And for the Jaguar team, the most important thing is that their run-in has far exceeded expectations,

Nakaliban seems to be slowly infected by Rukawa Kaede's leadership, and has been integrated into the team, and McTanaka and Cheri's performance is becoming more and more stable, and the most important thing is that the two old illnesses of the Jaguar team, Akagi Goken and Abe Tatsune, have maintained a good physical condition, which is the best signal for the Jaguar team.

"Team Jaguar defeated Team Ninja and won 6 in a row ~!!"

"Jaguar Team defeated Osaka Iron Horse Team, winning 9 consecutive victories ~ !!"

"Rukawa Kaede quasi-lore, Jaguar team narrowly defeated the Rising Sun team, 12 consecutive wins~!!"

In the late stages of the All-Star break, the Jaguars won 12 consecutive games to hold on to the first place, and although they lost later, in the end, the Jaguars still achieved a 41-7 record and won the first regular season championship in the team's history.

This Jaguar team is indeed the strongest ~~ in the history of the Jaguar team

Next, the Jaguar team may be attacking for the first championship in team history~!!

In the first round of the playoffs, the Jaguar team faced the eighth-placed Hokkaido Lavender~~

This is also the first time in 4 years that the Jaguar team has entered the playoffs with home advantage.

Lavender once pulled down the invincible Antlers team in the eighth position, and I don't know if this time, the Jaguar team can successfully step through the first round.

"This is the playoffs, this is the playoffs~!! Every round, every game, every opponent, we have to pay attention to it, we have to challenge every opponent, we are the Jaguar team, this is Kobe~!!! ”

In the players' tunnel, Akagi stood in the middle of the players, shouting in a very male voice.

It can be seen that the morale of the team before the game. It's very fierce~!!

"It started, it finally started again, this time it's different from before, this time, it's no longer just for one person to win the championship, it's for those people, for everyone~!! Let's go, Rukawa Kaede~!! ”

Before the game, Rukawa Kaede motivated himself and touched his heart with his right hand. Feel your heartbeat, maybe you will know what is the reason for standing here~!!

In this way, Rukawa Kaede and Akagi Gangxian, carrying the dreams of those "slam dunk masters", set sail again, although the people around them have changed, but the will in their hearts will never change~~

That's the will of the slam dunk master, that's the will of the basketball man, that's to prove his will~!!

Do you remember that sentence~!?

"If the process is exciting enough, the result is more like a process."

No one knows if the Jaguar team will win the championship in the end, but the will to always pursue the championship and the pursuit of better quality is worthy of our applause.

"Dominate the country, this time, never break your word~!!"

“Duang~！！！！！”

"Yay~!!!!!!!!!!"

Akagi's bold words, Akagi's violent buckles, the cheers of the pump center, slam dunk masters, go forward bravely and chase your dreams~!!

The journey of chasing dreams is an unfinished journey.

The slam dunks are still on the way~~, they have never left~~.
