The best-selling series from Eisner-nominated Takehiko Inoue, one of
Japan's greatest manga creators.
Winning isn't everything in the game of basketball, but who wants to
come in second? It takes dedication and discipline to be the best, and
the Shohoku High hoops team wants to be just that. They have one last
year to make their captain's dream of reaching the finals come
true--will they do it?
After watching a video of Sannoh's semifinal game from the previous
year, the Shohoku players, except Sakuragi of course, are feeling
nervous--three of Sannoh's starters this year played on that
championship team. To make things worse, the stands are filled with
Sannoh supporters eager to see their favorite rack up an easy win
against Shohoku. But Coach Anzai's been here before and he knows his
players, instructing them to lead off with a surprise attack that lets
Sannoh know that Shohoku's in the house, and they aren't going out
without a fight!
