Kite only cares about two things: the ball and the basket. Team bonding? He’ll pass, thanks — but will he change his tune when he learns he shares a common dream with Sora?

Winning the match against the girls’ team should be a piece of cake, but Nao’s tactical abilities — not to mention the value of teamwork — shouldn’t be taken lightly.

True passion for the game drives players like Sora to succeed. But can passion for basketball be taught — especially to players still new to the sport?

The players of Kuzu High have just one practice game to prove they’re worth taking seriously. Has their training camp paid off, or will Kitasumi High dominate the court?

Although guarding Taro is exhausting, Sora’s intense eyes make it clear that he’s ready to face the challenge head on. But can Chucky say the same when he takes to the court?

Dedication. Perseverance. Commitment. These are the qualities that make a basketball champion — and thanks to Konishi, Momoharu isn’t sure if he possesses any of them.

The school basketball tournament pits teammate against teammate. As Sora and Tobi face off, a towering new player steps onto the court.

After a sleepless night, the first match of the tournament has arrived. But Kuzu High isn’t the only team pinning their dreams on this game.

Despite his terrible knee injury, Kojima’s skill are formidable, but he isn’t the only member of Shinjo High that Kuzu should keep on their radar…

Sora is nowhere to be found, and in his absence, the basketball team must pick up the pieces. Whether they will succeed depends on the fire burning in their hearts.

It may be raining, but nothing can douse Sora and his teammates’ fiery passion for basketball. Proving that passion to the administration, however, is another matter entirely.

After a rocky start, Kuzu plays surprisingly well again Yokohama Taiei — but when a new player enters the game, the tide abruptly turns.

At rock bottom, the only way to go is up. Tobi knows this all too well, and he’s determined to take Kuzu High all the way to the top! But first they need to take Taiei down…

Once they find the spark that sets them alight, Kuzu High will not be stopped. The spark that sets Sora ablaze? Another player who will bring out his full potential.

Some players run toward the finish line; others stop or slow down along the way. With Chiaki’s help, Tobi intends to sprint straight to winning against Yokohama Taiei!

The match is finally over, and one question remains: Have the players of Kuzu High done enough to save the basketball club, or have their inter-high dreams come to an end?
