NBA: This flower path is a bit strong.

Huh… Huh… This day has finally come… Huh… Huh…” A tall young man with a distinct facial contour, wearing only a black vest and a bright red crew cut, was casually sitting on the bench in the stadium to adjust his breathing and recover his strength. His eyes were sharp, revealing a rebellious and unruly look, and his eyes were filled with an eager desire for victory.

"Squeak..." With a sound, the door of the basketball hall was slowly pushed open.

A young student about 180cm tall with middle-parted hair walked in. Seeing the basketballs rolling everywhere on the basketball court, he shouted helplessly to the red-haired young man sitting there: "Hey, Hanamichi! I've already told you in advance that today is the semi-final against Fuqiu Junior High School. Don't overtrain. You are the key to our victory. Don't get tired too early and then you won't be able to run!"

The red-haired man stretched his legs and stood up and said, "Oda, I am the great genius (Sakuragi) Hanamichi who has unlimited physical strength to resurrect. Of course, Rukawa Kaede from Fugaoka Junior High School is no problem for me."

The man with the middle-parted hair, Oda Ryumasa, approached Hanamichi, patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Don't be careless, the key to this game depends on you."

Before (Sakuragi) Hanamichi could respond, four voices rang out from the entrance of the gymnasium:

"He will definitely be careless."

"Correct!"

"You're right."

“That’s what flower arrangement is like~”

The people who came were none other than (Sakuragi) Hanamichi's close friends Mito Yohei, Oh Kusuo, Takamiya Nozomi and Noma Chuichiro.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang", four sounds were heard, and four figures lay down in the basketball hall.

After Sakuragi Hanamichi headbutted the ball 4 times, he looked at the orange basketball on the court with confidence and said, "That may not happen in this life!"

It turns out that the heart of Sakuragi Hanamichi in this life has long been changed. When his father died of a heart attack in the second grade of junior high school, Sakuragi Hanamichi was exhausted physically and mentally due to excessive grief and being beaten by a group of gangsters. Finally, one night, with infinite yearning for a better future, he followed a meteor to the book world of another great god Inoue. However, the body that originally existed in real life was traveled by a young man from the flower-growing family in the future, Hanamichi. Along with the meteor came something called a basketball data panel, and this basketball data panel was Hanamichi's golden finger.

In his previous life, Hanamichi was a frequent visitor to baseball stadiums, but he always lost. In his spare time, he liked to read sports and hot-blooded comics. When he saw the national competition in comics, he was worried because Sakuragi Hanamichi was seriously injured while saving the ball. He murmured to the shooting star and made a wish that Sakuragi Hanamichi would recover and enter the NBA as soon as possible, and then he came to this world in a daze.

After coming into this world, the first thing Hanamichi did was to shave his bright red hair into a short haircut. Of course, the color was inherited from his father who had gone to heaven and his mother who returned to the flower-growing family after the divorce. So Sakuragi had no intention of dyeing it black.

After this, Hanamichi has figured out that this world is indeed the world of Slam Dunk, Oda Ryumasa, Mito Yohei, and the three idiots from Wako Junior High School all really exist, and this world overlaps with the real world of later generations. Hanamichi immediately knows what he should do to live up to the precious wealth left by his predecessor!

Yes, the predecessor Sakuragi Hanamichi was penniless, he ate ramen and kept accounts, bought sneakers by force, and worked at a newspaper transfer station during holidays. Apart from a house left by his father, a meager savings, and four reliable buddies, he had nothing else. But he left behind a body with great basketball talent... Why not say it's a fighting body? Nonsense, we've come to Kanagawa in 4, why not play basketball?

So Hanamichi found Oda Ryumasa, the captain of the Wako Junior High School basketball team at the time, and expressed his determination to join the Wako Junior High School basketball team by shaving his head.

Of course, Oda Ryumasa didn't believe Hanamichi's words. After all, he knew what kind of person this classmate of more than a year was like. What if there was a violent incident in the basketball club? So Oda's first reaction was to refuse.

But after Mito Yohei accidentally revealed the accident of Hanamichi's father, he agreed to Hanamichi's request to join the club, hoping that he could get over this sad memory as soon as possible. After all, it is still 1990 in Japan, and what bad intentions can ordinary junior high school students have?

However, Oda Ryumasa also put forward a reasonable request, which is that he hopes Hanamichi will not interfere with the normal training of the basketball team. The implication is that I will not care about you and you don’t come to disturb us, and we can live in peace with each other!

Hanamichi, who had finally managed to get into the basketball club, naturally agreed immediately.

Relying on the memories and basketball experience of his previous life, Hanamichi thought that he would be able to dominate the junior high school world quickly. He might even be able to earn the title of "The Twin Walls of Kanagawa" with that stinky fox Rukawa Kaede. However, he made a fool of himself the first time he touched the ball.

Hanamichi can't dribble at all, or to be more precise, he can't dribble. The athletic talent of this body left behind by his predecessor is too amazing, far beyond his previous life. With the experience and skills of his previous life, Hanamichi can't control this body at all. Everything has to start from scratch, and it takes time to slowly adapt.

So Hanamichi started with basic dribbling. Apart from his short red hair that was particularly eye-catching, he was basically the same as an ordinary junior high school student. He went to and from school on time every day, participated in club activities after school, and then went home.

No one else came to fight with Hanamichi, as they were all blocked by the Sakuragi Army. In the words of Mizuto Yohei, brothers not only fight together, but also when one day you can no longer go to the battlefield with us, we will still support you in everything you do.

It took a full six months for Ikebana to adapt to this body under this daily rhythm. It was also during this six months that Oda Ryumasa saw the changes in Ikebana, and his occasional guidance saved him a lot of trouble.

In the end, Oda Ryumasa accepted this teammate with great potential and talent from the bottom of his heart, and let him participate in the collective activities of the basketball team when he was in the third year of junior high school.

Hanamichi followed the Shaquille O'Neal mentality of "one trick to rule them all" (O'Neal started out as a dribbling guard, and when he first entered the league he was a big guy who could run, jump and dribble. After gaining weight, he found that he could crush his opponents just by relying on his footwork and strength under the basket, so he seldom used his basketball skills, which can be described as a one-trick pony). So in his third year of junior high school, he focused on refining his footwork under the basket and his finishing under the basket. On defense, he relied on his excellent physical activity to constantly sweep back and forth between the restricted area and the free throw line, and did special positioning training for rebounding. Finally, in his last year of junior high school, he came from behind to become the strongest player in the basketball team of Wako Junior High School.

In the last year, the Wako Junior High School basketball team, led by captain Ryumasa Oda and two forwards, Hanamichi Sakuragi, overcame all obstacles and finally achieved the best result in the history of Wako Junior High School basketball team, and entered the semi-finals of the Kanagawa Prefecture Junior High School Boys Basketball. Their opponent in the semi-finals was Rukawa Kaede, known as the "Offensive Demon", and his Toigaoka Junior High School.

At this time, Sakuragi Hanamichi stared at his basketball data panel (primary):

Name: (Sakuragi) Hanamichi;

年龄：15岁（1978年4月1日生，剧情年高中一年级是1992年，此时是国中三年级）；

Height: 189.5cm;

Weight: 85kg;

Wingspan: 197cm;

进攻：上篮85、篮下投篮75、三分29、中投37、低位进攻综合（包含背身靠打）70、灌篮90；

身体素质：力量91、速度90、体能92、协调度89、敏捷度95。

Ability Medal: Physical Monster (Bronze), slightly increases your physical strength recovery speed.

Self-contained system: roaming the restricted area. Relying on its own nerve reaction, speed and agility, it sweeps back and forth near the restricted area. In the defensive system, it roams everywhere, fills in the gaps, and establishes a highly flexible and oppressive interior defense.

Achieve bond: Sakuragi Army (If you are taunted by any member of the Sakuragi Army during a basketball game, your physical strength will be increased by 10% of the full value. This can only be done once per game)

Looking at his own basketball data, these are the results of Hanamichi's continuous efforts to adapt to his physical talents and integrate his experience and skills in wild ball from his previous life. Although Hanamichi's own reinforcement plan has certain tendencies and limitations, at least it is still quite impressive from the panel.

"Hmph, I'm an enhanced basketball player~the great genius Sakuragi Hanamichi."
