About to begin a practice match with the 4th strongest team in the region, Ryonan,

Shohoku players enter Ryonan territory filled with spirit.

However, after finding out that he wasn't going to be a starter,

Sakuragi Hanamichi became extremely mad.

Luckily, coach Anzai told Hanamichi that he is a "Secret Weapon"

and that finally settled everything.

Sakuragi walked to Ryonan's ace Sendo and announce how he was going to win.

Shortly after the match began, Akagi's destined opponent

Ryonan's captain, Uozumi

completely blocked 3 shots made by Shohoku.

How's that? Witness my power, Akagi.

This round, we will get at least 100 points.

Yeah!

Super High School Level! Ryonan's Fierce Attack

This is bad, it's bad, Pops.

That boss monkey, he...

How can you call coach Pops?

You must call coach Anzai-sensei politely!

It's bad Ayako-san, it's too dangerous.

Why are you that polite to me and so rude to the sensei. I really don't get you.

Defense, defense, defense...

Let's do this, block another one.

Yeah!

That cocky boss monkey.

Megane: Glasses

All he blocked was Megane-kun, Rukawa and Gori's shot and he's already so damn cocky.

The crowd isn't so great either.

Uozumi's spirit is reaching its peak and the others are also becoming more active.

Yes, yes, that's it!

Pops, this is an important time.

The only way is to release the secret weapon, right?

Alright, it's up to me, Secret Weapon Sakuragi!

Hey Rukawa, you come off.

Don't be like that.

What are you even talking about?

The match has not even been two minutes.

Go sit down right now!

Sakuragi, don't do it...

Let go of me! What are you going to do?

Damn it! We can't lose to that boss monkey!

I must get on! Get on!

Hanamichi is causing trouble again.

No one wants to step onto the court and he isn't going to be of any help either.

Ryonan's number 4 is really strong, he's practically a monster.

Hanamichi will never allow his team to loose.

Of course he can't stand it, I think he sees basketball as a gang fight.

That must be it.

Calm down. Calm down.

Sakuragi-kun...

Alright! Let's go Ryonan!

Uozumi!

Sendo-san!

Even Akagi and Rukawa's shots got blocked away.

And each of them has different speed.

So this is Ryonan.

Yasuda, pass the ball back quickly!

Attack, attack!

This is bad, everyone's spirit has been contained by Uozumi's blocks.

Even their hearts are scared, this is going to be over.

Pops, Pops, It's time now to release the Secret Weapon, fast!

Sit down! Everything is alright.

Shohoku is not full of unskilled players you know?

They are just a little rusty.

Rukawa, he... Does he want to play against Uozumi?

A first year player!?

Alright! Let's go!

Sendo!

Damn it!

Stop him! Rukawa!

Rukawa's return speed is very fast.

Fast, they're both really fast.

He's going to shoot.

Not a chance!

Nice assist, Sendo-san!

Nice shot, Koshino-san.

How, how could he do such a great pass.

Damn it, one day I will be like him.

I must be able to like him.

Let's do this, try to attack as much as possible.

Yeah!

Damn it, their spirit is so strong.

Good, the team spirit is great, all due to Captain Uozumi.

But Sendo has also brought a lot to the team.

Those two are our main force and also our central control.

Their performance and partnership are the best.

This is only the beginning!

You must use this game and lead by at least 30 points, understand?

Yes!

Lead by 30 points?

You... you idiot, what are you doing!?

Ref! Get over here now!

Technical Foul!

Moron, what the hell do you think you were doing?

In the 5 minutes of the 1st half,

Due to Ryonan's fierce offense and Sakuragi's technical foul,

The score is now 15 to 0.

Taoka's speech about leading by 30 points

has motivated Uozumi

and Ryonan's ace, 2nd year player Sendo

to perform to their best abilities.

Alright Sendo!

Alright!

Great!

Rukawa-kun!

Sendo! Sendo! Sendo!...

Isn't it great, Coach?

Just like a star.

Just wait until summer at the regional competition, there will be similar crowd noise.

At that time, our opponent probably won't be Shohoku but they will be national teams.

He is a new player but crowd loves Sendo.

Not only because of scoring but because of his amazing assist passes.

Sendo-san's skilled techniques doing one pass another to amaze his opponent.

I must use him as my goal target.

What a loud cheer. Every one's yelling for him.

I just hope the pressure is not getting to them.

Hey! Where are you going, Sakuragi Hanamichi?

Nowhere, just to tell them to shut up.

You can't go!

You just got a technical foul already.

Damn it, help cheer Shohoku on already! You guys are useless!

I told you to sit down, for god's sake.

Amazing, I thought at that time number 7 was going to shoot.

Scary, at this level. We can never catch up.

Only Rukawa could handle and manage till now.

But Sendo's abilities are just too strong.

He's going for a 3 point shot!

Yes!

Ikegami!

Sendo!

It's a fast break!

All this guy can do is that move.

Good play!

That's the Sendo-san we know.

I thought he was going to fake and pass again,

I can't believe he went up by himself.

This is what I call expert skills.

Amazing. That's amazing!

Alright, this match is a sure win.

But at this time, Taoka still hasn't noticed

This highly skilled ball technique has already ignited two people's rage.

Hi guys, finally Hanamichi will put on the show on the court, let's cheer him on!

If you can hold the ball in a hand, you'll be a great basketball player.

They can't go on like this.

They will lose for sure.

Why hasn't Hanamichi come onto the court yet?

Rukawa-kun...

19 to 0, do they have a chance to come back?

It's hopeless.

No it isn't. In the first half, they will surely comeback.

If Rukawa didn't defend so much, and got one in. Breaking down Ryonan's spirit.

Do your best big brother!

Do your best, Rukawa-kun!

Come on! Let's get one in, and calm things down.

Bring it all back one by one.

Let's begin! Let's do this!

Yasuda!

Yes!

Alright! Go for it!

Hey Yasu! Pick things up already! Move it!

You must call him Yasuda-san! He is your sempai!

Ryonan is too strong.

We're just not good enough to play against them.

You guys are so annoying! Shut up!

Alley-oop, mid air dunk!

Dunk!

Stop the match already!

Rukawa!

Alright, let's go!

Amazing jump power. That interception... now I know Rukawa is strong.

Last time at Shohoku, seeing Sakuragi's jump was already shocking.

But Rukawa's jumps isn't worst than his.

He surely isn't normal.

Rukawa Kaede, I will remember you.

Rukawa-kun!

Rukawa.

Rukawa-kun!

Rukawa... I really don't want Shohoku to loose.

but I also don't enjoy watching Rukawa leading the team.

Uekusa!

Koshino-san!

Nice, what great handling.

How can you encourage the other team!

I'm sorry.

But, he is surely very talented.

No wonder he can easily get the ball and...

getting it pass our two guards, Uekusa-san and Koshino-san, with ease.

His moves and dribblings are just excellent and his speed... no one can catch up.

Great, go for it Rukawa!

Rukawa!

Sendo!

Akagi!

Oh! Gori!

That's the Gorilla Dunk!

That is Shohoku's captain Akagi.

What a dunk! Is he really a mid year student?

Akagi.

That's good, good, Gori.

No wonder you are the Captain of the team.

What a powerful dunk that was.

You got it wrong. You should give more points to that dunk.

Wait...

Let's give it 10 points. Don't be so stingy, give it more.

Don't go anywhere, you idiot!

Alright, from now on,

we will not let one ball pass.

Yeah!

Shohoku finally rises again!

Go! Go!

This is it, we're starting now.

You must all cheer them on!

Yes!

Look look! They're beginning to come back!

They now have a chance of winning.

They might be able to turn tides around.

But there is still a difference of 17 points.

That's not a problem, they can win it!

This guy's reflex just got quicker all of a sudden.

Ryonan's got Uozumi and Sendo and on our side we've got Captain Akagi and Rukawa.

We are no longer the same as the last year.

The dunk made by Akagi just now has made the guard's spirit rise tremendously.

Shohoku's Akagi sure is powerful.

But, before that, the one who made Akagi's dunk possible

was 1st year player, Rukawa.

If we only guard Akagi this year, I'm afraid things won't work out.

It's time to let me on, Pops.

Stop it!

Anzai-sensei, this year you've got strong new players.

You even have a strange monster.

Uekusa.

Ikegami!

Everyone's formation is getting stronger and stronger.

Hey Ikegami! If you can't, don't lay it up! Understand!

Fast break!

That's good, Yasu!

Alright!

Let's put another in quickly when no one's guarding.

Yes!

Amazing leadership skills.

He's practically carrying the whole team. He is who they call "Captain".

No matter if it's Akagi-san or Rukawa-san, they're getting more and more strong players.

But I still think Shohoku is still hiding one, the one who once beat Captain Akagi before.

The next captain of Shohoku, Sakuragi Hanamichi.

No matter how strong Ryonan is, I'm afraid we will have a strong opponent after all.

Koshino!

Come on!

What a strong defense! Uozumi-san can't get it up.

Not even Captain Uozumi can.

Don't avoid him, Uozumi!

Go strong! Go strong!

3 seconds! 3 Seconds!

3 seconds, overtime!

Alright!

Huh? Ah, alright!

What is the 3 second rule?

That is, offensive opponent can not stay in the key for more than 3 seconds,

Then it's up to the other team to throw in.

The tide is beggining to turn around.

Shohoku's monster will not loose to Ryonan's monster.

But being that guy is Haruko-chan's brother, something I still can't believe.

Agreed!

Your brother is really great!

Yeah, I guess so.

No wonder he's the captain.

Big brother, go for it!

Ha... Haruko-san!

Haruko-san is here too?

Here she is!

You have such large ears.

She's beautiful out of her uniform, her pony tails are even cuter.

Sakuragi-kun!

Is it time for the secret weapon to play yet? Let me go on already, Pops!

I told you to behave!

Alright! We're getting all the rebounds.

Shoot it Akagi-san!

Don't underestimate me!

How can that happen!

Rukawa...

Rukawa! Rukawa-kun!

Rukawa-kun!

Shohoku! Shohoku! Shohoku!

Rukawa! Rukawa! Rukawa!

Shohoku! Shohoku!

Half time begins. At the beginning, when the score was 19 to 0, no one knew what to do.

But under the leadership of Captain Akagi and their newest player, Rukawa's dunk,

Shohoku's back on track and all fired up.

In the first half, Akagi got 17 point and Rukawa got 14 points.

We're winning, in the second half, we must maintain this position.

Yes!

As for Kogure, he's got 7 points, Yasuda and Shiozaki with 2 points each.

Facing a strong team like Ryonan, Shohoku was able to comeback to 42 to 50 in just 5 minutes.

Ending the first half of the game.

However, in the first half, Sakuragi still hasn't got a chance to step onto the court.
