Низкорослый, но крайне мотивированный Сора Куруматани поступает в старшую школу Кудзурю не просто так. У него есть цель. Он жаждет исполнить обещание, данное матери, и победить в баскетбольном турнире.

Однако на деле оказывается, что школьный клуб — пристанище для хулиганов, которым на баскетбол глубоко начхать. Единственные выжившие члены клуба — Момохару Ханадзоно, искусный защитник, но совершенный профан в бросках, и его брат-близнец Тиаки, талантливый разыгрывающий защитник, — оба утратили весь запал и готовы сдаться.

Всего одна игра, полная адреналина, скорости и азарта, а ещё заразительная любовь Соры к баскетболу — вот и всё, что нужно, чтобы разжечь в юных сердцах соревновательный дух и желание играть.

Lacking what is considered the most important asset in basketball, Sora Kurumatani has struggled with his short height since the inception of his love for the game. Despite missing this beneficial aspect, Sora's unwavering drive never allowed his small stature to dictate his ability to play, believing strongly in trying his hardest and persistently practicing to prove his capability.

In hopes of satisfying his mother's wishes, Sora enters Kuzuryuu High School to become a member of the basketball club and compete wholeheartedly in tournaments. However, Sora is disappointed to find out that the boy's basketball team is nothing but a retreat for punks who have no interest in the sport. Sora also comes to learn that brothers Chiaki and Momoharu Hanazono—whom he becomes acquainted with—have also lost their once spirited motivation to play.

Determined to revive the basketball team, Sora challenges the boys to a match against him, where his quick feet and swift movements overwhelm the group. Gradually affected by Sora's impressive skills, sheer effort, and tireless devotion to basketball, the boys unexpectedly find their burnt-out passion for the game rekindling once again.
