Говорят, что плохие парни привлекают девушек, однако хулиган Ханамичи Сакураги явно к таковым не относится. Повстречав Харуко, первую девушку, которая проявила к нему хотя бы минимальный интерес, он соврал о том, что любит баскетбол. А когда попытался доказать свои умения — сел в лужу. Тем не менее, пораженная невероятной атлетичностью парня, Харуко пригласила его вступить в школьную баскетбольную команду.

Shohoku's "speedster" and point guard, Ryouta Miyagi, always plays with brains and lightning speed, running circles around his opponents while feigning composure. Born and raised in Okinawa, Ryouta had a brother who was three years older. Following in the footsteps of his older brother, who was a famous local player from a young age, Ryouta also became addicted to basketball.

In his second year of high school, Ryouta plays with the Shohoku High School basketball team along with Sakuragi, Rukawa, Akagi, and Mitsui as they take the stage at the Inter-High School National Championship. And now, they are on the brink of challenging the reigning champions, Sannoh Kogyo High School.
