After the national tournament, Akagi failed to get into the deep-sea sports university, Sakuragi injured his back, and Rukawa's plane ticket was stolen...
Overnight, the once-brilliant young talents became unemployed.
The day I, Ryota Miyagi, returned from America, I looked at the sorry state of my former teammates and silently pulled out... a bubble tea recipe book.

Netizen A: “Help! Sakuragi Hanamichi is dressed as a red gorilla mascot outside the bubble tea shop, trying to lure in customers!”
Netizen B: “Mitsui's faster at shaking bubble tea than he is at shooting threes!”
Netizen C: “Rukawa... He actually fell asleep at the register with a snot bubble hanging from his nose!”
Then one day, an NBA scout showed up at their door. “This bubble tea team of yours... would you be interested in playing in the Summer League?”
