Winter and rebirth in northern Hunan
Before the glory of overthrowing the Mountain King in Xiangbei was over, Aihe Academy collapsed and became the most regrettable footnote in the national competition.
Akagi Mugure graduated and left the team, Rukawa Kaede went to the United States, Sakuragi Hanamichi was trapped in a nursing home with a back injury, Mitsui Hisashi stood at the crossroads of the last half semester of his senior year, and Miyagi Ryota, the 1.68 Meter point guard, took over the captain's armband that weighed more than a thousand kilograms.
The arena is empty, people are distracted, and the sports department's disbandment notice hangs above their heads. Xiangbei is facing the most bitter winter since the team was founded.
There is no invincible main force, no aura that attracts everyone's attention, only the remnants of the formation are left to hold on, and only the blood of unwillingness is left.
Is it going to sink like this, or is it going to break through and be reborn?
Miyagi's journey to captaincy, Mitsui's final game, Sakuragi's return from recovery, and the clumsy growth of new faces. The teenagers in Shohoku will eventually turn winter into spring on the basketball court.
This is the post-national competition era that belongs to Shobei. It is a basketball story about persistence, inheritance and rebirth.
