Summary[]

Sakuragi rethinks his decision and returns to the basketball team, although he is still forced to learn the basics. Some time later, coach Mitsuyoshi Anzai arrives after arranging a practice match against Ryonan High School, and he sets up a match between the first years and other players. Sakuragi is not allowed to play, but he is amazed at seeing Akagi and Rukawa's abilities. With minutes left in the match, Anzai allows Sakuragi to join the first year team. Sakuragi seizes the opportunity to attempt a slam dunk, but misses and dunks the ball on Akagi's head, which attracts Anzai's notice. Following this practice match, Tatsuhiko Aota, the captain of the Shohoku judo team and a childhood friend of Akagi, notices Sakuragi's fighting skills and attempts to lure him away from the basketball team to join the judo team. Sakuragi decides to meet with Aota after noticing that Haruko is very familiar with him. Aota reveals his rivalry with Akagi and that he has been in love with Haruko since they were younger, and attempts to use photographs of a younger Haruko as a bribe to make Sakuragi join. Sakuragi, however, stubbornly refuses to join the judo team and fights Aota for the photos. When asked by Aota why he refuses to quit the basketball team, Sakuragi declares it is because he is a basketball player.
