Slam Dunk Master Sakuragi Hanamichi is a freshman at Shohoku High School in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. He is tall and strong, and is a problem boy who often fights. His love history in junior high school is that he was dumped by 50 girls! Because the 50th girl said, "I like Oda (Oda Ryumasa) from the basketball team," he hated basketball. Not long after entering high school, he was accidentally touched by a beautiful girl in the same grade and school, Akagi Haruko, who asked, "Do you like basketball?", and his hope for love was rekindled. In order to win Haruko's heart, Hanamichi joined the school basketball team, started with basic skills, and improved at an amazing speed. He often called himself a genius. In the Shohoku basketball team, the captain Akagi Takenori is Akagi Haruko's brother. He is an excellent center who has been in a trough due to lack of good teammates, and has the dream of leading the team to dominate the country. This year, the basketball super rookie Rukawa and the talented basketball layman Sakuragi Hanamichi joined the Xiangbei basketball team at the same time. The junior high school MVP, sharpshooter Mitsui Hisashi, who had been misguided by a leg injury, and the fast little guard Miyagi Ryouta, who was hospitalized for a fight, returned to the team, making Akagi's "dominant the country" no longer a dream. Because Haruko has a crush on the cool Rukawa, Sakuragi regards Rukawa as his mortal enemy. The two often quarrel, but they still admire each other's basketball talent in their hearts. During the county competition, the five main players, Akagi Takenori, Rukawa Kaede, Miyagi Ryouta, Mitsui Hisashi and Sakuragi Hanamichi, worked together to defeat strong opponents such as Shoyo and Ryonan, and finally won the ticket to the national competition as the runner-up of Kanagawa Prefecture. Akagi and Rukawa Kaede were also selected for the best lineup of the county high school basketball game, and Sakuragi Hanamichi grew into a rebounding expert. In the first game of the national league, after a hard fight, Xiangbei defeated the A-level team Touoma High School, and Rukawa Kaede's eyes were swollen by the captain of the opponent, Nan Lie. Fortunately, Nan Lie sent Rukawa anti-swelling medicine after the game. In the second game, they encountered the arrogant Sanwang Industrial High School, which has won the national championship for 3 consecutive years, and this year's Sanwang is stronger than ever. Xiangbei fought hard with it, and Sakuragi injured his spine in order to save the ball... In the end, they won by 1 point, and the last ball was a wonderful cooperation between Sakuragi and Rukawa that could not be met, and Sakuragi completed the lore with a jump shot. But in the next game against Aiwa Academy, Xiangbei lost miserably due to heavy losses... Rukawa was selected for the All-Japan National Youth Team and worked hard to become the "No. 1 high school student in Japan". Sakuragi was recovering from his injury in a sanatorium by the sea. Haruko joined the basketball team as a manager with the encouragement of the former team manager Ayako. Vice-captain Mugure and captain Akagi quit the team to review for the college entrance examination. Akagi did not accept the invitation from the famous basketball school Fukasawa Sports University, perhaps because he felt that he had not fulfilled his promise. Mitsui stayed in the team to prepare for the winter selection, and Miyagi succeeded him as captain and continued to lead Xiangbei forward. In the last scene, Sakuragi was recovering at the beach, and Rukawa passed by, opened his clothes, showed Sakuragi the word "Japan" on his T-shirt, and then ran away... The voice-over was the content of Haruko's letter, "Get well soon, I'm waiting for you, your favorite basketball is waiting for you." The last sentence Sakuragi said was "Because I am a genius."
