    STORY

    After captaining his junior high basketball team to second place in the Kanto Championships, Yoichi Tadokoro (Jun Shison) enrolls at basketball powerhouse private school Hakusui High on a special scholarship. But he is subjected to fierce bullying by the other members of his team, and ultimately drops out of school altogether. ? Yoichi vows never to play basketball again, but after transferring to Tadano Public High School, known colloquially as T High, he is challenged by their hopeless basketball team who are on a losing streak, and ends up joining them. Yoichi gets to know his eccentric new teammates, and begins to rediscover the joy of playing basketball. Then the Winter Cup tournament rolls around, and the T High team find themselves facing off against their bitter rivals, Hakusui High. Can these perennial losers overcome impossible odds and pull off a miraculous victory?
