Slam Dunk: Shouhoku Saidai no Kiki! Moero Sakuragi Hanamichi

Shohoku is still reeling from its painful defeat to Kainan, and Hanamichi Sakuragi has shaved his head as a sign of repentance. An exhibition match against little-known Ryoukufu High looks like the perfect chance for the team to regain its confidence before the next challenge.

Ryoukufu, however, is anything but an easy opponent. The school has assembled a formidable lineup around talented players with something to prove, and the supposedly friendly match quickly becomes a test of Shohoku's resolve. With old frustration still hanging over the team, Sakuragi and his teammates must rediscover their rhythm before another loss breaks the momentum they fought so hard to build.
