Ryota Miyagi宮城 リョータ
Lightning Flash Ryota
Point Guard · 168 cm · 59 kg · year 2
The fastest player in the series. At 168 cm he still keeps pace with Fujima and Maki, breaks double teams with a shallow dribble, and takes the captaincy after Akagi.

Kanagawa · 1st Quarter
The 90s Basketball Saga
The school nobody had heard of. A squad that could not clear the prelims a year earlier topples the country's number one with four new parts: a rookie rebounding monster, a freshman prodigy, a returning three-point shooter and a point guard made of lightning.

Lightning Flash Ryota
Point Guard · 168 cm · 59 kg · year 2
The fastest player in the series. At 168 cm he still keeps pace with Fujima and Maki, breaks double teams with a shallow dribble, and takes the captaincy after Akagi.
The Three-Point Ace
Shooting Guard · 184 cm · 70 kg · year 3
A former junior-high MVP and a three-point specialist back after two lost years. Once his feet are set no closeout troubles him; his one real weakness is stamina.
Super Rookie
Small Forward · 187 cm · 75 kg · year 1
A freshman who can play any position. With an injured eye he shot his free throws blind; Anzai rates him and Sakuragi above his own former protégé.
King of Rebounds
Power Forward · 189 cm · 83 kg · year 1
He touched a ball for the first time four months ago; today he is Kanagawa's best rebounder. His shot is reliable only from one narrow angle, but his power and leap have no equal on the floor.
Gori
Centre · 197 cm · 93 kg · year 3
Captain, and the wall beneath the rim. He refused to leave the floor on an injured ankle and carried the dream of a national title alone for three years.
2nd Quarter
Jersey four through fifteen, 12 players. The five above take the stage; the rest of this list are the ones who carried them there.

Half Time
Kanagawa's three powers and the champion of Akita. Pick a team: its roster, its standing and the game it played against Shohoku open below.
陵南高校Kanagawa
The school at the other end of the coast, Shohoku's mirror image. Taoka's brutal conditioning and Sendoh's reading of the game build Kanagawa's most balanced scoring trio — but the bench is thin.

海南大附属高校Kanagawa
The "Kings of Kanagawa." Seventeen straight trips to the nationals, a bottomless bench and stamina that never runs out. Maki is an offence on his own; even their reserves dismantle regional semi-finalists.

翔陽高校Kanagawa
Kanagawa's tallest line-up: four of the starting five stand over 190 cm. Their captain is also their coach — Fujima runs the team from the sideline, then changes the tempo single-handedly when he steps on court.

山王工業高校Akita
Japan's number one. The country's best centre and best high-school player in the same starting five. They study even weak opponents all night and scrimmage against college teams — then lose by a single point to an unknown Kanagawa side.

3rd Quarter
Games are not won by the five on the floor alone. The coaches and managers of all five teams: twenty thousand shots in a week, a final read wrong, and an analysis that ran all night.
88-90Kainan · Kanagawa finals, round 1
The White-Haired Buddha
no record · no record
Once known at university as the White-Haired Devil, now a master who grows players without breaking them. He made Sakuragi take twenty thousand shots in a week.
no record · no record · year 2
Team manager. She knows the game better than most of the players, and keeps Miyagi on a short leash.
no record · no record · year 1
Second manager and Akagi's sister. She asked the one question that pulled Sakuragi into the game: do you like basketball?
no record · no record
A hard-nosed coach who is expert at picking apart an opponent's weak points. He was the first to see Sendoh as a point guard — and he lost the final by underestimating Sakuragi.
no record · no record
The architect of a seventeen-year streak of national appearances, and the man who told Maki that the one standing at the top wants victory the most.
no record · no record
The coach behind three straight titles. He has even the weakest opponent analysed all night, and scrimmages his team against college sides before the game.
Shoyo's coach is not in this grid but in the roster list: Kenji Fujima is captain and coach at once. He runs the team from the sideline, then turns the tempo of the game on his own the moment he steps on court.
4th Quarter
Three-year defending national champions, beaten by a single point by an unknown team from Kanagawa.
79-78Shohoku — SannohNational tournament, round 2
The archive keeps the next day too: in round three Shohoku lost to Aiwa Gakuen 102-40. The squad was spent, Sakuragi's back was injured, and the ride home was quiet. That is exactly what makes the one-point win mean something — winning that game never meant they would keep winning.
