Hanamichi Sakuragi has always hated Rukawa Kaede, which is inseparable from Haruko. Sakuragi likes Haruko very much, but Haruko is slow to respond to these things and can't feel Sakuragi's feelings for her. Haruko will be very excited when he sees Rukawa Kaede.

In fact, this is only a small part. The real reason is that Rukawa Kaede has become the focus of attention, and Sakuragi is a little unwilling. When Rukawa Kaede first joined the basketball team, his skills were superb and attracted the attention of many girls. At the same time, Sakuragi often sits on the bench. That's why he always aims at the target Rukawa Kaede. He took away the girl he liked, and Rukawa Kaede also took away her own scenery. Can Hanamichi Sakuragi not hate Rukawa Kaede?

In everyone's eyes, it's normal for Rukawa Kaede to play basketball in the ordinary way, but it's a little cold. He is also the most valuable player on the school team.

Let Hanamichi Sakuragi practice hard, and he will take a shortcut. Although they are all very keen on basketball, captain Akagi Takenori, manager johanna and vice captain Mu Mu are all top students. Even if they like basketball, it won't affect their study. Although Rukawa Kaede doesn't study well, he can listen to Haruko's lectures and guidance carefully when his grades are not good. Hanamichi Sakuragi not only didn't listen carefully, but also drew Akagi Takenori's face in class. Who will like his behavior?

When it comes to Hanamichi Sakuragi's shortcomings, he doesn't care. He just thinks that Rukawa Kaede stole his thunder. Basketball is not a personal game, it depends on the team.
