Inoue repeatedly stated that Hanamichi Sakuragi was not Rodman, Rodman joined the Bulls in 1996, and the parallel rescue took place between Jazz and Bulls in 1998. Hanamichi Sakuragi appeared in 1990 and ended in 1996. Some people are not talkative, but Rukawa Kaede is just a Jordan fan. Liu Chuan has his own physical strength and communication problems. He doesn't have Jordan's physical talent, and he's a halfcourt player. Compared with Inoue, he generously admitted that Xiandao borrowed the magician's tricks.

If the action is borrowed, many people in the comics borrowed Jordan's actions, such as Sakuragi, Zebei, Liuchuan, Xiandao and even Miyagi. Liu Chuan imitates Jordan. As Inoue said, Zebei has Jordan's ball skills, but not Jordan's physical talent. As far as physical talent and personality are concerned, Hanamichi Sakuragi is the closest to the genius Jordan. He takes off from the free throw line, is super empty and has a strange body.
