Strictly speaking, the Slam Dunk movie version of Sanno Industry is not the point at all, but from the point of view of the point guard Miyagi Yoshida. The movie starts from the fact that Miyagi Yoshida was influenced by his brother on the basketball school team when he was a child and liked basketball until his brother After passing away in a shipwreck, Miyagi Yoshida no longer regards basketball as an ordinary sport when facing basketball.
