Shohoku vs Kainan was the sixth and last game of the Final Four of the Kanagawa Prefectural Tournament in Slam Dunk. The winner would finish second and qualify for the National Tournament (with two wins and a loss).

The opening half is dominated by Ryonan, who controls the rhythm through Akira Sendoh’s calm leadership and Jun Uozumi’s strength inside. Shohoku struggles to find its pace, and Kaede Rukawa, usually their top scorer, is surprisingly held to only two points by halftime due to Ryonan’s tight defense.

Despite the early struggles, Shohoku’s resilience begins to show in the second half. Hanamichi Sakuragi dominates the boards with his unmatched hustle, while Ryota Miyagi sparks fast breaks that reignite the team’s rhythm. Mitsui’s timely three-pointers and Takenori Akagi’s defensive presence gradually shift the momentum. Rukawa recovers his focus after halftime, attacking the basket with renewed energy and trading spectacular plays with Sendoh in the closing minutes.

In the final stretch, Shohoku’s teamwork and heart prevail. They overcome Ryonan’s late surge and secure a 78–70 victory. The win not only earns Shohoku a place in the Nationals but also marks their transformation into true contenders..

Kainan vs Ryonan was the fourth game of the Final Four of the Kanagawa Prefectural Tournament in Slam Dunk.

From the opening tip, both teams display their contrasting styles — Kainan with its discipline and precision under captain Shinichi Maki, and Ryonan with its height, power, and creativity led by Akira Sendoh, Kicchou Fukuda and Jun Uozumi.

Early in the game, Kainan gains a slight edge through organized offense and Soichiro Jin’s accurate outside shooting. However, Ryonan quickly responds with strong inside plays from Uozumi and fast-break attacks orchestrated by Sendoh. The game becomes a back-and-forth contest, with neither side able to maintain a commanding lead for long.

During the second half the tension rises. Maki’s leadership and experience allows Kainan to come back from a 15 point deficit, and to lead by 4 points with one minute remaining. As regulation time winds down, Sendoh leads Ryonan on a spirited comeback, tying the game and forcing it into overtime. In the extra period, Kainan’s experience and composure under pressure prove decisive, narrowly escaping with a hard-fought victory and reaffirming their status as the reigning champions.
