The defending champions unleash their full power—and Shohoku begins to crumble.
Volume 27 of the legendary Slam Dunk series, titled Shohoku in Trouble, captures the most devastating stretch of the National Tournament for our heroes . After the incredible high of their second-round match against the three-time champions, Sannoh Kogyo, Shohoku is brought crashing back down to earth.
The second half begins with Shohoku holding a narrow lead, but the veteran champions are just getting started . Sannoh's coach Domoto unleashes his team's explosive offense and suffocating "zone press" defense . In just two and a half minutes, the lead evaporates as Sannoh systematically dismantles Shohoku's offense . The cocky Sakuragi is benched, an infuriated Akagi starts doubting himself, and the players look completely outmatched . As the Sannoh lead stretches to an impossible 24 points, the audience begins to leave, conceding the game to the champions .
But in the face of absolute defeat, Coach Anzai hasn't given up. He begins priming the frustrated Sakuragi on the sidelines, giving him a single, crucial mission: get rebounds and help Shohoku get back in the game . This volume is a masterclass in tension, showcasing the despair of a team on the verge of collapse and planting the seeds for what could be the greatest comeback in sports manga history .
