Ep. 32: Genius Hanamichi! Certain Death Dunk
Aired on July 16, 1994

Miuradai begins to take control of the match, but Nato shifts his defensive focus to block Rukawa rather than Sakuragi. Rukawa takes advantage of this specific weakness to turn the tide of the game. Consequently, the momentum shifts in favor of Shohoku as they capitalize on the defensive adjustment made by their opponents during the intense contest.
