The Ryonan game is running out of time in this Slam Dunk continuation. VIZ places Shohoku behind with little room left to recover, so this is a purchase for readers already invested in the practice match. Keep the preceding Ryonan books nearby. A late-game volume offers immediate pressure, but that is a poor substitute for knowing how the teams reached it; this is not an introductory sampler of the cast.

Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.

VIZ's description connects Sakuragi's shot block to a basket by Rukawa. That sequence gives the pairing a practical value independent of whether the players would prefer individual credit: stopping an opponent creates a chance someone else must finish. The book therefore belongs in a purchase built around the whole encounter, rather than a search for a single player's isolated triumph. With the clock limiting every chance, possession matters as much as personality. The attractive unit is the play shared between them, and the surrounding game makes that unit legible.
