## Summary

During the year 1971, the city of California witnessed the birth of Lamar Dickerson. During the 1971-72 California Boys' Basketball Season, their first game was going to take place. As the game was going, Pernell performed a "glove" move on his opponent. The "glove" move was popularized by NBA star Gary Payton. During the game, Pernell was hit by a flagrant foul. The crowd reacted by asking Pernell if he was OK. But there was a contrasting side of the situation. While everyone was wondering what happened to Pernell, Morgan was smiling in an evil way. Pernell witnessed it, but Morgan would continue to laugh, ultimately smiling at the fouled Pernell. After Pernell shot his foul shots, the first half would come to a conclusion with Pernell outing with 27 points. Before the start of the second half, the commentators asked Pernell how he would end the game. Pernell replied to the commentator saying: "Umm I'm just gonna care about my supporters and family, because honestly, I'm receiving quite the hate." At the beginning of the second half, Pernell would suffer an injury which would prevent him from playing the rest of the game. Pernell was arrogant and asked the coach if he could finish the game, but coach told him no and that "we don't like the way you look". 4 years later, Morgan and Lamar's relationship became even closer. 4 years earlier, Morgan recalled calling Lamar a cute baby while Lamar's parents praised the fact that Morgan was "that Beautiful Morgan girl from the school." However, currently, Lamar mentions to Morgan that once he gets older, he and Morgan would be together. At the same time, Pernell fully recovered at the hospital. Doctors let him see the TV broadcasting from the time he was injured. The broadcast said that California High School had lost 11 games straight. Hearing the news, Pernell became enraged. Pernell rushed out of the doctor's bed into the gym. At the gym, coach asked Pernell why he was training more than usual. Pernell told his coach "TO HELL WITH LOSING 11 STRAIGHT!". Coach responded by telling Pernell that if he used swear words, he would be meeting with the principal. After 4 years passed by California High School would enter the national championship. Lamar and Morgan were in the crowd of this game. Morgan tells Lamar not to get fooled by Pernell's basketball but to rather consider him as the annoying brown kid who "try-hards" for his crush. Lamar escalated the situation in an overprotective matter. Saying that if Pernell annoyed Morgan, he would pay for it violently. At the end of the game, Pernell ended up with at least 40 points to conclude the championship win. After the win, Pernell's coach would apologize telling Pernell that he was *"the best kid he had ever coached."* Also, that he was a 'good kid. After hearing this, Pernell responded by telling his coach that he never found love. Therefore, his coach assessed the situation by telling him that you don't always have to date your crush and that you should date a girl who loves you more. At Osaka, Yokoshima and Jiraya were helping Tadashi figure out his marriage situation with Nanako. Tadashi tells Yokoshima and Jiraya that not only would Nanako be a beautiful wife, he also believed that it would be great for her to carry on the family's martial arts tradition. As she was very talented in martial arts. Tadashi also mentioned that if they had a male child, they would name him Yoshi. Also, he mentioned that if he had a female child, they would name her Meizo.
