Bookroo's summary
Julian Pryce, once a basketball star, faces a new challenge after moving to a team where the coach's son, Paul, dominates the court. With his dreams benched, Julian must decide how far he'll go to play again. As tensions rise, an unexpected incident leaves Paul in the hospital. Did Julian's desperation lead to this? Dive into a world of sports rivalry, family dynamics, and the quest for redemption.
From the publisher
The exciting sequel to Slam Dunk! Julian Pryce was once the star center of the Tornadoes. But when he joins a new team after his family moves, he suddenly finds himself the star benchwarmer. It turns out the Warriors already have a starting center, Paul Boyd, who has no intention of sharing the court with Julian. The coach is no help, either, for one simple reason: Paul is his son! Now Julian may have to take drastic measures if he’s going to get back into the game. . . but is he to blame when Paul winds up in the hospital?
