Episode 1 synopsis is out! (spoiler alert)
Every city has its own story, some are bright and lively, while others are dark and mysterious, just like this place. With the 13th Lane marking their boundaries, this is where two neighbouring schools, DongShang and LanDi are located. Since a long time ago, this two schools have been clearly set apart and all of their differences and arguments are solved at the basketball court between both schools. This court is known to everyone as the 13th Lane Street Basketball Court!
One fine morning at a particular temple, a girl dressed in white appeared out of a sudden bringing with her a group of tough men decked in black suits. Just one look and everyone will know that they belong to the triad. This aroused the surprise of the people in the temple and they rushed to hide in the corner faraway from these people, only to witness the girl dressed in white bringing her men to pray respectfully for a good divination. It was an especially good divination and the entire group started cheering loudly exclaiming, "Long live DongShang! DongShang, 10years champions! Go DongShang! Go! Go!" The girl dressed in white is actually Yi Sheng Xue (Hebe), who is a humongous fan of DongShang's Trio, although she knows nothing about street basketball. She's also the only daughter of Yi Quan Wu, known to most as Wu Ye, the owner of 13th Street.
Standing next to her is Jin ZiCong (LeeWei) who is ShengXue's bodyguard, constantly by her side protecting her as it is what he regard as his mission for life. He is also ShengXue's childhood playmate and an orphan adopted by Wu Ye. DongShang's Trio is a three man group, chosen by DongShang's yearly voting campaign. Their main aim is to solve any problems, big or small, in DongShang and they have always received every DongShang students' utmost respect. LanDi and DongShang have been carrying out this 3versus3 street basketball competition every year, and the winner of the competition gets to use the 13th Lane Street Basketball Court. For nine consecutive years, DongShang's Trio have been representing DongShang in fighting for this "sacred place" which an outlet of freedom for the students. Seeing that this is DongShang's tenth year of competition, Yi ShengXue specially made a trip down to pray, asking the gods to bless DongShang in winning their tenth championship. Now that she lucked on a good divination, she's happily returning back to watch this yearly street basketball competition.
At the same time, Shen RuoHe(Mike) just helped his father, Shen GuoSen(not sure of his name), to finish up a internal business deal. He was driving his sportscar in the direction of the 13th Lane Street Basketball Court, and just at this particular road junction, he almost knocked down ShengXue, who was bringing her group of men, running home. ZiCong, seeing that ShengXue almost got run down by a car, immediately got the rest of them to surround the car, forcing RuoHe who was in the car to get down. In the end, it was ShengXue who stopped ZiCong, allowing RuoHe to drive off and ZiCong was puzzled by her letting him off. It turns out that ShengXue recognised this extremely rude guy as Shen RuoHe, who's the leader of Trio, representing DongShang in the street basketball competition at the 13th Lane Street Basketball Court. This very day is the big day of the competition and so she decides not to go after her personal grudge with him. However at this very moment, one of her men, AhJia, was not aware of this fact (that RuoHe's the leader of Trio) and thus he slashed RuoHe's car tyre to teach him a lesson. Another of ShengXue's men, RunYi had also slashed RuoHe's shoe bag and he didn't dare to tell ShengXue this. The other two members of Trio, Xu ZheKai and Zhou BiShou have already arrived at the court waiting, and are wondering why hasn't RuoHe, who is normally very punctual, arrived. This is because RuoHe is currently facing a punctured tyre and as he has to rush for the match, he has no choice but to run to the court with his shoebag. However, being too anxious about getting there on time, he didn't realise that the shoes he needed for the competition fell out of the hole in his shoebag. As the match is about to start, ShengXue asks ZiCong to set up a television in the backyard so that they can watch the match and cheer for DongShang at the same time. They were making so much noise cheering that ShengXue's father, Yi Quan Wu, who was in the midst of meditating got disrupted and he rushed out to stop ShengXue from cheering. Everyone immediately hushed up upon the arrival of Wu Ye, and no one dared to even breathe loudly.
