Why did the C position of the movie version of "Slam Dunk" be replaced by Sakuragi to Miyagi?

Mianachi C position
The answer is - for money! [A flash of inspiration]
As we all know, the prototype of Sakuragi Hanamichi is the big insect Rodman! But the author has always denied this statement! Forehead! As tough as a domestic sports brand! [I want to be quiet]

Why does the author deny it? Because the image of Rodman in the Big Bug is too alternative in Japan and internationally. Although they have many long-term basketball fans, they hate Rodman's exaggerated performance art more, especially considering the parents' mentality. If the high-profile promotional protagonist of "Slam Dunk" is based on Rodman, it may even be reported and banned by some parents!


So why is the C position changed to Miyagi instead of Rukawa Kaede, which more people like?
Because the NBA scoreback is now in decline! With the departure of Jordan and the four major points guards, the NBA's guards represented by Curry are now rising! If the big movie "Slam Dunk" wants to become a long-term movie IP in the future, it is the only choice to convert it into a goal-handed defender Miyagi who is closer to the public's physical conditions and imagination!
