Yukio passes the basketball to Tetsuo and started playing defense.Tetsuo immediately passes the basketball to Shino and then he goes into the post where Yukio plays defense on him. Pass me the ball said Tetsuo as Shino
passes the ball to him.Tetsuo then shoots a fade away post shot that swishes. How did he score from that position, this kid... Said Yukio intrigued.
That's Tetsuo right? Asked a girl. Yes it is him.
Nice shot Kawaguchi, my name is Harumi Kurosawa from class 1H we can hang out sometime shouted Harumi. Yes, nice shot that was amazing! Shouted another girl from Harumi's class. Keep up the good work said another.
Who the hell are those girls? And why are they cheering for Tetsuo and not me? Asked Noboru. Looks like Tetsuo got himself some fans said Hayato. Yeah, looks like the match we played yesterday circulated throughout the whole school already said Takahiro. Hayato passes the basketball to Noboru and started playing defense. Just wait and see , I'm going to leave these girls speechless said Noboru as he dribbles to the hoop.
Hayato then intercepts and steals the basketball. Crap, you ruined my moment Hayato. Hayato then passes to Takahiro and Shino steps to guard him. He's way bigger than me, how will I stop him? Shino Asked himself.
Takahiro fakes a shot which made Shino jump. He then drives to the hoops and goes up for a layup. Tetsuo who was under the basket attempted to block. However in mid air Takahiro passes a lob to Yukio and Yukio catches it and dunk. As the ball bounces on the floor the girls spectating the game started screaming. Hamaguchi- senpai you're so cool, nice slam dunk said a girl.
Keep it up captain, I'm rooting for you. Even Yukio is getting cheered on, this sucks said Noboru to himself frustrated. Tetsuo passes the basketball to Yukio and played defense however,Yukio passes the basketball to Hayato who shoots a three pointer that swishes. What do you think of that shot ladies? Said Hayato to himself as he looked up at the girls.
Who is that guy? Asked a girl. I don't know, his picture wasn't in the newspaper. Yeah so it seems, oh well.
He's not important, just ignore him said one of the girls bluntly. For some reason I feel offended by that said Hayato to himself. Yukio passes the basketball to Takahiro and Takahiro scores a layup. Hayato passes the basketball to Yukio and Yukio passes the basketball to Takahiro who scores another layup.
We can't win, they are too good said Shino to himself.
They are taking advantage of your inexperience, it's not like we can't win, it's just that they have the edge in terms of strategy said Tetsuo. Hayato passes the basketball to Yukio and Tetsuo steps up to guard him. A one on one with Tetsuo so soon, let's see what you've got freshmen said Yukio as he drives .Tetsuo manages to catch up to Yukio and Yukio then spins off of him and goes for a layup.
Tetsuo then jumps and blocks the layup. Tetsuo sure can jump, if I'm not careful I will not score a thing said Yukio to himself. Tetsuo passes the basketball to Noboru and Shino sets a screen for Tetsuo who runs to the ball. Noboru passes the basketball to Tetsuo and Tetsuo shoots a three pointer that swishes.
Amazing, nice shot Kawaguchi! Shouted Harumi.
Yeah, nice shot said another girl. Noboru scores a layup to put team Tetsuo a point closer to Yukio's team. Tetsuo attempted to layup the ball but was blocked by Yukio.
Yukio dunks the basketball once more and Hayato scores a layup.
Tetsuo steals the ball from Hayato and shoots a three pointer that swishes. I'm finally here guys , class was surprisingly boring today, I couldn't wait for it to…. Wait who gave you permission to play games? Asked Nanaho angrily. The captain did said Noboru quickly as he pointed. He didn't even hesitated , what a snitch said both Hayato and Takahiro to themselves.
I just thought that we could occupy our time with a friendly three on three until you were ready said Yukio.
I see, well as long as you can do my training regiments without complaining then I see no problem said Nanaho.
Why did they stop, come on Tetsuo I want to see you play some more!! Shouted Harumi. Yeah please you're so cool said another girl. Shut the hell up and get outta here can't you see that we are busy said Noboru.
How rude, how dare you talk to me like that pipsqueak said a girl. I dare you to come down here and say that to me with those freckles on your face said Noboru. How could you say such a thing about her , that's mean said another girl. Just shut up and... Before he could finish his statement Nanaho punches him on his shoulders. Ouch!! What was that for? Just you wait until training starts you'll wish you didn't say that to a lady said Nanaho with a dark look on her face.
I'm screwed , this girl is going to kill me for sure said Noboru as he gulped. That was quite the warm up said Yukio as he wiped the sweat from his body. Yukio- senpai I love you please go out with me said a girl in her second year. Nanaho who got angry because of the girl's words threw a basketball at them. Hey that hurt, why did you do that? Asked the girl. I'm going to kindly ask you to leave unless you want to play dodge the basketball for the rest of the day said Nanaho with a blank and dark expression.
The girls who were startled got scared and ran away. And she punched me for setting them straight, serves them right said Noboru as he laughed. Alright so after our match against Yokonan the other day I had determined what each and everyone of you need to work on.
I'll start with Shino, you performed admirable despite not knowing much about the game, you didn't travel or carry in the game and your passing wasn't as precise but they were decent enough. Your defense wasn't half bad and you were even able to score some points. From here on out you'll be working on shooting free throws, making layups and scoring mid range shots and also the usual like dribbling and passing.
Next will be Noboru, you have a great understanding of your role on this team, you are a great runner and you are good at making layups in transition. However, you lack the necessary endurance to keep up in a high paced game and was unable to play when we needed you the most. So, I prepared a training regiment designed specifically for you. With the approval of the track Coach, you are now able to spend an hour after school doing stamina training with the girl's track team said Nanaho.
What no way!! I will not be training with no girl said Noboru. Well, the boy's track team training is more rigorous so if you want to do it , I'll make the necessary arrangements said Nanaho in a serious tone. I'll stick with the girl's training. After you've finished stamina training you will be working on your shooting and practicing you're free throws and going back to dribbling and passing.
Takahiro, Yukio and Hayato you guys are good and I see no problem with you, so you guys will be sticking to the previous training said Nanaho. Sweet we can rest easy then said Hayato. And lastly Tetsuo , you are really good at everything and there is no problem or issue with your play style. However, you shoot way more than you drive, you should try and change that up to be less predictable.
Understood said Tetsuo.
