Chapitre 3: DEFENSE, THE BASIC FUNDAMENTAL OF BASKETBALL
Even in the evening the sound of the basketball bouncing was still heard by Shino, as he entered the gym he was shocked to see that Yukio was still training.
Yukio shot a two pointer and it swishes. Upon scoring that shot he stopped due to fatigue and took some heavy breaths, wiping his sweat with his shirt. Whoa, he's amazing, he has been training since morning that's crazy, he's so dedicated Shino said to himself.
I see that you're finally here go get ready said Yukio. I will right away. Okay so now that you have changed I want to ask you something, do you have any experience in playing basketball?
um I've never played a basketball match before, I have been playing in middle school and junior high school and I haven't even got the chance to play a match against any school. I didn't even got a jersey when match time came around.
Huh, so you have no experience or at least the basics down? Asked Yukio. Well no, I'm practically a novice to the sport. The tournament is in six months, will I be able to train him to at least be average in time? I mean it's not like I have much of a choice since me and Takahiro are the only members said Yukio to himself.
I know what you're thinking, you are thinking that I'll be a burden to the team. However, I love basketball so I'll work hard to meet your expectations, I know that I don't have any talent for the sport but please help me develop pleaded Shino with tears in his eyes.
Okay , okay I understand no need to get all emotional on me so wipe your tears. Shino sniffed and wiped the tears from his eyes then he nodded and shouted yes upperclassman.
I want you to do some defensive slides so watch carefully you have to bend your leg in a squat position and move side to side like a crab, anticipate and watch the person your guarding and that's all there is to it said Yukio as he demonstrated the defensive slide. That's a great analogy, I think I get it.
So bend in a squat, move side to side like a crab and anticipate what the opposition will do next. You're a fast learner said Yukio praising Shino. No, it's just that you're the first person to every spend time helping me learn said Shino. Oh that's too bad, I think you'd be a great player if you were to get the proper coaching. You really think so? Asked Shino surprised and touched by Yukio's words. Of course, you'll get there one day. Okay so now that you got the gist of it, now I want you to guard me. Huh!bu..but I just started said Shino fearfully.
Just remember what I've shown you and you'll be fine. ok I'll give it a try. are you ready to guard me? just stay calm and remember what he said anticipate his movements Shino said to himself.
Yukio started dribbling the basketball and said here I come. He crosses the basketball through his legs and tried to get by Shino. I won't let you pass said Shino as he cuts off Yukio to his surprise. not bad however , let's see how you handle this said Yukio as he faked a shot.
Shino jumped however he soon realized that it was a fake. what? A fake!! Said Shino shocked. Yukio then stepped pass Shino and scored a layup which swishes.
Not bad it's your first time playing but you anticipate my moves and almost stopped me. However, there is always room for improvement. It's your first day after all said Yukio. That's all I'll be teaching for today .
what! That was only two minutes how can we be done already . Well you see, I have been training since this morning and my body is aching said Yukio as his legs started shaking. Oh yeah that's right, he has been on the court for a longtime .
I want you research more about basketball when you get home, apart from training you should learn the basic rules of basketball said Yukio in which shino agreed and they both cleaned up before leaving.
Big brother are you awake? Asked Usagi as she knocked on Tetsuo's door. yes I am he responded. Alright then I'm coming in she said as she opened the door and entered.
If you don't mind can I sleep with you tonight? Sure, but I'm going to do some research and make some preparations for school tomorrow so you can go ahead and sleep first. Usagi nodded as she place her favorite pillow and Tetsuo's bed and lie down.
There was a time when you use to comfort me by telling me stories when I had a hard time sleeping as a child, time sure has passed. Indeed, feels like it was yesterday.
You always protected me back then and even now and despite all the dangers and threats of loosing your life you would risk it all to make sure I'm safe and happy . You practically put my safety over your own which is what I love about you Tetsuo. You are the embodiment of the big brother every girl wants. I want you to stay by my side forever don't ever leave me okay said Usagi as she fell asleep and snored lowly.
Tetsuo covered her up with a blanket and fixed her hair.
I don't care what happens to me , as far as I can tell I'm already dead but you are the little life and anchor I have left in this world so I'll protect you at all cost, even with my own life.
Let's see, so I have gym class first thing tomorrow huh, let me go get my gym gear said Tetsuo as he accidentally knocked over a potrait on the ground and picked it up. I hope that you guys are happy where you are, mom and dad.
