Chương 53: MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING
Excuse me said Sachiko as she walked in and cleared her throat. Oh, you're the new vice president of the student council, Sachiko Takahashi right? Asked Nanaho. Yeah, that's me replied Sachiko. So what brings you here? Did you come to observe our training? Well I actually came here to discuss something important with Kawaguchi, it won't talk long or intervene with his training so do you mind if I borrow him for a bit? Asked Sachiko.
Not at all, go ahead. We are in the middle of practice, come back another time said Tetsuo with an emotionless look on his face. I see no problem with you leaving training for a couple of minutes so go ahead , Tetsuo time is ticking said Nanaho while she smiled menacingly. Tetsuo who didn't wanted to go sighed as he followed Sachiko outside.
Trying to play hard to get aren't we Tetsuo, serves you right said Noboru to himself as he smirked. What do you want? Asked Tetsuo. Well, I came here on behalf of the student council president, Hitomi Yoshida, she is asking you once more to become a member of the council said Sachiko . This again, I thought that I made myself clear the last time she asked, I don't want nothing to do with the student council or you and besides I'm sure all of you know that I play basketball now and I'm not going to give it up just to please her said Tetsuo in a blunt and calm voice.
But this school.... If that's all you came here to ask then I'm heading back to training said Tetsuo as he turns around and started walking away. Wait!! Shouted Sachiko which made Tetsuo stop. The student council helps the students solve issues and foster a better environment for learning , so I view it as more important than basketball, however, you might be thinking the same as it pertains to basketball. So I have a proposal, show me how to play the game, let me see how basketball looks like through your eyes and teach me everything there is to know. And if I find it fascinating, I'll stop asking you to join the student council . However, one day you'll also have to come to the council to see how we operate as well said Sachiko.
Fine, but be sure to listen carefully because I won't repeat myself said Tetsuo after he sighed. This is the first time I've ever had a proper conversation with him without being ignored that kind of makes me happy in a way said Sachiko as her cheeks turned bright red. Hayato passes the ball to Liam in the post where both Takahiro and Yukio double team him.
Remember Liam drop your hip advised Yukio. Liam then dropped lower and pounds the ball pushing both Yukio and Takahiro back he then spins off of them and slam dunks the basketball. You're a freaking monster, you know that said Noboru jealously. Yeah, you say that every time I dunk replied Liam. What's up with Tetsuo, it's not like him to go out of his way and do things like this for anyone said Shino to himself.
I didn't know that Tetsuo and the vice president were dating said Hayato. Yeah me either, I'm a bit surprised that he had a girlfriend with his dull personality said Takahiro. Quit your gossiping and get back to training, or do you all want to run with the track team today? Asked Nanaho as she stood behind the two of them. No thank you!! Shouted both Hayato and Takahiro startled.
Listen and watch carefully, this is a layup said Tetsuo as the shoots a layup that swishes. This is a free throw said
Tetsuo shoots a free throw that swishes. A player get to shoot these when someone make illegal contact with them and these only value one point. This is a three point shot said Tetsuo as he shoots a three pointer that swishes.
Tetsuo then catches the basketball and bounces it on the floor. This is what we call dribbling, we use it to move from point a to point b around the court and if we don't it's called traveling or carry. He then throws the ball on the backboard and grabs it out of the air. This is a rebound, it's basically collecting the ball after a missed shot.
And as you can see over there, my teammate is guarding each other, that is called defense. Those are the most basic movements and actions in basketball , any questions? Asked Tetsuo. No, I..... Understand. I didn't know that basketball was this complex and complicated, I thought is was a game where you throw a ball into a net said Sachiko to herself astonished by her findings.
Well if that's all I'm heading back to training . Wait, can you show me how to shoot? Asked Sachiko.Tetsuo then throws the basketball to Sachiko which startled her when she caught it. Show me how you'd shoot the ball. Okay I'll try. Sachiko goes into a weird shooting stance as she awkwardly tries to keep the ball upright to shoot. Tetsuo then walked over to her in order to correct her form.
your hands are all over the place relax said Tetsuo as he fixed her hand position on the ball. Straighten yourself there is no need to be limping over he said as he straightened her up. Alright now bend your knees for power and relax your shoulders he said as he goes behind Sachiko to fix her form once more. He so close said Sachiko to herself as she blushes.
Alright now, shoot the ball but in a single motion and remember to flick your wrist . y. Yes said Sachiko as she took a deep breath and shoots the ball , to her surprise it swishes. It went in, you're a good teacher Kawaguchi .
I'm going to resume my training if you want to stay and watch you can join those girls up there said Tetsuo as he joined back his training.
don't categorize me with those fan girls jerk said Sachiko to herself angrily. After the resumption of training Tetsuo passes the basketball to Yukio in the paint where Liam started guarding him . Yukio then dishes out the ball to Takahiro who used his strength and height advantage against Noboru to beat him to the rim.
Takahiro then goes up for a layup which Liam attempted to block. Takahiro then passes the ball out to Tetsuo who shoots a three pointer that swishes. Nice shot Tetsuo said Yukio. These chumps got nothing on us, even if they have Liam on their team said Takahiro. Let's keep this up and go all the way to the inter high said Yukio with enthusiasm.
I can see clearly now why Haruko loves basketball, it's not just about the sport but the people you train hard and play with and the time that you spend with each other , basketball is really fun said Sachiko as she walked off.
I guess I'll stop asking him to join the student council then, however this time I didn't leave empty handed because that brief moment we shared was more than just progress.
