章節 8: After Game
Shin's daily routine after returning home is to prepare the bath. In his new life, Shin took a quick shower in the morning after exercising with his mother. As a Japanese person in this life, he got to know the charm of taking a soak in a bathtub and hot springs.
Shin would heat the water, fill the tub, clean his body before soaking himself in the hot water to wash away all his tiredness from the day. By the time he was out of his bath, his mother would return home from work.
Shin and his mother talked about their day for a while doing some mother-son bonding.
The next item on his list was to do his homework and revise the material taught in class. SHin was never overwhelmed with studies because he studied every day and didn't material pile up, as expected of the routine lover.
While he was doing his homework, his father would return home and hop into the bath.
Unlike Shin and his father, who preferred their baths just after coming home, SHin's mother took one just before going to sleep.
Shin would then set the table, and the Yukimura family proceeded to eat on the dining table away from the T.V. They liked to talk to each other during the meal, and it was a good family bonding time.
Shin's parents weren't able to watch the game, so the topic for today was the game, Shin told them about his teammates, the opposite team, score, and who they will be going against on day three.
Dad: "We both are free on the day of the finals, do you think you, and your team can win all the way."
Shin: "Of course, our team this year is very skilled."
Mom: "Then we will come to see your match. It has been a while since I have seen my baby boy play."
Shin: "Mom! I am not a baby anymore. I am already twelve years old and would become thirteen next month."
Both of Shin's parents laughed, seeing SHin complaining and getting embarrassed.
After dinner, Shin's parents both went for their daily walk together to spend some time alone with each other.
Shin:"They sure do act all lovey-dovey, why couldn't they just make a younger sister from me to pamper."
Now the only task left was to watch Shoei's match video and see how far had Kiyoshi Teppei had developed.
While watching the video, Shin found two players on Shoei who were any good; Kiyoshi Teppei who played as the center, and Nakamura Taichi, who played at the power forward, both were second years.
The rest of the team was not useless, but neither were they anything special.
All of them had above average height and skill, but that was all.
Nakamura Taichi was fast and had sharp movements. He was capable of leaving behind his mark with ease, his sharp movements, and skill were more than enough to handle most of any tricky situations.
Unlike Aone who balanced between offense and defense, Nakamura Taichi was an all offensive player and left defense to Kiyoshi Teppei, and his team.
Now coming to their ace and most skilled player, future uncrowned king; Kiyoshi Teppei.
Kiyoshi is a powerful center with great technical skills. If he was to be put another way, Kiyoshi was an efficient player with very less useless movement n his moves. He was quick under the post with a great sense of timing for jumping for rebounds.
He was the same height as Aone, standing at 184 cm tall, but Kiyoshi Teppei was more agile and more powerful than Aone.
Shin knew that in the future, Kiyoshi'sm larger hands would provide more control in deciding plays in the paint, but he also knew that if he trained his speed and explosiveness more, he would be able to hinder Kiyoshi's 'impossible to predict plays'.
Shin: "Tomorrow, Teiko would be playing, but I don't think I would be able to go watch, the stadium is far away and the coach wouldn't take any students. Well, at least I will have the video of their game."
Shin closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep
What SHin didn't know was that he was not the only one reviewing others; Teiko, SHoei, and other schools were analyzing the game of champions
Being a reigning champion or even a well- know team meant that there was a lot of data about you available, and people would try to make strategies to defeat with each game you play.
From all other team's perspectives, this year's Yoyogoi was powerful; Otsubo Taisuke and Aone Takanobu had gained a lot of height and could easily muscle out most of their peers. Ishid Hideki, while not a particularly athletic player, had solid basic skills, and experience.
Then there was Mibuchi Reo, even though none of them knew about his 'special' shooting style, even without them he was a national level player and a terrifying shooter.
And last was the new rookie, Yukimura SHin. Even though it was only one game, most of them saw his performance for what it was, exceptional. Experienced coaches from middle schools and high schools, who were looking to recruit talented third-years. saw how he cripple Iwatobi's teamwork and scoring ability.
But what shocked them was the last five minutes in which he used one pattern and was still able to score every single time. They didn't even know how to describe that.
Most people switched between moves so that they could trick the defense, but how do you define a player who was able t score using a single move repeatedly and continuously.
