YOUR PLAY STYLE REMINDS ME SO MUCH OF MY OLDER BROTHER

Okay, let's get started with training, we'll be warming up first then you'll be playing four on four with the same team members as last time said Nanaho. Okay, you heard our coach, let's get started with training said Yukio. Toshigawa!! Fight!!! Fight!!Fight!! Shouted the whole team while they jogged around the court.

After finishing their light jog they stretched then started to warm up. They lined up into two line to work on a layup drill led by Yukio. Yukio passed the basketball to Takahiro and Takahiro shoots a layup that swishes. Next up in the line, Shino passed the ball to Noboru and he catches the ball and scored a layup.

Hayato passes the ball to Liam who slam dunks the basketball. And Tetsuo passed the ball to Makoto who scored a layup. After repeatedly practicing layups the team moved on to shooting around. After stretching once more the four on four practice kicked off with Hayato's team in the possession. Makoto steps to guard him and Hayato immediately called for a screen and he quickly utilized it and drove to the rim.

As he was about to shoot a layup Yukio jumped into the air to block him. Hayato then threw a lob in midair to Liam who caught it and dunked the basketball. That's a great way to start training , way to go Liam!! Shouted Nanaho.

Makoto dribbles the ball up court and was guarded by Makoto. Makoto then carefully looked around weighing his options. He then passed the ball to Shino who took a triple threat position. Noboru then stepped to guard Shino however the ball was quickly passed to Yukio in the post where he was guard by Liam.

Yukio then dribbled the ball out of the paint in attempts to draw Liam further away from the rim however, Liam who didn't wanted to give up his position stayed in the paint so Yukio shot a two pointer that swishes. Upon coming down once more Hayato signals for a screen from Takahiro then he drove to the rim where he was cut off by Tetsuo. He then spun around and passed the ball to Takahiro who shoots a two pointer over Makoto that swishes.

On the next possession the ball was passed to Tetsuo who crossed between his leg and got by Takahiro. he then attempted a layup over Liam but then he passed the ball to Yukio who dunks it with one hand. Hayato signals a screen from Takahiro and then pulled up for a three pointer that bounced out of the rim however, Liam caught the ball in mid air and slammed it into the rim. wow, the practice that they go through is so intense said a girl impressed. Yes, they'll definitely reach far in the inter high and I'll be there to cheer them on said Harumi.

They are not half bad, but it will take more than what I've seen from them to compete at the inter high level said Tomoe to herself with no interest in the game. After Yukio set a screen for Tetsuo, Makoto made a precise pass to Tetsuo who assumed a triple threat position while being guarded by Takahiro. Tetsuo then dribbled between his leg and then faked a drive that caught Takahiro off guard. He then stepped back and attempted to shoot a three pointer and simultaneously Takahiro recovered and jumped into the air to block the ball however, due to the separation from the two of them the ball ended up swishing.

nice shot Tetsuo said Yukio as he prepared a high five. Tetsuo then replied "Yes, Captain". What? The way that he shoot the ball just now, he looked just like Hiroki said Tomoe to herself shocked as she reminisced the past. In her memories, that took place in junior high, her older brother Hiroki Yukimura played small forward and on ever possession of the imagery burnt into her mind Hiroki would always step back and had a special hand placement on the ball making impossible for anyone to block him and he would always score his shot.

Interested in the similarities between Tetsuo and her older brother, Tomoe puts down her book and started to observe the match. After receiving a pass from Hayato Liam dunked the basketball. before the defense was to be set Makoto made a long pass to Yukio who took his two steps and dunked the basketball. on the next possession Takahiro scored a floater. And for the remainder of training every three point shot that Tetsuo took caused Tomoe to be hit with nostalgia and she stared blankly at Tetsuo with a slight blush of amazement.

After training had ended the boys made their way to the changing room while Tomoe and Nanaho sat in silence waiting on them. Hey Tomoe, how are you holding up, since that incident? Asked Nanaho in a low tone concerned. I wish that I could have sugar coated how I felt over these couple of months but I can't. I was getting really tired of these rumors that are falsely accusing me of what happened with Jirou and it had really affected me to the point where I felt like dying or to quit school altogether.

But then, I met a Tetsuo who's my junior who I tried to push away at first but then I started realizing that he was not like everyone else and he's really trying to help me get over my past trauma. I may have only known him for a couple of days but when I'm with him it's the happiest I've ever been since my brother was sent to jail said Tomoe. Is that a confession that she likes Tetsuo or am I looking too much into it?Nanaho asked herself with an awkward laugh.

Hey, Hayato I get that you are the point guard for our team and all , but cut me some slacks man you barely passed me the ball today and that's why I scored zero points said Noboru frustratedly. On every possession that I gave you the ball you either pass it, get blocked or got the ball stolen by Makoto said Hayato. That's bull crap and you know it all the balls where getting pass to Liam.

Sometimes I really wonder what goes through that brain of yours, obviously Liam is the leading scorer so ninety percent of the time he'll get the ball are you an idiot or something? Asked Makoto. What who are you calling an idiot? Asked Noboru pissed.

Today was really great Liam, you're improving at a quick rate and that's what we need for the interhigh said Yukio with a smile.Thank you, I'll do my best when that time comes said Liam. After everyone changed back into their uniform the team made their way to the train station.
