THE PREVIOUS BASKETBALL TEAM; I FINALLY HAVE A GOOD TEAM TO COACH

Alright miss Fukazawa what do you think we should start off with today? Asked Seiji. Well for one, I would advise that you guys start off with a thirty minute run around the soccer field to warm up said Nanaho. Come on, nobody wants to sweat so early into training save that until the end said Jirou. I think that's a great idea, you heard the coach let's go said Seiji as he lead the way. And that should about do it said Nanaho as she stopped the timer.

Wow, I haven't felt so alive at the start of training said Hiroki as he stretched. Yes, you're right Hiroki, this is just what we needed said Yukio. Before diving into our training we should have been running sooner thanks Fukazawa, my team really needed a wake up call said Seiji. It's finally over and I'm sweating said Jirou as he breathe heavily. Hey Jirou said a girl as she ran up to him.

Here you go drink up. Thanks Tomoe, I really appreciate it said Jirou.

Whose that girl? Asked Nanaho curiously. That's Tomoe Yukimura she's a first year just like you and she's Jirou's girlfriend said Yukio. Tomoe don't you have homework or something to do quit wasting time after school to take care of this punk said Hiroki. But he's my boyfriend so I have to be here for him every step of the way said Tomoe. Whatever, just make sure that you're not falling behind. Also forgot to mention She's also Hiroki's younger sister said Yukio. Well, at least that explains his behavior said Nanaho to herself.

Come on move quickly, quit holding up the line!! Shouted Seiji. Yes captain!! Shouted everyone. Takahiro passed the basketball to Yukio and he scored a layup. Jirou passes the basketball to Hayato then Hayato scored a flashy layup. Seiji passes the basketball to Hiroki and Hiroki scores a layup. Junpei passes the basketball to another player and he scored a layup. Wow, they move so in sync and so fast at that, none of them missed a shot at all said Nanaho surprised.

After the layup session all of them did defensive slides for half and hour and then they shoot around for the rest of practice. Alright everyone take a five minute break said Seiji. So far you've been helpful with your training regiment Nanaho I'm glad that you chose Toshigawa even if it was blind luck for us said the Captain. No, if anything I was the one who lucked out you guys are amazing said Nanaho.

Well, save your praises for after we play a full court game. Come Yukio you and I will be choosing the teams, I will give you first pick just to be fair. If you say so brother but it's going to cost you because I choose a Hiroki said Yukio. It was a no-brainer that you'd choose him but that's okay. I'll go with the first year Hayato. He has Hayato then I'll need someone to guard him said Yukio to himself. I want Jirou on my team, you'll be playing point guard said Yukio.

alright then I choose Junpei to be on my team. My next choice is Takahiro said Yukio. And I choose Akira which means that Marube will be on your team. So then let's get started, could you referee the match Nanaho? Asked the captain. Yes of course said Nanaho as she took up the whistle and held the ball in the center of the court. Yukio and Seiji faced each other anticipating when the ball will be thrown up. As soon as Nanaho blew the whistle and the ball was in the air, both Seiji and Yukio jumped however Seiji easily won the tip off.

Hayato caught the ball and immediately started dribbling it up court. Jirou stepped to guard him however, Hayato crossed throw his leg and blew right pass him. Takahiro then attempted to slow him down so he quickly made a pass to Junpei who scored a layup. Nice one kid said Seiji as he gave Hayato a high five. On the next possession Jirou dribbled the ball up court and made a pass to Hiroki who was guarded by Seiji . I thought you were going to mark your younger brother said Hiroki. We both know that no one on the team is capable of guarding you but me said Seiji.

That's true but you shouldn't underestimate Yukio either said Hiroki as he passed the ball to Yukio. Junpei started guarding him on the wing however he spun out of the defense and went for a layup however Seiji blocked him. Hayato who was in the paint tipped the ball to a wide open Hiroki who shot a three pointer that swishes. Nice one Hiroki said Takahiro. You shouldn't take your eyes off me Seiji or you'll pay dearly said Hiroki as he got back on defense. Challenge accepted I won't loose said Seiji as he smiled.

Hayato dribbled the ball up court and Jirou met him near the half line. Out of nowhere Seiji sets a screen for him and he utilized it and dribbled to the three point line where he shot a three pointer that swishes. Right back at ya Hiroki said Hayato as he went back on defense. Damn this first year will be a pain to guard said Jirou. If that's the case then he's is exactly what we have been missing and we'll need him for the upcoming season said Yukio.

On the next possession Takahiro scored a backboard shot. Immediately after Seiji slam dunks the basketball on a fast break. Yukio responded with a slam dunk of his own. Hayato passes the ball to Honda who swing the ball to Junpei on the wing who swishes a two pointer. Jirou Swifty made a run to the other side of the court as Takahiro made a long pass to him, allowing him to score a wide open layup. Seiji pulls up and shoots a two pointer that swishes. Hiroki crosses Seiji and stepped back to shoot a three pointer which Seiji tried to block however the ball swishes.

Coming off an off ball screen, Junpei passes to Rantaro who scored a layup. Seiji blocked Yukio as he attempted a dunk. Hayato shoots and swishes a wide open three pointer. Hiroki pulls up for a mid ranged shot that swishes. Yukio blocks Junpei on the next play. He then manages to score a layup. Wow, I'm at a lost for words, this team of ten is split up into five and they all are operating so in sync, they hardly wasted any possessions at all, there are a team that has what it takes to make it to the inter high said Nanaho to herself in amazement of what she's witnessing.
