Chapter 136 - End Of Day-One (1/2)

[

A/N:

To the readers who are thinking that Shun was tired after just '20 minutes'.

Do you really think that in a sports club, people enter the gym and start playing? The answer is NO! I mentioned in the previous chapters that this was Shun's first day on a new workout menu.

Playing is much easier than a physical workout. That is why people are reluctant to do it.

I don't know how many of you have gone to a gym, but when my trainer changed my workout menu, I was fine for the duration of the workout, but the moment I sat for a while after the workout, my body felt really weak.

Shun didn't use his body for just twenty minutes!

Shun had to do the actual physical training before the game. That was the real reason he was tired. Unlike the reader, an author has to think of the things that he has written before.

And, we have TWO GoM LvL players, FIVE Haizaki/Himuro LvL players, and THREE Uncrowned King LvL players, who all have played at an international level, and are four years older than Shun.

Do you understand what four years represent in a young player's life?

I can't just forget what I have written and start anew in every chapter.

Let's continue to the chapter, shall we?

Shun took a shower for after practice and went to the cafeteria to have lunch.

As he went down to the cafeteria, he thought.

Shun: 'We still have the classroom session, and then I have to watch the game video.

It is a good thing that I asked for a copy, and can watch it as long as I like it in my room.'

-*-*-*-

After eating and resting, Shun and the rest of the players went to a classroom to study a little.

In the classroom, Albert and Sarah put up a college game video, and they analyzed the game in its entirety.

They studied the pass routine, mistakes players made, and the things that they did correctly.

They picked both teams' defensive strategies, studied them, and learned about their weaknesses and strengths.

Shun studied every day for more than an hour, so it wasn't difficult for him to concentrate on what Albert and Sarah were saying. And, he ended up learning a little.

Shun: 'Hmm.... there were a couple of good pass routines. Maybe, I should modify them a little so that they would work back home.'

After studying, Shun went to sleep for two hours, woke up, and went down to retrieve today's practice.

He asked around the way to the AV room and made his way to the room.

Shun looked at the door sign and said.

Shun: ”Okay, this is it.”

Shun pushed the door open, and it had a lot of computer screens and one of the FIBA personnel sitting in there.

Shun approached him and asked.

Shun: ”Hello, can you give me a copy of today's Division-One practice?”

The FIBA personnel looked at Shun and said.

FIBA Personnel: ”Oh yeah, Coach Sarah told me to get a copy ready for a player. Are you from Division-One?”

Shun smiled and nodded. The FIBA personnel opened a drawer, retrieved a CD, and handed it to Shun.

Shun: ”Thanks.”

Ming entered Shun and his room, he had just returned from the AV room after seeing the footage.

The players could see the footage in the room, and Ming was one of them. He watched the parts he wanted to see and then left the room.

As he entered his room, he thought.

Ming: 'All of these guys are so unique. The possibilities for pass routines and attack strategies increase by a lot. Heh, this is good stuff.'

Ming stretched his arms as he entered the room, and he saw Shun sitting in front of his study table, watching something on his laptop.

Ming called out to Shun.

Ming: ”Hey, Shun. What are you watching?”

Ming: ”What are you watching?”

Ming looked at the screen and recognized the video as Division-One practice.

Ming: 'He got a copy?'

Ming once again called out to Shun.

Ming: ”Shun?”
