When people concentrate on doing one thing, they cannot feel the passage of time.
For a whole morning, Wudao devoted himself to the practice of shooting and layups. At the beginning of Wudao's training, Anzai Zhengyi was still supervising, giving Wudao some advice on training, and even personally serving as a sparring partner for Wudao. However, after Wudao practiced for more than an hour, Anzai Zhengyi went to other places to guide other players in training.
In Anzai Zhengyi's opinion, there is nothing to be said about Wudao's layup and shooting posture. What Wudao needs to do now is to strengthen his muscle memory through continuous practice and improve his layup success rate and shooting accuracy. On this point, Anzai Zhengyi really can't give any advice.
It all depends on your self-awareness in martial arts and your own practice.
Wu Dao was completely absorbed in the training and had no distractions at all. His physical strength was rapidly depleted during the training. It was not until Anxi Zhengyi blew the whistle for assembly that Wu Dao suddenly stopped training and quickly lined up with his teammates.
After Anxi Zhengyi announced the end of the morning training and the team disbanded, Wudao dragged his tired body to the seat on the sidelines to rest. Wudao covered his head with a sweat towel and lowered his head to sit on the seat to rest. After the other players were dismissed, they packed up their things and left the stadium in twos and threes.
Wu Dao was the only one sitting in his seat, and he didn't talk to other teammates, seeming a little out of place.
"Hey, Wudao, are you tired? Why don't you go back?!" The players left the stadium one after another, and even coach Anzai Zhengyi left early after the game ended.
Before they knew it, only Jinguji Budou and Mitsui Hisashi, who had come to his side, were left in the huge stadium.
"Um."
"I'm really tired, let me take a rest."
Wudao raised his head, and under the black sweat towel, a pair of bright eyes glanced at Mitsui Shou, and then lowered his head again. Sweat gathered into a bean-sized drop on the tip of Wudao's nose, which could not bear the weight and fell to the bottom.
Even if the coach is not supervising, there is no slack in martial arts training.
"Budo, I also paid attention to your training just now. The amount of training is indeed very large."
"But no matter how tired you are, you have to have a good relationship with your teammates."
"Martial Arts, if the team wants to win, it's not enough to just play well."
Mitsui Shou suddenly said this to Wu Dao, which made Wu Dao a little confused. He looked up at Mitsui Shou in confusion. Wu Dao didn't know why Mitsui Shou suddenly said this.
"Don't worry about it. I just noticed that you don't seem to have much communication or contact with the other team members."
"Maybe you need to improve your relationship with your teammates. By the way, do you recognize all the members of the team now?"
Mitsui Shou met Wudao's gaze and sat down next to Wudao.
"..." After hearing this, Wudao finally understood what Mitsui Shou was talking to him. It turned out that Mitsui Shou felt that he was a little lonely now
However, it was Mitsui's reminder that made Wudao realize some of his own problems. Since he joined the basketball team, he had very little communication with other teammates. In the entire team, the person who communicated the most was Mitsui, and the second was the coach Anzai Zhengyi.
There are so many people in the team, and many of them don't talk to Wu Dao for more than three sentences. There are even many players whose names Wu Dao doesn't even know. Such a Wu Dao gives people the feeling that he is quite lonely, and it is no wonder that Mitsui Shou suddenly said such a thing at this time.
But Wu Dao himself is very clear about his own personality. He is not a lonely person, but for some reason, after coming to this world, he seems to be very reluctant to communicate with others. He used to be a social bull, but in this world, he is more like a social phobic.
This made Wu Dao's behavior very disconnected, sometimes he was enthusiastic but sometimes he was very cold. Maybe Wu Dao felt subconsciously that he was out of tune with this world.
He does need to pay attention to some aspects of this. At the very least, it is quite necessary to get familiar with his teammates.
"Thank you." Wu Dao said thank you softly.
"Thank you, I just said that."
"Let's go. Are you leaving or not?" Hearing this, Mitsui Shou patted Wu Dao's shoulder, then stood up and packed up his backpack.
"I'll sit for a while. I haven't recovered yet. You go first." Wudao shook his head slightly and replied with a smile.
"Well, don't forget to close the door when you leave. I'm leaving first!" Mitsui Shou put the bag on his shoulder, patted Wudao's shoulder, and left the gym after saying that.
Wu Dao looked at Mitsui Shou's leaving back, and the smile on his face became bright.
Apart from his parents in this world, he did receive care from other people.
In spring, the cherry blossoms on the campus of Takeishi Junior High School are in full bloom. The pink petals are blown down from the trees by the wind, turning into a rain of flowers all over the sky.
Wu Dao carried his bag and left Takeishi Middle School and walked towards his home. On the way home, Wu Dao also went to a nearby supermarket to buy some food. He bought some fruits, salad dressing, steak, butter, pepper and other things, spending a lot of money.
His parents all had their own work to do, and were not at home even on Sundays. Therefore, things like lunch had to be taken care of by Wu Dao himself, and as for the money for shopping, it was prepared by Jinguji Xiangxiang, with the original intention of letting Wu Dao go out to buy food.
In this era, Japanese restaurants were not that developed. The most common street vendors were coffee shops, fast food such as fried chicken and hamburgers, and sushi restaurants. These things were not suitable for Wudao as lunch, so Wudao had no choice but to buy the ingredients and cook them at home.
Grilled steak with fruit salad, although a little simple, but healthy. Nothing is more suitable for Wudao at this stage than beef. After lunch, Wudao took a break for a while, and then went out again with a basketball and a backpack.
He didn't forget that he had made an appointment with Rukawa to practice basketball together this afternoon.
When Wudao arrived at the park stadium, Rukawa had not arrived yet. Wudao lay on the recliner next to the stadium and rested comfortably for a while. He hadn't seen any trace of Rukawa, so he decided to complete today's daily task first.
After completing today's push-ups, sit-ups, and squats, Wu Dao started jogging along the edge of the court. He had actually completed a considerable portion of the 10km training when he was in school, so it didn't take long for today's daily tasks to be completed.
After these days of adaptation, Wu Dao was no longer half dead after completing his daily tasks. After taking the potion rewarded by the system, Wu Dao's spirits also recovered a lot. However, the tired Wu Dao still lay on the park recliner and took a comfortable nap.
"clang!"
After an unknown amount of time, Wudao was awakened from his sleep by the crisp sound of iron striking. Wudao rubbed his eyes and sat up from the recliner. He saw a handsome guy practicing shooting on the court.
"Ryukawa Kaede, you are late." Wudao looked up at the sky and saw that the sun in the sky had moved westward at some point, and the clouds in the sky had turned fiery red, indicating that it was already evening.
"I got here a long time ago, but I saw you were sleeping, so I didn't call you." Rukawa Kaede trotted to the basket and picked up the basketball. He turned around and said something to Wudao, and then continued shooting.
"Really?" Wudao woke up. Only then did he realize that Rukawa's clothes had been soaked with sweat. It was obvious that he had been practicing for quite some time.
"Hahaha, sorry, sorry." Wu Dao, who noticed this, felt a little embarrassed and quickly stood up.
"You were snoring loudly in your sleep just now."
"Does the Takeishi Junior High School basketball team practice a lot?"
Rukawa threw the ball casually, turned his head and asked curiously.
"Training volume?"
"Hey, I was practicing shooting this morning, from the beginning to the end of the training, with breaks in between."
“It’s tiring, but very fulfilling.”
“I can feel myself getting stronger.”
"Go to Wushi, you can become stronger!"
Wudao said with a smile, looked at Rukawa Kaede, narrowed his eyes slightly, and a bold idea arose in his mind.
"Can I become stronger...?"
Rukawa muttered, took two steps forward, grabbed the basketball again, and hooked the ball into the basket. He became curious about the school that Wudao mentioned.
"By the way, where is your home? Is it close to Takeishi?"
