8. Very Tired yet Interested Day
Orientation
Yesterday I felt very tired yet happy. It is because even I am a new guy in this team, I
could practice basket with first string members already. The practice was very tough.
I almost vomited but I endure it.
Events
The first time I entered the gym, I saw our ace doing dunk. He jumped very high. I
was amazed by his ability. However, I did not want to lose to him. I tried to shoot
ouside three points and scored perfectly. I wanted to know how far my ability could
go, so I tried to dunk. Unfortunately, I could not even reach the ring. I knew I was not
tall enough, yet I would not know it was going to in or not unless I tried, so I thought.
After I failed to do dunk, I tried to do alley oop. For the seventeenth I tried, finally I
did it. When I tried to do dunk again, desperately I did not jump and just threw the
ball. One of my senior who saw me, lifted me so I could cacth the ring and make
score. It was embrassing but I was glad that I had a very nice senior.
Reorientation
The practice was really tiring but make me happy. Tomorrow I will do my very hard.
Next time I do dunk, it will by my own ability.
