The next day was the usual for Misaki whenever she was on her baseball schedule; get up, get dressed, eat, brush teeth, grab her baseball gear and school bag, and walk to school with Crystal. Crystal left with Misaki, wondering how her team would handle baseball. Misaki really only excelled in a few things for each sport that wasn't basketball, but Misaki has played basketball all of her life. She's trained herself to get better in her sport, because her goal is to be a basketball coach when she grows up.
Anyway, Misaki was good at certain things in different sports. In Tennis, it was serving; in Baseball it was hitting and throwing; in American Football it was throwing; in Soccer it was being a goalie. Anything to do with the hips up was usually her forte.
Crystal wondered if the boys would even be able to catch her hits, because they were faster than the average speed and the balls usually flew out of the park.
And let's not forget that this team hasn't touched a baseball for a long time, if any time.
When it was time to meet up with the team to go work out, Misaki had already met up with the Baseball coach. The coach was ecstatic, not because everyone had a crush on said girl, but Misaki was the best hitter he had seen a while in Japan. It meant that her hips and knees were stronger in basketball than the average player. He had always liked the thought of training different ways, because not many people had the mentality to know that there are many different moves that you can add to a sport.
Of course, he didn't know that Crystal was the person who came up with the idea after finding out what her sister could do with her large lower body power combined with her medium upper body power when the were in America.
Crystal had seen that when Misaki was facing her opponents in America that they usually had high jumps, sure, but they also had dunks that were hard to block for a girl. When she had asked one of them, James, he had said that his dad always had him doing physical labor to work up his biceps to be able to throw longer in American Football. Crystal had asked him, being the ever-so-kind sister that she is, what she could do for her sister to have more upper body strength.
'Oh, gosh, no! I am not going to give Misaki more tips on how to be better than me! Go ask someone else!' His voice had softened from the harsh tone he had used to a gentle one at Crystal's pouting face. 'But, you can probably ask a woman. Her name's Alex. She used to be on the WNBA, I heard.'
'Really?' She grinned, making the older boy's cheeks flush. 'Thanks so much!'
'You're welcome, Crystal.'
She knew the reason that Misaki suggested training. She is the manager of the basketball. She always knows the teams that they are going to face.
You have to be in top physical shape to face Kirisaki.
