"Wala bang court na may bubong? It's so hot in here" reklamo ni Shiane ng makarating kami sa pinaka malapit na court dito sa loob ng village.
"Kung gusto mong matuto mag basketball tanggalin mo muna lahat ng arte mo sa katawan dahil bawal yan." sagot ko sakaniya habang dinidribble ang hawak kong bola.
"I watched different basketball games and they used to play under the roofs and not like this na nakabilad sa araw Dwaine" and she rolled her eyes. "Atsaka bakit isa lang ang ring di ba dapat dalawa?"
"That's what you called half court. Dalawa lang naman tayong maglalaro so i think this is okay tsaka tuturuan pa lang naman kita. Anong gusto mo magtig isa pa tayo ng ring?" atsaka ko hinagis sakaniya ang bola. Tumama lang iyon sa braso niya ng di niya masalo dahil siguro hindi niya inaasahan yon.
"Arghhh Galit ka padin ba dahil inaasar kita kaninang umaga?" sagot niya bago si tumakbo para kunin ang bolang di niya nasalo "Masakit yon ha" sambit niya ng makalapit na siya at binato ang bola sakin pabalik.
"Let me tell you these first. If you want to learn and play basketball kailangan wala kang arte sa katawan hindi yung nainitan ka lang magrereklamo ka na or natamaan ka lang ng bola aaray ka na dahil may instances na baka sa muka ka pa tamaan ng bola niyan. Your goal here is to catch the ball whenever it was pass to you and to dribble it towards the places you desire to go and to throw or shoot it on the ring or pass it to another player in your team in order to gain points." pagpapaintindi ko sakaniya. Muka namang nagets niya ang point ko dahil medyo umaliwas din ang muka niya mula sa pagkakasimangot at pagiinarte.
"Where do you want to start?" i asked her
"Tell me everything you know"
"I know that you want to learn this dahil basketball player si Lj." mabilis na sagot ko sakaniya habang nakataas ang kilay as nakaismid sakaniya pero tinaasan niya lang ako ng gilid ng labi niya.
"HAHAHAHA can't escape the corner ha?" I teased her pero sinenyasan niya lang ako ng kamay na para bang inuutusan na kong magsimula and so i did. Lumakad ako palayo sakaniya while dribbling the ball.
"I wanted you to know the rules first. There are 2 kinds of fou--" i didn't finish what i was trying to say when she interupted me.
" I already know that. Tinuro na yan sa P.E ng high school like duhh? Start with the acts now and i already knew such rules and what do you call ever pass and kind of dribbles. I wanted to learn how to do those" she said with a bored tone
"Ok ok calm down woman" as i chuckled.
Itinuro ko sakaniya yung mga different kind of pass like chest pass, overhead pass, and so many things. I teach her how to dribble the ball correctly. I even taught her how to do the cross over and other stunts to do para makawala ka sa nagbabantay sayo. She really look so eager to learn and taking everything seriously.
"Ganun lang pala yon e basic lang pala." pag yayabang niya habang nagpupunas ng pawis. Well i won't deny it she is really good and learn things easily. "Let's try playing it." pagaaya niya.
