Ulysses's POV
"Based on the previous games partner, Phoenix really doing magnificent floor defense here. From the reception and digging department, they really excel partner."
"Exactly partner. They executed their plays well. They have a plenty of high caliber spikers here. Also the set up job here for Martin Cole Esperanza."
"And also let's not forget the player who's behind of successful floor defense of this team..."
Biglang nagsigawan ang mga tao sa buong gym. Yung iba kong kateammate ay nagtatawanan kaya napakunot ang noo ko.
Tinuro ni Luis yung mga screens at ipinakita ako nito. With my bare and poker face. Jusko nakakahiya.
"Receptions, diggings and even some miraculous save partner. How does it happened?"
"Partner, the only answer with your question is this man flashing in our white screens..."
Wait man? Man as in lalake?
Wait babangasan ko nga yung hinayupak na yan. Pigilan niyo ko. Pigilan niyo ko.
"Blaine Andrada. The man behind the success of his team's excellent floor defense..."
Hindi ko na lamang ito pinansin at patuloy pa rin na ginagawa yung mga drills at warm-up before magstart ang finals game.
Yep, finals match na and we are still undefeated. It means we have an advantage, twice to beat kami, since we swept the eliminations.
Buzzer sounded all over the gymnasium, hudyat ng pagsisimula ng official warm-up namin sa loob ng court. 10 minutes to be exact.
Kumuha na kami ng mga bola at nagsipwestuhan na sa court para makapagstart na ng free spiking.
Nagtinginan kami nila Kuya Martin, Kuya Mico at Luis. At nagets naman namin agad. Our sign.
Hindi ako pumunta sa kabilang court, bagkus ay nakipila ako sa mga papalo and also I didn't change my uniform. Parehas kami ng mga normal na player, not being a libero.
"Sabi nga natin kanina Partner, isa sa mga foundation ng Phoenix ay ang kanilang matibay na depensa. But right now, there might be a little change partner..."
"Looks like Andrada will play as a normal or regular player here partner..."
Inihagis ko yung bola papunta kay kuya Martin, and he sets it. I jumped and reach the ball. Hit it with a cross court shot. Manipis, parang ako. Chz.
"Kuya Tin, magCR lang ako." Pagpapaalam ko kay kuya.
"Sige B. Bilisan mo ah, mauubos na yung oras natin." He replied at bumalik sa pagse-set nang bola.
Tumango na lang ako at tumakbo papuntang banyo. Pagkarating ko sa banyo ay may iilang tao rito, kaya medyo nakakailang. Pumasok na lamang ako sa isang cubicle at ginamit iyon.
Pagkatapos ko magCR ay naghugas ako ng kamay at tumapat sa salamin habang inaayos ang buhok. I stop for a moment at napatingin sa isang malaking salamin sa aking harapan.
Hindi ko pa ko pa nakikita si Na-tan-yel ah? And hindi ko siya nakita sa crowd ngayon.
Maybe he's in the game right now? Kaya hindi pa siya nakakapunta.
Maybe may iba siyang pinapanood? Like, sino naman papanoorin nun?
Or maybe he's still mad at me?
