Looking at the not-so-friendly giant, Masaru chuckled and said, "Saruwatori Naoki, pleased to meet you, looks like our team aren't all miserable failures, good to see that we have one player besides me and Rikyu that has some skill, that was pretty good drills you had there. You can go first if you want Naoki-kun, this drill is nothing special," with a smile, showing something quite rare to come from Masaru. Respect. Masaru looked down the ladder, it seemed the coach was focusing on testing agility and speed of the players for day 1. Masaru could see already that Rikyu probably won't fare well for the first few practice sessions. Masaru smiled at the thought that if Rikyu had excellent all-around skills, if he had that combined with his lack of presence he would be quite brilliant, even moreso than already. Rikyu was respected by Masaru not because of his play style and the fact Masaru cannot imitate it, but because despite Rikyu had low quality normal basketball skills he had the determination of any pro level player.
