So it was time to begin. Kimura stood near his two teammates. "Alright, so most likely they'll have Naoki jump for the ball once we start. It's enevitable so I want you(Masaru) to play the test dummy. Once the coach releases the ball into the air, act like you're going to jump, but don't. He has a fairly large height advantage over you, let him get the ball and focus on defense. We'll be playing man-to-man, so stay on Naoki unless we change our gameplan. Izumi, you'll be on Rikyu, he's known as 'The Shadow' so try and figure out how he functions and exploit all his weaknesses. I will guard Taki" 

With the plan set, Kimura tossed the ball gently to Michiko. He then resumed to half court and waited for his opponents to line up. Like during the regular season, he was prepared to hear the spectator which in this case would be his coach.
