29th Magic Bullet

[Action; Mayfield Rec Center]

[Yuna's out for some basketball practice as usual, but today she's decided to have a little bit more fun with it than usual.  She's always wanted to try a real dunk shot, since it looks so cool in live action shows.  So after she's done with her usual drills with dribbling, free throws, three point shots, and the like, she can be found taking full speed headlong runs straight at the hoop, trying to get enough lift to slam the ball straight through the hoop.  Of course, she isn't having much luck with it - she's only 5'3", after all, and these are regulation hoops she's dealing with here.  Even still, Yuna is nothing if not determined, so she'll keep on trying for as long as her stamina holds out.]


Geez... they make this look so easy on TV!

[Or you might catch her when she's finally tired herself out, sitting on the bleachers.  She's got a towel with her, wiping some sweat from her forehead while she drinks from a plastic water bottle.  Either way, she's spending the better part of the afternoon here today.]

[Fran looks at the hoop, and then a brief up and down on Yuna]

Most ball players who dunk are either at least 6 feet tall, or at least otherwise gifted in jumping~

Otherwise your technique seemed solid~ Many professionals who focus on dunking do so because they are unable to shoot from distance~

[Fran nods]

That's good~ Many people try to use medicine and surgery to go faster, but practice and hard work are always the best ways~
