It's obviously all in Japanese, so our translator was to my left translating everything for me. They spoke a little bit about both of us as players, and then a little bit about our personalities. They asked us to describe each other in one word and tell us why. Hikaru chose to describe me as a "gentleman." He was pretty complimentary of me, being the nice guy that he is! My word for Hik was "positive," explaining to them that he never has a bad day, as a player or as a person. He is always productive every practice trying to be the best player that he can be. I admire that about him, and he is the best kind of teammate I could ask for.
They also asked him if I had any flaws...Hik responded saying that my "high five" is too hard! So, we had to demonstrate it for them. I told him I get a little intense right before and during games, sorry Hik!
My motto for the rest of the season is to "Stick Together," making sure we can make a strong push for the playoffs.
