Temple of Hoops
Temple of Hoops
バスケの寺
High in the mountains of The Iron Pines, the Temple of Hoops stands open to the sky — a court etched from stone, its lines carved by generations. Travelers climb the twenty-one steps to reach it, where the sacred game begins. The rule is simple: first to twenty-one may ring the sacred ball bell, whose sound carries through the valleys.
Each shot here is a prayer, each bounce a vow. The rock feels heavier at this altitude, as if testing one’s faith. To play at the Temple is to face the truth of the game — no crowd, no noise, only the echo of the ball and the face of your opponent.
When the sacred bell is struck, its sound rolls down the mountain like thunder turned to prayer. The echo lingers long after the game ends — a reminder that true greatness isn’t in the shot that wins, but in the silence that follows.
