I Cant Miss !!!

"Coach, are you serious? You don't have any footage of the South American military teams basketball play!" I was surprised by this as I thought why don't they have a single video clip, it seems like they're trying to keep things under wraps. Coach Andre told me that they played against them once last year and that they beat them by a lot of points. I looked at Coach Andre and said," but almost every team in this league beat you by a lot of points you got to give me more details." 

Coach Andre smiled embarrassed and said, "well their small forward was the one who was killing us. Nobody could stop him, and when he jumped, it seemed like he could touch the sky". My eyes lit up as I said, "the second coming of Air Jordan"? Everybody there laughed, Khalid continued as he said "yeah, the guy had only just joined in the league last year. Still, he was automatically a star for their team and made a lot of noise. 

They made it to the playoffs and went toe-to-toe with the Marines, but unfortunately, they lost to the Marines which cut their playoff run short, and even if they hadn't lost to the Marines they would have lost to China's team anyway, so there was no point in overthinking it". 

The following week Friday night, we were having our second game of the playoffs. The South American team was called The Bulls. Watching them play made me laugh a little because the tallest guy was the small forward; he was standing at a 6'8 while their center and their power forward were respectively 6'6. This looked weird as their point guard was extremely short standing at 5'7, while they're shooting guard was a 6'0. I wondered how they were able to make it with such a small team, but I could see and feel the aura coming off the small forward as he leaped into the air to catch an alley-oop during the warm-ups hyping the crowd up.

This guy was called Manuel standing at a 6'8 with a tan body; his arms looked ripped as his brown hair was soaked in sweat hanging above his eyes. Manuel noticed me looking at him as he did a quick smile before he went back and dunked the ball once again, but this time when he jumped his arm and the ball went a little bit above the backboard as he came back down slamming into the basket. I was surprised by his jumping ability as I thought up I guess we found a dunking ability user. 

This guy was quite the grasshopper; I wasn't impressed with his moves. Just his jumping ability was the one that caught me off-guard a little bit now. Now I knew how he won against the African team. He probably Leapfrogs them all game. Manuel went up for the jump ball, which didn't surprise me, as soon as the ref threw the ball up. Manuel jumped along with Aldrich, Aldrich had to look up to him as Manuel had reached for the Stars grabbing the ball, and looking down on everybody while he was coming down. 

I didn't like the way he left the ball on the ground, so guess what I did? I was ready to turn it up on him. I didn't even let Paige get the ball when we were inbound, as I told Khalid to pass me the ball. Paige could see the fire had been ignited in me after that last dunk. I brought down the ball while their shooting guard was checking me. I was going to break him until they had Manuel check me himself, so crossed him up a little bit before I did a step back and hit the 3 to give us a one-point lead. 

Manuel didn't even seem surprised as he also asked for the ball and ran past his defender Khalid who was having quite the hard time guarding against this grasshopper as he dunked the ball once again. This guy seemed like he was going to be dunking all night. I guess I should show off some of my dunking skills too. I brought down the ball once again, but this time I just sped past my defender as I bumped into his shoulders and left him behind. 

Manuel came out of nowhere trying to defend me, so I spun the ball in between his legs and in that split second I knew I couldn't make it around him quickly enough, so I used time freeze as I went around while he was looking down and by the time the time came back on I was already dribbling into the basket as I did the same dunk as he did. I floated in the air for a little bit, not quite as good as he did, but I still floated in the air for a little bit before bending my knees and dunking it. When Manuel saw this, he was shocked and was grinning as he thought, "this guy is interesting."

I also grinned at him and even winked just to get him ready for what I was about to do next.
