I Cant Miss !!!

I wondered why that was the case but after remembering how he treated his teammates after dunking on them it was understandable. They just didn't have the will to keep up with his mentality. Tope wanted to ball and to win and he wanted everyone around him to think like him, to be hungry for the win.

I had it easy due to these abilities so my hunger wasn't as bad as Tope's who had to work extra hard to get where he was now. I wasn't going to go easy on him just because he trained harder than me, I was going to give it to him since he came to me wrong.

"Shoot for the ball," I told him, he shook his head and said "since I'm the captain I get the ball first". I smiled as I thought this guy was pretty slick. I checked up the ball as he started dribbling. Tope started a small conversation with me," hey you I heard you can shoot very well but let me show you how to shoot".

He did a step back and shot the three shot, it hit the front of the rim and bounced off missing the shot. Everybody around started laughing as the guy tried to show off and failed miserably. 

But the next thing that happened shocked me as I was going for the rebound, Tope caught the ball in midair above me and straight-up dunked it on me as I fell on the ground with him hovering all over me.

Now I was beyond pissed as I saw the smirk on his face as he hung on the rim.

"Sorry little buddy but I wasn't done talking was all he said to trigger me.

I counted to 10 to calm my nerves and then I gave him a fake smile as I said okay let's continue. I checked up the ball once again since he was much bigger than me he started to back me into the post trying to use his body to overtake mines. 

Since I hadn't been doing strength training in a while he was much stronger than me and was able to back me up into the post as he threw up a hook shot and made it.

He had that same smirk on his face which annoyed me but I didn't say anything as he said" sorry pal I don't have all day to beat you so we're playing to only five points, outside the line is two points, don't worry I'll finish this quickly.

All right No More Mr. Nice Guy for me, I was going to bring it to this guy in the worst possible way but I didn't want to injure his pride too much because I knew that going into the Olympics he was going to be my partner in crime but still I had to put him in his place after talking so much trash.

We checked up the ball again, he was up by 3 points now so his confidence was up high, he decided to drive the ball once again but this time I used my time freeze as he was frozen in place plucked the ball out of his hands to make it seem like it was an accident. When the time came back he was running towards the hoop wondering why I didn't run with him but after a few steps he noticed that he didn't have the ball in his hands.

Everybody there started to laugh as he went to the basket with no ball brimming with confidence only to look back and see me with the ball standing at the three-point line with the same smirk he had on his face returned right back at him. Tope looked around confused and asked how, before he could even say anything else I took the shot as it went in swish.

Swish baby! I said while looking straight at him while taking the shot which shocked Tope even more because I didn't even look at the hoop but I was looking straight at him when I was shooting the ball.

Tope started to curse in his language but luckily for me, I understood everything due to my skill International Man which allows me to understand any language in the world.

I laughed a little before I responded to his insults" hey Tope just because you suck at basketball doesn't mean you have to insult my dead mother". He looked at me in shock as he said "you understand my language but I thought you were from America how did you understand what I said".

I laughed but didn't say anything much as I waved my finger at him, giving him the come here sign. He didn't say anything as we checked the ball back up again.

He still had that confused look on his face as to how he was able to lose the ball and due to that distraction I immediately took the shot as I saw that he wasn't too focused. Swish two points he looked back in shock as he asked" you made that?" Everybody around the court started laughing and said yes he did and he has game point you're about to lose.

Now he was focused as he saddled up to play better defense we checked the ball up again this time he was all over me as I held the ball in my hand waving it from left to right around me and hoping that he wouldn't be able to pluck it out of my hands due to his long reach.

He complained and said I don't know how you're able to make those two shots but you won't make another one on me. I started dribbling, I faked to the left but instead went to the right I ran straight towards the basket and he was right on my heels waiting to block the shot but I wasn't going for a shot I was going for revenge.
