HAYATO AND LIAM'S FRIENDLY ONE ON ONE; LIAM'S POTENTIAL IN BASKETBALL

Liam: sure thing, let's go

( Hayato changes into his gear)

(Hayato taps his shoe on the floor)

Hayato: how about we play a friendly one vs one , for old time's sake

Liam: okay, but don't expect me to go easy on you

Hayato: we'll be playing ones and twos, so threes counts as two and twos count as ones, first to sixteen

Liam: you're still as cunning as ever, taking advantage of the fact that I can't shoot

Hayato: it may be the only way that I can win against you

Hayato: okay, I'll shoot for it

(Liam passes the basketball to Hayato)

Hayato: come on you won't step up? Are you sure that you want to give up two more points?

(Swoosh)

Liam: and just like that it's now ten to four, six more points to go until you're beaten, your cheeky tactics won't save you this time

Hayato: I may be lacking in height compared to you but I'm not just going to roll over here

(Hayato passes the basketball to Liam)

(Liam backs down Hayato)
