Games After Games

When Friday finally came, I was getting ready for the next basketball game. The team we were playing against this time was pretty good. They had two future superstars at the college level, but these two weren't able to make it to the NBA, but they were still good enough while in high school.

The point guard was called Jeff while the center was called Carlos. The game had started, and we had won the jump ball thanks to Momba. ISO started the attack as he tried to drive it in but saw that Carlos was all over their base, so he had to back it up and then pass it to me.As soon as ISO passed the ball to me, half of the team started covering me. It seemed like everybody knew about my shots, and now they were pressing me right from the start. This made me laugh as I passed it to Brione, who was wide open, and he took the shot for three points giving us our first point.The away team seemed to be confused and wondered whether they got their reports wrong about me being the only good one on the team. The game progressed as Carlos was playing well in this game. Carlos was just bullying Momba in the post because he was faster than him.Momba still got a few blocks, but it wasn't enough to keep the score down. I had come out of the game for a bit just to let the newbies play a bit. As soon as I came out, we started losing, which I thought was funny but not funny at the same time.Jeff wasn't doing too bad himself, but it seemed like ISO had Jeff on lockdown, but Jeff was still performing well as he got in multiple 3-pointers. After I had left the game, the away team was quite happy to be winning. They started thinking that it was going to be an easy win until I decided to come back into the game.I had ISO give me the ball to bring it down as soon as I brought it in two people stepped up to defend me. I crossed in between them and ran to the three-point line and shot it. Everybody was amazed by the move that I had just made and was cheering loudly.I was grateful to all my fans, and I always showed it by waving at them. I noticed that Sandra was in the stands waving at me. I waved back as I hoped that I could talk to her more after the game. As the game progressed, I slowly made a comeback and gave us the lead.In one of the plays, I brought the ball down and crossed up a guy so badly he broke his ankle. They had to take him out and call an ambulance to come and pick him up because it was that bad. I could see a small bone poking out, which did not look too good.I kind of felt bad, but it was hard to feel bad when the crowd was all cheering about the move that I had made. I prayed that the other guy heals properly after that stunt nobody on the other team wanted to guard me, which I didn't blame them for. I had just broken somebody's ankles, and now he was in the hospital.The game progressed as I was doing all my crazy shots. Nobody could check me; after a while, I crossed up another guy, but I made sure I held back otherwise, he probably would have had his ankles broken too. I was walking the ball down the court as everybody was waiting for me to come to begin the play.I made a signal for everybody to calm down as I just took the shot from half court stunning the whole team. Everybody in the crowd got up and started pointing their hands up with the three sign due to me always making that point it had become a ritual to stand up and put up their hands to make a three sign as soon as they saw me throw that shot up.The media found it quite entertaining, and it had even become a movement within the city whenever anybody saw me they would just put their hands up and make the three sign causing me to laugh, so when I saw the crowd do it. The other team had no clue what was going on.As soon as they saw that I had made it, they were shocked beyond words. My teammates were used to it, so they just cheered me on as we went to play defense again. On our next offensive play half, the away team was waiting at the half-court waiting for me. That way, I wouldn't be shooting from there.As soon as Mamba had thrown the ball to me from the outbound, I did calm down sign again this time most of my teammates that were about to run to the other side of the court to start the offense all stopped and started turning back to play defense because they knew I was going to shoot it. I was going to make it too.The crowd got up again and started pointing their hands up to the sky with three-point signs as I shot the ball right there from the other side of the Court. The away team was shocked beyond words and thought I had lost my mind but got serious as soon as they saw all my teammates going back to play defense as the ball went through the hoop like a water splash.The crowd went crazy as a coach has finally had enough and took me out of the game because we were winning by 20 + points and went on to win the game by 30 + points easily.The new transfers were doing pretty well even Brione l had done well in that game due to his speed nobody could keep up with him, so he was able to maneuver his way around the court easily. Brione had been working on his shooting game all summer and had grown a few inches.After the game, we all went to celebrate. I invited Sandra, but she rejected me once again. I was wondering what I was doing wrong again, and if we truly were not going to get back together, I wouldn't want to be wasting my time with her. I didn't want to keep thinking about it all night and celebrated when my teammates.The next day was Saturday. We had a football game, and it was even broadcasting on our local channels as we had a home game this time. It was held at the University of Maryland. The team we were playing was pretty good, and if it weren't for me, they wouldn't even put our football team in their eyes.The kickoff started, and we had the ball first. I decided to be the catcher and received the ball as I ran up the field towards the incoming team. The coach was scared to let me do this play because he knew what would happen if the team catches up to the runner.As soon as somebody was about to tackle me, I dodged him by stepping to the side as I kept running. Another two players were tackling me from both of my sides. I quickly time froze and got out of there as soon as possible. Time unfroze, and the guys tackled each other instead of me.I made my way down the field and eventually made a touchdown giving us the lead as soon as the game started. The coach was so happy about this and was celebrating nonstop. The game continued as we scored the field goal and was up on the lead. We were playing defense now, and I told Coach to let me play this one defensive play because I wanted to hurry up and win this game.I was going to start pulling up all the stops to win this game as soon as possible. I had first to break the hearts of the opposite team to make them seem like there's no chance, so when the defensive play started, as soon as the quarterback initiated the play, I time froze.I got through his defense and quickly stole the ball from him. As soon as I touched the ball time unfroze as I pulled it away from the quarterback. Everybody was surprised to see that I had gotten through the defense because nobody saw me do it. I ran to the opposite side of the field to get the touchdown.The other team was quite confused by this because the same person had scored two touchdowns in a row. They had never seen anything like that. A person playing the offense and defense scoring two touchdowns in a row was quite the accomplishment.The team had gotten quite shaken over my two touchdowns and was wondering if I would still have tricks up my sleeve. They weren't discouraged like I thought they would be as they got ready to receive the ball. We got up by two touchdowns now, so they seemed like they were ready to get serious.After receiving the ball, they ran it down, but we were able to stop them. I told Coach to put me in one more time for the defensive play since it was near the goal line. After the quarterback started the play I time froze once again as I passed the defense line and tackled the quarterback.The time unfroze as I tackled the quarterback on the ground while we were in the air I had also grabbed the ball and rolled off him and started running towards the goal line as I scored another touchdown. The guys were all shocked by this and had never seen me so productive.Coach, on the other hand, was starting to pull hair out of his head from the happiness that he was feeling. Everybody on my team was looking at me strangely after I got three touchdowns in a row. We decided to do a fake on the extra point, which I easily time froze and dove into the end zone.Now the away team started to look discouraged, and I was able to get some rest. They ended up not scoring again as we scored four more touchdowns without me in the game. The game was easily won, which shocked everybody because the other team had never lost like this. We had become internet sensations as I had become more famous once again.Everybody thought that I was officially a football player, not knowing that basketball was my true sport. We went to celebrate after as I got to relax after for the rest of the day. Saturday evening I decided to text Sandra and asked her if she wanted to go to the movies, and she told me she was busy which I felt like it was a lie, but there was nothing I can do about it.I just ended up hanging out with the family for the rest of the night. The next day we all went to church where all the youth congratulated me on winning the game yesterday. They had all come to watch and were cheering me on. I was grateful to them, but I just wasn't connected as much. My pastor kept trying to be extra nice to me after he had heard that I was a sports genius. I didn't want anything to do with him after because I knew he was only nice to me because of that. After church, we went to an all-you-can-eat buffet to just hang out and eat.I had once again tried my luck by inviting Sandra out once again, but she rejected me once again, so after that, I had a feeling that I should probably just leave her alone, and I stopped contacting her. I noticed that she wasn't contacting me either, so I figured that maybe we should just go on our separate ways for real and left it alone for some time and decided to focus on my school and sports.
