I Cant Miss - Chapter 101 College 3
The match started between me and the kid, we shot the ball to see who gets the first possession and of course, I got the ball. We checked it up, the kid was playing me tight. I quickly made a step back shot giving me the first three points.The kid was surprised as he upped his defense, but it didn’t matter to me. I checked it up once again and I crossed him up as he caught himself about to fall, but by the time he looked back up I was already laying it up to give myself five points.The kid got angry as he checked the ball once more. I started to dribble the ball, the kid wasn’t giving me much space so I posted him up into the lane and seeing that he was a smaller guy than me I did a hook shot to give myself seven points.The kid felt useless after letting me score seven points on him. His defense relaxed a little bit soon as we checked up the ball, I shot it once again and said “game point”.The crowd was cheering as we checked up the ball once again. The kid looked so sad so I decided to end it right then and there by doing the step back and hitting the 3. The 3 gave me 13 points which were more than I was supposed to get.I told the kid that he should keep practicing and not get discouraged as I went to go wait in the stands with my ladies. The games progressed as it was finally my turn again, this time I was playing against a fellow shooting guard.It seems like the organizers of the event were letting certain positions play against each other until the finals. This guy seemed to be around my age as he looked at me with disdain.The guy started talking trash in his Australian accent but I ignored him and took a shot. Giving me a three-point lead. The guy was surprised but still continued to talk shit, talking about that was a lucky shot.I told him that he should continue letting me take the shot as I took another shot to give me a six-point lead. This time he decided to step up and play some defense. Since he was talking trash I wasn’t going to let him go so easily.I posted up on him had my back turned towards him as I let go of a hook shot from the 3-point line, this was my first time ever doing that and I wanted to try to see if it worked because nobody could block a hook shot unless they were tall as hell.The ball went in with a swiss sound as the crowd went wild, now I had nine points and needed three more points to win the game. The guy was starting to sweat and got nervous as he thought that he was going to be eliminated without even making a single point.I checked up with him as he was starting to get a little rowdy, he fouled me a couple of times so I decided to teach him a lesson for reaching in and pushing me a few times.I quickly blew past him as he followed me closely, I pumped my brakes while sliding the basketball behind my back like Steph Curry’s crossover. He couldn’t stop in time as he fell on his back and I took the shot from the 3-point line to win the game.Everybody started saying “ohhhh” as they laughed at the guy for getting crossed up so badly. I went to go take my seat once again next to my ladies as they had provided me with a local dish called Chicken parmigiana.This classic Aussie chicken dish with roots in Italian-American cooking is a staple offering on pretty much every pub menu in the country. Originally eggplant based (and these are still available for vegetarians), it has evolved into a chicken schnitzel topped with tomato sauce, melted cheese and, if you’re feeling fancy, prosciutto ham.This is typically served with salad and chips, although there’s a split between those who think the chips should be under the party and those who think they should be on the side. After finishing my meal which was extremely delicious.They had started the championship ground which consisted of only 10 people. I finally came down to stretch for my next game, and surprisingly I saw somebody I recognized there.It was none other than my favorite future rookie of the Year Australian native Ben Simmons. He was a bit tall for an 11-year-old but he had made it into the championship. He was playing quite well and probably the only child after they eliminated all the other children.My number had been called as I went to face my first opponent in the championship. This guy was also a shooting guard but slightly taller than me. The game had started as we had a shootout to determine who would get the ball first which I got eventually.The guy checked up the ball and I dribbled a little bit just to test out his defense. I tried to fake him out but he wouldn’t budge. Eventually, he forced me to stop, so I had no choice but to try a fade away. When I shot the ball he had blocked the shot as he grabbed the ball in the air turned around and went to dunk the ball.I was surprised by this as I didn’t think he would be able to jump that high but here I was on the losing end. We checked up the ball once again but this time he was the one who was dribbling it out. The guy dribbled and stepped back and took a quick shot from the mid-range.He made it give himself two more points, this guy was really testing me so I decided to step it up as he received the ball once again. He decided to dribble a little and take a step back mid-range shot but missed just when I was about to get the rebound he came up from behind me grabbed the rebound and laid it up to give himself another two points.
