I Cant Miss - Chapter 102 College 4
The score was 6-0, I had zero points and my opponent had six points. My opponent still had the ball as we checked it up.
He decided to take a 3 which I let him but this time I waited for the rebound as he bricked it. I got the rebound, he was pretty mad that I didn’t even play defense and he still messed up.
I would have probably had to use my GoldenEye or time freeze in order to get that advantage so when I grabbed the rebound I dribbled it back to the 3-point line because I had to take it back.
When I turned around, the guy was right there with me, which surprised me so I stopped and decided to do another hook shot and made It.
3 points, the guy was shocked that I was able to make a shot like that, but didn’t think too much into it as he checked the ball back up. As soon as he gave me the space to shoot it I did, which caught him off guard as I added another three points to my score tying up the game.
Now he started to get serious as he was playing me tightly I dribbled it up a little bit, pretended I was going to shoot as he jumped up to try to block it.
I did a sidestep and took another shot from the 3-point line giving me nine points. The guy was mad at himself for falling for that fake but after that, he told himself you never do that again.
I wanted to quickly end this game, so after checking it up I decided to do another hook shot but this time the guy was right there with me as he blocked a shot making it go out of bounce.
Everybody started to cheer for him after seeing such a remarkable block. I thought my hook shot was definitely going to be unbeatable but it seems like this guy was hell-bent on beating the unbeatable.
Instead of holding on to the ball he got it knocked out of bounds, so it was my ball once again as we checked it up.
This time I decided to break his ankles in order to get free to get my shot off. I crossed him up a little as I faked like I was going left but went right, which he fell for and I faded a little to the side as I took the shot because he was right there on my hip trying to block the shot but was a little too late as I shot the winning shot.
I then moved on to the next round, the guy was pretty nice as he came and shook my hands and thanked me for the good game after the game. I went back to the stands to go witness the other matches as soon as my match finished.
Ben Simmons’s match was finished too, he had won his match moving on to the next round. I was sad I didn’t get to see him play and wondered if at this younger age he was able to shoot the ball better than his future self.
My next match was up against a power forward, he was a lot taller than me so I knew this match it’s going to be a little difficult if I didn’t plan it right.
If he was just as fast as I was then he would definitely be a problem but in all honesty, I loved playing against taller players because they are all not that intelligent and pretty slow when it came to ball movement.
The game started and I won the shootout, gaining the ball first once again. I checked it up as he started to play some good defense on me. It seems like he had been watching my games and noticed that I was able to shoot.
Due to this, I decided to run around him and tire him out, so I ran non-stop around the court, he got annoyed by this as sometimes he would slow down and I’ll take the shot.
He got really frustrated as he said “stop moving you little rat” I laughed and took another shot. In no time I had nine points, he was holding his knees while breathing heavily.
He checked the ball as he said” I don’t even care to go ahead and take your shot”, which I did and won the game. This was a pretty good experience for me as I learned how to beat tall players easily now.
I went to go sit down and watch the rest of the matches and Simmons was still playing his match. This time he was facing a much taller opponent so I think I was having a hard time.
Ben’s mid-range shots were pretty good as he was also using his speed to get by his opponents, due to him being much smaller than them he was able to zip past them and lay it up or just shoot the mid-range jumper.
He slowly counted up his points and won the game. The next matchups started after an hour break and surprisingly my next opponent was Ben Simmons.
I got a little excited at the thought of playing this future Hall-of-Famer. We shot for the ball, he was surprisingly making some 3-pointers which surprised me as I thought what happened to him in order for him to stop shooting threes and his form looks pretty good too.
Eventually, he missed one as I retained the ball. I checked up and Ben was playing me pretty tightly, it seemed like he had seen some of my games too and didn’t let me take that surprise shot.
I did a pump fake but he didn’t fall for it, i smiled and did another pump fake but still didn’t fall for it so I decided to do a fadeaway and took the shot. He almost blocked me but fell a few inches short as I got the first three points.
