Paige caught the ball. I saw that Blackpool was asking for the ball. She ignored him. I laughed as she passed me back the ball. I went in between my two defenders, and I did a lean in a shot from the three-point line.
Another all net basket as the crowd continued to cheer. I smiled at that. An looked like he was frustrated but couldn''t do anything about it as they moved on to the next play. An brought down the ball and looked around for the open man; nobody was available. An asked for a pick. A guy came behind me, trying to set the pick for An. I went around the pick.
It was too late. An was already leaning and taking the same shot that I had just taken. I wanted to time freeze and block the shot, but it was a little bit too late as the ball sunk in once again. I wanted us to at least be a tie game.
Bringing the ball down, I slowly made my way forward, dribbling at a steady pace. The point guard that was guarding me was harassing me, and the refs weren''t doing anything. I had no choice but to use a time freeze. I went around him and took the jump shot from the three-point line.
The guard was confused as to when I had disappeared from his eyesights, but then he looked back and noticed that I was already taking the shot; this confused him to no ends, but An knew that it was my ability, so he didn''t trip too much on it
An was still trying to figure out what my ability was. He knew that I could shoot it from anywhere, so that could be one of them, but how I could just steal the ball and disappear away from his eyes confused him to no means as he was starting to think that maybe I have more than one power, but he''s never heard of anything like that.
An was interested in me as while he was in a strand of thought, I was able to time freeze and stole the ball from him. By the time the ball came back into play, he was pissed at his carelessness as he started stomping on the ground, wondering how was he this careless to let me tie up the game.
With 50 seconds left on the clock, An knew that he had to do something crazy to win this game, he brought down the ball. I was covering him hard on defense, but then all of a sudden, he tossed up the ball, which surprised me as I looked up towards the basket where he threw it. All I saw was Li receiving the catch and turning around midair to dunk the ball straight into the basket.
Okay, now I was a little bit annoyed after that as I brought down the ball once again, and his point guard was defending me hard, but this time, I decided to pass the ball to Paige, who was wide open at the three-point line. I told her to shoot it, she quickly shot the ball, and surprisingly it went in, giving us a one-point lead with 20 seconds left on the clock.
I could tell An was angry, but he had on this calm face, but it didn''t matter to me. I saw that Blackpool was also playing defense heavily on his man; I nodded my head. An brought down the ball once again, I noticed that Li was trying to get open in the post, but his defender was stopping him by all means
An once again asked for a pick. This time I didn''t move. I let him go for the shot as he took it to give them a two-point lead with 3 seconds left on the clock. Coach Andre called a timeout as we started to rearrange the next play. Coach Andre already knew that the ball was going to me, so he was trying to set up multiple picks for me to get the shot off.
But that was the same way that the China team was thinking too. They knew that I would be getting the ball, so they would put all their players on me and try to stop me by all means, but I had a better plan in mind to spoil their plans.
After a few minutes of the timeout, the buzzard sounded once again as we all got onto the court. Paige was on the sideline about to pass me the ball as the whole team was checking me. They didn''t care if anybody else got the ball in my team, as everybody was open under the basket. I wanted to win this game, we were down by two, of course, I''m going to take the three.
So I''m running around trying to get open; Paige could have quickly passed the ball to one of the guys under the basket for the dunk, but we were going for the win, so I told her that no matter what, she should pass me the ball I''m at the half-court line trying to get open as their whole China team is following closely behind me
I quickly broke off from the group as I went to the other side of the Court. They were confused by this as no one chased me, so the page passed the ball up to me. I caught the ball as An was screaming, "no!!!, still check him it doesn''t matter if he''s on the other side of his court, he can even make it from there".
An couldn''t believe his teammates were this careless as everything seemed to go into slow motion. Their whole team chased after me, saying no simultaneously as I set my feet and shot the ball. It seemed like the slowest time ever.
