Momba put his both his hands in the air while doing the three finger sign like how the Golden State warriors did it after every shot they made from the three point line and started walking back to get on defense confusing all the players on the Grove team. They were confused as to why Momba and I were walking back on defense until the ball went in the hoop as their main player looked in shock that I was able to make the first shot that I took all game without even doing a warm-up before the game.
The game continued on as Tim kept feeding me the ball, I got open a few times giving us a bigger lead as I kept taking shots, with only a few seconds left I was using the time freeze to steal the ball from the power forward every time he touched the ball just to prove a point that he was not invincible. By the time the game ended we had driven the lead-up by 13 points as the power forward for the opposite team had lost all his confidence after facing off with me.
He came up to me after the game and apologized for the way he acted but I told him never to be too overconfident because there's someone always better as he took those words to heart and later down the road he would work extra harder to get into the NBA. I had no clue that I had made a future NBA star after talking with him. He trained even extra harder and I knew I would meet him in the near future.
This guy's name was Jeff green as we went our separate ways. That night Take had a small celebration to celebrate our first victory, it was just a small chill joint as we all hung out and had a few drinks. Tim had brought his PlayStation to start a small NCAA video game tourney, so I started playing that game with him. Tim chose North Carolina as I shook my head and said "where are the loyalties" .
He laughed embarra.s.sed as I chose the Terps team, I was surprised by how detailed the game was with all the players. When I looked on the bench I saw my name on there which surprised me, I got a little excited as I said "look guys I'm actually in a video game, mama I made you proud" causing everybody to laugh. The starters were respectful towards me after that game and started to warm up to me more as they knew that if they wanted to win the whole tournament this season they would definitely need my help.
They were senior's so they wanted to go out with a bang and win the whole NCAA tournament. The game started as I made changes to the rotation I took out Lance and put myself in as a starter, when everybody saw this they started laughing at Lance but he wasn't mad as he also found it amusing so the game started. Tim won the jump ball and made his way towards the hoop I had replace San with Momba so I had him in the post covering for defense.
The North Carolina's players had the advantage when it came to the players ratings, so Tim had his player go in and dunk on Momba. This surprised me as I quickly refuted that in real life that would never happen causing everybody to laugh once again, Momba was sitting in the corner with a serious face on. He also thought that would never happen in real life.
I got the ball and brought it down as I decided to see if Take was done some justice in this game. I took it in the hole and did a fade away but he bricked the shot as I said "well at least that's true about this game". Everybody started busting out laughing as Take had a nasty face on him but then he started also laughing as he said "well that's definitely not true either".
The game continue this I decided to start using my player, I got up to the three-point line and shot it and bricked it the whole room erupted with laughter. They started laughing because they knew that in real life I would definitely not miss that shot and I was wide open on top of that. I wanted to call the gamemakers right then and there to insult them for not making my player even close to how I play.
Even the dribbling was slightly different and I was much lower in ratings. I was very disappointed by the games play and thought that they definitely needed to see more of me my plays. I decided to play more time in the next games when we were finally being televised so that my ratings would grow. Tim was able to crush me in this game as I told him that I would get the game and practice so that I would never lose to him again.
Tim knew how compet.i.tive I was and could only shake his head thinking that he was going to be in trouble next time he played me. Momba hopped on the sticks next and played with Tim due to Tim winning he didn't have to get off the sticks. It was going to be a winner keeps playing and losers pa.s.s the sticks kind of tournament, winner takes all as we all had put in $10.
