JoJo was so mad he told me no more of this and that he was going to stop my next play I said "sure you can try" as the game began once again. I started to dribble around the court full speed to see if he'll tire out but when I took three steps he was only taking one so it was kind of hard but eventually he started breathing heavily as he said: "stop moving around puny rat".
The ref thought that this was quite a loophole that I was exploiting so he decided to add a shot clock as he started counting down from 10 and if it reaches 0, I would have to give up the ball to Jojo. I was so mad that the ref had just come up with this rule just to help out Jojo but I could understand that the crowd was getting quite bored at me just running around with the ball as I looked quite silly doing it.
I decided to get started once again as I blew by JoJo and tried to go in for a layup but that was quickly blocked. JoJo grabbed the ball and went in for the dunk after taking just one step. I was still amazed by how easily he had access to the whole Court in a few steps. I also kind of felt like this court was a little bit smaller than the norm but I ignored it.
Jojo was trying to catch up to me, I had 14 points and he now had 8 points. The game began once again as he tried to speed past me but I was in front of him. JoJo then did something that shocked me as he stopped and took a mid-range shot to get two more points added on.
Jojo now had ten points while I had 14, this shocked me as the crowd was cheering for Jojo because he was a native. Sandra and Riri were also yelling and cheering me on too. I waved at them and smiled embarra.s.sedly. I let this guy come back like that but I was still in the lead so I was in no rush to get things done.
This was the final game for this tournament and I wanted to make it a little bit enjoyable. This time JoJo after checking the ball ran towards the post as he crossed me up a little bit and went in for the dunk. This all happened so fast that I didn't have time to even react or freeze time.
It kind of reminded me of the time when I was facing Aki, the guy was extremely fast way faster than JoJo but for a quick second, it seemed like Jojo speed had accelerated beyond my time freeze but I ignored it and continued to play.
I used Goldeneye to see where he was going next and stole the ball as I plucked it out of his hands. Jojo was going so fast he didn't have time to turn around as I took the mid-range shot to give me 16 points. JoJo had gotten p.i.s.sed as he started cursing all over the place.
I told him "let's continue" as he gave me a raged look, I thought this guy was officially losing his mind and thought that I should hurry up and finish this game before he loses it and starts attacking me. I checked up the ball once again, he had 10 points and I had 16.
I put the speed on him as I tried to dribble past him and just when he thought I was about to lay it up I just threw it up in the air which confused JoJo. That layup was just like Steph Curry's layup. It went up high and came back down making a splash sound.
The whole crowd was excited about this shot and JoJo was confused because he had never seen such a shot before. I shrugged and I said "game point", and continued to say" the next point I score doesn't matter whether it is a three or two but I'm telling you right now it's going to be a 3.
JoJo grinding his teeth as he thought that I was disrespecting him. Jojo pumped himself up as we checked up the ball. JoJo was playing some hard defense now to the point of even fouling me sometimes. I battled with him to try to get an open shot since I only had a few seconds.
Eventually, I settled with using James harden's step-back / travel and shot it up like a rainbow so he wouldn't be able to block it. Jojo was so mad that I shot it like that and thought I was going to miss it. I started blowing kisses to my ladies and started telling the refs they should get my prize ready.
Everybody was confused by this because they could still see the ball was still in the air. They all started laughing as JoJo said: "puny boy has gone crazy, he thinks he's going to make it from the three-point line with a crazy shot like that".
Soon as he finished his sentence the hoop made a splash sound. The whole crowd went quiet, JoJo looked back to see that the ball had gone into the hoop as he fell on the ground shocked, surprised, disappointed he was feeling all kinds of emotions as he felt like he had been cheated and that game should have definitely been his win.
I knew that if I wasn't there JoJo would have definitely won this whole tournament because Ben Simmons definitely was not going to be able to beat this guy, but it's strange that I have never heard of him in the NBA future, maybe he stayed in Australia after all.
It took awhile but eventually, the crowd got excited and started cheering me on for winning the match. The tournament was finally over as they handed me a golden bracelet. I was so mad that I had played this hard in a tournament that I could have gotten injured in for a golden bracelet.
I even thought it was fake but they told me that it was real gold and that it comes from an ancient civilization. They had a couple more but not a lot of it. I simply shrugged and I ignored it as I walked over to my ladies in order for us to leave this place due to my disappointment.
