Every time we inbounded the ball our team-mates would pa.s.s it to us right away as we faced off against each other. I was surprised to see that my time freeze ability worked on Gin but it seemed to be nerfed as it was just only one second.  

I didn't mind it because that's all I really needed to mess up his offense. I kept knocking the ball out of his hands while he was going full-speed ahead like a train. Gin got a little annoyed by it because he wasn't able to take the lead back and we were starting to pull away from him in scores.

Gin was also annoyed by the picks my team-mates were setting for me. Gin was not getting any picks from his teammates as he started to yell at them saying they should set picks for him. I started to get bored because it wasn't much of a challenge anymore after I figured out his game. I kept unleas.h.i.+ng a barrage of three's on Gin.

I started to think that if Aki was in the game it would pressure me more. Next thing I know it the Miami team's coach had called a timeout as he started to tell Gin that Aki has to come in the game because they were losing by 10 points and he's not able to stop me anymore. 

I had scored most of the points for our team, Gin ground his teeth as he said "fine let him come in", Aki got excited as he stood up and started taking off his jumper suit. Aki got more comfortable in his shorts and jersey as the game started back up. I noticed Aki had come back in the game.

Now I knew the game was about to get exciting. The game started once again after the timeout, this time Aki and Gin were covering me as they double-teamed me. I quickly pa.s.sed it over to Momba who had a mismatch as he did a thunderous dunk over the poor guy guarding him. 

Since they brought Aki back I was going to get my team members more involved. I already had 90-plus points so I didn't mind sharing the rock at this point as we casually played. I wasn't able to use my time freeze on Aki so it was a bit difficult but I was able to use Golden Eye on him, I started to wonder if they had the same ability as me and if that's why they cancel out each other. 

Gin started to get hot as he disregarded his body and started taking it into the post more. I was surprised by this because he was being so reckless as he had landed awkwardly again, but he walked it off. They were losing by 10 points at first but now they had come back to within five with two minutes left on the clock.

I also decided to turn it up a notch as Gin had Aki guard me while he went to guard Momba since he was dominating.I decided to put the skates on Aki as I crossed him up and went into the post. Gin appeared out of nowhere as I was about to dunk it, Gin got up there with me and I knew he was going to block me. 

Idid a 360 turn around and threw the ball up behind me as it went straight up and came back down inside the hope. Everybody was surprised by this move as I finally started to take advantage of my new ability acrobatics. I continue to do similar plays as Gin was feeling helpless. The score didn't improve much when the Miami coach finally benched all the starters because there was only a few seconds left in the game.

The whole crowd started cheering while the commentators made fun of Gin due to him promising a win for the Miami team, but he did not deliver so everybody was criticizing him. Gin was on the bench smiling, everybody wondered why he looked so happy that he had finally taken a loss but I could tell why he was happy.

I could tell that he had fun in this game being the number one sometimes could be lonely but now that he had a rival to look up to. Gin was pretty excited and couldn't wait for our next game. I could only shake my head because I thought of what he was thinking.

The game finally ended as the place went wild. All my family members had come to watch so it was pretty exciting for me especially when I saw Isabella in the stands cheering for me. Gin approached me as he said," I would like to become friends with you and challenge you on a more casual stage".

I quickly agreed and said, "yeah having a rival has been pretty fun, we definitely have to link up one day to have more games". We shook hands and exchanged numbers. After the game Coach took us all out to celebrate, Rihanna wasn't able to show up to today's game but Sandra was there as we all met up at a famous local restaurant. The place was packed as we all talked about how great that game was. We hadn't felt that way since the first Aki game due to all the other teams not even trying when they faced off against us.

Coach made a speech about how he loves us and how next year we were going to dominate once again. The next day I left the school to head home to hang out with Isabella as it had been a few weeks since I last hung out with her. I ended up taking her out for some fun and games. After we went to the gym to play a game of 1 on 1 as she almost beat me. Of course, I was going easy on her.
