8 Defensive Balls

The weekend was approaching and I was ready to relax. I headed over to John's house after school because it's a Friday and I could do my homework anytime during the weekend. I spot Akua and ask her if she wants to come see me play in our first game and she quickly tells me she's not interested in watching little boys run around with there b.a.l.l.s in the their hands.

I laugh and ask her if she was interested in seeing my b.a.l.l.s in her hands and she ran off blus.h.i.+ng. When I reached John's house he was getting ready to head to the court so I joined him and we went to play some one on one. I really needed to work on my defense since my third ability hasn't activated yet and unless I get the ball first I will be screwed if the other team started and never missed a point.

I let John get the ball first since he was taller than me. He tried to use his body to push me in the post and lay it up but I quickly went around him and stole the ball. He was mad I stole the ball but by the time he reached me the ball had already left my hand as a rainbow that way he had no chance to block it and I made the bucket.

We continued to play until John was tired and ready to go home, I had learned alot about defense in this game so I was feeling very hopeful that I could hold my own against anyone.Eazy (mc) practiced everyday until the day of the first game came up. My mom, Rasta,Flo,Opal,John and his family,Shawn and even Akua showed which surprised me.

In the changing room everyone was looking at me strangely so I asked Momba what happened and he told me I won't be starting since I don't come to practice and that someone else took my spot. I didn't even get mad because I really don't feel like playing the whole game so I went to Coach K and asked him if I even have some playing time and he told me that I'm going to be used as a secret weapon that comes in at the end of the games to close the upcoming seasons games.

I thanked him and left to go put on my uniform. I don't normally see my body but when I finally do I notice I'm built like a horse a full six pack and some muscles gains I quickly shake the thought of having such a fine toned body and run out to go sit on the bench and watch the game until it's my turn to s.h.i.+ne. My family and friends get mad and think I'm not going to play because I've been sitting on the bench for a while but I quickly calm them down and tell them I'm only playing the last four minutes.

Tom and hack( SF and PF) were scoring most of the points while Darrel was setting them up. My replacement Eric couldn't score a single point due to his nerves of being in front of a crowd of people. Momba (center) had already grabbed 13 rebounds and made 11 points. They were playing great but the team they were facing weren't pushovers either they were winning by 3 points because their star player Yos.h.i.+ was scoring like a mad man.

He already had 34 points and didn't seem to be slowing down. With 4 minutes left on the clock Coach K finally put me in the game and we were down by 6 points. My family and friends immediately got energized and cheered me on when they saw me warming up. Darrel sneered and I glared at him as a warning to pa.s.s me the ball.

I finally sub in and Eric signed a relief because he was tired. Darrel quickly gives the ball to me and Yos.h.i.+ even tho he's tired comes to cover me I smirked and took the shot so fast he didn't have time to react. I turned away to go play defense the whole gym was quiet and was wondering why I walked away when the ball was still in the air.

In the next moment all everyone heard was the sound of the net and the whole place erupted with cheers. I quickly make work of the team by catching up and pa.s.sing them in scores. Yos.h.i.+ is p.i.s.sed at this point and couldn't believe they were hiding such a player until the last minute. The rest of the game was uneventful so we went on to win by 9 points and my family friends came down to congratulate me on my first game.

John's father said he would like to see me play against Micheal Jordan one day and I laughed it off. Akua came up to me and said "good game didn't know you could ball and were the star player of the team". I respond by saying "there's alot of things you don't know about me how about we talk more over a nice dinner say tomorrow night at 8".

She smirked and said "sorry honey but you are a hundred years too early to ask me out on a date and do you think my family would let a ten year old take me out on date at least wait till we get to high school", with that she winked at me and walked away. I forgot Im a ten year old boy now and need to slow down on girls. I can't wait to have s.e.x again because well I still have urges as 60 year old mind. My mother takes us to burger King to celebrate our victory.
