Whatever It Takes (ITZY x Male Reader)

Exhibition Match (Part 3)

(A/N): I forgot to mention, each quarter will be 8 minutes long. Sorry I didn't make it clear sooner.

AeZy 30 - 35 IZ*ONE

"Give the ball!" Yujin called as Eunbi immediately passed the ball to the younger girl.

Because of the challenge, Yujin's demeanor started to change and everyone, even you and Eunhwa, noticed it.

Karina, who was marking her, also noticed that Yujin was using more of her strength as she started to get backed down by her.

But despite Yujin's strength, she couldn't seem to push Karina any further and just decided to turn around for a bank shot but she wasn't deep enough in the paint, allowing Yuna to block her shot easily.

*THUMP*

The ball then landed near Giselle as AeZy started running for the fast break. Yuna, who was the nearest one to the basket, had the ball passed to her immediately.

"I told you," Wonyoung said as she caught up to Yuna, "Fast breaks don't work anymore!"

"Are you sure?" Yuna smirked as she challenged her one-on-one. Yuna paused her sprint, causing Wonyoung to take the chance to position herself in front of her, only for Yuna to sprint again, easily passing her and sink the lay up.

*SWISH*

AeZy 32 - 35 IZ*ONE

Yujin clicked her tongue at the previous play, and she was getting more frustrated at herself. She wanted to get back at Yuna, she didn't want to lose to the challenge.

"Unnie! Pass it here!" Yujin called again while aggressively trying to back down Karina.

Eunbi was reluctant at first, knowing that Yuna was on a roll today... but for some reason, she just can't help it...

"Yujin!" Eunbi shouted as she passed the ball to her. As soon as she received the ball, she started backing down Karina once again, or so she thought.

'Yuna's marking me?' Yujin thought, still trying to back her down.

"Surprised?" Yuna snickered as she held her ground, "I'm only going to tell you this once..."

Yuna started pressuring Yujin by trying to swat the ball away from her. Yujin was surprised and nearly fumbled the ball but managed to keep her dribble.

Yujin growled in frustration.

"Yujin, pass it here!" Hyewon yelled, but Yujin just looked at her with fire in her eyes.

"No! I can beat her by myself!" Yujin answered as she gave Yuna a strong bump before taking a jump shot but before she could lift the ball...

"I'm more than enough to shut you down," Yuna had already stolen it.

This created another fastbreak for AeZy. Yuna passed the ball to Ningning so she could run faster.

As expected though, Wonyoung was able to catch up but that didn't matter to Yuna anymore. Yuna slowed down and waited for Wonyoung to cut her off again.

"Want another one-on-one, Wonyoung-ssi?" Yuna said but Wonyoung didn't respond. Instead, she started to pressure Yuna by defending her close.

Yuna wasn't worried as she backed Wonyoung down, easily even. Yuna had noticed this since the first play after the timeout...

Wonyoung isn't that strong compared to her.
