With the game just moments away The opposing team didn't wanna play because they felt that it was unfair that it was a one versus five. Well at least one of the players didn't wanna play until the coach gripped him up. "Listen here boy, That's a easy fucking win right there. We are not quitting just because he is by himself Now warm up so you can get the fuck on the court." The coach said. Chase looked at the coach like he was dumb. Chloe looked at Chase and she noticed he was worried. She didn't know what to do, she just shouted. "Come on bro you got this, do it for your team." That only made him more worried.
Suddenly the players got set onto the court for tip-off. The entire crowd got loud. Roaring and chanting loudly. "Let's go offense." when they switched to defense the crowd chanted "let's go defense,let's go" with all of that going chase couldn't really think straight. He was confused on what to do; he couldn't even make a game plan. So there were just a lot of turnovers and a lot of missed shots. He was pissed with everything going on on top of the fouls. He just felt like a disappointment. He felt like giving up. He was trying his hardest and playing with his heart by halftime the score was 60-0. "This is the worst I've ever played, " Chase said to chloe. "Listen It's five against one now if this was a one on one you would be winning right now. You are the greatest player I know. You just gotta listen to the ball.It might not be a human but it will tell you when to steal it, when to block it and when to shoot. It's all in the ball you out there by yourself running a full court game. You better start breaking some ankles and look at these people as people you dislike. You better act like you playing for money because that score got this crowd laughing at you I know I'm gonna get in trouble later for saying this but get out there and shut them the fuck up." Chloe said. Chase laughed "No you won't get in trouble I think it is time to shut this crowd up. They are gonna get real quiet when they see one player beating their little team of five. Suddenly Chase remembered all the bad things that ever happened to him. Like how he almost lost football forever and every time he thinks about the moment he was shot he thinks about the time his mom pulled a gun on him. The moment his mother could have taken his life from him to protect some random stranger. So Chase went back onto the court five minutes early he put his headphones in and started shooting threes and dunking. He started ignoring everyone until the game started back up he was asked to remove his headphones but he told the referee that he is playing by himself so he doesn't really have to hear anything then he remembered he has to hear the calls. So he gave his sister his headphones. Then he started to play ball. Trying to make a come from behind win. Heartbeat racing as he dribbled the ball down the court. He stepped back to shoot a three once he made it he really got his momentum. "Get ready because I'm about to show y'all who I am." Chase said. "Hey Chase It's not time to celebrate your down by fiftyseven!" Chole yelled at him. He got Back on defense and got a steal for a layup. By the end of the third quarter he managed to comeback 50-75.The fourth quarter was just different. Chase turned into a straight up beast. He was Handling his defender. This man literally blocked a defender and told him to get out of his paint. So he got more excited as the game gained closer. With him only five points from tying the game up he went up for a dunk and he got a foul and he made it. So he made a freethrow and ended up only being down by two points. The other team took the ball down court but ended up stepping out of bounds so Chase took it up court and instead of tying it he decided he would take the one point lead but he didn't. As he was shooting the three he ended up getting fouled. So he got a chance to go up by three.he missed one free throw and made the other so he went up by two 96-98 the crowd got real quiet. He was proud of himself; the smile on his face didn't last long though. He knew he had to hold the lead for three more minutes. Plus he knew he couldn't let them take that lead back otherwise the crowd would get loud again. He knew he couldn't afford to fouls or turn the ball over. He was thinking smart. He knew the same players had been on the court the entire time so they were tired. He realized the coach was being greedy and tried to take advantage to keep the starters in the game so that they could keep scoring with the lead on top of playing against one player. The coach was happy that they were up by two with 5 seconds left on the clock. However Chase had the ball. Since they called a timeout they checked him the ball at half court. Chase then shot a three in the middle of his shot he was fouled but it wasn't called. Luckily he made the shot for the win. The look on his face said it all he was shocked. Chloe was extremely proud of her brother. He did a good job, he literally just made history with what he just did. He just beat a top five team by himself.In their own stadium. The Coach was pissed. "What in the hell was that, y'all just lost to one person. It was five of y'all that's embarrassing. Y'all just fucking disappointed me and y'all fans y'all are going to work once everyone leaves this stadium. Let's give this guy a handshake and congratulate him." The opposing team Coach said. Everyone gave him a handshake but the coach whispered something to chase. "That was a good game young fellow you made a come from behind win down by sixty that is fucking amazing your a talented young man keep going you got guts for what you did. You stepped on a court and defeated a top five team by yourself, keep going." Chase was proud of himself. He continued to shake everyone's hand after that. Chase and the coaches drove to the airport to catch the plane. Suddenly Chase got a phone call while they were driving. "I see you kept your promise that's good what you did out there. I hope to be back by the playoffs. Well at least you will have the rest of the team. We are about to be in the playoffs. That is amazing. One more game away from staying the number one seed in the playoffs. We did it. See but you worked the hardest to keep this team alive. You keep everyone going and you gave some of us a second chance and others an opportunity. Now we have a chance to prove ourselves. We are all going to college next year. Hopefully we can all get a chance to play basketball." Armani said. Chase let her know that he was about to get on the plane so he couldn't talk. She said me too and hung up. Chase caught onto what she said only a few minutes after she hung up. Suddenly Chase was sitting down waiting for the plane to take off and he heard a voice saying good job bestfriend. When he looked up he saw Armani standing with a smile on her face. "What are you standing there for sit down,You shouldn't be standing on your leg. The moment she sat down, Chase gave her a big hug. He was just so happy to see her and thankful that she will be at the next game with him. He felt that although she wouldn't be playing in the game he had more support. "Don't you think you should get some sleep?" Armani asked. Chase refused to go to sleep at first but then he agreed that maybe he should. He laid his head on Armani's shoulder and tried to go to sleep. She just ended up going to sleep also. The coaches just made a game plan for him to win.
