On The Clock (Book 2)

Chapter 35: Tied Up

I stood there, and I stared at just what it was that was in fact in front of me just now, all at the exact same time too, at that. As it was that I seemed to stare at the rim. As I had the ball in my hand of course, not dribbling it, and not moving what so ever.
I knew that I could not just simply stand there and stare at it for ever how ever, at that. As I knew that I would in fact get a foul called on that, all at the exact same time too. As it was that I could not waste my time standing here and staring at the simple free throw that I needed to make.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have simply just thought on that for just a few more moments of time, all at the exact same time too. That was when it was that I just then did in fact just seem to breathe in a little bit to my self of course. As it was that I just then did in fact just seem to toss up the first free throw.
I knew that I was shit at free throws, all at the exact same time too. As it was that you would think would be the opposite for me. As it was that I knew that I was a point guard of course, all at the exact same time too.
How ever, I was the worst free throw shooter on the entire team. As it was that I hit my free throws at a measley 50% rate, all at the exact same time as well, none the less. As that 50% was about to drop to 49, all at the exact same time too.
As it was that the free throw was almost an air ball at that. As it just barely seemed to hit of the side of the front of the rim, at that. As it bounced right back at me, all at the exact same time too, at that. As the ref didn't even need to toss it back to me, all at the exact same time as well.
I kind of groaned as it was that I had noticed that it was the case. As it was that I just then did in fact just seem to go right on ahead, at that. And I just then did in fact just seem to start to speak to my self a little bit under my own breathe, at that.
"Come on Trevor... You are never going to make the NBA at this rate..." I said to my self, all at the exact same time too, none the less. As it was that I just then did in fact just seem to gulp a bit to my self, all at the exact same time too, all at once, at that.
I knew that I still had several years before it was that I needed to worry about that of course. But I still kind of felt like it was that this was a very important moment. As it was in fact a close game with less than 30 seconds to go in the half. As it was that we were in fact down by 3 points, all at the exact same time too.
As it was that I did in fact just seem to start to think on that for just a little bit more time. That was when it was that I just then did in fact just seem to start to go right on ahead, all at the exact same time too. And I once again began to speak to my self a little bit under my breathe, just as it was that I had in fact done before.
"Come in... Do some thing good for once in your life..." I said to my self, all at the exact same time too. As it was that it was some thing that I said to my self a lot. Most of the time when it was that I was in fact laying in bed just staring at the ceiling during the night, all at the exact same time too.
As much as it was that it seemed to be a negative way of thinking. I did in fact just seem to use that as a little bit of some motivation, all at the exact same time as well. As it was that I knew that it was that it did in fact just so happen to be true, at that.
As it was that I had continued to have felt that way, none the less. That was when it was that I just then did in fact just seem to start to go right on ahead, none the less. And I then did in fact just seem to look right on over towards where my mother was at.
I cracked a bit of a smile on my own face, none the less. As it was that I saw that she was in fact smiling at me just now, as well. As it was that I felt like I almost could hear her talking to me just now, none the less.
"Come on Trevor! You've got this! I believe in you!" Her voice seemed to ring in my head. As it was that it was usually some thing that she had to say to me. When ever it was that I did in fact just seem to have my head down, all at the exact same time too.
As it was that I did in fact love my mother to death. As it was that I knew that it was in fact true as to her telling me as such a thing like that. As it was that I just then did in fact just seem to start to go right on ahead, all at the exact same time too.
And I just then did in fact just seem to simply just breathe in quite a bit to my self, at that. As it was that I then did in fact just seem to simply just keep my self as calm and as normal as I felt like I possibly could. As I just then did in fact just seem to nod a little bit to my self, all at once.
As I just then did in fact just seem to let the ball fly out of my hand, all at the exact same time too. As it was that I then did in fact just watch it as it flew perfectly up. And it went straight in to the net, almost as if I was hitting free throws as if I was in fact Steve Nash, none the less.
I cracked a short lived smile on my face, at that. As it was that I just then did in fact just seem to start to hear Xavier begin to yell from not all too far away from me. As I of course did in fact just seem to start to begin to listen as to just what ever it was that he felt like he must say to me just now.
"Alright boys! Get back on defense!" He yelled, as it was that I just then did in fact just seem to start to see that it was, none the less. That my team mates did exactly as to just what it was that their coach had told them all to do. As it was that we all then did in fact just seem to start to jog down the court to go on defense, none the less.
Just as it was that I seemed to cross the half court line my self, all at the exact same time too. That was when I just then did in fact just seem to start to turn my head around. As it was that I just then did in fact just seem to see that it was.
That their point guard was in fact just seeming to jog up the court him self, none the less. As he did in fact just seem to be dribbling the ball in his hand, all at the exact same time too. As it was that it had already been clear to me this entire game, none the less. That he was an awful ball handler, all at the exact same time too.
I had already gotten a few steals this game, and I was almost tempted to try to do it once again. Until I stopped my self, all at the exact same time too, at that. As I just then did in fact just seem to start to speak out loud, all at the exact same time too.
"No... I can't get my 3rd foil right now... The team needs me..." I said to my self, all at the exact same time too. As it was that I just then did in fact just seem to start to shake my head a little bit to my self, all at the exact same time too. As it was that I then did in fact just seem to simply keep my eyes on the kid that was coming right at me.
As he did in fact just seem to start to come up close to me, all at the exact same time too. This time he did in fact just seem to stay a few feet in front of me, at that. As it was clear that he was worried him self that I might try to snatch the ball from him just now, all at the exact same time too.
I kind of just seemed to let out a little bit of a soft sigh of some sort of relief to my self. As it was that I listened to all of the wet shoes go across the court from behind me, at that. As it was that it was clear that the offense was in fact trying to make a play just now, all at the exact same time too.
How ever, based off of the fact that it was that the point guard was not passing the ball just now. It was clear to me that no one was able to get open, none the less. As Xavier always seemed to have an amazing scheme on defense, all at the exact same time too, none the less, at that.
As it was that I just then did in fact just seem to start to go right on ahead, all at once. And I just then did in fact just seem to start to speak to my self a little bit under my breathe. As it was clear to me that the game clock was probably going to run out, and they were just going to hold on to the ball for one last had shot.
I kind of felt like it was that I was fine with that, none the less. As it was that I knew that we needed a new offensive game plan in the locker room, none the less, at that. As it was that I just then did in fact just seem to start to speak out loud to my self once again, all at the exact same time too.
"Alright... What will it be?" I said to my self, at that. As it was that I just then did in fact just seem to roll my eyes a little bit, at that. As it was that I was in fact almost tempted to go right on ahead. And I was almost about to move closer to the point guard, all at the exact same time too.
How ever, just as it was that I was about to do as such a thing like that. That was when it was that I just then did in fact just seem to start to see that it was, none the less. That the point guard just then did in fact just seem to toss the ball to one of his team mates, all at the exact same time as well.
As it was that just as it was that it was in fact going on, none the less. I also did in fact just seem to hear some yelling from the bench, all at the exact same time too, at that. As it was clear that Xavier was in fact not all too happy about some thing, at that.
As I simply just seemed to continue to stand there and stare at the point guard, as he stood there and did nothing, at that. As it was that it was clear that he was waiting for some one to shoot the ball. As I did in fact just seem to start to begin to listen as to just what ever it was that Xavier felt like he just yell out loud, all at the exact same time too.
"Come on boys! Get on your man!" He yelled, as it was that I just then did in fact just seem to turn my head around, at that. Just as soon as it was that it had come clear to me that the point guard was not going to move. As it was that I wanted to see what it was that Xavier was talking about just now, all at the exact same time too.
I looked at the shooting guard that did in fact just seem to be about to shoot the ball just now. As it was clear to me that Cody must have gotten lost in the mix some where. As he was in fact guarding some one completely different than who it was that he should be guarding right now.
I was tempted to go and try at least contest the 3 point shot, all at the exact same time too. But I knew if that was in fact the case, none the less. Than it would leave my man a wide open lane for an easy lay up. And I would more than likely take the blame for it, all at the exact same time too.
I also realized that I did in fact not have time to get to the guy that fast. As it was that I just then did in fact just seem to start to watch as it was. That the basketball did in fact just seem to soar through the air, at that. As it was that I kind of gulped a little bit to my self, at that.
As it was that I almost felt like it was that I did in fact want to close my eyes just now. But I stopped my self from doing as such a thing like that. As I just then did in fact just seem to simply speak to my self a little bit under my own breathe, at that.
"Well... Shit..." I said to my self, as it was that I was fairly certain with the way that they had been shooting tonight, that this was going to go in. Even if it was that I knew that their good shooter was in fact on the bench just now, never the less.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have stood there and blinked my eyes a few times. That was when it was that I then did in fact just seem to see that much to my surprise. And to the both of the team surprise, all at the exact same time too.
That it was actually quite a really bad miss, as it was nearly an air ball. As it was that it just simply hit off of the back board, all at the exact same time too, at that. And it went perfectly in to the hands of Pearce, all at the exact same time too.
That was when it was that I did in fact not seem to hesitate to react, all at the exact same time too. As I then did in fact just seem to start to sprint up the court, at that. As it was that I knew that this could be a fast break opportunity, and also the fact that we didn't have much time, never the less.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have done as such a thing like that, all at once. I did in fact just seem to hear the voice of Xavier. As I listened to what ever it was that he needed to yell from the side lines, as I sprinted down the court.
"Come on Pearce! Like a quarterback!" He yelled, all at once. As it was that I felt like it did in fact not make any sort of sense to me as to just what it was that he had even just said. As it was that I knew that Pearce was in fact a wide receiver for the football team, all at the exact same time too.
As it was that I just simply shook my head, all at once. As I got my mind off of all of the rest of those other thoughts, all at once. As I saw that Pearce was doing exactly what it was that Xavier had in fact just told him to do, never the less.
As I did in fact just seem to hear the crowd cheering, all at the exact same time too. As it was that the ball seemed to be going at perfect speed right on over towards me, none the less. As I did in fact just seem to catch the ball, as if I was the receiver all of the sudden, at that.
As I then did in fact just seem to start to go right on over towards just where it was that the basket was at. As I did in fact have a big smile on my face as well, at that. As it was that I knew that no one was going to be able to stop me, all at the exact same time too.
I was tempted to slow down, as it was that I felt like I had a free easy lane for a lay up. So long as it was that I did in fact not rush it, never the less. As that was until I did in fact just seem to notice as to just how much time was in fact left on the clock, all at the exact same time too.
As it was that I saw that there just so happened to be 2 seconds, as it was that I was in fact just simply jogging past the free throw line just now. That was when it was that I just then did in fact just seem to start to speed up, all at the exact same time too.
As I ignored all of the noise that was all around me, all at once. As I then breathed in a little bit of a rough sigh to my self, at that. As I also did in fact just seem to start to speak to my self a little bit under my own breathe once again, at that.
"Come on... You've gotta make this..." I said to my self. As just as it was that I had in fact said what it was that I had said to my self, none the less. That was when it was that I just seemed to almost trip on my shoes, all at the exact same time too, at that.
As it was that I stuttered a little bit, all at the exact same time too. As I did in fact hold the ball in my hands, all at the exact same time too. As I realized that I had in fact traveled, all at the exact same time as well.
I expected to hear the refs whistle blow, calling that. But it was not the fact, as I knew that the only whistle that was about to blow. Was the one that did in fact signal that the half was in fact over, none the less.
As just as it was that I had in fact just seemed to have thought that way. That was when it was that I just then did in fact just seem to let the ball out of my hand, at that. As I then did in fact just seem to watch as it did in fact just seem to go right on over towards the basket, none the less.
As it was that the game clock did in fact just seem to expire. As I heard the loud beeping all around me, all at the exact same time too. As the ball then did in fact just seem to go right in to the hoop, none the less.
I cracked a smile on my face as soon as it was that I realized that it was the case, none the less. As it was that I just then did in fact just seem to hear the loud voice of Xavier once again. As I did in fact turn my head on over towards him, at that.
As he did in fact have a big smile on his face, very much to my own surprise, none the less. As I then did in fact just seem to start to feel a lot better about every thing. As I then did in fact just seem to start to begin to listen as to just what ever it was that he felt like he must even yell out loud, all at the exact same time too.
"That's what I am talking about! Perfectly drawn up!" He said, as if it was that we had practiced that kind of thing before. Which I knew was in fact not the case what so ever. As it was that I just then did in fact just seem to roll my eyes a little bit, all at the exact same time as well.
As I then did in fact just seem to just breathe in a bit to my self, all at once, once again. Doing as such a thing like that of course. I then did in fact just seem to start to begin to walk towards where it was that my team mates were at, none the less.
As I saw that they were all cheering on Pearce just now. Which I could not at all blame them for that being the case, all at the exact same time too. As it was that I just then did in fact just seem to start to hear the voice of Braxton, all at once, at that.
As he just then did in fact just seem to start to cheer on my team mate him self, at that. As it was that I kind of just then did in fact just seem to look at him with my eyes wide. As I then did in fact just seem to start to begin to listen as to just what ever it was that he felt like he must even say just now.
"Holy shit Pearce! Has coach never tried you out as quarterback on the team before?" He said to Pearce, all at the exact same time too. As it was that I kind of rolled my eyes a little bit, all at the exact same time too. Though I also knew that he did in fact have a bit of a fair point on just what it was that he had even said.
I was still a little bit annoyed by it how ever, none the less. As I knew that we were in fact playing basketball just now, at that. And that we were not at all playing football, all at the exact same time too.
I simply did in fact just seem to shake my head a little bit to my self, all at the exact same time too. As I felt like I was about to go right on ahead. And that I was about to say some thing to all of my team mates of course.
Until it was, that I just then did in fact just seem to start to realize that it was, none the less. That Pearce was in fact just seeming to start to respond right back on over towards Braxton just now, none the less. As it was that I just then did in fact just seem to get my eyes on to him, at that.
As I did in fact just seem to stare at Pearce with my eyes wide. I did in fact just seem to let out another little bit of a soft sigh to my self. As I just then did in fact just seem to start to begin to listen as to just what ever it was that he had to say just now, all at the exact same time too, at that.
"No... Its all in the hand... I fit much better as a receiver..." He said, as it was that he did in fact just seem to have a big smile on his face. Just as soon as it was that he had in fact just seemed to have said as to just what it was that he had said to Braxton.
I kind of just rolled my eyes a little bit, seeing the fact that he had his eyes on his own hands. As it was that it almost seemed like he was in fact in a little bit of a trance right now. As I kind of just shook my head a little bit to my self once again.
As I did in fact just seem to look away from him, all at once. And we did in fact just seem to start to head right on over to the side lines. Which it was that I saw that our coach was patiently waiting for us just now.
That was when it was that I just then did in fact just seem to start to realize, all at once. That Xavier was now beginning to start to go right on ahead, all at the exact same time too. And he was in fact starting to speak up to us all, all at the exact same time as well.
Seeing as to the fact that it was in fact the case. I thought that he too was in fact saying some thing to Pearce, all at the exact same time too. Until it was that I just then, actually did in fact just seem to start to begin to listen as to just what ever it was that he felt like he must even say just now, all at the exact same time as well.
"Great job fighting back in to this one boys! We are going to need to change some things up in the locker room... Just good to see that we are still tied up..."
