When It Comes To Them (BoyxBoy)

Copy

My heart raced like crazy and I could feel the blood rushing through my veins as I scored the three pointer. The crowd went wild and I watched as the ball was snatched up by the other team, they didn't have it for long as my vice captain swiped it from them. He tossed it to one of our players who ran and faked a play before tossing it back to him, allowing him to score a dunk.

The crowd erupted and I looked to see the twins as they cheered on next to coach who stood tall with a smirk on her face. I was tossed the ball and dribbled it down the court swishing past the opposition players as I went. One of them stood in front of me, he was big but that just seemed to make him slow.

I faked a pass to my vice captain but tossed it up in the air, Toby one of our taller players practically leaped over another player to land another slam dunk. A whistle was blown and everyone was glad for half time, as the other team practically collapsed on the court with a few of my players.

 We got over to coach, she switched up some of the players and I and my vice captain would return to the court with three different players. That took everyone by surprise when the whistle went and it was time for the second play. By the end of the game we had knocked the other teams cocky players down a few pegs and our coach had this evil grin on her face.

We had mopped the floor with three teams in one day, the games had been cut to half of their lengths. It was mainly because we had too many teams to play full games and because theses matches weren't really official. Of course the last four teams left standing would play full games to really test their strength and I knew out team was going to be one of them.

We showered in the gym showers and coach had some of the other players rub us down in heat gel to relive the stress on our muscles. I had to carry the twins back to the apartment by myself, but was lucky enough that only Liam fell asleep. Mia was all too happy to help me fetch both of their bags so it wasn't too hard to get inside.

I got them dinner and then we were all out in minutes, Liam and Mia climbing into my bed for the night, for whatever reason I couldn't understand. I slept awkwardly with them lying all over me and was able to escape to sleep in their room later that night.

The next day was the same, everyone sat at a large table waiting for coach to make us something to eat. When she came out we were able to stuff our faces and had enough time to digest everything before we had to go on the courts. The court was set up in a few minutes and then the stands were filled with friends and family of each player.

I didn't have anyone beside the twins watching for me, well beside the whole entire school because I was the team captain and they're waiting to see if I would fuck up. We came face to face with our opponents and my entire school erupted with loud boos. Coach made eyes contact with each of us that would play today and we nodded before the game began.

With the way they played we realized that their best players had probably just passed out of the school and these set here was their replacement. I hated when that happened, it made you feel kind of bad if you ended up beating them. Some teams would lose to teams like this because they were afraid of how shitty they would look if they won against a team like this.

I wasn't saying that teams like this couldn't have good players, it was just that they were now feeling out each other again and it wouldn't be anything strange for their play to be awkward. There was nothing to celebrate when everything went just as I had thought and everyone seemed to know it.

We took a break before going on to our next opponent and I could tell that they were the opposite of the team we had just faced. They were mostly made up of seniors and junior with their newer players sitting on the bench. I was confident it would be tough to beat them but we would feel better about the out come.

The referee blew the whistle and I jumped for it barely being able to tip it to my side of the court. The supporters went crazy as one of our heavy players caught the ball and grasped it tight before he dribbled it down the court. He scored us two points on the first play and we made sure that that would set the rhythm for the rest of the game.

I was tossed the ball and stood on the three point line and shot the ball up in the air, I watched as it went straight through the hoop before going after the player that had caught it. Suddenly they were bombarding me and Marlon with two on ones, we rolled our eyes at the foolish move. They just assumed that we were doing most of the work and neglected the fact that the other three players were all seniors.

They played a three player dribble as they passed it around the one player over and over until they reached the court and we couldn't help but laugh at how flustered he looked. Marlon broke away from the other players who decided to switch up their play. Soon the ball was shot to me and I took my stance, I shot for the three and it went it.

The crowd on our end went crazy and we went on with the game, it was safe to say we beat them when the board showed fifty to nineteen. They were good players but with the way coach had been training us it wouldn't be easy for anyone to beat us. We mopped the floor with the team that followed and then we all headed back to our places.

The rest of the week went the same and just like I thought we stood next to the three other teams that had made it into the main games. Andrei's team was one of them and I could feel his eyes on me as he smirked trying to get my attention. The four teams would play today and then the two winning teams would play tomorrow night so we had sufficient time to rest.

The team that we were going up against was one from like two states away and the first thing we noticed was that they were a mixed team. The number of boys to girls were the exact same and they gave off this intimidating vibe. It didn't bother our team but coach did give us a talk about not being too cocky and then getting our asses kicked.

I wasn't going to lose, I wouldn't tolerate it, one because losing would just give us all a bad name and secondly because I really wanted to play against Andrei's team. I was hoping that he'd win and we'd play against each other tomorrow, but I took into a deep breath and focused on today.

The other team copied us and sent up their captain, vice captain and three of their senior players and it hit me that they had been watching us play. I whistled and everyone looked at me, I gave them a quick signal and everyone just blinked before looking back at the other team that looked rather confused.

When the whistle went off, we let them have the first ball, I watched every move they made and how they played, soon the first quarter was done and they were ten points ahead. Coach and everyone in the team remained silent as our school, chanted something or the other with our borrowed cheer squad getting more and more aggressive. 

The whistle went of and I slapped everyone on their back making all of them let out a loud cheer, it was really time to play now. I snatched the ball from our opponent and tossed it to Marlon, who tossed it to Jeff and in a second it was back in my hands. I wasted no time in scoring us three points, before snatching the ball from one of their players and giving it to Alex who scored us two points.

Marlon was the next to hit a three pointer and then we landed three dunks in a row making the school go wild as we took the lead. The other team's ego began deflate, I got the ball in my hand and tossed the ball to Marlon who landed another slam dunk and the crowd went wild as we went on to beat the other team.
