Ball Of Life

Team's conflict.

It's been 2 months since Tata have joined the team, at this time, Tata faced some difficulties on being on the team, especially with Croix, the team captain. Croix seems to no like Tata, there are times when they are in the game, Croix ignores Tata even if he is an open player with a high probability of scoring and on practices, Croix commands Tata more than any of the player, but Tata wouldn't mind this. As long as Tata could play basketball for his school, he's okay with anything.

EJ: Tata!

Tata: Sup?

EJ: Are you okay?

Tata: Yes??? Why you asked?

EJ: Croix seems to give more and more errands, and you're okay with that? I mean, he's even tasked you to clean all the ball?

Tata: You think so? Well, it's fine by me. As long as I can play, no matter what he task he give me, I'll gladly do it.

EJ: That's some passion for you, HAHAHA.

And so he continues doing what he is asked to do.

And then came Coach B, seeing Tata do what he asked Croix to do.

Coach B: CROOOOOOIIIIIIIX!

Croix: Yes, Coach B?

Coach B: Why is Tata doing the task I've asked you to do? EXPLAIN!

Croix: Uhhmm... well...

Coach B: Uhhhmm??? WELL??? Tata!

Tata: Yes, Coach!?

Coach B: Gather all players around and let each of them get one ball.

Tata: Okay, Coach.

And the all players gathered around the perimeter.

Coach: Everyone! Practice all your shooting! And then you, Croix, you will return all of the ball they shot for 30 minutes! And you will clean it afterwards, you hear that?

Croix: Yes, Coach.

And so the practice shooting began.

Tata does not mean to give Croix a hard time but his shots keeps getting the ball far away from the basket.

And so, the day ends, Tata and EJ were the only ones left, but suddenly Croix approached Tata.

Croix: You! You're the reason why Coach B did this to me and you even make it even hard for me during the punishment.

EJ: Woah! If it weren't for you, you wouldn't be on that situation!

Croix: Shut up, midget! I'm not talking to you!

Tata: Hey, I'm really sorry for what happened. I didn't really intended to give you a hard time, it's just my shots are really off-marked when that happened. Again, I'm sorry!

Croix: So you're playing the victim now?

EJ: 'cause he really is, Croix!

Croix: Again! Shut up!

Tata: Come on, Bro, can we settle this and go home?

Croix: NO! I don't want you on this team! Coach B chose you to be here. And I want you out!

Tata: What?

Croix: Yes, I want you out! Let's settle this with 1-on-1! If you win, I'll leave this team and you be the team captain, but if I win, you're the one who's going to leave!

Tata and EJ: WHAT?

Tata: No, I'm not doing this, man! I don't play basketball for this kind of stuff.

Croix: Oh, you don't really much have a choice. GAME ON!

And so Tata faced Croix on a 1-on-1.
