James Robis Lee: (The Small Forward)
Fffffffffft!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pumito ang referee hudyat na magsisimula na ang laban. I can't get off my eyes on the ball on the referee's hand. In every matches, jump ball was very important. Sometimes the way you starts defines how you'll end.
When the referee throw it on the air, Frey, our team captain catched it. Agad siyang tumakbo sa ring side namin at ipinasa sa akin ang bola. The guy wearing the same number jersey as mine try to block it, but he failed. A victorious smile formed my lips when the ball landed on my hand. I made it!
The game starts!
Dali-dali akong tumakbo patungo sa ring side namin. The point guard on the other team tried to block me but I managed to pass the ball to Kobi, our center. He catched it and throw the ball, but it just hit the rim, then landed on the floor afterwards.
Nakuha ng kalaban ang bola at agad tumakbo sa kabilang ring. The ball captain on the other team throw it...
"3 points shot!" I heard the loud voice of the announcer on the very large speaker at the sides of the court.
Nang mapasa sa amin bola ay namintis ulit. Bumalik ito sa kalaban at nakapuntos muli ng dalawa.
Luckily, with my second attempt, the ball shoots on the hoop. Two points shot.
Ilang minuto pa lang kaming naglalaro pero ramdam ko na ang pagod. Actually I'm not in good condition pero hindi ko sinabi kay Coach dahil paniguradong ibabangko niya lang ako. Hindi ko namalayan na naagaw sa akin ang bola. Tumakbo kami sa kabilang ring, Kobi and Frey tried their best to prevent our opponent to score but it's unsuccessful. Our opponent earn another two points
The next thing happened, Kobi managed to get that ball pero naagaw muli ng kalaban ang bola at nakapuntos ng hindi ko na mabilang pa.
Huminga muna ako ng malalim bago tumakbo ulit. Nakuha ko ang bola at tumakbo sa ring namin. When I try to throw it, the guy on the other team hit me. I don't know if he do it on purpose on it's just an accident.
Pumanig naman sa amin ang referee at tumawag ng personal foul. Now I have a chance for a free throw.
On my first attempt, the ball shoots on the ring but on his second attempt it landed on the floor.
I look at the scoreboard...
San Gabriel Warriors:10
Gen. Luna's Patriots: 3
Kung hindi pa ng nag-freethrow hindi pa kami makakapuntos ng isa. Nakuha muli ng kalaban ang bola at naka-score muli ng three points.
I heaved a desperately sigh and look at the scoreboard. 13/3 lamang ng sampung puntos ang kalaban.
Now, the ball was on my hand. When I was about to throw it, I heard a noise coming from behind.
"Fffffttt!"
Tumawag ng timeout ang coach namin Pabalibag 'kong binitawan ang bola. Mabilis namang nagkumpol ang teammates ko at lumapit kay Coach Iverson.
Isa-isa kaming inabutan ng assistant ng bottled water. My teammates drink it, I didn't mind to drink mine.
"Robis, loosen up a bit you're so tense!"
"I'm sorry coach," I apologized.
Umiling lang siya bago bumaling sa katabi ko. "Okay, Frey you see the guy wearing jersey number 4?
"Their team captain? Yes Coach," Frey answered.
"Keep an eye on him."
"Yes coach."
