"There's less than two minutes in the clock."
"Will he make it?"
"The ball is in their court, George. He just needs to make this count."
Two round voices filtered through the loudspeakers. Their commentaries came after another.
The tension was so thick that the raven-haired boy at the center of the Crocus Arena could taste it. Bullets of sweat dropped on the floor. Stubborn black bangs clung to his forehead. Gray Fullbuster's heart drummed along the sound of the ball hitting the floor. He caught his breath looking for an opening. His eyes darted to the number on the score-board: 72-68. His team was on the lead but he wanted, no, needed to put a difference between the scores.
Gray kept a low stance; his trained feet, along with his body, rocked back and forth as he bounced the ball with good and precise control. He faked a step to the left only to change direction but two tall fellows quickly blocked him.
"You guys like me that much, huh?"
The two have been following him since the beginning of the game. They made it their mission not to allow the Captain near the ring.
"Sorry but this is not the threesome I was looking for."
He patted himself internally; proud at the witty quip he threw at his guards. He congratulated himself then when he saw their faces twitched in anger.
Early on his career, when Gray was still a rookie, he has learned the magic of trash talk.
However, he had to admit, the two tall guards were hard to shake off. He was struggling but he wasn't going to show it. Not to Overly Attached Ex-Girlfriend No. 1 and No. 2.
Before the Fiore Knights became a big name in basketball, they were just pretty faces fresh from High School. The first championship Gray's team bagged was when he was just a rookie. His last minute three-point shot won them the most coveted Earthland Cup of 20X1. From then on, Gray became the "Last Minute Miracle Worker"; pulling off three pointers in under a minute. Now, he was Team Captain.
Player No. 23 tried to steal the ball from the Captain but the latter had the reflexes of a cat; he successfully evaded the steal.
"Whoa, slow down Sharon."
"Let go of the ball, Dufus. They're not your testicles."
Gray had to admit, that was a little funny but he wasn't going to laugh.
