Chapter 15: Tigers

Rasta, Flo, and Opal were still taking their classes and supporting Eazy by showing up to his games. Sandra had also grown a little bit, and now she was able to move on to the next base with Eazy but still held onto her virginity, which Eazy respected; that didn't mean she still couldn't help him release some of his pent up desires sometimes.Today they were going to play against the best team in the high school Junior varsity league. The tigers which had his nightmare rivals the three bingo's Durant, Westbrook, and Harden. They had stuck together even after middle school and came to high school already trying to dominate it too.Momba looked at the team with a frown and looked at Eazy to see his reaction, but to his surprise, Eazy looked like he was raring to go with fire in his eyes. The game started with Momba winning the jump ball and passing it to Iso. Iso than dribbled hard into the paint and was about to lay it up but saw Durant coming up to block, causing him to smirk and throw the ball behind him in an alley-oop to Momba for the slam dunk causing the crowd to go wild with cheers.Westbrook brought the ball down and tried to make a dunk to get his team excited, but I froze the time and made the steal and ran to the other court while harden was on my trail. I quickly jumped from the three-point line leaning forward and didn't even have to activate my skill to make this jumper, which was all net due to it being a rainbow shot. The crowd erupted again, and Westbrook was just shocked that it happened to him.He quickly shook it off and directed the attack again, but this time he passed it to Durant. Durant then tried to speed pass flex(pf) since he was taller than him, but I froze time once again just to mess with them and stole the ball, causing Durant to look at his hand and not even go back for defense leaving flex open for an easy dunk. I quickly told flex to hold the ball until we got back to the defense because Durant was the only one on the other side.This notion caused Westbrook to grind his teeth because he was thinking of doing just that. I laughed at him and gave him the Mutombo finger shake, saying "no no no," and the whole crowd then erupted at the said time saying "no no no." This caused me to trip and laugh. I did one more time freeze and saved the rest for the end of the game. When they finally got their first point, the score was 11 -2.They didn't even have the fire in their eyes anymore, by half time it was 55-30. They lost all hope and couldn't stop Momba and I. We ended the game quickly after that with the score at 101- 75. They tried to make a comeback after the half, but it was in vain, especially after I crossed harden up, causing him to leave the game with a swollen ankle. It felt so good to get my revenge from Middle School.The game had ended, and a crowd came pouring in as if we had just won the championship. Sandra had to rush up to me and give me a nice kiss on the lips, while everybody cheered around us. The Tigers team just looked dejected at this point. Durant came up to me and said: "good job man, I got mad respect for you." I shook his hand and told him that they did that to us last time and that this game was for the Lost we took back in middle school. He laughed and then left with his teammates.That night we all went to celebrate at a restaurant. We ate, chatted, celebrated, and then went back home to rest for the weekend. The following days went by in peace while the team and I practice hard every day after school. There was in an uproar because we won against the number one seed, I started getting interviews after games, so local businesses started to contact me to see if I wanted to advertise for them.I quickly agreed because this was another way to make some money for the family and our money was running out from years ago, so I picked up some sponsorships and even got on a TV advertisement for a fast-food joint, even though it was not on national TV it was still good to see myself on TV.The next day the team had laughed at how funny I looked at that advertisement, but I paid them no mind because I still got paid, and that's what mattered to me. I continue to set records and beat harder teams. The team was in sync at this moment and unbeatable. Even the varsity coach started looking for me to see if I wanted to join the varsity team next year in my sophomore year.That's rare to get a tenth grader to join the varsity team, it's normally 11th graders and 12th graders, but I was already getting recruited for the varsity team, then again I was not too surprised, but I wanted to go with Momba, so I told him if momba comes along to then I will go. That evening I had talked to the JV coach about going to varsity next year in my sophomore year, and he agreed.He told me to take this chance because there will be a here Bigger stage, with more competition, so I thanked him for all that he did for me then I left. The rest of the year went by, and we were in the finals facing off against the Tigers again. The time I was doing all the training, my skills had gone up again. I was now able to do the perfect shots 20 times, and time freezes 15.I was unleashing hell on everybody at this point; I can feel that my unlimited perfect shot was coming back soon, and when that happened, I might even skip varsity to go straight to the NBA. Still, I know my mother wanted me to go to college, so I might just skip a few grades and do one year in college, then go to the NBA. We had won the finals and taken home the cup for the first time in history. Of course, I was the MVP, and life was good. At this point, I've gotten more sponsorships and deals.
