I Cant Miss !!! 142 Army vs Marines 3

The first half was finally over, and we were only down by ten good points, generally, in the past, the Ground Force would be down by 20 + points, but this year it seemed like they had some fire in their eyes as they played hard and made buckets. 

It was finally my turn to step on stage with the other bench players. When I stepped on the court, the crowd on our side started barking like dogs. This made me smile as I waved at them, the Marines were surprised and wondered what a rookie could do because I looked young at the time, and they had never seen me before. 

The Marines figured I wouldn't be that good as these were my beginning games, but I proved them wrong very quickly when I made my first 3-point shot. They thought it was pure luck and continue not to guard me as much. I brought the ball down, spun off my defender, and took a shot from close to the three-point line. 

The ball floated in the air for a couple of seconds before hitting the net, that's when the Marines started looking at me strangely as they thought, was it luck? I made two more threes to catch up to their points as they began playing better defense against me. 

The Marines put two people on me but still wasn't able to stop me as I drove right through the middle of the defenders and into the post. All the big guys were standing there waiting for me to try something, but I simply did a floater and got us two points. 

The Marines were pretty pissed about this as I could see the madness in their eyes. The Marines wanted nothing but to tackle me to death, but I wouldn't give them that opportunity to do that. I time froze and stole the ball from their point guard, and I did a solo fastbreak since no one was in front of me or able to catch up to me. 

I went in for the tomahawk dunk causing the crowd to start screaming and barking once again. The Marines coach called timeout at this point, they had blown the lead and was now down by more than 10 points. The Marines were shocked by this and wondered when I would miss it.  

In the Marines huddle, the coach was yelling at his players while asking, "who was that little pipsqueak" they all shrugged as they didn't know who I was due to me not being in the military for long. The coach said" I want this guy taken out somebody, anybody, please take this guy out before we lose this game, we're going for the championship and we can't start by losing to these loser teams, not only that but the weakest team in the whole vast world Ground Force!!!!. 

The Marines players were all nodding in agreement as this army team has never beaten them before, so why should they start losing now. They got them hyped up as they decided to do whatever they can to surpass me. The buzzer went off, and we came back to the game. This time three Marines were defending me, so using that opportunity, I started doing a lot of assisting brushing up on my passing skills as I did no-look passes, passes to people that were open even though my teammates didn't make some of them. 

Most of the time, they were doing pretty good by making mid-range shots. Sheila, Blackpool, Garett, and Limiyou were getting open shots thanks to me. The Marines coach was furious at this time as he had to go back to man to man defense, so I decided to keep doing whatever I wanted. 

Still, my other teammates didn't have the opportunity to score again as I took the throne once again, doing floaters, crossovers, and many more. At one point, the Marines had to keep switching defenders due to me always going full speed, and it made my defenders tired.

I ran non-stop and even injured their point guard because I took his ankles when he tried to reach, I decided to teach as I crossed him over real quick going from one side then switching quickly to the next hand. This caused his ankles to twist as he fell on the floor, screaming out in pain. The Marines coach wanted to kill me at this point because I had injured one of his star players. 

I was beating them nonstop at this point in the game. We were winning by 30 + points and didn't have even the slightest thought of giving up the charge. They beat us for many years, and I wanted them to feel the pain. We ended the third quarter right then and there as we sat on the bench to relax. The starters were going to come back in for the fourth quarter. 

Still, I was going to be playing with them because the bench players were quite tired, but not me due to my unlimited stamina. Paige came in smiling at me as she said, "watching you play always turns me on so much we should have a victory night tonight," as she winked at me. I smiled at her but didn't say anything as we went on to play the game. 

They tried to play two people on me again, leaving somebody open, which allowed me to get the passes in for more assist. At this point, I had a triple-double with 20 steals, 25 assists, and 69 points.  When Coach Andre saw all my stats, he was extremely impressed as he said:" I know you can probably do more than that since you don't ever get tired, but try not to scare your competition off this badly."

Coach Andre laughed while my teammates started laughing at the number of points I got. The seconds whittled down as the bench came in to play the rest of the game. I sat on the bench, watching the gameplay out until the final buzzer sounded.
