I Cant Miss !!! 97 Christmas and New Year Special 4

FlashbackI quickly took a shot giving me nine points while Mike still had five. I just needed one more point to win the game. Mike was pissed off at this point because he had never lost on a 1 on 1 match before so this was new to him. Mike got the ball and tried to pump faked me thinking I was gonna fall for it but I didn't even budge waiting for him to shoot the ball instead. He started dribbling around and tried to cross me over he actually succeeded, but before I could fall I time froze and fixed myself up because I wasn't going to look dumb in front of my family. I unfroze time and Mike was surprised that I wasn't on the ground. I asked him if that's all he got causing him to get mad and lose his cool as he drove in on me. I let him go as he went and dunked the ball getting the crowd excited. Mike now had 7 points just needed 3 more points to win the game, he was a bit excited at this thought and had hope in his eyes thinking that he had a chance to come back but on the next play I had the ball as we checked up he played extra defense on me and wasn't giving me any space to the point that he was even fouling me. I decided to end his antics as I sped up my dribbling trying to pass him but did hard brake crossover to break him off me. Then I did a step back onto the 3pt line and shot it. Mike didn't even have time to react to my shot as he looked in horror as the ball floated in the air. Everybody seem like they had stopped everything they were doing to watch the ball as it slowly made his way to the basket. I made it extra dramatic by making sure the shot was a slow rainbow shot. When it finally made it to the basket it made a splash sound after it went in the net. The crowd went wild while Mike collapsed on the floor embarrassed and in shame from when he had looked down on me and talked so much trash but still was unable to beat me. I was surprised when he approached me and shook my hand. He told me it was a good game and that he will never look down on opponents again as he asked me for my name. I told him Eazy as he felt like he remembered and name from somewhere but he couldn't think at the moment. Mike just let it go and started laughing like he just didn't lose. He was quite the entertainer. Mike thanked everybody for watching the performance as our match was the best performance there and it had the crowd pumped up. I went back to my seat to go relax with my family as the show went on there was a couple more performances. They weren't as exciting as the basketball match that we just had so eventually the talent show came to a close as the organizers thanked everybody for coming. I parted ways with Mike after speaking with him a bit. I didn't give him my contacts and I felt like we were going to meet again someday. After I had given Rasta a call to set up the Christmas tree and gifts for everybody, he was a little bit dejected about this because he hated wrapping gifts. I told him that he could easily take it to the mall and pay someone to wrap it up for him, he had no clue that they had people like that so he was happy that he didn't have to go through all that wrapping business. The convention had come to an end the next day after they had a grand finale where they talked about all kinds of subjects and preached on it. I had learned a thing or two from the sermon and put it in my heart because moving forward I was going to need God's help  to protect my family. I prayed God would give me the strength to bless others. After the event we made our way back to Maryland. We had stopped by a couple of places just for sightseeing. I would have to say that this trip was a success as everybody enjoyed themselves very much. When we got home the house was lit like a light show. It seems like Rasta had gone all out and hired a couple of people to come and decorate our house for us. When Isabella saw this she was so excited as she jumped up-and-down with joy in her car seat. The security team helped us bring our baggage inside the house. The inside of the house was just as lit as outside was. There were decorations everywhere and a huge Christmas tree in the living room with lots of presents. I thanked Rasta for doing some last minute work around the house so we would come back to some Christmas spirit. Isabella was running around the tree excited and that warmed all of our hearts as we hadn't been in the Christmas mood in a while. A few days before Christmas Flo came to celebrate with us so the whole gang's back together again as we celebrated and enjoyed each others company.  We ended up going to church for new year's even though I didn't want to go but Flo made us all go so i was sitting in church dozing off once again until the new year came and i woke up from all the loud cheering. We celebrated as we went to hug each other and said a quick prayer before we left the church to go eat out at IHOP. I was grateful for the second chance of being able to provide for my family and others even if we had lost someone important to us earlier in our lives. Merry Christmas to all my supporters and happy new year i wish you guys good health and success next year. 2020 baby!!!!
