Chapter 229 - Kobe's Training Camp 11

Isabella POV

The score was 5-2, we were up by three points as we were facing the white team. They were a little surprised I was able to make a three pointer since they haven't seen anybody our age do it.

They normally did mid range or lay ups especially being females, our upper body strength wasn't as strong as the males. 

As usual they probably thought it was luck as they passed the ball in. Their point guard started calling for a pick as my defender went up to give it to her causing Pat to slam hard into her as she fell to the ground.

Out of concern I went to help her out causing the other two to be wide open but I didn't care for them as they used their numbers to easily score the point. 

I called a time out as our team members helped Pat get back on her feet. The nurse came to check on her to make sure she was ok as she told us that she was just a little winded and she should be ok in a few seconds.

Pat ȧssured us that she was ok and that she was still good to go as she took a little break before coming back to the court.

We were all pissed at this point because the white team was playing dirty and we didn't like that. If that's how they were going to play we could play the same game.

We were still up by one point as I inbounded the ball. I didn't want Pat to bring down the ball as she was still recovering so I brought it down and saw the fire in my teammates eyes as they all seemed serious now. 

Swish 

Up by three points again 7-4, the speed I displayed even shocked my own teammates. The white thing brought down the ball as we started to play defense intensely, my defender received the ball and she started trying to get free from my defense. She had a slight pause which I was able to utilize and pluck the ball from her on and started running down the court for an easy layup.

They were all shocked by this and thought how come I didn't play like that in the previous game, my teammates were all hyped now and were beginning to have the same energy as me. I was beyond pissed because they hurt Pat even though I don't have that much connection to her. I thought that play was not fair and the refs didn't even say anything about it.

9-4, we didn't come to play around as we started to play defense once again but unfortunately they were able to score right now as they utilize a pick and roll situation.

I brought down the ball this time Pat seemed to be doing a little bit better but I still wanted her to get some rest. I asked for the pick, Chantel came down and gave me the pick. The girl that was guarding me didn't see her and bumped into her but it wasn't as hard as when Pat did as it seemed like Chantel was having mercy on the other team and didn't want to draw a foul but I didn't care. I drove in with a floater and got the and one bucket to go as their center had bumped into me.

The girls started cheering me on as they helped me up, they knew I was going to make the free throw to grab the extra point so there was no point and thinking hard about it as they were celebrating like I just won the game.

I went to the free throw line, dribbled a few times and took the shot to give us three more points on our ever-growing score. 12-6, they brought down the ball as we continued to play defense. Their point guard used Pat as a crutch as she started dribbling fast causing Pat to be a little confused as her defender drove past her. I quickly went for the help leaving my defender wide open.

She received the pass, dribbled up a little and took the shot to gain two more points. Even though Pat was becoming a liability we all didn't care as we were all still up on the scoreboard and we didn't even think about losing this game as we continued to dig into the scoreboard. 

I brought down the ball and passed it over to Daisy as she did a pump fake to get her defender in the air and then drove the ball into the post for an easy layup. Chantel held the center back so Daisy could get the point.

The white team seemed to be discouraged after that block, they didn't seem to want to play dirty anymore but it was too late for that. They got the ball once again, I intercepted a pass as I took it down the lane, stopped at the three-point line and took the shot. Everybody there was shocked, instead of going for the easy layup I took a shot from the three-point line which shocked everybody there but I didn't mind that as my teammates came and pushed me around saying that I was the greatest player and started calling me the goat.
