Chapter 230 - Kobe's Training Camp 12

Isabella POV

17-8, was the new score and I wasn't going to stop there. My arms felt sore but I knew I had one more shot in me so I was definitely going to make the last play a three pointer as I looked at my teammates and let them know that I was interested in taking the last shot. They all nodded in agreement and they also wanted to finish this game in a hurry as I can see them with heavy breaths.

One of the players from the white team came up to me and said "you're not going to score again, we're not going to go down without a fight, my other teammates might be scared of you but I'm not".

I laughed at her and smiled as I said "don't worry I'm going to tell you the play I'm going to use to defeat you that way it's not a surprise when it does happen". She looked at me surprised and was curious as to how I was so confident to announce the play that I was going to make before I even made it.

I looked at her and said" I'm going to come off a pick and shoot a three pointer to end this game". She looked at me with happiness in her eyes and laughed as she said" you made a big mistake". I shook my head and said "no I have not" , and I walked away from her smiling that I finally got the chance to say something like that and the confidence to back it up as I had used that once against a girl last year.

Remembering my season from last year's games it was quite intense as we played inner city teams but that's another story for another day.. I got focused as I told my teammates what we're going to do and I explained to them the same way I explained to that girl that was supposed to be defending me and she went on to tell her team about what I had said.

I could see the confidence coming back to the other team as they started giggling thinking what an idiot I was but I could only shake my head with thoughts of glee on how I was going to disappoint this team.

Looking at the small crowd that gathered they seemed to be amused too as I looked on the other side of the Court where the men were playing and I can see Daddy coming off of pick-n-roll as he handed it off to his big man for him to go in for the dunk. I was amazed at the level of play my daddy could play at and couldn't wait to get to that level of play. I had an idea after seeing that pick and roll and wanted to try it the opposite way.

I told Chantel my plan as she nodded in approval and had all the other girls on the same page as the game started once again. 

The white team brought up the ball, my defender was controlling the ball as she was just dribbling. I told her she was wasting time and that she could just score. I'll let her go. She looked at me surprised and laughed as she said "what do you give up already"? I shook my head and "said no I just want to hurry up and get this game over with".

Deep down inside I knew I wanted to get it over with because I was getting tired, my arms had taken enough shots and I wouldn't be able to lift them again if I took two more shots so I stepped out of her way and bowed down as if saying you have the right way. 

She got a little angry at this but decided to take this chance as she dribbled inside the paint. Chantel was there waiting for her so she decided to take a step back and take a mid-range shot which she missed because she was too open and wasn't sure why I had let her go but all that overthinking had caused her to shoot the ball in an uncomfortable way.

I cut into the paint, Chantel pretended like she was passing it to me. My defender smirked at this because she knew that Chantel would have to pass it to me but then I cut right back to the three-point line, surprising her as she slipped due to the sudden change in direction. She wasn't able to get back on defense in time as I caught the ball at the three-point line. 

Everybody on the opposite team was screaming curses as I let the ball rip out of my hands with what little strength I had. The ball tore through the air slowly spinning in a weird rotation as if it was a globe moving around from left to right.

I don't know why I decided to put a spin on it like that but I just did as it was a little bit more comfortable doing it that way. The ball fell into the hoop as we gained three points earning us the W.

My team started cheering. They were happy that we were finally able to finish this team off a bit easier from the previous team but I wasn't complaining. After celebrating a little bit we went to meet the opposite teams. We shook their hands and when I greeted my defender she squeezed my hand and said "good job but we'll definitely see each other again and next time you won't get off so easily". I smirked at this and said" I honestly took it easy on you guys next time I won't leave with just a few points".
