Chapter 857 Chapter 857 Game of Ball
"I guess it's normal to be kicked out from high school if i injure the school's star player in the finals of all times. But i can't say I'm sorry though. Hehehe. That boy's groin must be hurting even now."
Clark chuckled a few as he remembered what had happened last night. Alas, the expulsion letter came in his email this morning.
He would have to do a lot of lying to his parents in time but for now, that concern was not yet pressing.
"What to do next?" Our bored gamer asked himself.
He was in his last year in high school already and although he had joined the school basketball team but he had yet to show any significant promise in the field.
His predecessor Sean Evans was only a 3rd tier player at best.
"..." Clark thought about this problem for a few minutes before he conjured a tricky play in the end.
"Hmmm... I bet this could work." Our good gamer muttered. He got his phone and went out to a nearby court to properly enact his plans.

A whole day later and the internet was buzzing with the latest trending videos. One of those was of course something that was made by our very own protagonist.
"Wow! This guy is so amazing!"
"Three hundred consecutive three point shots!"
"This is unreal! It's a legendary accomplishment!"

The views on this one was still 10,000 clicks and counting. The video title was perhaps as brilliant as its content. It read:
"Sean Evans?" The voice asked on the other line.
"Speaking." Our good gamer replied.
"This is Luis Bell Jackson from the Los Pecados Wolverines. I want to invite you in my city. Are you interested in coming tonight?" The voice asked once more. It was a deep and strong one.
"Of course." Clark lightened up since he knew that his chance has finally arrived.

Luis Bell Jackson of the Los Pecados Wolverines. Only an alien would not have recognized this name and affiliation.
One should know that Luis Bell Jackson was in the constant contender for the debate of the greatest of all time player in basketball.
He was a 5 time champion already but he was still not content of his achievements.
At 40 years old, he wanted to get his sixth ring in order to solidify his claim unto the throne of basketball legends. It did not need telling that this man was a living legend himself.
He was someone that did not know when to settle and let go of his lifelong love of the court.
"Touchdown!" The private jet landed on the runaway and it spat out the short figure of our bored gamer. A few minutes more and a luxurious car arrived to get him.
Before long, Clark was standing face to face before a giant of a man. The legend himself, Luis Bell Jackson.
"How was the flight, kid?" Luis Bell Jackson asked after he shared a firm handshake with our avid gamer.
"I've had better." Clark replied. His eyes raked the muscle ridden tall imposing figure of the one who invited him several cities away from his own.
Luis Bell Jackson was also doing the same scrutiny as he was getting. The kid may be frail looking and small but there was a strange confidence that exuded from his form.
Most of all, it was his unwavering eyes that foretold a deep monstrosity from within his lanky body. Luis Bell Jackson found this weird indeed.
It was the first time that he encountered someone like our avid gamer. His intuition warned him that this kid was a dangerous opponent in the court.
Although these funny assumptions seem stupid at first but there was one way to ensure the validity of his guesses.
"I'm sure you had. But how about a game of ball?"
