Start of the match

Dragon and I looked at each other.

Dragon looked at me and said.

- Let's have a match to see who's the best amateur.

- I'll take it.

I was so excited.

Puff!

There it is!!!

Luci hit me.

- You idiots, we didn't want to show off our skills

during the break

We didn't want to show off our skills to

the other guy

Before the game!!!!

- Sorry, Luci

I just wanted to play basketball.

I was scared because I'd never seen Luci's face like that before.

I was scared because I'd never seen Luci's face like that before.

- Heh heh heh!

Everyone started laughing,

and I said Luci was a beast when it came to the game.

Luci was a beast.

I said.

Drakon said, "Lucy always ruins the fun."

Suddenly, a deep voice spoke to Drakon.

- Lucy is right, Drakon is wrong.

To the opponent who is about to play

To the opponent who is about to play.

- Huff, are you...?"

As he stared, a humanoid red bear appeared.

To Hero.

- Who is that?

- His name is Hagar.

He is the captain of the Dragon Bears.

Then Hagar bows to Drakon and apologizes to the officer.

For Drakon's immaturity.

Lucy also apologizes for my immaturity.

Then the two of them left.

The next day, we started training again.

I passed the ball to Hero.

I passed the ball to Hero.

He shot the three ball into the basket.

After training, we went home,

There was a friendly match.

The day of the big game arrived.

They were going to play on our court.

As we were getting ready, we suddenly heard a noise from outside.

From outside.

When we went there, it was the sound of a big griffon coming towards us.

The hero said.

- They finally came.

And the Dragon Bear team arrived.

Drakon Hugger and his friends finally arrived.

We got to meet the other players.

Then the Dragon Bear players looked towards the court.

- In this little square on our court

We're going to play against our rivals.

(Luna is Pegasus, wing position).

- Luna, respect your opponent.

(Luna, respect your opponent.)

- Luna, we're here to play basketball,

Don't look at the opponent's court.

(Shingo is Royal Eagle, amateur wing position).

They arrived and introduced themselves.

Then, Hagar, the team captain and point guard, apologized for the players' remarks.

The players said:

Let's go to the court, get ready.

I thought to myself:

- Finally we can play basketball.

See you again,

This time in a different world,

I hope everything goes well.

I always pray before and after big games for God to guide me.

On the court and in the moment of victory,

Respect your opponent.

And when you lose, never give up, just hold your head high.

Luci said:

- I know it's a friendly game,

But we'll still do our best to win.

I believe in your talent!

- That's right!

Coach

Finally, we're ready for the court.

Then, the coach, a humanoid griffin, ordered us along with Luci:

Line up and greet each other.

Then, when Drakon approached me, he said with an excited smile:

- I'm gonna get rid of you today!

- Let's see if he'll really get rid of me.

The guys look at each other.

Finally the game starts, the referee throws the ball up into the goal with Haggar.

They're fighting.

Haggar gets the ball, passes it to Dragon.

Dragon slams it on the ground and comes at me.

- Let's see if the human is that good.

I've been waiting for this.

- He can go all out.

And Dragon comes over and tells his team to rotate.

So he can move.

And he starts cutting to one side, the other, the other, trying to get past me.

To get past me.

I was always on solid defense trying to stop him.

He was going to go right, but he went left.

He went past me, and his speed was unbelievable.

He went to the basket pretending to shoot.

To block.

Whether he knew it or not, he made an incredible pass to Luna.

His pass was like a bullet shot.

Luna stole the ball and dunked it.

- Look, you wimp, here comes the King!! ! ... I gave the signal to Hero, and Hero noticed and came towards me.

At the same time, I told Go to do a pick-and-roll.

Pick-and-roll is a move used in basketball, and it is used in the following cases:

You ask the shooter to stop the scorer who is marking an amateur or someone in another position.

So that the other person can enter the opponent's zone and score or pass to a teammate to make a basket.

You can also pass to the point guard who scored.

So I used this move

About Dragon, he noticed and got out of the play.

- I'm much more agile than you, damn it.

You need to improve that move

- Damn, here we go again.

Dragon marked me and came to get the ball.

Then I noticed him coming, took a deep breath, and disappeared like smoke.

Disappeared.

- Where did he go?

Dragon looked for me and said.

I think he's a hero.

- I knew he could do it.

I appeared behind Dragon.

- How did he get here?

I gave the signal to Hero, and he understood it.

- That was it.

Then he ran, and his marker followed him. I pretended to shoot, and Dragon tried to stop me. So I passed to Hero from behind, and he got ready to shoot, but he fooled his opponent, passed to me, fooled his marker again, and moved in another direction.

And he got a free three-point shot.

- Thanks, Hero.

- Do it now, Ken

Dragon said.

- That's good.

I'll take the ball, shoot the free throw, and get a three-pointer.

- That's it! (I celebrate)

Dragon spoke his mind.

- This is the skill of the chosen man,

I can't wait to defeat him.
