Ball Master 10 Chapter 10: Second Half

Seeing the happy expression of Basketball Director Craig Hefferman, a.s.sistant coach Adam Levitt suddenly felt nervous and Craig's action of applauding the kid isn't a good sign. His vigilance was raise up and really wants to get the Head Coach Position coz he has been a.s.sistant Coach for more than fifteen years

.

He's eager to prove himself and use this opportunity to earn a lot of money. There's a lot of top head coach can get an annual salary of more than he can in NCAA that are tens of millions of dollars.

But things aren't so smooth and Jayson whom he hates is under the radar of NBA scouts, while he's waiting in the sideline with unknown future after this game.

The scout writes another comment; "the pa.s.sing ability is tricky, the ability to read the game is change from A to S and evaluation is "a natural point".

This high a.s.sessment is essential coz there are few S level that enter his notebook. It's like the top guard of NCAA; Chris Paul can only stand this kind of review. Right now, it's much better to further observe in the future.

"Is that shot amazing? Why do I feel that Jayson's previous shot is better than just now, why do people cheer so much for him? Shery asks.

"Maybe coz he breakdown the defense of Bruins players" Avril replied.

"Hey, is there's no offside? When Jayson pa.s.s the ball seems to be offside" Shery said.

"Maybe the referee didn't see it" Avril replied.

These two fake fans were actively discussing the play and the fans of Bruins sitting behind them just lament in their hearts. If the two aren't beautiful women, they've been unable to play.

The game just moves fast, Jordan Farmar mental condition is a big a problem. He planned to iso-play Jayson and try steal the attention of everyone to him but doesn't always to his favor and three failed goals consecutively.

Beavers used this failed attempts to complete three successful attacks. Under Jayson's arrangements, the Princeton's tactics resulted to a free-flowing offense.

Since Daniel Cullina hit a three-pointer beyond the arc, Beavers has now the lead by one and Bruins couldn't take Jordan's shot selection so he was sidelined and now that it's only thirty-five seconds left. Now, the ball is on their possession so they must succeed this last offensive play. If not then, Beavers deserves this win over Bruins and will be the tournament champion of Pacific 10.

Jordan Farmar glared at Jayson as he was bench. If there's no Jayson this game, then Jordan Farmar will be the star of game and will be great for his NBA Draft in front of these scouts.

"The next time we meet, I will definitely destroy you and become professional player with hundred thousand dollars in annual income." Jordan Farmar added: NBA won't favor a softy like you that only tricks and no strength"

"Yah! Losers always had this kind of excuses, well remember that you got slaughtered by a nameless, Asian boy and enter the round of 64." Jayson with an ironic smile said.

This makes Jordan Farmar more worried about the scouts sitting on the sideline. "You"..!

Jayson walk back to their bench while Jordan Farmar said "d.a.m.n it!" looking at Jayson's back and wanted to beat up this guy for messing up his draft.

"Coach, give me a chance, I will led the team to win and they can't stop me" Jordan Farmar.

Jordan keeps asking the coach to put him back while on the bench and hopes to get chance to fight back. This is his last chance for him but the coach just his head to Jordan.

"You're wasted enough opportunities in the first half, so let's lay-out the last play" Bruins Coach said.

Bruins coach choose Jason Kapono as the main attacker, his is a good shooter and team's trump card.

"If ever Jason can get in quickly in painted area, then make a drop pa.s.s to let Abraham shoot in the restricted area is fastest and easiest way to score." Bruins Coach said.

The poor kid Jordan Farmar didn't even have the chance to hear his name in the discussion. He thought that he was put waste at the bench in a critical moment. This made him angry, after Bruins coach tactics was laid out he asked; 'Why"

"Jordan" Bruins coach said seriously: If you're not in a hurry, I suggest that you play one year."

When he heard this, the coach is no longer optimistic about his draft. He went to the end of the bench and this game became nightmare to him.

This game is a great debut for Jayson, this made Basketball Director Craig Hefferman took the initiative to step forward and intends to keep this kid in the team.

When a.s.sistant coach Adam Levitt saw this, he felt more devastated than Jordan Farmar. Now that Jayson has change, it's clearly that the director has already changed his mind. He also fell into regret that he persuades the a.s.sistant coaches to put Jayson in the line and thought that Coach Olivia has no trump card up her sleeve. Jayson's emergence will become the catalyst for the team to change their game.

a.s.sistant Coach Adam Levitt was frustrated and that thing may not have reached a conclusion. Basketball Director Craig Hefferman made promise to him, even if he has good impression on Jayson and he could still take Olivia's position and control of the team.

"Please be sure to win UCLA Bruins" a.s.sistant Coach Adam Levitt prayed.

Soon... the time out ended, to be the game started and Jayson was on the still on the court.

She just hopes to see me to be able to control the ball after Bruins attack and the NCAA's shot clock; as the game continue Jayson decided to follow Jason Kapono and felt that he will be the one to close the game. At this time, Jayson is exhausted, dizzy and was able to clench his teeth coz there's no reason to give-up now.

When Bruins player suddenly made a screen while moving to roll, Jayson was unable to stop so he slams into a solid wall. He only felt dizzy, he heard the screams of the audience and trash from UCLA player; Hahahaha..., Soft as woman's a.s.s"

"Offensive foul!! Moving screen... ref..." Coach Olivia shouts in the sideline.

The referee was didn't whistle as if there's nothing wrong. While Jayson was lazy to care for unnecessary things like the pain and just gnashed his teeth and raise up. Then he rushed up to the Jason Kapono who in shooting motion.

Jason Kapono has receive a green light to shoot and already jumped when he saw a running Jayson. As soon as Jayson was going for a block, Jason Kapono already releases the ball: "Swish".

UCLA made a three-pointer and made a led by only one point at the crucial moment. The fans of the Bruins made a loud screams and cheers as if they already win the game.

There's only five seconds for Beavers to make a shot, it's either a long three-pointer or a quick two in restricted area.

"Oh my, basketball is a dangerous sport so even when the UCLA center knocked down Jayson, no one even helped him! I can't let him touch this basketball anymore". Shery said.

Shery grasped Avril's hand tightly and tears showed how her heart was broken by this incident.

Avril was also worried about Jayson's state and hope that he could also tear his opponents. Jayson also numb by this time and wants to end this already.

He quickly took the ball from Daniel; he rushes to the front court lighting strike and as he got closer to the painted area.

The restricted area is defended by UCLA center that knocked down Jayson earlier. He speed up and seems like a blur to everyone, especially in front of Bruins defenders and just let a rushing bull pa.s.s by.

As the time was about to expire, he stops his track, then jump high in front of Bruins center and shoots in a high arc to avoid the block. Jayson fell down to the court and have no more strength to move after that.

When Jayson falls to the ground, the audience screamed and a crisp sound came from the net was heard. This was the sweetest thing he heard by this time, then reveals a satisfied smile and the arena was going insane by the series screams like tsunami by this play...

The buzzer echoed throughout in the arena, also signals the end of game between Beavers and Bruins

"Ding"
