Chapter 166 Wanna Compete Against Me?

"Hasn't the game just started? How can there be such a big difference in less than five minutes?"r

"It's their top player. He has already scored three three-pointers by the time that I left there." Johnathan stated.r

Jack frowned. He wondered if it was true that there were other players playing there. If a single person could easily score three times in less than five minutes, was there someone that was defending really?r

As if reading Jack's mind, Johnathan spoke. "You know, the attacks are already heavy on the Roosters. There have been more than seven shots. They managed to block two while the other two missed. That's the reason for the score at that moment. As for now, I'm not sure If they have scored again."r

"Is that player of theirs that strong?" Jack asked.r

"Exactly. And that's the reason as to why we want you to get there as soon as possible. Otherwise, things are definitely not going to get good. The first quarter is already almost coming to an end." Johnathan replied.r

"Yeah, that person is Damien. You should know him, right?" The coach said as he looked at Jack.r

"Damien? Never heard of him before." Jack shook his head in response.r

Johnathan: "…."r

Coach: "…."r

"Are you serious Jack? You play basketball but you have never heard of Damien, one of the best basketball players in the country?" Johnathan looked at Jack incredulously as he asked with disbelief clear in his voice.r

"What? You are expecting me to know him just because he's one of the top players in the country?" Jack asked. Clearly, even after hearing that the other party was one of the best players, he didn't care.r

"Jack, are you sure that you can play basketball?" Johnathan asked doubtfully. Although he knew that with Jack's strength, as long as he wanted, he could dribble the ball from one end to the court before slam dunking it.r

But, the question was whether he even knew the rules of basketball. If it was true that he knew nothing about it, it was then a sure bet that there was nothing that he could do as there would be several fouls, one after the other.r

In this way, even if he held the ball in his hands, there would be nothing that he could do to salvage the situation. Perhaps he might as well cripple the team further as it was already a cripple in front of Damien as long as there was nobody to stop him.r

"Anyway, I'm not a basketball enthusiast. So, I don't watch the games at all. But don't worry, if I didn't know what I was talking about, I wouldn't have come here. I would have continued enjoying my time with Celine." Jack shrugged before he went ahead to change.r

Celine on the other hand blushed furiously under the questioning gazes of the coach and Johnathan.r

After changing, Jack left the locker room with the coach while Celine left with Johnathan. She was going to be a spectator and so, she could take on one of the best seats present in the front.r

When Jack got onto the court and looked at the basketball, he felt some kind of feeling as if he had been playing this kind of game for a long time now. This was just an instinct due to the presence of the memories and muscle memory that had been merged into his mind and body.r

In less than ten seconds, Jack felt extremely confident that he could play the game better than anyone else. And looking at the players that were sweating and dribbling, shooting or blocking the ball, Jack shook his head.r

He was disappointed because he felt that the level that the best player that they were talking about was in, was just mediocre. He could find many ways of breaking through his defense or blocking his attacks with an unbreakable wall.r

Seeing Jack shaking his head, the coach thought that Jack had given up and thought that the situation was hopeless. He couldn't blame him though because he himself knew that it was going to be hard for them to turn the tables.r

Not speaking of the fact that Jack was going to be late to enter the game, the opponents were already at 23 points to 2. The Roosters had managed to score to points. But, in just a few minutes, perhaps because the spirit of the Roosters had waned, in the less than seven minutes that Johnathan was away, there were already 14 points.r

"Don't worry, just play your game the best that you can." The coach patted Jack's shoulder before he joined the other players that were watching from the side.r

Just looked at him and thought to himself. Am I supposed to play well here? Just a simple game and all these guys will not be able to hold me. So, if I dare to play the game at my best, won't I destroy the passion that these guys have towards basketball?r

Jack simply shook his head in his heart. There was no need for him to apply much of his skills. Furthermore, there was still the fact that he was stronger than all the guys here, even that Damien would be no match for him even though he was almost two meters tall.r

Although Jack was tall and was 187cm, compared to the basketball players who were usually at 190cm or some of them being even 2m tall, Jack was considered short.r

Looking at Damien who was holding the ball, Jack watched silently as he wondered what this guy was going to do with the ball.r

?r

He dribbled up to the 3pt line and faked a pass to one of his teammates, the defense started shifting to the left, thinking he passed the ball. Damien shot the 3 ball. The sound of the ball as it ripped through the net made the crowd get hype. With 30 seconds left in the 1st quarter, the game is at 26-2 and the Roosters team had the ball, dribbling the ball trying to waste some time. r

The Roosters point guard started to dribble between his legs and tried to hit the opponent with an in and out move but he tripped over his shoe and lost the ball, the opponent sprinted to the loose and hustled down the court for the easy layup with 10 seconds left in the quarter. As the team ran to get back on defense, the opponent had already passed the ball to Damien.r

Damien wasted no time as it was already almost time for the first quarter to end. So, he shot the ball from a 3 pointer line.r

The crowd alongside his teammates watched as the ball arced towards the hoop. Luckily, it missed the target and hit the backboard. Before the Roosters could get happy that Damien had missed, the ball bounced from the backboard and dropped into the hoop.r

Tad! Tad! Tad!r

The sound of the ball bouncing on the ground was heard. At the same time, the whistle was blown as the official waved his hand to indicate the end of the quarter.r

The players left the court. While the opponents had raised their heads high, the Roosters could only walk out with disappointment clear on their faces.r

The coach welcomed them there. When they arrived here, they saw Jack. They wondered why he was wearing the jersey. "Mr Johnathan, you are going to play?" One of the players asked.r

It was also at this point that the other players noticed Jack's presence. He had been standing at the side while they themselves were focusing on the game. So, they didn't notice when he arrived.r

Jack shook his head at this. Celine and the other girls already knew how to differentiate between him and Johnathan as their tastes in fashion were different. Furthermore, if one looked keenly, he'll be able to notice that Jack was more handsome. Well, that's what Jack thought.r

The coach happened to hear what the were saying. So, he hurriedly went ahead and said, "That's Jack. He's Mr Johnathan's cousin."r

"Cousin? How can cousins look the same?" One of the players said out their suspicion.r

"Well, you can look there. Mr Johnathan is seated there. You might as well go ahead and ask him about that." The coach waved his hand.r

Before the players could start talking again, the coach began talking about the few mistakes that he had seen during the last minute of the game.r

"You guys, I know that you are dominated by the opponents. But, that's not a reason for you to give up on playing well. You need to make sure that you do your best from the start of the game to the end, no matter the results."r

He went on to talk for a few more seconds before he said, "Jack is going to enter in this quarter." He then looked at Jack and asked, "What position are you going to play?"r

"Just any position will do. But according to the situation, I'll have to play as a power forward so that I can easily counter Damien." Jack stated before looking at the players and asked, "Can you guys handle the other players?"r

"Of course. If it's just them, then it's not a problem at all." One of them who was also the captain nodded. Then , he looked at Jack before asking, "Why don't you play as a small forward. With your height and body size, it is good for you to play there."r

The others nodded in agreement. Although they had thought that they didn't need Jack, when they faced Damien, they knew that they were no opponents at all. So, at this point, they could only try Jack and see what kind of skills he possessed.r

"Worry not about that. You just focus on giving the ball to me and defending against the other players. They shouldn't pass you." Jack shook his head. He himself knew about his strength. Though, he wasn't going to use that advantage that much.r

The resting period was only two minutes. So, the time was over so fast and Jack went to the court.r

When Damien saw him and the position that he was going to play, he smiled and asked, "Are you their star player?" He had never seen Jack before and neither had he seen him during the first quarter.r

They had previously stated that Jack had yet to arrive. So, he could easily tell that Jack was the player that had been brought over to play against him. But, he had never seen or heard of him before. He was curious about where they found him.r

"Perhaps." Jack shrugged, not willing to explain anything.r

"Humph!" Damien snorted when he saw Jack's not caring look. He asked, "Wanna have a competition with me?"r
