"White Team, you must be more vigilant with the attacks of Dwi Citizens High School. It seems they still stick with the rough strategy. It's a pity that the referee didn't see that Fauzi Rizal was elbowing your knee, Ham," Ridwan said. "You have to keep fighting until the end. In this game you're all left to you unless you're tired." Continue Mr. Ridwan.
"Good, Sir!" jhon doggah said.
"But, sir, they can hurt Ilham again if they keep playing rough" Nugroho said. "What if the injury recurs again? Or is it getting worse?" Further.
"Therefore, you need the cooperation of you to keep Ilhan's position tight, do not let your mistakes at Dwi Citizens High School repeated, you must learn from experience!" said Mr. Ridwan.
Mangosteen nugroho understands. "Good, Sir!"
Mr. Ridwan turned towards Ilham. "Ham, are your legs okay?"
Ilham.
"OK, drink enough. Then, go back to the field. We'll see if there's a change of players or not. What is certain is that you can play the five until the end without changing your focus," said Mr. Ridwan. "Spirit, spirit!"
"Yes, spirit, White Team! Don't lose to that loser!" said Rosa who immediately approached the White Team resting place as soon as the whistle sounded earlier. "Your score is not far behind. Show that sportsmanship always wins!" Rosa continues to give spirit.
"Elo can count on me and my friends, Cha!" jhon said while giving his thumbs up. Then, he was immediately busy drinking from his mineral water bottle.
"of course. But, there seems to be something different with your formation today. Why?" asked Rosa curiously.
"About captain you mean Elo? I don't know, that elo lover asked me to be captain. This match special. I think you know about this" said Jhon, closing the mineral water bottle.
Rosa mangosteen alone even though she did not really understand. He kept quiet to let Jhon and the others back into the field. That inspiration always has its own plan. I don't know what he's planning today with that sudden captaincy.

Fauzi Rizal was silent during the break. He does not mix with his friends. After taking a slight gulp from his mineral water, both of his eyes stared intently at the direction where White Team was resting. After going through two very exciting quarters earlier, Fauzi Rizal was still not satisfied to vent his anger. He's mistaken. It wasn't just one child that he had to watch out for. There's two. He only realized that what he had to get rid of was not only Inspiration, but also one of his friends.
He smiled sinisterly looking at one of the White Team members who was busy wiping the sweat there. "Happy now. Because then you will definitely lose again to my team."
He turned around and immediately approached his teammates. He haughtily spoke, "Guys, we change our strategy. And you must submit to my strategy. Okay?! So here's..."
***
Now the scoreboard shows the number 50-45 for the excellence of Dwi Citizens High School. Today's game was really draining a lot of energy. This third quarter White Team could not relax in the least because the game of Dwi Citizens High School team increasingly desperate to pursue Ilham. They don't care if their coach yells from the sidelines so as not to use violence on the field. Jhon, Made, Toni Adam and Nugroho are really panicking about having to keep Ilham from them.
The ball is on Made. With his agility he carried the ball until he was finally blocked by Fauzi Rizal. Made immediately passed the ball quickly to Jhon who was standing nearby. Because the position is not too safe to shoot, he dribbled and immediately passed again towards Nugroho in the middle of the field.
"Shoot!!" jhon shouted loudly to Nugroho.
Nugroho stared at the ring for a moment to take aim, then immediately threw the ball firmly from the three-point line. The ball soared so high that the players from the opposing team could not reach it. And... It failed! The ball touched the ring's lips, surrounded it for a moment and fell again onto the field.
Nugroho snorted annoyed for a moment for failing to score, only after that he returned to position, ready for the next challenge. Likewise with Ilham, Jhon, Toni Adam and Made. After all, the third quarter was still five minutes away. There is still plenty of time to catch up.
"Brach!" yelled Jhon while throwing the ball.
Inspiration dribbles quickly to be able to score for his team. Jhon and Nugroho immediately prepared on the side of Ilham in case anything happened. However, in the middle he dribbled, suddenly his legs hurt next to him, making his running slow. In his heart he encouraged himself not to stop. The ring of success is in sight. He can't give up.
Friends of Ilham who saw the way Ilham ran clearly felt astonished also afraid. If Ilham is injured again, their difficulties can increase because good players who can compete physically and psychically like Ilham not much on the bench. In contrast to the Dwi Citizens High School team who were actually happy to see the incident. Fauzi Rizal who had been intending to block directly gave the code to his friends.
Jhon and Nugroho who realized the opponent's plan immediately approached Ilham to block them, but the other Dwi Citizens High School players actually confronted them first.
"Toni! made up!" exclaim Jhon while trying to break through the opponent.
Inspiration immediately passed the ball once aware of the existence of Made. Then, he immediately ran as if for his friends. Let him give up this time, rather than worrying about his friends.
"Made!" toni Adam asked for the ball.
Toni took a shot right after he got the ball. HUP! Logging in! Two numbers for White Team!
Furthermore, the atmosphere of the field was built by the Dwi Citizens High School team. Starting from Fauzi Rizal carrying the ball, blocked by Jhon, then Fauzi Rizal immediately passed to his friend who was standing near Ilham. It clearly makes Ilham automatically immediately try to block it, but...
"Ouch!" suddenly Ilhan grimaced. He was sitting on the field because his leg was already feeling unusually sick. High School Player Dwi Citizen again made him wretched. It seems they were on purpose because they knew exactly where the old wound was.
"Brach!" shouted Nugroho in shock.
"CHEATING!!"
Rosa who was sitting on the audience bench also reflexively stood up and shouted loudly. He was very upset to see the former captain of the School of Health Nurses again hurt his girlfriend.
"Fauzi Rizal should be taken off the field! Why isn't it foul?!" vishnu and Sam shouted from the bench. However, the referee was still indifferent because the incident was not seen by him. The players of Dwi Citizens High School covered the scene.
Time-out for the School of Health Nurses!
Inspiration was immediately swept by his friends into the player's dressing room. Not only the White Team, but Mr. Ridwan, Rosa, Mother and Father also went directly there to check on his condition. Rosa straightened her sister's legs slowly. Then, his leg was given protection on the knee to heal quickly.
"They are really sneaky," Jhon said with a sigh. "They must have planned this from the beginning so that Fauzi Rizal deliberately passed so that he could harm the Elo. The other player also covered the scene from the referee."
"Here you go, boys, you don't have to regret. You have taken good care of Inspiration. Your game is pretty good too. You just need to focus more" said Mr. Ridwan. "Boyou won't blame you."
"But, if this is how, how can Inspiration play? There's one more quarter, sir. I think it should be replaced for a while" Nugroho said.
Mr. Ridwan turned towards Ilham. "Ham, you better take a break?"
Inspiration smiles. "Have Dilan come in. He can replace me until the third quarter is over. Last quarter I'll be in again."
Everyone was shocked by the words of Inspiration. Their eyes all grew in disbelief.
"What's? Dilan?" made said doubtfully. "Ham, you know that Dilan..."
Ilham.
"Then what about the legs of the elo." said Nugroho cut off because again Ilham shook his head. Everyone locked his mouth. Perhaps they are thinking how crazy the mind of Inspiration is right now.
"But, Ham, we don't want anything to happen with the elo!" nugroho gusar said.
"Gue's fine, Nug!" Inspiration Reply.
Jhon glanced at the wall clock for a moment, then immediately replied. "Already! We don't have much time! We follow the word Inspiration! We have Dilan come in for him until this quarter is over! Just three minutes, guys!"
"okay!"
Ilham, Jhon, Toni, Nugroho and Madr immediately did their yel-yel quickly and they immediately came out without Inspiration. Mr. Ridwan and Rosa also came out to see the match.
"Dilan, you're in! Replace Inspiration until the third quarter is over!" Said Mr. Ridwan.
Predictably, the reserve players from the School of Health Nurses were also shocked to hear that Dilan was replacing Ilham. They are all very familiar with how the character of Dilan in playing basketball. Just like in the dressing room, there were some who protested and feared anything would happen if Dilan came in. However, upon hearing that it was all the message of Inspiration, everything was instantly silent. Just resigned.
Dilan was no less surprised. He did not think at all that the person he recently terrorized, he attacked at the request of his cousin actually gave him the opportunity to take to the field. From this opportunity Dilan tried to soften his heart.
"Don't fuck you!" nugroho's message before Dilan comes in.
Dilan. "Just calm!"
Fauzi Rizal only gave a wry smile when he found out that his own cousin had entered to replace his enemy. He felt the match would be more exciting with the presence of Dilan.
Fauzi Rizal was wrong. The allegation that Dilan will destroy all White Team play is not proven. Dilan actually helped White Team friends so they could score a lot of numbers. With the presence of Dilan on the field, White Team became superior many points until the end of the third quarter because he was proficient about scoring three points. When the whistle went loud, the scoreboard showed 55-68 for the White Team's lead.
The inspiration that knows that his team is superior only smiles. He already knows that his friends can certainly overcome it even though he does not play on the field.
"You still want to play in the fourth quarter?" ask Dad to pat his youngest son on the shoulder.
Inspiration nodded steadily. "I won't disappoint Dad. That's my promise, isn't it?"
***
When the fourth quarter began, the Dwi Citizens High School team again launched a different strategy. They try to defend as much as possible in order to make the White Team exhausted. However, of course Ilham and his friends are not provoked to obey them. They remain as passionate as possible and focused on their goals. Do your best no matter what happens.
"Spirit, spirit!" exclaimed Mr. Ridwan from the sidelines. Not just him. The reserve players, Dilan and the supporters also shouted loudly so that the White Team remained spirited until the end. The last ten minutes of the game were really a determination as to who would win.
"Fast break!" yelled John to his friends. That's a quick attack term. The ball that is now in Made's hands is directly passed to Nugroho. Then, Nugroho immediately dribbled closer to his other friends by being overshadowed by High School players Dwi Residents. Then, he immediately passed again towards Ilham.
"Shoot!!"
HUP! Imham quickly threw the ball into the ring and...
LOGGING IN! Three points for White Team!
Then, the ball was directly controlled by the Dwi Citizens High School team. They also score some numbers in order to align the score. However, until five minutes had passed, they were still eight figures behind. White Team still ahead with a score of 65-73.
"Zi!" Friends of the Dwi Citizens High School team pass to the ready Fauzi Rizal near the ring. With agility Fauzi Rizal dribbled and immediately quickly shot from a three-point line distance before the White Team could block it. Logging in! Three figures for Dwi Citizens High School. The score changed to 68-73.
"Spirit! It's still two minutes to maintain the lead!" exclaimed Nugroho with his spirit so that his friends did not limp.
During the fourth quarter, it was actually Inspiration who worked the most. In addition to the sweat that had flooded his hair and basketball shirt, his legs also still hurt. The run is also not as fast as in the first and second quarters because the knee is wrapped with a protector. But that doesn't matter to Inspiration. He is not afraid of fatigue or injury. The important thing is that he can't disappoint anyone, as Dad said. He has to play a total game in this match.
"Ohan!" exclamation Made.
Inspiration immediately catches the ball and performs lay-ups. However, unfortunately he failed to score and the ball was immediately taken over by Dwi Citizens High School. The last two minutes of the game were really stressful. There was a lot of ball grabs, but there were also many failed shots. The two teams hold each other back from scoring. Until at the end...
PRIIIIIIIII....!!!!
The whistle sounded loudly indicating the match was over. Spontaneous supporters immediately stand and give standing applause to both teams who have tried hard to fight for the victory of this Se-Lampung basketball game.
Inspiration turned towards the scoreboard. He smiled when he saw the number 80 under his team name. Meanwhile, the number 79 is listed under the team name Fauzi Rizal. They win thin!
