Nadine and Nathan
#2
The players have re-entered the court.
The spirit of both teams is equally burning. The match is getting better. The spectator spirit is no less burning. The audience did not stop shouting yells to support the team from their respective schools.
In the middle of the quarter, Nathan who will do a lay-up accidentally collided with Chris who was about to block Nathan's shot.
Bruock!
The two team captains fell simultaneously under the ring.
Nathan fell into the wrong position. The seventeen-year-old groaned in pain while holding his knee.
Unlike Chris, whose nose is now shed fresh blood because it hit Nathan's head hard.
The match was suspended temporarily.
Nathan left court with a teammate.
Papa Dion immediately jumped out of the courseside and took a closer look at Nathan's condition.
His son was still grimacing in pain. Nathan's injury this time was pretty bad
The coach decided to replace Nathan with another player because the match had resumed.
Nadine looked at the bench from her school team.
Chris is no different than Nathan. The young man was sitting down and got first aid for his injured nose.
"How, Pa?" Nadine asked Papa Dion who just returned from the High School Hope bench. A worried look was evident on Nadine's face.
Papa Dion shook his head, though,
"Nathan cannot continue the match. The injury is pretty bad. Papa will call papa's friend" replied Papa Dion, who had taken the phone out of his pocket.
The middle-aged man was seen contacting someone and speaking seriously on the phone.
Nadine looked back at the bench from Nathan's team. Her twin brother's knee is being compressed using an ice pack right now.
The cheers from the support team were heard again. The scoreboard shows the numbers by a considerable margin now. The basketball team from Pelita High School is far behind because the captain is still getting treatment on the sidelines and can not come back to play.
In the last quarter, Chris has returned down to court.
Nathan, who was still sitting on the bench with an injured knee, could only endure the growl.
"Suck!" Nathan was upset.
Nathan still feels revenge on the number three player named Christian. But now, this damn knee injury left Nathan unable to take his revenge on Chris.
"Casual, Bro! Their team is far behind. Our school team definitely won," said a colleague of Nathan in an arrogant tone.
"Loe didn't see? Christian has played. Tim Pelita can definitely catch up quickly," Nathan said with a tone of emotion.
His partner was immediately silent
Netra Nathan didn't switch over from the top court. Occasionally the team captain shouted at his team friends who were struggling on the court, just to give spirit.
And sure enough, after the return of Chris to the court, the numbers on the scoreboard that had been a fairly far difference are now a thin difference.
"Damn!" Once again Nathan had to come back.
The last quarter is half a game. His team-mates several times foul which of course is very profitable for the team from SMA Pelita.
Opponents from the school several times get free throws because of violations committed by players from the Harapan High School team. Really a fucked up game.
Nathan had to rub his face violently a few times in order to vent the emotions and resentment in his heart.
Nathan keeps watching Chris move up the court. The wound on Chris' nose was not a problem for the young man. Chris remains agile on court and shows his best performance.
Nathan admits that Chris' stamina deserves a thumbs up. Not to mention his agile and agile movements, making his opposing team always overwhelmed when guarding Chris.
In the past, Nathan and Chris were teammates at Hope High School. Although the two are not close friends, but at that time Nathan and Chris always appear compact when on court.
Chris moved from Harapan High School and entered Pelita High School.
Pelita High School men's basketball team that was initially ordinary, this year surprisingly managed to penetrate the final round of inter-school basketball league because of the presence of Chris.
And today it looks like the men's basketball team from Pelita High School is really going to be a dark horse. The numbers on the scoreboard had already turned around by now. Pelita High School which was far behind, now has surpassed Hope High School.
One last minute.
Points on the scoreboard are five-figure difference. The players from the High School Hope team continued to struggle to score in the last seconds. They seemed unwilling if the defending champion title had to be separated today.
Nathan sitting on the bench just lowered his head. The young man seemed reluctant to watch the defeat of his team.
You idiot!
Nathan continues to blame himself for not being the team captain. If Nathan had played without emotion, maybe Nathan wouldn't have had this damn injury.
Priiiiite
The final whistle of the match had already sounded.
The points scored on the scoreboard are 74-70.
And Pelita High School is superior to Harapan High School. It is clear now, Pelita High School became the new champion this year.
The cheers from the supporters of the Pelita High School team instantly echoed throughout the sports hall.
The players from the Harapan High School team congratulated the opposing team with chest area. Sport is the main thing. Winning and losing are common in a game.
This year may be High School Hope failed to defend their title. But at least next year. And the basketball team from Harapan High School is determined to fight even harder in the next games.
With a limp step, Nathan greeted one by one members of Pelita High School basketball team while giving congratulations.
Until finally Nathan greeted Chris, the eyes of the two still shone a hostility.
"Congratulations, Chris!" Nathan shook Christian's hand tightly.
Christian just nodded and put a smile on his lips. Chris really did not want this hostility to drag on. But no matter how persistent Chris explained to Nathan, everything was just in vain.
Nathan hates Chris.
"Nathan!" The voice of Nadine becomes the end of the sharp gaze between Nathan and Christian.
"Hi, Chris! Congratulations on your team's victory today" Nadine greeted Chris and extended her hand to congratulate him.
Chris greeted him quickly,
"Thanks Nadine's. Victory too. Aren't we a school?" Chris seemed to correct Nadine's sentence just now.
Nadine just smiled as she nodded,
The girl held Nathan's arm around his neck.
"Come, Nathan! You have to go to the hospital now" Nadine guides Nathan out of the court and out of the gym.
Papa Dion is still talking to the coach and the school who are present on the field.
Looks like Nathan's gonna be playing basketball for the next few months.
