Jason had just gotten caught in the screen as he cursed in his head 'Fuck! Why now? Why at the most crucial moment?!'
Jason saw as his defensive assignment stopped at the free throw line. From how he had dipped the ball down Jason knew that he was about to get in his shooting motion.
And without a defender anywhere near him there was a good chance that the mid range jumper would go in.
'Is this how things are going to end? Is our basketball season finished? No! I can't let that happen! I made a promise to Kyle!'
Even though his legs had just given out on him Jason pushed as hard as he could. He tried to squeeze out any strength that was still hiding deep within his bones.
His mind went blank as he found himself getting closer and closer to his defensive assignment that he had lost on the screen.
"Ahhhhh!" Jason leapt up into the air Just as the Small Forward had raised the ball to eye level. With his right hand on top of the ball Jason pushed down as hard as he could.
