"Why do they look creepy?" Albert whispered to David next to him.
"Eitherway! I feel something is strange." David replied in a whisper.
"Max.the ball was thrown here." Shouted Albert after nodding his head at David.
HUP
BUGH
"God..."
"Are you okay, Al?" Ask David who approached Albert who fell due to his legs blocked by a man with the number 3 back.
"Yes. I'm fine." Albert then stood up assisted by David.
"It seems they're starting to play rough." David stared intently at the man with no back 3 who had just passed the ball to Gibran.
"Go Gibran..." The cheerleader's shout was encouraging after Gibran managed to score 2 points.
The ball now turns to Rihan's hand. Rihan calmly dribbled so Gibran began to try to get close to Rihan. Gibran then codes Johar, the man with the number 3 to get close to Rihan.
Rihan who knows it, just a glance and start moving/twisting the body while resting on one of the legs. While moving, Rihan continues to keep the ball so that it is not captured by the opposing team. What Rihan is doing is a pivot technique.
Gibran who saw Rihan's movements, just gritted his teeth. Rarely does anyone use the pivot technique perfectly like Rihan did. Gibran himself always relied on his pivot technique to outwit opponents. And unstepped, Rihan used it to keep him from taking the ball away from him.
"Alexes..." Call Rihan and throw the ball at Alex when at first glance he sees Johar wanting to block his leg. Rihan then jumped to avoid Johar's devious moves.
HUP
Alex caught the ball. Alex then dribble the ball up to a few meters in front of the opponent's ring, Alex then do a jump shoot and...
TUKS
SRING
Alex scored 2 points for his team.
[COLD MAN'S WARMTH.].
"The call for Alex's brother turned out to be cool as well" Canda Albert then chuckled followed by David and Max.
"I agree." Reply Max.
"Time's running out, don't let them add any more points." Said Rihan quickly.
Current score 20: 10.
"Ready!"
The game continues. Till...
Prieeeet
"Yes! Young Master Rehhand's team won..." Shouts of Rihan's fans.
"Preserve his teamwork. Remember not to be fooled, and watch their movements." Said Rihan to the four men by walking hand to the place of the wife.
"Ready. "
"Drink it, Young Master." Ayu and Ariana almost simultaneously gave a bottle of water to Rihan who had just sat down.
Rihan only stared flatly at the two girls in front of him who were trying to attract his attention. While Dian, he also wanted to do it, but not so because Ariana and Ayu had already done it first. So Dian switched on to the four men in front of her.
"I'm sorry for being late, Young Master. Here's your drink, sir." Alen with breath gasping for running.
"Hm." Deheman Rihan then received the drink and gulped it down.
Ariana and Ayu who saw him could only sigh in disappointment and stare at Alen. Unfortunately, Alen didn't care about it.
On the Gibran side.
BRACKET
"Damn...why did we lose so far?" Angry Gibran after throwing his drinking bottle which he did not have time to spend because of emotions.
"And you Johar, I ask you to execute Plan B. Then what are you doing?" Gibran asked as he picked up a new drink beside him and drank it.
"Sorry, Boss. I've done it, and only the man called Albert gets hit, but he's fine. As for Young Master, it seems like he knows our plan so as to dodge." Johar replied staring in fear at Gibran.
"You're the stupid one! After this third round, I hope that not only Johar did it, but the others as well. I don't want to lose to that antisocial guy. Whatever we do, we have to win. Because a Gibran never loses." Gibran squeezed the strong drink bottle in his hand venting out his anger.
"Good, Boss."
Prieeets.
The two teams regrouped as the third round was about to begin.
"Because the first half and the second half of the result is a draw, then there is a third round as well as the deciding round who the winner. Both teams ready?" Ask the referee at the end of his sentence.
Usually basketball requires 4 sets to play, but they do not play full and only play using simple methods. Points are taken like in a volleyball game.
"Ready."
Prieeets.
The game begins.
Team Gibran is in control.
"Throw the ball here, Jo." Shouted Gibran to Johar.
HUP
"Heh... want to fight me? Never dream!" Ejek Gibran who managed to avoid Max and Albert.
Gibran is now getting closer to the opposing ring. Using the Slam dunk technique which is a technique to shoot the ball by jumping into the air, where players must be able to jump as high as possible and insert the ball directly into the basket. So, the ball is not just thrown or tossed towards the ring.
When Gibran managed to jump and wanted to enter the ball,
SLAPS
Someone managed to push the ball into the ring. Finally the ball that Gibran wanted to enter, did not make it in. Gibran angrily stared intently at the person who had been preventing him from putting the ball into the ring.
"You can always read my moves, Young Master." Gibran growled in his heart while staring at Rihan who apparently jumped with Gibran to stop the ball that will be inserted into the ring.
Rihan, who was aware of the gaze, only replied with a wry smile on Gibran, making Gibran more emotional.
"You want to play with me. Let's just see!" Gibran murmured inwardly as he clenched his hand.
...
The ball is now in Max's hands because it was just passed by Rihan. Max seriously begins to dribble the ball towards the opponent's ring, but, hindered by Johar and one more friend. It seems they don't want to let Max get past them.
Prieeets.
"What's wrong?" Max asked confused as time was still there but the referee had already stopped the game.
"Brottling!" Referee answered making Max look up while Johar and his friend smiled happily.
"You mean?" Max was confused.
"Rules of 8 seconds." Referee made Max aware that he was being strictly impeccably obstructed, in order for him to make a foul.
The 8-Second Rule states that a player can keep the ball in his own team area, but is limited to 8 seconds. If the ball is still in the team's defensive area after 8 seconds, this is considered a violation.
The game is getting more intense now. Gibran's team is 2 points ahead. 12:10, while the time is still 5 minutes passed.
"I want Albert's first man." Gibran's Whisper on Johar.
"Ready, Boss." Reply Johar then headed to his friend and whispered the same sentence then embraced by the player numbered 5 backs.
The ball is now in Max's hands. He is trying not to commit any more offences. Max then looked at Albert who was now close to him.
"Al.. ball." Call Max and throw the ball at Albert.
HUP
Albert caught the ball. Max then dribbles the ball into the opponent's ring.
"Just..." Call Albert and throw the ball at Rihan.
HUP
BRACKET
The ball was captured by Rihan, along with Albert's fall because it was intentional by Johar who blocked Albert's leg when he was about to step.
Rihan just stared flatly at Johar and his friend. Rihan turns to look at Alex and then gives the code to look at Albert. After Alex headed to Albert, Rihan began dribbling low until approaching the opponent's ring.
Rihan frowned as Gibran and a friend blocked his path. Rihan realized something and glanced at the passing game time.
"Want me to make a breach?" Rihan's mind put on a slanted smile at Gibran.
Rihan is aware that Gibran wants to make him commit a foul, or break the 24 Seconds rule, where players can make an attack in just 24 seconds before the ball hits the ring. If the attack is carried out more than the specified time, the team will be declared a violation.
Rihan who wants to play around with Gibran just trying to dodge while glancing at the time that shows how many seconds Rihan attacked.
Rihan who was playing around, made Gibran think that he could not avoid to commit a foul later. after 20 seconds, the time is already 20 seconds, Rihan again performs the pivot technique to avoid Gibran and his friend.
Rihan then uses Lay Up or a technique that combines three movements at once, namely running, jumping, and shooting the ball. After dribbling the ball and successfully escaping Gibran, Rihan stepped wide twice towards the ring, then jumped while tossing the ball to get into the basket.
TUKS
Rihan managed to score 2 points so that their score to 12 points, a 1 point difference with Gibran team.
"Damn it. That bastard!" Gibran condemned her for not allowing Rihan to make the offense.
...
It was still 8 minutes, but the referee suddenly gave an impromptu break because Albert who suffered an injury to his leg due to a fall earlier.
"Are you okay, Al?" David asked when he saw Albert's swollen legs.
"It seems they are desperate to win. Aw..." Albert replied grimacingly as Rihan pressed against his swollen, bluish leg.
Rihan opened his bag and picked up a small bottle of perfume and began spraying on Albert's feet.
"Well, that's a quick effect." Albert was happy because his legs were starting to feel better.
Make no mistake if the effect is that fast, because it is a special concoction for bruises and sprains so Rihan always takes him everywhere.
"I'm sorry, Al." Max felt guilty.
" Hey.it's nothing, don't think too much." Albert is not feeling well. The risk of playing with a cheat was common for Albert.
"You can still play, Al?" Ask David.
"could. My leg seems to have healed." Albert answered and stood up.
"Sit's at your place." Said Rihan flat.
"But what about the game?" Albert hesitated and sat back down.
"Let me play, sir." Tawar Alen's.
