The first half was finally over, and we were only down by ten good points, generally, in the past, the Ground Force would be down by 20 + points, but this year it seemed like they had some fire in their eyes as they played hard and made buckets.
It was finally my turn to step on stage with the other bench players. When I stepped on the court, the crowd on our side started barking like dogs. This made me smile as I waved at them, the Marines were surprised and wondered what a rookie could do because I looked young at the time, and they had never seen me before.
The Marines figured I wouldn't be that good as these were my beginning games, but I proved them wrong very quickly when I made my first 3-point shot. They thought it was pure luck and continue not to guard me as much. I brought the ball down, spun off my defender, and took a shot from close to the three-point line.
