Just like that, they were up by six points with looks of confidence in their eyes. I told Paige to pass me the ball as I brought it down. I stopped at the half-court line and shot it. An had utterly forgotten that I could shoot from there as he stepped up too late.
I made the shot cutting the lead in half, the little Americans that were there started cheering us on. Boa brought down the ball and passed it to An; as soon as An received the ball, I did time freeze and stole the ball from him. When time resumed back, I had already passed him as he started looking for where the ball had gone. Still, I had already reached the 3-point line by the time he looked back as I took the shot to tie up the game.
