Chapter 75 - point guard

"We need to switch it up!".Joey commented

"Okay! Chris started."I and Julian will do everything from the three point line. Joey and Eddie,you guys are going to defend with your very lives.Bruce,you have to pass the ball efficiently"

"Got it?".Chris looked at his twin

"Yes!"

"Come on guys,This is the last quarter. Let's play like our lives depend on it,because it does!!"

With that,the fourth quarter started.Julian and Chris started closing the gap with three points but clay continued to run in behind joey and get the better of Eddie.

"Switch it up!".Chris ordered Eddie

Eddie understood what he meant—He had to block clay somehow

"Joey,take center for a minute".Eddie left the position

"Are you sure? I think you're better suited for this".Joey voiced out his concern

"Yeah,I know" Eddie stared at their formation."I need to figure out something"

Bruce took the role of a point guard by heart and had no trouble passing the ball between Julian and Chris.The problem was that their accuracy diminished with every shot

"Damn!".Julian cursed as he missed his shot

"Rebound!!!".Eddie raced forward.He got there ahead of clay

"Not today!".Clay grunted as he leaped to grab the ball

"Damn!".Eddie said

"counter!!". Someone from the opposing team said

Clay ran ahead,spun quickly and dunked the ball.The crowd went wild,they only had three minutes till the end of the last quarter.

"Why did you switch positions?!".Julian asked

"I noticed something" Eddie said."Their point guard doesn't get up close.He uses long range passes and their shooting guard has barely made an effect in this game.The last match we played,their point guard and shooting guard weren't like this."

"So..What are you saying? They're different?".Joey asked

"Well,if they were.We wouldn't notice,none of us remember their faces.We only remember clay because of how freakishly tall he is".Chris said

"I'm saying,we should exploit it". Eddie wiped his face.

Their time-out period was almost exhausted.

"Ok,I get what you're saying". Chris's face lightened up

"You sure? I certainly don't".Bruce stared at his brother

"Yes! I need you to do the same thing their point guard does"

"And you,".He turned to Julian." Try teasing their defence. I'll be the one shooting from now on"

"Joey,I need you to help Eddie.You guys shouldn't let clay get through"

"Yikes!".Bruce stared at someone in the crowd

"What is it?"

"I could've sworn I saw that guy slipping a knife to clay"

"A knife?! Are you sure!".Eddie asked

"I don't know.It was small and had a metal blade with an handle. So,you tell me?".Bruce retorted

"Clay is going to have a lot of contact with you and joey.Are you guys gonna be okay?".Chris asked Eddie

"Yeah". They both grinned at him

"Alright guys. It's now or never!!".The referee blew the whistle for the resumption of the game.

Chris's plan paid off.The opposing team had no idea how to stop Julian's run in behind.Bruce took a while but mimicked the playing style of their point guard.
