Liam: sure thing, let's go
( Hayato changes into his gear)
(Hayato taps his shoe on the floor)
Hayato: how about we play a friendly one vs one , for old time's sake
Liam: okay, but don't expect me to go easy on you
Hayato: we'll be playing ones and twos, so threes counts as two and twos count as ones, first to sixteen
Liam: you're still as cunning as ever, taking advantage of the fact that I can't shoot
Hayato: it may be the only way that I can win against you
Hayato: okay, I'll shoot for it
(Hayato shoots a three pointer)
(Swoosh)
Hayato: lucky, I sank my first shot of the day, you are totally going to lose
Hayato: check up you big old giant
(Liam passes the basketball to Hayato)
(Liam takes a defensive stance)
Liam: bring it on
(Hayato fakes)
(Liam doesn't move an inch)
(Hayato): so you really think that I'm bluffing huh
(Hayato shoots a three pointer)
(Swoosh)
Hayato: that's two points, you better guard me up close if you want to win because I'm on fire today
(Liam passes the basketball to Hayato)
Hayato: come on you won't step up? Are you sure that you want to give up two more points?
Liam: you have to show me that you can score efficiently before I respect your outside shots
Hayato: okay, that's just disrespectful, if you are not going to step up , then its time for you to check up
(Hayato shoots a three pointer)
(Swoosh)
(Ball falls to the ground)
(Hayato): man am I on fire today, three consecutive three pointers in a row
Hayato: are you still going to sit back and watch me beat you sixteen to zero?
(Liam passes the basketball to Hayato)
(Liam starts applying defensive pressure on Hayato)
( Hayato ): yes , that's much better
(Hayato sweeps and then attacks Liam's left leg)
(Liam runs him down)

Hayato: damn so high, you sure can jump
Liam: check up
(Hayato passes the basketball to Liam)
(Liam bodies Hayato all the way to the rim)
(Hayato): damn , he's really strong
(Liam then spins off of Hayato and dunks)
(Basketball bounces on the floor)
Liam: only fifteen more to go
Hayato: and you're saying that I have the advantage
(Liam takes two steps and then dunks the basketball)
(Liam shoots a Layup)
(Swoosh)
(Hayato): there is no way that I can guard that, the difference in our height, wingspan and athletic is far too great, i can't take him on the post, I'll have to figure out a way to stop him
(Liam fakes to the left and then shoots a layup on the right)
(Swoosh)
(Liam shoots a floater)
(Swoosh)
(Liam dribbles the basketball to the hoop)
(Liam shoots a hook shot)
(Swoosh)

(Liam crosses Hayato and then hop stepped into a reverse dunk)
(Liam shoots a left handed layup)
(Swish)
(Hayato): yeah there's no way that I'm beating him, I can't stop his offense, he's so strong and powerful , having him on our team would make us the best in the prefecture
(Liam shoots a Layup)
(Swoosh)
Liam: and just like that it's now ten to four, six more points to go until you're beaten, your cheeky tactics won't save you this time
Hayato: I may be lacking in height compared to you but I'm not just going to roll over here
(Hayato passes the basketball to Liam)
(Liam backs down Hayato)
(Hayato): Just try to match his rhythm, find that brief moment that the ball will show, and then rush in an steal it now!!
(Hayato steals the basketball)
(Liam): whoa, he took the ball away from me, not bad Hayato
(Hayato dribbles outside the three point arc)
(Hayato drive towards the rim)
(Liam rushes towards him)
(Hayato hop steps and fakes a Layup)
(Liam attempts to block)
(Liam): he faked me out
(Hayato steps through and goes for a reverse layup)
(Liam attempts to block but was to late)
(Swoosh)
Hayato: I totally got you didn't i?
(Liam smiles)
Liam: you were just lucky that's all
Hayato: we'll see about that, I'll turn this game around
(Liam passes the basketball to Hayato)
(Hayato): I bet he wouldn't expect me to shoot now since I broke through to the rim earlier, I'll just shoot so that I can close the gap
(Hayato shoots a three pointer)
(Liam jumps and blocks the basketball)
(Hayato): damn he really can reach pretty high, his defense is almost impenetrable

Hayato: yeah, you won fare and square, though you were using your height to gain the upper hand
Liam: don't be making excuses a lost is a lost
(Liam jumps down)
Hayato: yeah you're right and I accept it
Liam: this was truly fun , let's do this again some day
Hayato: yes, definitely
