And so the basketball season continued on for Nabi. He never missed a single game after the first game, and he always played his best. Even though they had lost a few games, he was now sitting in the back of the locker room gearing up for the championship game…
Now, normally, he wouldn't be so nervous, because most of the time, It would just be another game. But this wasn't. This was the first championship basketball game that his school had been to for five years. And he knew that now, more than ever, he would have to give it all his best. Now he was gearing up for a long practice session…
He was broken out of his concentration when Yi-Ho came in sporting his #41 jersey,
"You ready, man?"
Nabi looked at him and said "More than I ever have…"
"Oh, by the way, there's someone waiting for you outside the locker room…"
Before he asked, Nabi already knew who it was. He chuckled a little and said "Well then, let's not keep her waiting…"
And sure enough, right when Nabi stepped out the door, Doki came and hugged him really fast that almost knocked him over. But at this point, he was used to it…
"You're gonna do great, you two!" said Doki. A few seconds after, she let go and looked at them both. She too was sporting her own outfit…
They all looked at each other, and Nabi and Yi-Ho made their way to the other players on the team to map out the game. They would go over the plays and practice for about 4 hours before they would start the game. Even though this was only the practice, he was still a little nervous.
"Well, time to show everyone what we're made of…" said Nabi
Yi-Ho and Nabi made their way to one side of the court to practice their basketball, and Doki made her way to the other side to practice the cheer session that they would be doing later on in the game.
Either way, they knew that sooner or later, the big game was getting closer with every second…
And they would have to be prepared no matter what…
To be continued…
