《The Extraordinary Player》Trying out for a team 2
Advertisement
We position our selves in the center of the court for the jump ball our center was Miguel who was taller than me by 4 to 5 inches and the opponents center was Cardo when we finish positioning our selves in the middle of the court both centers got ready for the jump ball the one win the tip-off was Miguel because he was taller than all of us, after winning the tip-off Jose got the ball and started dribbling and started going to the basket, he asks for a pick and i immediately set a pick the defender goes over the pick and my defender decided to follow Jose but they didn't know we decided to go for and pick&pop after i receive the ball i shoot the ball to the hoop and it went in.
After my shot went in Vince who was their point guard receives the ball from the player who made the inbound after he crosses the half court line he passed the ball to Patrick who was being defended by me, he made his move and did a double crossover but i stick with him but after he got close to the basket he made a step-back jumper and the ball didn't go in and the rebound was caught by Vince after Vince got the rebound he immediately passes it to Emmanuel who was open for a jump shot when Emmanuel shot the ball it went it and the game was tied.
After they scored, we immediately go for the offense Jose who was our point guard was trying to set up a play. Paulo who was freed because of the screen of Miguel receive the ball from Jose and he shot for a three-point shot but the shot didn't go in and the rebound was pick up by Vince who threw the ball to Patrick who was already close to the basket after he catches the ball he did a layup to the basket. After a series of scoring against each other now were on the final 2 points and the game was tied (P.S the game is up to 21 which is commonly used in the Philippines for 5v5 games in the local courts)

for our 19th point, I told my teammates that i wish to take the shot and i have convinced them that i will make sure the shot goes into the hoop they reluctantly agree because they know i have scored most of our points for the game. After they agree i told them my plans which was they would set a screen for me to be free .
*********************************************************************************************
The difference between Pick and a Screen pick is set when someone has the rock. A screen is set to free someone up. I'm pretty sure the difference is that a pick is for someone who has the ball and a screen is for someone moving without the ball. Pick is set when someone has the rock.
************************************************************************************
After i told them my plans we decided to do it and Jose who was our point guard crosses the half court line and started the play i that i have told him and me i was position in the right side corner of the three-point line Jerome who was gonna set up a screen for me has arrived in the position where i told him to make a screen for me after I saw him moving to the place i told him where to make a screen i immediately goes there after i go over the screen the defender who was supposed to defend me go hit by the screen and i was free to shoot a jump shot and Jose immediately passed the ball to me to shoot a jump shot. After i shot the ball to hoop the ball bounce into the ring of the basket it kept bouncing until it eventually falls down the hoop. I thought to myself "i remember seeing a shot like that in the NBA i think it was the game between Sixers vs Raptors Game 7 where

After i scored the opponent team made sure that they were calm after adjusting their mindset, their eyes were looking at the basket to score. When i scored we immediately go for a full-court press so they will have a hard time crossing the ball the one who receives the ball to them was Patrick who was the fastest on their team after crossing the half court line he passes the ball to Cardo who was open for a three-point shot at the left side corner. when he shot the ball my Paulo slightly touches the ball so we all get ready for the rebound. when the ball rich the hoops it bounces off the ring and Miguel who was the taller than all of us got the rebound and when he got down he secured the ball and passes the ball to me after i cross the halfcourt line i passed the ball to Miguel he immediately passed the ball back to me (2. give and go ) After he passed the ball back to me i did a floater(3) and the ball went in and we won the game me and my teammates celebrated after we finish celebrating we go to our opponent to make a handshake.
After the game was finished the coaches told us to wait for 30mintues to 1 hour so they could decide who will they take in the team After waiting for about 45minutes the coaches began calling the name of the players who made into the team and they told us they will only 13 players the first one to be called was Miguel, followed by: Patrick, Emmanuel, Jose, Joshua, James, Anthony, Luis, Lawrence, Alfonso, Daniel, Mark, And Skyler
After they called our names they said to us that we could go home and come here tomorrow morning for practice

Magnus
Updates daily at 23:06 UTC. 2/1/2021 NOTE! This trilogy is being published by Aethon Books starting with book one on 5/1/2021. All books have been removed from RoyalRoad. This story was posted on RR in its entirety before being removed. Magnus Cromwell kills for a living. He’s organized, professional, efficient. Like a machine. But when his family’s life is on the line? That’s something else. That calls for the kind of warm-blooded vengeance that scorches earth and summons tungsten rods from space, leaves a whole lot of melted flesh, and no one to tell the tale. It should've been a blue milk run. As by-the-book as it gets. With his sister Nina out safe and the opposition decimated by hypersonic gunfire, MC wondered where they got the guts to even try. Then something hits him. Lays him out cold, and leaves him waking up to a fantasyland with nothing but his armor and a half-written note to guide him. It's a strange place where even stranger predators eye him for their next meal. Where his life’s on a timer, and where the darkest horrors haunt his dreams, painting visions of death. There's no right day to mess with Magnus Cromwell. But the universe sure managed to pick the absolute worst one. --- - MC is stone-cold, strong(OP), and gets even stronger, but he'll still face his fair share of challenges, both internal and external. - LitRPG-lite. No stats and an unconventional system. Expect abilities and progressions, but there will only ever be a handful of them. - Science Fiction and Fantasy collide, with a touch of mystery, Lovecraft, and body horror. - Professionally painted art scenes! - This series is finished. A Huge thank you to RoyalRoader MikeWe for the banner, and to NoDragons for his help editing the synopsis.
