Before I start with the final chapter of this Big Tex story that I'm writing I wanted to explain why I am ending it now. The reason I am making the part 3 of my Big Tex story the last is most good multi-part stories never go past three parts; hence the term trilogy. There are only a few exceptions like the Harry Potter series but those only come around once a blue moon. Now, with that out of the way, to the story.
The ball was tipped off, right into Tex's hands, from being nervous he froze for a millisecond but then instinct kicked in. He took of towards the basket, it was two on one, Ramon on the right and Tex filling the other lane with the ball. They both raced towards the defender as he could do nothing but back pedal. Tex looked in Ramon's eyes and they read each other like a book. Tex let the ball fly towards the rim and at the moment Ramon leaped in the air, grabbed the ball, and flushed it to complete the alley-oop. Little did they know that the one play they just ran would set the tone for the whole game.
Throughout the rest of the game Big Tex and Ramon continued to feed off each other. Both of them compiling numerous, or in Ramon's language "grande," amount of statistics. However, the rest of the team was not pulling their weight and score was somehow close. Big Tex saw that if he didn't do something soon then this game would not end the way he envisioned it would. He decided it was time to take action. He first called a timeout and began to motivate his team with the translation given my Ramon since he was on a team that only had one person that spoke any English at all. After that, he went out and lead by example, the first play out of the timeout he came out played hard defense, stole the ball, and went to the other end for a monstrous dunk. That sparked the team and following a three made by Tex his team led by 3. They then got a stop on defense, and with two seconds left the other team fouled Tex. He had two shots to ice the game. The crowd went to a silence, he dribbled the ball twice, then swoosh, he hit the first one. "Only one more left he told himself," and at the end of that thought he made the second one. The other team through it in but it was to no use. The crowd was already storming the court and carrying Big Tex off because he was the MVP off the tournament. However, that was nothing to the gift he was about to receive. After the arena cleared one man remained besides Tex. It was Coach Larry Brown. Coach of the NBA team named the Charlotte Bobcats. With one smooth sentence, "Do you want to play for my team?" Tex jumped up and screamed, "YES!!!" With that being said, Tex realized his dream had came true and he had accomplished what he came to do. He made it to the NBA.
I feel like you really reflected yourself in your character "Big Tex". Is it your dream to make it into the NBA?
ReplyDeleteYes, but I know I probably will not be able to play but I would like to coach someday.
