218 Team work make the dream work

[PRESENT TIME]

The sound of the ball bouncing off the ground rang louder than it should have. Before Atlas knew it, he caught the ball that was coming straight in his direction.

For a moment, everything slowed down in his perspective. Looking up at everyone on the court, he could see the horror plastered on his teammates and the slight surprise of the enemy team. He didn't mean to look, but his eyes caught how many seconds were left before the ended.

Their scores were at a tic.

His heart thudded against his chest, and somehow, he could even hear it in his cars. "Atlas! Pass!" one of his teammates yelled, but in Atlas's ears, it sounded a lot distant and slowed. "Atlas...!"

When Atlas glanced at the teammate to pass it, he saw another from the opposing team block him. If Atlas passed it to him, there was a high chance that a professional player would steal it. As a professional basketball player, he would surely score in the last few seconds. Atlas couldn't risk it.

"Shoot...!" Hugo's mouth moved wider as if he knew Atlas could do it.

Atlas glanced at the timer. Five seconds left.

Taking a deep breath, Atlas lifted his arms and held the ball just like how he had been practicing. As he did so, he couldn't help but remember all the days he practiced shooting under the guidance of his father. All the advice his father told him rang in his head, taking a small leap as he threw the ball from where he was. O
