Just to tell you all. I did not wrote this story.
It all started as the summer was ending and school was starting. As the days quickly pass by, Sam and I spend most of our time at the basketball court. One evening as we were shooting the ball around, we saw a lonely person sitting on the bench with no one to play with. At first we thought it was a little boy who was lost of something but as we came closer to him we realized that he wasn�t very little and he wasn�t lost. Sam first said, �Hey sup, how come u sitting here all by urself?� he reply, �No one wants to play with me. They said I suck.� I reply, �Why don�t u play with us.� He happily accepted and we began shooting some hoops. As we played Sam and I realized why the other people didn�t want him to play. He couldn�t shoot; dribble, or block, but we didn�t wanna say anything. After a couple of games, we slowly got to know him a little better. We asked him wat his name was and he reply, �My name is Du Van, wat is urs.� We told him our name and we talked some more.
Then as we were resting, a couple of people were coming into the park. They started to play on our court. We told them that we were still playing there but they wouldn�t listen. We walked up to them and right away we knew that they were Jimmy and his brother Evan. They said, �You guys weren�t using it so now it�s ours.� Sam reply, �Well now we gonna use it so get off.� They in turned reply, �Too bad go get another court.� I finally said, �How about we play a game and winner get the court.� We all agreed but when Jimmy saw that Du was gonna play he was said, �One of u have to sit down cause I am not playing a 2 on 3.� I reply, �What are u afraid of. Fine Du will sit down.� Sam then said, �No he will stay in.� We all argued for a long time until Jimmy's cousin Kenny came along. Jimmy called out, �Hey Kenny come in and shoot some hoops. We will show them who got game.� And so Kenny came in and the game started. At first we took the lead and so Sam and I decided to pass the ball to Du more. But he keep missing and so the other team started catching up. Sam and I didn�t give up on Du. We wanted him to get at least one shot in so we kept on passing the ball. This was a very bad move for us as the other team used this as an advantage for themselves and they began scoring mad points. We tried our best but they were ahead by too much and so we lost the game.
After the game Jimmy said, �You guys played a great game but that fat boy sucks. He can�t even dribble the ball. Man if u haven�t gotten him on ur team we would have lost.� I reply, �He doesn�t suck he just need more practice.� Evan then interrupted, �Yea right. What he needs is some skills. Why doesn�t he go home and play game or something. How does he except to play basketball when he can�t even hold it right?� Sam reply, �He has the skills, its just that he gotta learn to use it. Not like u guys know anything about it cause u guys got none.� They reply, �Wat u say. You think we got no skills.� I answered back, �Yea that�s exactly wat we think. What u gonna do about it?� Jimmy reply, �Well then see how well my skills are with my fists.� With this Jimmy threw the first punch. Sam and I retaliated. I threw a hard punch at Evan and broke his nose but then I receive a hard kick to the stomach and felt unbearable pain. Sam blocked some shots for me as I was on the ground. But as there was three of them and only two of us, the odds was tilting in their favor. Then out of no where Du stepped in to help us. With one swing he knock Jimmy and Evan to the ground. Then he threw Kenny across the court. He was a rampage. Sam and I couldn�t even stop him. Finally we calm him down but by that time, Evan had a broken nose and a broken arm. Kenny was hurt badly and Jimmy he wasn�t moving.
As the fight ended, Kenny slowly got up and with the help of Evan they slowly drag Jimmy away. Sam and I walked out with a couple of bruise and a few cuts but nothing serious all thanks to Du. So as the sun sets and Sam left, I was there with Du and I told him, �Don�t listen to wat they have to say. It�s all a bunch of crap. You can be great if u really try.� Du looked at me and reply, �But wat they are saying is true. I do suck. Maybe I am not cut out to play basketball.� I said to him, �Don�t say that. Now come on I will give u some advice that may improve ur skills.� And so with that I showed Du some tips on basketball until it was too dark to play.
The next day, I woke up with blistering pain in my back and neck. I called up Sam and asked him if he know Du�s number so that I could call him up but he didn�t remember to write it down. I was in too much pain that day so I didn�t go to the court to shoot some hoops. I rested a couple of days and a few days later I went to the court and to my amazement, I saw Du there and he was practicing. I noticed that he gotten much better and played a game with him. I found out that he learned some new moves that was awesome. It was a very tough game but I still won. I knew that if he kept on practicing he would beat me someday. We were shooting the ball around and then Sam showed up. We played some game and then got tired. As we were resting Sam started to talk about how school was started and how we won�t be able to play basketball that much anymore. Jimmy suddenly showed up out of no where. He started playing on our court and more people came. First Evan came, and a few minutes later Kenny came.
After they shoot the balls around a couple of times, a new face that I never saw before showed up. Jimmy told us that he got a new friend named Chi that can beat us all. And the person that I never seen before was Chi. So they decided to challenge us to a game and Kenny sat out. They were winning at first with Chi sinking all of his shots. But then Sam and I put all our effort into the game and started blocking his shots. We passed the ball around and then Du out of no where charged through everybody and got the ball in. Everyone was amazed. The game carried on. The score was tied through half the game. Finally Du used all of his energy and scored like crazy. He knocked down everybody that was blocking him or was just in his way. One time as he was running in and he rammed into Sam and me. As the game was drawing to a close both sides were feeling pain. Not from exhaustion but from Du. He was tearing up the court today. Finally with one last 3 from Sam we won the game.
Jimmy all tired and out of breath said, �That was all lucky. Fat boy got lucky today.� I reply, �Why don�t u shut up and accept ur lost.� Jimmy reply,� I didn�t lose, my team did. I could beat Fat boy anytime one on one.� Du spoke up and said, �First of all my name is Du not fat boy. And second if ur so good why don�t we played a one on one right now.� Jimmy accepted and the game began. Everyone was stunned when Du beat Jimmy 11 to 5. With the game ended and the sun setting, we went home and the day came to a close. As the days pass by, school was coming closer and closer. With only a few free days left, Sam, Du, and I hang out a lot together till finally the day of school came.
