Rebound: A 2nd Chance

“I'll just force them to recognize and respect the blood and sweat that I'm dripping on the hardwood. Because I don't hold anything back. I leave everything out on the court." -Jason Yang. Ever since one fateful moment Jason had been hooked to basketball. The phrase “Ball is life” couldn’t be anymore true for Jason. He wasn’t born with any god given talent nor did he posses the body of a natural born athlete. The only thing Jason could rely on was his unbreakable will. But after ten years of not being able to make the jump to the professional level doubts begin to crawl into Jason’s mind for the first time. Just as he was at a turning point in his life Jason dies only to find that he has woken up twenty years in the past. Can he utilize his years of experience and the skills he developed as a collegiate player to make it to the professional level in this second chance at life? - - - Updates: I try for one chapter a day but sometimes life happens.

Rematch, a battle in the paint

This time around Nashton Academy ran a pick and roll play with their Point Guard and 3D. But as good as 3D was at setting screens Jason easily went under it before quickly sticking back to his defensive assignment.

The amount of space Jason allowed between him and his defensive assignment was small and the length of time where that space was available was short as well.

The Point Guard had no chance to get a shot off using the screen. 3D made his way back down to the post as they tried to run another play.

Nashton Academy tried to run some off ball screens but with Jason directing the defense they were able to prevent any open looks.

3D waved off his teammates as he decided to go one on one against Kyle again. He began backing down Kyle.

Kyle tried his best to fight against 3D's physicality but after a few seconds he found himself getting closer and closer to the basket.
