The cheers from the stands filled the field. Inter-school basketball matches, to take a semi-final position are taking place here. The whistle had rang, other school basketball players had walked to the edge of the field, grasping the results of each match. The first match today is over.
Bina walked behind less than ten of her basketball kids. The next game is their match against the school that a few months ago coached a match with them.
Ucup had already jumped up and down to reheat his body. They warmed up about ten minutes ago. Now they are just mild heating.
“It's the fifth game right, Dek?” Wawan approached Bina.
Bina nodded. All this time their match was not easy. The difference from the points they can also not compare far from the opponent's point. And their last game with their opponents now is not good either. When training to fight first they lost a landslide.
It made Bina a little tense in its establishment.
“Gapa, we can definitely.” Wawan patted Bina on the shoulder, the basketball captain smiled, calming her coach girl.
“And we have made a good strategy. Sure win.” Wawan raised his fist, comforting also increased his spirit. Honestly he was also a bit fluttering with their match this time around.
Bina nodded again. “Iya, Brother.”
Revelations glanced at Bina, the young man sighed for the umpteenth time upon seeing the girl. He was sure that the girl had been avoiding him all this time, no conversation or greeting that Bina had thrown at him. Bina always goes to avoid every time she opens a chat, pretends not to see it, or ignores every word she says.
“Dek Build.”
Bina turned her head as her name was called with a voice that of course she was familiar with. A voice that he always ignored and would not listen to. The look in his eyes with a tall figure beside him met, they had not had eye contact like this for a long time.
Bina let out a sigh, her chest pounding every time she heard the name of this young man called out by no one, and pounding even more as they made eye contact. Bina quickly turned her gaze to Ucup. He approached the young man to give him a bottle of water even though Ucup did not ask for it. He was too afraid of falling too deeply into the Revelation. He was afraid of hurting many hearts, because of his uncertain love.
Ucup stared confusedly at his coach girl as well as a drinking bottle he held. The young man blinked his eyes many times. He's confused.
“Drink first Brother,” Bina said quickly, he reached for Ucup's hand forcing the young man to hold the drinking bottle in his hand.
After being accepted by Ucup even though he was still with a confused face, Bina walked quickly to sit himself on the chair. ‘Ngapain is so, not very clear.’ Bina complains about his behavior.
It's always like this, during practice, during games, and as long as they cross paths at school, there really is never any dialogue between them. Revelation even thought hard in his head, he was afraid that his attitude would hurt Bina. Or whatever it is. But all this time, he never found anything. Even so, he often said sorry to Bina even though he did not know what his mistake was. And Bina's response just shook her head and said, ‘So no wrong,’ then go dodge.
Even so, he was still determined to apologize. He had to repair his relationship with Bina. Somehow. At least they should be friends again.
"Yu,” Ucup patted the shoulder of Revelation. “Look,” the young man smilingly pointed his index finger towards the stands, at the figure of the young man whom of course they were familiar with.
Revelation chuckled to see him a young man in a scout uniform sitting in the stands there. His friend that one is indeed the best support system himself, Ucup, and Wawan. Although he said he did not like basketball very much, but the young man always took the time to watch their games.
“Woy Irgi, want to join basketball?” Wawan shouted, then chuckled when he saw the response of his head with a flat face from a friend there.
The basketball kids looked at him. No exception Revelation an Ucup, the two young men laughed holding their bellies. Irgi and basketball offers are jokes that never become extinct like him.
...
The whistle sign of the match will begin to sound, along with the ball thrown high by the referee on the pitch. Bina straightened her seat on the chair, not much different from the replacement team sitting next to her. They were too fluttering with the match this time.
Wawan managed to grab the ball, the young man immediately passed the ball to Ucup quickly. Ucup catches the ball easily. The young man was silent still dribbling the ball in his hand. Two men have taken care of him. He was confused, their guard was too tight. His eyes glanced right and left, all the members of his team had been blocked. Ucup smiled, the match had just started, but the opposing team had already started with this.
Ucup bent his knees, acting like jumping to enter the ball. Seeing that, the two people guarding him jumped up, trying to thwart Ucup's actions. But wrong, Ucup did not jump, the young man looked down, ran to the left to pass the Revelation on the right.
Upon receiving the ball, Revelation quickly jumped to do the shooting, creating three numbers for their team.
The match is getting tougher. A lot of applause they got also******* was disappointed from the audience in the stands. Their game time is fast, faster than usual. Both teams continue to score points no one wants to give up one.
They keep running, jumping, blocking opponents to get points. Their team continues to score points, as well as the opposing team that does not want to lose. Their points are balanced, as time goes on. Nobody leads, nobody gets left behind. Both teams are really balanced.
Bina glanced at the point number. Seventy with seventy-one opponent points, very thin. He took a deep breath, easing his chest tightness at the match. Both teams played very fast. If a team of one team scores points, then the next point scorer is the opposing team. So continuously, until now they stepped on the fourth round of matches.
This way they could lose. Like competing stamina, stamina their team is less than good. Bina stood up from her seat after sighing deeply. He approached the referee. Ask for time out for their team. He has to change strategy. If this continues they will lose in stamina.
The whistle is blown when the opposing team successfully scores a point, the referee tells the time out for their team. Five more minutes of the game and they have to change their style of play or strategy.
“Dek,” Wawan walked then sat next to Bina.
Bina stood up, looking at her basketball children who were now sitting on the bench. He sighed. “We change strategy.”
“We have to slow down tempo?” Ucup asked after downing the bottle.
“Do not drink much,” Bina snatch the bottle from Ucup's hand, staring at the young man sharply.
“Haus, Bin,” the young man was singing his lips.
Wagner just kept quiet to see that. “So?”
“We still use regular tempo. But Kak Wawan became the center,” said Bina.
“Loh Bin, Revelation?” Confused UCup.
“I want, Brother Wawan who scored the most points. The opposing team continues to guard Brother Ucup, or brother Wahyu, but brother Wawan continues to be empty. That could be our chance to make a lot of points.”
Team members look at each other. They are Confused, because Wawan himself is a point guard who can manage the match stably. Ucup was about to make his voice.
“Oke.” Wawan said, he nodded his head, making Ucup close his mouth again. He did not understand how or what Bina's plan was. But he is sure, Bina must have something that can make them win.
“Loh Wan.” Ucup stood up to protest, he was a little worried about their game later.
The revelation of the young man was silent. He will obey everything Bina said for their match. Even though he was worried too.
“Udah Cup,” Wawan stands together with a whistle that reads, signaling their time has run out.
“Come on us spirit.” Wawan said sticking out his hand to invite his friends before entering the field.
Ucup and Revelation glanced at each other. Then before long they put their hands together and bertos, before walking in on the field.
The whistle is again sounded, the ball is also thrown back up. The match starts with a point print by the opponent. But not long in reply with mold points from their team.
The fierce match happened again. However, their team is now more stable than ever. Opponents seem confused by their team positions, confused about which one to keep.
Eighty-three points with seventy-seven points, they managed to get with less than two minutes remaining.
Until the match ended with a shrill whistle. Bina smiled looking at the field. They learn quickly, even though they are not perfect. His basketball kids are now walking towards the side of the court with a big smile. Winning the victory for the umpteenth time.
