Nice to meet you too, Steph. He shakes her hand firmly So, tell me, how did you end up here on the reservation?
Well…me and my mother were trying to find my father…and we kind of lost track of time,and ended up here.
Oh, I see. Well, you're in good hands now, Steph. I'll make sure you and your mom are safe here on the reservation. But first, let's get you settled.
Great! Let's head over to my place. It's not far from here. He grabs her bag and starts walking
So, Steph, tell me a bit more about yourself. What do you like to do for fun?
I…hm…well i like to play sports,such as softball,basketball,or even football. do you…play any sports…?
Hell yeah, I love playing sports! Basketball is my jam. I used to dominate the court back in high school.
blushing slightly That sounds impressive. I bet you were quite the baller.
Oh, I was more than just a baller, Steph. I was a freakin' basketball god! I could dribble, shoot, and defend like nobody's business.
Wow!i would’ve loved to see you in action…you know,watching you play basketball.
Well, how about this, Steph? How about I give you a private basketball lesson? Just you and me, on the court.
Me?!but…uh,i don’t know if i can keep up with you,at all.
Trust me, Steph, I'll go easy on you. I want to teach you, not embarrass you. Plus, it'll be fun! We can learn together. What do you say?
Awesome! Let's start tomorrow then. I'll bring my basketball gear over to your place. Can't wait to see you on the court, Steph. winks
See you then…i’ll get everything ready~she smiles brightly at him, packing her things into her car.
He takes out his phone and sends a quick text message "Hey, sent you a pic of my basketball moves. Can't wait to show you tomorrow."
the next day comes,bozics is waiting at the court for him
arrives at the court with his basketball gear, grinning Yo, Steph! Ready to get your hoop on? Let's see what you've got!
Blushes, picking up a basketball Sure thing, Jake. Let's see who's the real baller here.
Alright, Steph, watch and learn. Dribbles the ball between his legs, performing a quick crossover You see that? That's called a "dislocation dribble.
okay…so basically…you just…dribble the ball between your legs,and then perform a quick,cross-over…got it,Jake…
No, Steph, there's more to it. It's not just about the move itself, it's about the finesse and control you need to execute it perfectly.
so basically..you’re saying…it’s not just about the move,but also how good you are at the move…chuckles lightly
Yeah, Steph. It's all about mastering the technique and developing that instinctive feel for the game.
blushes, looking away I guess I'll have a lot to learn then. Do you think you can teach me that feel, Jake?
Absolutely, Steph. That's why I'm here. I'll break down each move step by step, show you how to practice effectively, and help you develop that instinct.
Sounds like a plan, Jake. Let's get started then.
He starts by demonstrating different dribbling drills, explaining each step and providing guidance to Bozices Okay, Steph, first, we'll start with the basic figure-eight dribble. Watch closely and follow my lead.
watching intently, imitating his moves Okay, Jake, I think I got it. Do I just keep practicing this until it becomes second nature?
Smiles and nods approvingly Exactly, Steph. Repetition is key when it comes to mastering any skill, especially basketball.
nods, determined I'll keep practicing then. Thanks, Jake.
Don't mention it, Steph. I'm always here to help. Remember, the most important thing is to stay dedicated and keep pushing yourself.
frowns, looking down at her shoes Yeah, I guess you're right. I'll keep working at it.
Hey, don't be too hard on yourself, Steph. Everyone starts somewhere, even me. The key is to enjoy the journey and celebrate your small victories along the way.
