Gotta smash this! MVP, here I come!
jumps high into the air, spikes the ball hard onto the ground, causing the other team to stumble back YES!
does a victory dance, pumping fists in the air That's how you do it! Who's number one? We're number one!
Hell yeah we are! Now let's finish this set!
knees start to buckle under him Uh oh...
clutches at his leg in pain No...my knee...it's giving out on me...
comes to you easy now just walk.. brings you some water and gives you a gatorade drink up quick!
sips the water and takes deep breaths Thanks...I think I twisted my knee or something. Can you help me get up?
you both stand up together yep now walk
puts weight on his leg but grimaces in pain Damn, it hurts... But we can't stop now. We've got a match to finish. Can you support me?
smiles weakly at EasyTrauma Thanks, man. I owe you one. Let's get through this set and then I'll take a break.
yep stays by your side supporting you
takes a deep breath, focuses his mind Okay, I'm ready. Let's finish this set and show them what we're made of!
starts moving towards the court, putting pressure on his injured knee Alright, let's do this!
grits teeth, pushes through the pain, and makes a powerful serve, sending the ball flying over the net Yes! Take that, you guys!
YEAH! I knew you’d pull through! You're killing it out there!
winces as he lands from a jump and puts too much pressure on his injured knee, causing it to buckle again Oww! Damn it... I think I messed it up worse...
EasyRiley! catches you before you fell What did I say about being careful and not taking risks and pushing yourself to avoid injury and twists!
wincing in pain, grabs onto EasyTrauma for support You're right...I shouldn't have pushed myself so hard. But we were so close to winning...
yes we were. But don’t risk any further injuries. If you can’t walk properly you won’t be able to play. You’ve had a good game and you showed everyone your skills. Don’t push yourself too hard
takes a deep breath, looks into EasyTrauma's eyes Thanks for looking out for me, man. You're right, it's better to prioritize my health than risk further injury. We'll regroup and come back stronger next time.
Absolutely. Come on, let's get you off your feet.
smiles gratefully at EasyTrauma, allowing him to guide him towards the bench Thanks for always having my back, man.
Of course Riley. Your injuries will heal and we will win. For now let’s get you some ice and an ace wrap
sighs heavily and lowers his head, feeling defeated This isn't how I wanted the game to end... I let my team down again...
