The Löwenwolf - Episode 2

Episode 2 -

He is on the court, after school with his friends, in the first match of the season against the Birkenhead Hawks. Arnou shoots a 3 and swishes it. He thinks “Woah!” His friend says “Wow! You haven’t scored a 3 in a while.” Arnou says “Yeah.” He gets the ball then closes his eyes. He pounds the ball hard once then when he opens his eyes they flash golden for a split second. He dribbles up to the rim then uses the penultimate step technique to jump up and one hand dunk the ball. He lands and screams. His friends shouts “WHAT?!” He says “I just dunked!” He says “But I swear you could just touch the rim?!” Arnou says “I don’t know it just happened!”

His friend, Lupin says “They just got one of the best players in the league. No. 19. He is 6’4 and can dunk. Like you now.” Arnou goes to his coach because he calls him and says “What d’you need coach?” He says “Get your team shirt on you're starting.” Arnou says “What?! Thank you so much coach!” He gets his number shirt on and runs onto the court. His friend, Lupin, is already a starter, but he is smaller, he is 5’10 and blonde haired, but he is great. He is a small forward and shooting guard. Arnou leaps up but he just can’t jump as high as he just did or as high as the other teams’ No. 19, called Kawhi ***(Named after Kawhi Leonard)***. He gets the ball from the tip-off and zooms past Arnou and Arnou tries to run after him but he isn’t fast enough. Kawhi dunks the ball and runs back. For the first quarter, Arnou spends all of the time just getting destroyed by Kawhi. He then gets subbed off by coach and coach asks “What happened to all that jumping? What’s happening now?” Arnou says “I don’t know?!” For the second quarter, he stays off and takes a breather because he doesn’t know what’s going on. He goes to the locker room and thinks “WHY CANT I DO ANYTHING ANYMORE?!” He punches the wall and cracks it. He says “Ow!” He sees claws then someone walks in the locker room. At super speed he hides behind one of the walls in the room and breathes slowly. His claws retract and his fangs shrink in size. He comes out again and goes onto the court. He says to his coach. “I’ll be ready this quarter.” The coach says “Let’s see. Go on.” The score is 46 - 31 and they are losing bad. For the jump off, Arnou easily gets it then he overhead throws it to Lupin. Lupin dribbles it up then passes it to their 5’8 point guard. Arnou calls for the ball and he gets it. He power dribbles up to Kawhi and dunks over him. Kawhi falls to the floor and everyone is hype. Kawhi gets up and shoves Arnou but he barely moves. Arnou shoves him and he goes flying into the wall. Everyone goes up to stop Arnou and he complies. Lupin says “When did you get so strong?!” Kawhi gets up and walks up to the front of their half.

Kawhi dribbles up to dunk but Arnou leaps up and blocks it. He grabs the ball and dribbles at really high speed. About 30mph. It starts to get suspicious then he leaps up and slam dunks the ball. He hangs on the rim then jumps off. Arnou balls out, scoring 28 points in that quarter. Arnou is so happy! He could make it to the A Team! They finish the game at 113 - 62, almost beating them by double. Arnou gets off of the pitch and wipes his face with a towel. Lupin says “What bro?! You balled out! 51 points and you were out a whole quarter!” Arnou says “I don’t know bro. I guess it’s just training.” He then zips up his bag and takes off his number shirt. Lupin says “That one time on the pitch. Near the start of the third quarter. You ran so fast. Like insanely fast. Usain Bolt fast!” Arnou says “You think?” Lupin says “For sure!”
