Anyway…the point was, you were entirely capable of landing three-pointers from anywhere on the court. The problem with that was, of course, the distance that the ball had to travel to make it there, as well as the speed at which it traveled.
A perfectly calculated shot had to be thrown with a certain amount of strength and precision in order to hit its target. The slightest fluctuation in either of those fields could throw off the shot entirely. The player had to be aware of each and every one of their body’s movements during each step of this process. That meant, you couldn’t just chuck the ball at the hoop and hope it went in. Chances were, the ball would burst from the sheer impact, or it would barrel straight through the backboard.
So, to break it down, both you and Abe could move at insane speeds, but the ball couldn’t. Not always, at least.
Anything that you shot from halfway across the court could be easily intercepted if Abe made the right read. And with you being the original Spider-Ben, you would do the same if you were in his shoes.
And it was for this very reason that you and him were fighting for dominance of the court. Each and every step taken was more ground gained in what felt like a war of wits and wills. It was a brutal tug-of-war that no one aside from you and Abe were entirely aware of. In the most literal sense, you and him were evenly matched.
So, it all came down to one factor.
It wasn’t luck. Luck barely came into play when two nearly identical superhumans who had near perfect control of their bodies were involved.
No. It was about who could outfox the other. And unfortunately for Abe, you’ve been outfoxing people longer than he’s been alive.
—-------
It was a close thing. Closer than you would’ve liked, but there was no question as to who the victory belonged to. You had won by two points, but you really had to hustle for that last one.
And despite there being a whole other game happening in the adjacent court, you could tell that nearly every eye was on you.
Then…the crowd went <span class="mu-i">wild</span>.
What will you do?
