Feint the drive again, pull up for the jumper

You dribbled hard, took two steps left. Tiffany slid with you. You stopped, popped back for a pull-up. The shot felt good leaving your hand. It hit the front rim. It bounced out. Tiffany grabbed the rebound.

"Looks like your rookie year stats are showing, Emperor," Tiffany said, bringing the ball out to the top.

She dribbled once. She spun. You tried to stay with her. She stepped back, a quick jumper. Swish. Tiffany: 1 - Roman: 0.

She dribbled again. You moved your feet. She did a quick drive right, then stopped. Pulled up from mid-range. Swish. Tiffany: 2 - Roman: 0.

Tiffany looked confident. She faked right, crossed over left. You tried to cut her off. She stepped back, drilled another jumper. Tiffany: 3 - Roman: 0.

"Don't let me get hot, Emperor," she said, a small smile playing on her lips. She drove. You slid your feet to stay in front. She tried a quick move, but you stayed close. She spun away and took a tough fadeaway. It missed. You grabbed the rebound. Your ball.

You brought the ball out. You dribbled slow. You tried a crossover. She stayed close. You spun right. She was there. You took a tough shot over her. Off the glass, but a bucket in the end. Tiffany: 3 - Roman: 1.

You dribbled again. You looked for a clear path. She just stood there, hands low. You took a quick step to the right. She didn't move much. You tried a jumper from the elbow. Miss. She got the rebound.

"Still the same old Roman," she muttered, bringing the ball out. She drove. You slid your feet. She stopped short. Shot went in. Tiffany: 4 - Roman: 1.

She dribbled between her legs. You moved your feet. She took a quick step-back. You got a hand up. Ball went in. Tiffany: 5 - Roman: 1.

You felt a quick burst of frustration. You gritted your teeth. She was making this harder than it looked. You stayed low, trying to anticipate her next move. She dribbled, looking for an opening, then suddenly darted right. You slid your feet to stay in front. As she moved, the ball seemed to hang just a little, behind her back, an open target if you reached in.
