Under Pressure

Hangout

The next day, Y/n, Marvin Harrison Jr., C.J. Stroud, and TreVeyon Henderson decided to meet up at the Ohio State practice facility. It was a familiar setting where they had spent countless hours honing their skills and preparing for game days.

As they walked into the facility, the sound of footballs being thrown and players shouting drills echoed through the air. The atmosphere was charged with energy, a constant reminder of their shared passion for the game.

Y/n led the way, greeting familiar faces and exchanging nods with teammates who were in the midst of their training routines. Marvin, C.J., and TreVeyon followed closely, their expressions a mix of determination and excitement.

Finding a quiet corner in the facility, they settled down to catch up and discuss their recent experiences on the field. Y/n shared insights from the last game, highlighting key plays and strategies that had worked well for the team.

Marvin, always attentive to details, asked probing questions about specific routes and coverages, eager to fine-tune his skills even further.

C.J., with his natural leadership qualities, discussed the importance of staying focused and motivated throughout the season.

TreVeyon, known for his explosive plays, shared his thoughts on conditioning and maintaining peak physical performance. The conversation flowed seamlessly, each player bringing their unique perspective to the table.

Between discussions about football, they also talked about life off the field, sharing stories and jokes that brought laughter and camaraderie.

It was more than just a meeting; it was a reaffirmation of their bond as teammates and friends, united by a common goal of excellence.

Y/n, Marvin Harrison Jr., C.J. Stroud, and TreVeyon Henderson left the practice facility with a shared sense of camaraderie and excitement.

Eager to unwind and enjoy some time together off the field, they decided to catch a Cleveland Cavaliers game, where the Cavs were facing off against the Los Angeles Lakers.

The atmosphere at the arena was electric, with fans buzzing with anticipation for the game. As they found their seats, Y/n couldn't help but soak in the energy of the crowd and the adrenaline of live sports.

The game began, and they cheered loudly as the Cavaliers made impressive plays and defended their home court against the star-studded (literally, even though they sucked) Lakers lineup.

Y/n, Marvin, C.J., and TreVeyon were fully immersed in the game, analyzing strategies, appreciating skillful plays, and cheering for their favorite moments.

During breaks in the game, they chatted about basketball, shared insights about the NBA players on the court, and even discussed how certain basketball strategies could be applied to football.

As the game progressed, the tension mounted, with both teams giving their all to secure the win. The energy in the arena was palpable, and Y/n and his friends were caught up in the thrill of the game.

Y/n, amidst the excitement of the Cavs game, leaned over to Marvin Harrison Jr., C.J. Stroud, and TreVeyon Henderson, sharing a football analogy that resonated with their shared experiences on the field.

"I treat the football like a baddie," Y/n quipped with a grin, drawing curious looks from his friends.

"You know how it is," he continued, "if my dawg wants it, I'll pass it to him without hesitation. But I also know I don't want to fumble it, you also gotta know when to throw it away, make the smart play."

Marvin nodded in understanding, "Yeah, it's all about making those split-second decisions, knowing when to take the shot and when to protect the possession."

C.J. chimed in, "It's like reading the defense, right? You assess the situation, see your options, and make the best play for the team."

TreVeyon added, "And sometimes, even when it looks tempting, you gotta know when to hold back, like not forcing a pass into coverage."

Y/n nodded in agreement, "Exactly. It's all about playing smart, making calculated moves, and trusting your instincts. Just like in this game, you gotta play your role, support your teammates, and seize opportunities when they come."

In the end, the Cavaliers emerged victorious, much to the delight of the home crowd. Y/n and his companions joined in the celebration, high-fiving fellow fans and relishing the excitement of a memorable sports experience.

Leaving the arena, they reflected on the game, discussing standout plays and memorable moments.

Y/n grinned at his friends, suggesting, "How about we go bowling? It's always a good time."

Marvin chuckled, shaking his head. "Nah, man, we've been bowling like every other week. Let's switch it up this time."

C.J. nodded in agreement. "Yeah, variety is the spice of life. Let's do something different."

TreVeyon chimed in, "I'm up for whatever, but bowling does sound a bit repetitive."

Y/n shrugged good-naturedly. "Alright, fair enough. We'll save bowling for another time then. What's the plan now?"

Marvin chuckled, shaking his head. "You're addicted to bowling, man. We need to broaden your horizons."

C.J. grinned mischievously. "How about we hit up the Ohio State Basketball practice facility? We can play some 2v2 and show off our skills."

TreVeyon nodded enthusiastically, "That sounds like a blast! Plus, it's a chance to show off our skills."

Y/n turned to TreVeyon with a hopeful expression. "Hey, TreVeyon, are you cleared to play?"

TreVeyon nodded enthusiastically. "Yeah, man, I'm good to go! Ready to hit the court and show what I've got."

Y/n grinned, pleased to hear the positive news. "Awesome, let's do this then. We're going to make a great team out there."

As the game progressed, Y/n and TreVeyon found their rhythm, working together seamlessly on the court. TreVeyon's agility and strength combined with Y/n's vision and passing accuracy made them a formidable duo.

In the final moments of the game, TreVeyon muscled his way past Marvin, scoring the winning basket for their team.

Y/n laughed as C.J. teased him, "All you did was give TreVeyon the ball in the post to bully ball Marv."

Y/n chuckled and joked, "Hey, I'm just used to handling the ball off to TreVeyon on the field. Seems like it works on the court too!"

TreVeyon grinned, giving Y/n a playful shove. "Yeah, and I'm used to taking it all the way to the end zone. Works in basketball too, apparently!"

TreVeyon playfully bumped fists with Y/n. "Hey, it worked, didn't it? Teamwork makes the dream work!"

Marvin, catching his breath, grinned and nodded. "Yeah, you guys had some great chemistry out there. We'll get you next time."

C.J. joined in, "Definitely, we'll have a rematch soon."

The friendly competition and camaraderie among the group made their basketball outing a memorable and enjoyable experience.

Y/n grinned at C.J. and said, "Man, it's been great to see you back here. I can't wait to see you continue to shine with the Texans. You're making us proud."

C.J. smiled back, appreciating the support. "Thanks, Y/n. It's always good to come back and catch up with everyone. We've got a good thing going on at Houston, and I'm excited for what's ahead."

Y/n suggested, "Hey, how about we take a group photo to capture this moment?"

Everyone agreed enthusiastically, gathering together for a memorable photo. Y/n, C.J., Marvin, and TreVeyon stood side by side, smiling widely as the photo was taken, cementing their bond both on and off the field.

Y/n later tweeted the photo of their hangout with Marvin Harrison Jr., C.J. Stroud, and TreVeyon Henderson, capturing the fun they had together. With the caption "@CJ7STROUD peaked in college".
