He could hear the squeaks and squeals as shoes met the court. He could smell the sweat in the air. He could hear his heart racing in his chest. He could see the anxiety and the panic on his teammates faces. As he took in all the sights, sounds, and smells, he felt nothing but calm. He could almost see it in slow motion. He could see how the libero was going to receive the opponets spike to the setter. He could see the setter glances at him, almost as if to ask if he is ready. He could see the other teams face as he lept into the air above the net. Lastly, he could see the ball as it rushed towards him. He reeled his hand back and slammed his palm into the core of the ball. The ball shot towards the open space between the opposite team's receiver and setter. Then he fell; but it wasn't a calm fall, knowing that he scored the winning point. It was a fall full of panic. He could see himself free-falling towards the court. He heard his teammates yell in surprise. He could see the shine of the court come closer... and then nothing.
