“Kungcono u-eMjae angishaye, ngoba sengimdala,” kusho uMargzetta, omdala ngeminyaka emine kunodadewabo. “Akana-zaba.”
UCLA futhi California baqhudelane ngeseshini ehlukene yemicimbi emibili yezimemo ngasekuqaleni kwalo nyaka, kodwa ukuhlangana kabili kwangoMgqibelo eBerkeley ngo-2 ntambama kuzoba ngokokuqala ngqa ukuthi odade bakwaFrazier baqhudelane.
UMargzetta, isikhulu sehembe elibomvu kwa No. 6 Bruins, ubelokhu ephuma ezingeni elilodwa njengoba kungena uMjae, umfundi omusha onenombolo 7 Cal, kusho umama wabo uTina Frazier.

U-Margzetta uyamangala ngenhlanganisela kadadewabo yamandla, ukuguquguquka nomusa. Ngamakhono ezinga eliphezulu njengesakhiwo esikabili esitezi kanye ne-Yurchenko ejika kabili endaweni engaphansi, uMjae angenza izinto uMargzetta angakaze aziphuphe.
“Ukube bengiyingxenye yomqeqeshi wokuzivocavoca njengo-eMjae [is]angikwazi nokukutshela izinto ebengiyobe sengizifezile manje,” kusho uMargzetta.

Nakuba uMargzetta engazange afanelekele ezingeni eliphezulu kakhulu lezemidlalo lamazwe ngamazwe waze waba neminyaka engu-17 ubudala, uMjae wafinyelela ku-14. UMjae akazange aqalise imikhuba emibi udadewabo agcina eyiyekile.
“Ubelokhu ekhona engiqondisa kukho konke engidlule kukho,” kusho uMjae, naye owagqama ebholeni ngaphambi kokulimala kabi edolweni ngo-2019. Ukuba naye lapho njengesibonelo sami nokungigqugquzela ukuthi ngenze engikwenzayo ngendlela manje, kuvele kwakhuthaza kakhulu futhi kwangisekela kakhulu.”
U-Tina wabiza u-Margzetta “umama onjalo” uma kuziwa ekusekeleni umsebenzi wokuzivocavoca we-eMjae. Njengomzali oziqhenyayo, u-Margzetta wayemagange ukubuka udadewabo enza umdlalo wakhe wokuqala wasekolishi e-Las Vegas ngo-Jan. 7 ku-Super 16. Njengoba iseshini ka-Cal iqala amahora ayisithupha ngaphambi kwe-UCLA, u-Margzetta uzame ukuphuma ezibophweni zakhe zokuhlangana kwangaphambili ukuze abukele. eMjae.
U-Margzetta uyazi ukuthi uzohlala ebheke konke okwenziwa udadewabo ngoMgqibelo. Uzokwabelana ngokucwebezela kwezindebe ngenjabulo, anikeze ukuchuma okwengeziwe kokucwebezela futhi akunikeze inhlanhla, kodwa usazokhiyela “kubhamuza le-Bruin” le-UCLA.
