SWISH!

WALHT- We are learning how to add more detail to my writing.

On Saturday my Dad dropped  off to our basketball practise. He decided to watch my game.

When we arrived inside the Auckland Boys indoor court, I started to practise because that was our second basketball game. I started to get pumped up during my practise. Then our coaches called us in. When we got to him all my teammates were there we all sat on the bench.

After that our coach told us some things to remember during that game. Then he chose the first 5. I was one of them. (As always) I was doing the jump ball. The jump ball is when the ref has to throw the ball in the centre of the court, and 1 player from each team has to smack the ball back to their mates. Then I got ready I jumped as high as I could and smacked the ball to our side, so one of the players in my team could dribble that ball to the other side of the court.

My friends Jeremy caught the ball and straight away dribbled to the other side and passed it to me. I was so free the I caught the ball and took the first jump shot, luckily it went in the hoop and swish! I was so happy the i got the first shot in. After the first quarter was done I checked the points, the other team was leading by 4. I felt so tempted to win so I was the next five in the game. Minutes later the second quarter was finished we were in a tie. That is when I felt a relief.

Then on the third quarter is when the serious game started. There were passes and shots. In and out. Inbound and outbound. Crossovers and blocks. The game was so busy. Then minutes later the third quarter was finished. The it was time for the last chance to win. I was in the whole game. The last quarter was the best, even though we lost. At the end of the game, we teams shook our hands and I said “GG”. (good game).
