The Big Game
“Mom, I called you! Are you ready to go?”
It was the end of the season and Sam was getting ready for the game before the National Championship. Sam was a little worried that his team was going to lose. If Sam’s team loses, he won’t be in the National Championship.
So he and his mom got in the car and he and his mom started driving to the XL Center. The XL Center is in Hartford, Connecticut. It is the UConn Huskies home court. UConn is playing Kentucky. Last year, Sam’s team beat Kentucky in the National Championship.
When they got there, Sam ran over to his team and started warming up. When the game started, UConn won the tip-off. Sam took the ball up the court and faked that he was going to shoot, but he passed to Jake and Jake took the three pointer and made it in. Swoosh. The score was three- zero. Kentucky ran the ball down the court and made a layup. The score was three- two, and UCONN was winning. Sam ran down the court and did a pump fake, and faked the guy out.
Then, Sam took the three pointer and made it in.Swoosh. It was five minutes into the game and we were winning. Kentucky got the ball and ran down the court and took a shot but Sam blocked it and the ball went out of bounds. Kentucky passed the ball in and took a layup and made it in. It was tied twenty eight-twenty eight.There were thirty seconds left in the first half. Sam dribbled the ball down the court and passed to Jake. Jake passed to Liam, Liam passed back to Sam and Kentucky forced Sam backward and Sam fired the shot and made it in. Burmp!!!
The score was thirty-one to twenty-eight.
When the game started Kentucky got the ball and dribbled down the court. They dribbled to the basket and took a lay up and made it in. Sam dribbled down the court and dunked the basketball but landed funny on his foot and sprained his ankle!!! The game ended and we won. Uconn was going to be in the National Championship but Sam wasn’t going to be in it!!!
The next morning, Sam woke up and drove to the game. UConn lost and Sam was mad. “I wish I could explode” he said and Sam ran all the way home, which was hard because Sam’s foot was hurting.
When Sam got home he crawled into his bed and cried. When Sam’s mom got home she came into Sam’s room and sat down on his bed and Sam said “It was all my fault that my team lost. I should have played in that game, and we could have won!!!” he screamed.
“It’s not your fault,” Sam’s mom said.
Sam went outside to play basketball and that got him thinking about winning the National Championship next season. He felt happy again.
