Basketball

(This article is a continuation of my article Sports)

My original basketball after all its bad luck finally one a championship the year after my other team. I had broken my finger early in the season and had to miss a couple games. The games didn't matter though because they were just seeding games. We were placed in a low division as we hadn't done well in the seeding games. I came back after missing one of the regular season games. Although my playing was short lived as I broke my foot three weeks after coming back from the finger injury.

My team was not hurt by my injury and it actually helped because it allowed for our best players to play more. We didn't do well in the regular season and were the lowest seed in the playoffs. This seemed like it would lead to another disappointing season but we beat the second seed in the opening round in the playoffs. Then we beat a team that had two players who used to play for our team who we have a rivalry of sorts with. After our second win, we were in the championship game. The team we were playing had beaten us by a close margin during the regular season so we knew what to expect from them. The game was a good one. We were down early, but after some good shots we managed to take a two point lead. Our lead was never more than four points throughout the game. Going into the final minute we had a two point lead after one of our centers made two free throws. The other team took a couple shots but none fell. Although we had two different one and ones we missed both of the free throws. In the closing seconds they took a shot from the baseline but we pressured the player and he shot an air ball. So the final score of the game was 24-22 with us winning. We had finally one a championship!

  1. You should get your facts strait. We played the three seed in the first game. Then we played the two seed who had taken five players from our team. Then we played the one seed that beat us by eight points in our first real games of the season.

  2. It sounds like you enjoy the way basketball has alot of tense moments. Losing by 1 point with 10 seconds to go in the last quarter is probably something you're familiar with.

  3. Lies run rampant in this blog post. You have a complete disregard for what teams our basketball team played.

  4. Of course your team wasn't affected. They beat us. I wish you had played you would have lost the game for them. Instead you had to break your leg and lose us the season.
