Hello my name is Theo.

I really like basketball. I started liking basketball when I was 5 years old and played in school on the team. I continued playing basketball every day after school with my friends. As I got better at shooting and dribbling. I felt really happy and people were treating me better but I didn’t feel like a winner.

But let’s start this thing.

I am 9 years old now.

I screamed “Yes let’s go!” At that time I thought I was training extremely hard but when I jumped my legs wouldn’t work.

One day, I was training normally but then my Basketball teacher asked me, “Theo do you want to play a basketball match?

When it was the day, I was a bit nervous as I walked on the pitch but everybody clapped. Before the match, we always practised our shooting. So, I trained my shots and we started the game.

When the referee threw the ball up, the game started and it was a fast one. One guy snatched the ball from the air and passed it to me. So I ran as fast as I could and I jumped as high as possible. I did a Lay Up and scored a point for my team!

Everybody on my team was happy and everyone that was watching the game punched their hands in the air and shouted out together, “Come On!”

Afterwards, we celebrated.

The other team started from the back line and one player passed to a member of his team. My team defended against the other team. They tackled them roughly. Luca nearly got the ball off the rival team but they were really good. The other teammate ran and passed to their team’s best player.

Jackob from his team took a shot and didn’t score, he nearly swore! The mid player tackled to take control of the ball and scored from the middle of the pitch. After that, Luca passed the ball to me from the back line and I passed to Caderan from my team.

He ran across the court and did a Lay Up. The ball rolled around the edge of the hoop and went in! My team were extremely happy because he scored a point! .

After we scored, the other team was furious because they were losing badly. My team mates were so grumpy that they were punching the wall. They had never been so annoyed in their lives. The captain threw the ball at the opposition stand and hit one of their fans holding her tiny baby. The baby screamed.

The crowd erupted and everyone invaded the court. In the middle of the chaos, another player threw the ball towards the cheerleaders and was banned for the next two matches. The ball hit one of the cheerleaders hard in the face but at least it didn’t do any permanent damage. She couldn’t stop crying though.

So, the other team started from the back line they passed to their team. The guy with the ball ran half off the pitch and did a Lay Up. To our happiness, they didn’t score but unfortunately his team got the ball and scored on the rebound.

We restarted from the back line. Lucka passed to me and I dribbled past everyone.

I felt so excited as I ran towards the hoop.  I approached the crowd and did a brilliant Lay Up to the hoop. Their team was shocked with what I did to score.

There started from the back line, passing to a player from their team,  That player was the shooter because every time he shot he scored but that time wasn’t like that.

He shouted but he didn’t score, he was unlucky that day. Their team were full of anger in their hearts and they weren’t too happy with the shooter.

They were getting crushed by me and my team but they weren’t really sad because all of the applause lifted their spirits. The referee blew the whistle and we won the match.

I have never felt so good and everyone knew I was a WINNER!
