Hello, for my blog this week I will be writing a random made up story, I hope you enjoy.
Once upon a time there was a kid named James. He was a 5 year old kid who really liked basketball. James was dedicated to make it to the NBA one day and be better than Lebron James and Michael Jordan combined! He had just recently got a basketball net and ball for his birthday. He set up a training plan that included 15 minutes of shooting, 10 of dribbling, 10 of layups and 10 of dunking every day.
Immediately after his birthday party his set up his net and put air in his ball. He had the net set at the highest point on his first shot so he wasn’t anywhere close to the rim. After a few quick adjustments he was ready to go. This time, it was a little lower and the perfect height. James shot the ball, it was flying through the air, hit the rim and… bounced right back into his face giving him a bloody nose. He went inside crying and would have to start practicing tomorrow.
Now that he knew how to shoot properly, the perfect height of the net, he was ready to go (For real this time). He spent day and night trying and trying to get really good. Then the day came, after 6 years of waiting and hard practice, the day had come. The 6th grade basketball tournament. He put on his lucky Spongebob socks and was looking really good in the first few games. His team was 4-0 going into the final. The Silvertown Pirates (James’ team) were going to be playing the Rustville Tigers. It was going to be a tight game and everyone was going to be watching it. In the warmup James was hitting every shot no matter where he was on the court. His dribbling was on point, he was ready to win!
In the first quarter James had 7 of the 11 points for his team and the Tigers had 12 points. Going into the 4th quarter James was by far the leading scorer for his team with 24 points. The score was tied up at 45 to 45. In the beginning of the quarter the Tigers looked like they were going to pull away with the game, it was already 47-63. James and the Pirates never gave up though and kept on getting more points and making the game closer and closer. Then it was 10 seconds left, 65-67 in favor of the Tigers. James had the ball and was dribbling through all the defense. The time was ticking like a bomb about to explode, the crowd was roaring and it was all up too James. The championship could be theirs if he made this shot. 3…2…1… the ball left his hand the buzzer rang. As it was floating through the air the world seemed to stop spinning it hit the rim, bounced around it, looked like it was going to spin in and…
James awoke from his dream! It wasn’t real the whole time! James was sad that he didn’t find out if he made the shot or not. James wanted this dream to come true so in real life, he did exactly what he saw in his dream to repeat the outcome and it worked. He did win the championship and he got drafted 1st overall in the draft. James became a basketball legend and he was the greatest there ever was!
The end. I hoped you enjoyed it and here is a link to Elijah’s blog and Ernest’s blog for some other cool stuff!https://elijahsaemsblog2020.edublogs.org/
