Chapter 1
Today is the day i have been wanting for. Its my basketball grand final. My team the Hawks are versing the Gorillas. The Gorillas have been undefeated for 2 seasons and going for a 3 peat. But im going to help stop them. It is now half an hour til the start of the game. I cant wait that long im to nervous. Oh i forgot to tell you this is not just a club grand final it is the national grand final. The team that wins, go's to america and plays against there national winner. So now you know why i have to win this.
Chapter 2
Beeeeeeepp!!!!! Goes the siren to start the game. But i'm devastated. My coach stupidly decided to start be on the bench. But she paided for the decision. Within the first 5 mins of the first half the Gorillas where off to a great start, leading us 11-0 . Finally at 7 mins the coach subbed me on for Monica. Who in my eyes was the worst player. So, with in 1 min of me stepping foot on the court i got the Hawks fans screeming. By 15 mins into the first half i had helped the team get back in the game. After 20 mins from the first siren the scores were level, 27 all.
Chapter 3
Half time was over and we got back on the court, with the same team on the court. I personly think this is the best team layout, but i could see Monica wasn't liking it very much. Ellie passed the ball in to start the second half. The pass went a little wonky, but i lept and grabbed the ball just before it fell into the wrong hands. So from half way i start dribbling. A Gorilla is racing towards me, i crossover once, i crossover twice and then a third time, to make it past three Gorillas and into the key and am going for a layup. Imagine this, the Gorillas centre is 6 foot 6 and im only 5 foot. How can i make this shot. I dribble up close to her and fake a shot, then i jumped backwards and shoot. The crowd goes wild, i made the first shot if the second half, to lead 29-27. But it doesn't last long, with the gorillas making another 3 shots. But the game must go on.
Chapter 4
Bella (the coach) called a time out halfway through the second half and we are down 36-34. " So there 10 mins left of the game," Bella said,"How mad do you guys want this, go harder, faster and higher than you've ever gone before." " 3 2 1 HAWKS" we all yelled as we walked back on the court with ten mins left. We were off to a great start with Ellie, Mikala and myself making some great 3 pointers. Unfutunatly 3 gorillas did the same. The gorillas coach called a time out with 1 min to go and the score is 45-43 to them. "We need to shoot a 3" i say to the team.
Chapter 5
So we stepped foot onto the court again, with 35 secs left in the clock. To win the game we needed to make a 3. But we did look like we would. Because with 20 secs left a Gorilla went for a 3. That was it. I thought we'd lost the game, but she MISSED. We could still win this, but we had to move quick cause there is only 13 secs left. I passed in the ball to Ellie. She took off down the court. Unfutunatly, she ran into a bit of truble at halfway. Luckly, i was there to save the day, or at least the game. Ellie passed the ball off to me and as i dribbled a peeked a look at the clock. 5 secs i have time to take a shot. As i aproched the 3 point line with 3 secs left, i calmed myself down. Then i went for a 3. As the ball was in the air i felt like time slowed down. I jumped and raised my gist in the air as i watch the ball fall in to the hoop, with the final siren going iff in the background! I did it! I actually made the shot. I won the game, i thought as my team mates came in for a group hug. I shook the hands of my talented oponents hands. My team mates, coach and our parents were all over the moon. We're off to America!
THE END
