First win since my last game
Just like what the titled said, I’ve just returned from my long rest and now, I’m back in playing basketball. I don’t win much whenever I play 5 on 5 but today, it was history from me. It started when I played 3 on 3. So, I get to warm myself up. They want to play 2 on 2. I agreed to play 2 on 2. We didn’t finish the 2 on 2 but instead we played 5 on 5. P5 per player was the bet. So, we played. They began to triple team my other friend name Michael. He’s so strong, it needs 3 players to stop him but after quite a while, he wears down. I shoot 2 shot inside the paint. When we reached half of the game, fouls are called either intentional or unintentional. They also tried to cheat. Lucky for us, we also have those kind of players. I began to work myself and contribute to the team. I shoot 2 from top of the key. We reached somewhat like “overtime”. I shoot 1 from the key which gives us 1 point lead. My teammates worked their way and we won 5-2.
What I learned from this experience was teamwork, self-confidence and courage. I’ve learned how to hustle the when the team needs it and furthermore, box your man and be strong. Denying him the ball can contribute greatly to the team. Because if you deny him the ball, his teammate will find another one and eventually results in a turnover. I hope I can play back in future matches and stay that way. Not forgetting that I do have the best teammate there is.
