Today(Jan.15th), our basketball team had an fantastic game with Mont Kiara International School. This was my first game ever since I started play in the team.
As the referee blew the whistle, the big orange basketball flew high in to the air. I jumped with my sour legs and smashed the ball to my team mates and here we go, the game has started. I looked around the basketball court and there they were, the great pass from my team. I dribbled passing around the people, running towards the basket and set up for the lay-up. The basketball went in to the basket with a thud. There, we are winning now! I thought about the winning with excitement as I looked at the electric score board that says 2:0.
2:2, 4:2, 6:2, 6:4... we fought fabulously with tall people and the score was showing 10:4 until the last 8 minutes. I took a shot that didn't go in to the basket like I expected, suddenly the HUGE pain came to my thigh and to my bones. I wouldn't stand still but I tried to chase the basketball as hard as I could. I can run. I said that to myself to cheer up my body and my legs. But with a sudden, the basketball was in front of me and passed... I couldn't run or anything but just standing there and waiting for the ball to pass me. Our couch (Ms.Jennings) came up to me and asked me if I was OK. I said OK but actually I wasn't OK, my legs were burning that I could barely walk.
Somehow I was sitting on the bench and the another girl was playing my place. Ms. Jennings told me to stretch my thigh, which I did. I stretched my sour thigh and looked at the score board, it was 16:14 and we only had 5 more minutes to do. I didn't care about the score but i just wanted to play again. I looked at my sour thigh and I knew I couldn't. 1 more minute! I thought, I thought that we can win if we keep this score and not let them to score.
The referee blew the whistle as the basketball was on the ground. I looked at the score board and there they are 16:18 . I couldn't believe, only one basket. We lost the whole game only by A basket. I was mad at myself by the time the game ended. Only if my defences were better... and didn't let that girl to score once... Only once, we might have win this game... Only if my legs were normal...
My sour thigh and the basketball game was the worst game but at the same time it is the BEST memory... I think... (==
