                                                                      Game Day


"Get the rebound!" shouted our coach. The players on my team were amazing, but just every game I played, I had a big nightmare. I was the worst player on my team. I couldn't make a shot. I couldn't dribble the ball. I couldn't do anything in the game of basketball. The only thing I liked to do is to read superhero comics.  Every game my teammates made fun of me that I couldn't make a shot. You might wondering why they are making fun of me. The reason is because everyone makes at least two shots every game. And also every time I pass the ball, it is so horrible, the other team steals it. This game the score was: 39-53. And guess what? We lost to the easiest team in the league just because of me. Oh, I forgot to tell you my name. Matthew. I came home with my friend, Andy. You might want to know why. He's my neighbor.

                                                               Day Before Vacation


We lost all of our games because I made every turnover. I mean, when I dribble the ball, it always bounces off my shoe. I also air ball both off my free throws. One game we were losing by one point and the best player on our team ( His name is James,) made an amazing lead pass to me and I had an open shot, but I air balled that one too! The score was 33-32. The worst game we played was against the Streaks. The final score was 64-8. At halftime we didn't make a point. The score was 42-0. Oh, I forgot to tell you the name of my team. It's the Skulls. When I went home, I saw my mom dragging suitcases down the stairs. I asked her, "What are you doing?" She just shrugged. It was nighttime. I asked mom again what she was doing. She told me come in the car. I put on my jacket, coat, shoes, and all of the stuff I like. I also took my basketball.

                                                                     Trip Day



We were at the airplane at 2:00. We were at Golden State at 8: 00. We also got some Warriors tickets.
I also had no clue who were the Warriors were. Maybe I just had to find out. First we went to our hotel.I went to the refrigerator to get a piece of bread. Then we went to the city and just looked at some stuff.I didn't like anything. I'm kind of like quiet kid. I'm not really excited for a lot of cool stuff. My parents call me the Owl. I don't know why. It's maybe because owls are quiet. Anyway, I forgot to tell you that I have a brother. He is 3 years younger than me. I am 12 years old. He is 9. My birthday is going to be in 1 day."Hey, Matthew," Mom said. "We pretty much came here for the game." "What game?" I asked. "Your basketball game," she said. Oh, man! I totally forgot about it. We were versing the best team in the league.

                                                                     Game Day



RIIING!! My alarm clock rang. The time was 9:00. The game started at 11:00. I brushed my teeth and went to the family room. I did not see anyone in the room . I looked out the window. A car rolled up the driveway. A lady walked out of it. It was my mom! She brought a cover. When she into the house, I ran to her and took the cover. I looked inside of it. It had a basketball. I groaned. "Happy Birthday!" shouted my mom. I didn't let my mom know that I did not like the gift. "You could get rid of that ball. And then you could use that ball to play with." Then, my brother ran in the talk and just shouted,"I could use that horrible ball!" I told him,"Use the new one." I don't know why I told him to use the new one. I just like the old stuff. I don't like to be rich. "Matthew! I gave you the new one for your birthday. You should use that one." Oh, man, I thought in my head.

                                                                   At the court



My mom and dad drove me to the game. If you wondered why I said "Oh no," it is because the game is today! The best team's name are the Rushers. Their best player's name is Mike. One time, he swished a half court shot. I was a buzzer beater. They beat the Leprechauns. The score was 45-44. The crowd ran from the bleachers and jumped on him. Speaking of games, we were starting to warm up. I checked out Mike's shooting. He was very good. he was swishing deep threes. James gave me the ball. I took a jumper. I air-balled it. Mike on the other side of the court, was laughing at me. Briing! The game had started. One dude on the Rushers was jumping against James. James won it. I got the ball. I dribbled it. I took a shot. I noticed that no people were defensing me. So I just took a layup. I shot the ball. But I air- balled it again!

Mike got the ball. He crossed me up, and took a step-back deep three. SWISH!!! He swished it! The score for halftime was 45-10. At the end of the 3rd quarter, the score was 62-14. There was 19 seconds left the clock, 4th quarter. Mike had the ball. he ran down the clock. 5, 4, 3. Mike took a step back jumper. SWISH! Briing!! End of game. The score was 16-78.

                                                    Warriors Basketball Game




We were at the Warriors game. Time to find out what they are. "And introducing the Golden State Warriors, we have Stephen Curry! Klay Thompson! Draymond Green!" O-kay. I have no clue who those guys are, but they do look really tough. "Shaun Livingston! Now give a round of applause to their coach, Steve Kerr! Then we have our visitor team, the Chicago Bulls!" "BOO!"said the crowd.
The teams ( who I have no clue who,) were starting to play. The visitor team had the ball. One person passed the ball to another person, which he passed it to another person who made the shot. The the home team had the ball. A person had the ball, and he swished a three! After 12 minutes, it was the end of the first quarter. The score was 30-21. The Warriors lead.

The score for the third quarter was 89-74. The home team was leading. We just left because I was bored. I just saw the final score in the middle of the car drive. The score was 124-91. The home team won.
