In the sultry weather, the sun scorches the earth mercilessly. After all, the trees and flowers couldn't beat the scorching sun, and they stood there dejectedly like defeated soldiers. In the school gymnasium, we are having a basketball match with a basketball team from another school.

Although there is a big gap in strength between us and the opponent this time, we are still determined to win and work hard to do warm-up exercises before the game. We hope that we can perform well in the game and defeat the opponent. , winning honors for the team.

However, the situation of the game was beyond our expectations. In the first half, our offense was suppressed by the opponent. Their offense and defense were like iron barrels, leaving us with nothing to do. The first half of the game ended in We ended up trailing by a big margin.

During the halftime break, the coaches kept cheering us up, encouraging us not to be afraid of each other, but to be like bamboo shoots springing up after the rain, like blooming flowers, taking advantage of the momentum and showing our true abilities. The second half of the game started. I saw our center working very hard to grab the ball. Everyone ran all over the field to find an opening. At this time, I saw that the opponent's center didn't pay attention to my movements and moved as fast as lightning. Passing the ball to our center, the center made a shot and our team scored the first point. This greatly boosted our morale. Everyone regained their previous confidence and worked hard to recover the score. Time passed like an hourglass, and with one minute left before the end of the game, we were still two points behind our opponent.

Is it just like giving up? Are you going to give up on the game just like that? Could it be that the boosted spirit was defeated and fled before it was released? No, we have to give it a try.

At this time, my heart was pounding, for fear that I would betray the trust of the whole team. At this critical moment, the sweat on my forehead clicked, like the chime of zero o'clock on New Year's Eve, flowing into my eyes. I kept saying to myself: Believe in yourself, you can do it, you will definitely be able to do it! I tried to keep my eyes wide open, jumped up lightly with both feet, made a standard shooting posture, aimed at the basket, and shot lightly. The ball drew a perfect arc in the air and was thrown into the basket without any bias. Almost at the same time, the whistle at the end of the game sounded like a triumphal drum, and our team narrowly won by one point.

The team members hugged me and cheered, the coach gave me a thumbs up, and the students cheered and cheered outside the court. I was as happy as a hero. The blood and sweat from training in the past turned into blooming plum blossoms, blooming brilliantly on the once-cold basketball court.
