Down four with under a minute to go I kept saying in my head. Its something about those big games that just get my adrenaline running through my body. My  mindset is to get the ball and win this game. Its a rival game in front of the whole school I can't drop the ball. I hear the whistle blow as i get ready to get the ball my hands are shaking and are tingling as I wipe the sweat that was dripping of my palms. I starting dribbling the ball and I look at my teammate Deji who was getting ready to set me pick I come around I look to only see my guy who was guarding me stumble and nobody was in front of me I see the basket clear as day I take my shot and watch it fall through the net in slow motion. The other teammate try to race it up the floor for a quick bucket but missed it as I get the rebound I look at the clock with fifteen seconds left. I counted down in my head and I shot the ball with six seconds left for it to just hit off the front of the rim. Deji jumped sky high to tip it back to me as I grab it again with one second left. I shot the floater with two people in front of me to see it fall threw the net. It was a big weight lifted from my shoulders to see that we won the crowd goes wild and my teammates jumping around full of joy.
