Descriptive Speech About Basketball

I take the ball out and instantly we get a turnover. I couldn't believe it, the turnover felt like it was my fault. All of my teammates were confused which lead to more turnovers. Now the other team is coming back for the win. I remember the last two minutes of the game, it was like a clock ticking. Everyone on both teams just wanted to run the clock out. Finally I got a steal and went down the court for a layup, that put us up by two points. The other team comes down the court and waist time then, they take a three while were yelling out shot! The shot goes in. That makes them go up by one, our coach called a timeout. There are only 5 seconds left in the game and I have to take the ball out again. I didn't want to make another mistake so, I launched the ball down court to Chris Robinson. He didn't have the shot so he passed it to Cecil. Cecil also didn't have a shot so he passed it to Martell. As soon as Martelle got the ball there is one more second left and he shoots the ball. The ref calls a foul, and the ball goes in putting us back up by two points. We already knew that we were going to win all Martelle had to do was make this last free throw. He made the free throw and he is the reason that we won that game. Closest game I ever played

The game of basketball was invented by a gym teacher Dr. James Naismith in December 1891 in Springfield, Massachusetts.

I took a deep breath. It was the big championship game and we had 10 minutes left on the clock and the score was 10-7 we were down by 3. We had 3 runners on the base and 2 outs I was on deck and Brooke was up to bat. I pulled her over to the side and said “you got this were only down by three and I got your back. We have no outs so take your time and hit the ball.” Brooke said “ok thanks and we got this”. The pitcher threw the ball and Brooke hit the ball. It went straight down the 3rd base line. She got a single and now the score was 10-8, I was up. The pitcher through one right down the middle I hit a line drive right to center field and got a double, MG was running home as fast as lightning and slid into home barely making it. The game was

FIBA or FIBA World, from its French name Fédération Internationale de Basket-ball, is an association of national organizations which governs international competition in basketball. Originally known as the Fédération Internationale de Basket-ball Amateur (hence FIBA), in 1989 it dropped the word Amateur from its official name but retained the initialism; the "BA" now represents the first two letters of basketball.

This game was not like any-other game. We just we were going to win, there was no doubt about it. Me and the my team and I went to the locker room getting dressed and getting amped for the game. We hear them playing our song when we come out, an run out on the court so we start vibing to it. When we ran in the court every one in the crowd is cheering and yelling for us we started our warm ups.

This Friday night consisted of everything which would be perfect for a basketball game. The weather was cold, and the hot gym provided warmth. People from all over Louisiana came to watch the biggest rivalry between Jefferson Parish playgrounds, Johnny Bright Playground versus Girard Playground. I played on Johnny Bright’s team as a starting power forward and center. We initially played well up until the fourth quarter, lost our momentum in the 4th quarter, and made crucial mistakes at the end of the game that resulted in one of the most disappointing games of my life.

I find the story you have written to be very informative. The way you have addressed the problem about why basketball takes too much time is very informative and has helped me understand a little bit more about a sport I do not know a lot about. I also enjoy how you went into detail about the sport in order to show people the many perks of joining an organized sport. This detail about the perks of basketball along with the negative aspects really show what it is like to play the sport along with the downsides that come with it like less studying time, loss of education, and things like injuries. I was also moved about how even though you had to go through hardships you still found joy in playing the sport you love. Your writing is superb and

When the third started we were ready to play we got the ball first and we scored the first second and third point of this quarter and we were winning by 1 we finally in the lead and we kept it the whole third quarter and at the end of the third we were winning by 6 points the most we were winning by the whole game. But going into the 4th the other team looked ready too the game was going to go down to the final minutes at about 3 minute to the game it was back to 1 point and they had the ball they were bringing the ball up slow to waste time trying to let them have to get the last shot but they got a open shooter and he made the three with 2 minutes left in the game we were looking for a good shot and we got one we had someone on our team for an open layup and he made it so they had the ball with about 45 seconds left and hey called a timeout, Our coach said,’ you guys need to play good defense.’ when we got back on the court they were set up for a play and it worked they set two screens for someone to get a layup the game was now them with a two point lead. Our team came down the court with 6 seconds left and he pulled up for the three and made it the crowd was

Score! “Lee County takes another point in the volleyball tournament” says the announcer. The team starts to fall apart as we lose our game towards Lee County High School home of the Lady Trojans. The score is 24-14 as we fall behind. While i’m sitting on the bench waiting to sub in with my other teammate I began to feel nervous. What if I mess up the game for everyone. “7 for 40 you may go.” says the Ref. I start to play with my hands which is a sign of me getting nervous about something. All the players in Lee County are very serious and aggressive, which is a good thing just not to the extent they are. The whistle begins to blow for the girl on the other team to serve the ball. Right when she hits the ball I noticed the ball was heading straight towards me “Mine mine mine!” I said. My arms extended out into the playing position and I passed the ball to Nicky which is our setter. The setter on the team has a hard position because they constantly hear us call for the setter to set us a ball to hit and they have to be able to get to the ball to receive a second hit. Unfortunately Lee County got the winning point to this game but the next time we play them we will have the winning point.

It was the end of a normal school day. Our first home game was that day and I was pumped! I went home after school to get my jerseys and my squeaky clean, high top basketball shoes, then headed to the school shortly after. We were versing Ridgedale that day which I was almost 110% sure that we would win because the varsity last year creamed them. So we all get ready to go out and warm up, like usual. The game then started and we played really good I made 7 offencive and 5 defensive rebounds, and 2 points. After half time that game I was told to go dress for the varsity game. I felt really good about myself and I was ready to play more. So we were warming up like usual and then when the game started I was sitting on the bench until after half time. In the third

After seeing the team have its first two practices I'm concerned if each of you truly understand the work effort, dedication, and commitment it takes to play at this level. As high school players now, every time you step on the court the mindset has to be I'm playing for the opportunity to be a collegiate student athlete. If that is not your goal then you have not place in AAU basketball, if it is your goal then your work effort must change. The lazy, slow, disinterested apporach is putting some of you in danger of no longer being on this team. If as a group you don't come back to practice Monday with a fire and passion to work hard and compete, then we will need to have a conversation with your parents about whether or not

Walking out of the locker room onto the court I was terrified, my knees trembling with every step. I look down, seeing my reflection in the sheen of the polished floor, I realized that me and my team were going to win. It was a long and difficult game, I was doubting we would pull through. Then all of a sudden like time flew by it was the last quarter, the game was tied twenty-three to twenty-three. We had to score a point with one

“You ready to get whooped on, lil dude?” These words forever spew from the mouth of my biggest rival, my dad. Whether it’s in 2k or a spelling bee, the man is a massive competitor ‘til the end. He’d challenge a cheetah to a foot race and a shark to a swimming race in the same day, with every bit of confidence in himself. I’m the cheetah and the shark when it comes to basketball, as he taught me to be. Like my dad, I target my opponent's every weakness, making every possible attempt to defeat them mentally, use any and everything to my advantage, and I show no mercy, in order to dissuade them from ever thinking to oppose me again. I planned to use these strategies on the day I needed them most, The Annual Dixon Family Basketball Tournament, held at the Owen’s Rec Center every year. At my first tournament, I realized where my dad got that killer mentality from. Years later, when I was ready to participate for the first time, I knew it was going down, and there was definitely going to be tears by the end of the night.

Central Idea: The game of basketball has greatly changed since it was invented, but one thing remains constant: You need to know how to shoot a basketball.
