Have you ever wanted to tryout for a travel team you really wanted to be on?Well,I have!

At this time, I was watching the game with my dad and my brother.This was the championship!!

This was it,the Warriors won the NBA Championship 2014-2015!! I was happy because at this time,my favorite team,the Warriors,had one the championship!! My dad then states,”Do you think you would want to play basketball like they do in the pros,” “Maybe,I think I could probably do it,” I sighed. “Alright,I think you can to,”states dad. “Yea,but I think I would just need to go outside and shoot on our goal more.” “After all I haven 't actually played on a basketball team before,”I said. “I think so too,I think it’s time for you to go to sleep,it’s getting late,” whispered my dad. “Okay,I guess I will go to sleep,after all it is getting late,” I state.After this I decided maybe I should go to sleep,after all I am pretty tired!! So I then went to sleep and the night went on like normal.School was also the same,nothing special happened at school either until I got off the bus.Which that Monday I heard that one of favorite travel basketball teams,Lady Jags,which they were located and they practiced in Louisiana,would be holding tryouts in 5 weeks!! I was ready to tryout,but I wasn’t 100% I was going to make the team. My dad then asks me,”Are you going to try out for the team.” “Yes,probably,I just could use more experience,”I state. “Yea,but I can
aturday 1777, I had a soccer game. The games started at 12;30, as I arrived at the game, I kept getting nervous and nervous. The frogs were a really good team and this was a huge game to us. This game determined if we made it to the championship or not. I knew all of my teammates were going to give it their all and so was I. If we won, we were going to go to the web and later on that night, stay the night at amy's house. Everyone was counting on the best player, jessa. Jessa was nice and super smart. I really looked up to her. Our team had 14 girls on the team. Our team was one of the best teams, in the district. The game had started, the frogs got the ball first, we took the ball supper quick.We were up 17 points, when the other other team,
School was the same as yesterday, full of zoning out. When I got home from school I ran into my room and threw myself onto my bed. I laid there for a good ten minutes or so. I was scared to death, but at the same time I was so excited. I knew I would make it, but I was still terrified though. The fact that I was in the first group to go made me a lot more nervous. In a way it’s a good thing so I wouldn’t have to think about it and get more nervous than I already was. Once I had got ready I laid right back on my bed. I’m not sure why I was so tired, but I clearly was. If my mom wouldn’t have called me I would’ve been dead
October of 2015 arrives, Monte Vista Elementary school informed us that there are basketball tryouts and basketball season will come soon. I have been practicing non-stop after last year’s tournament. I had one goal that year, and it was to get to the championships. I tryout and impress the other players around me. A paper of the names who made
“We played basketball or baseball for hours and hours. We believed that if we got good enough,
I attended all training sessions and spent a great amount of time playing basketball since the thrill of winning games, of becoming better pushes me forward. I believed my efforts are worthy, since I had the advantage over other players in speed and keen awareness, and I trained harder than others every day. Basketball was the only thing on my mind. Then the time came to assemble the official school team to participate in formal basketball games. I thought for all my efforts
I was 12 year old when I started playing basketball. My dream was to be similar to Michael Jordan. However, my GBL team has lost every game since I’ve started playing basketball. I was also playing with my older brother Jeremiah for the first time, but we were always fighting about whose better. I knew this season would bring us together. With a lot of hard work we finally won. It took me and my brother to work together to win.
The last time the Cavs and Bulls met each-other in the postseason was in 2010 when Cleveland won (4-1) in the First Round. The Cavaliers also won the 2014-15 regular season series against Chicago (3-1). The Wine and Gold are undefeated against Chicago in playoff games at Quicken Loans Arena (3-0). Including the regular season and the 2015 First Round series against, the cavs have won 22 their last 23 games at The Q.
The Golden State Warriors are the best team in the league. They are 67-15 as in 67 wins and 15 loses. They have many great young stars on their team like Stephen Curry, Clay Thompson, Draymond Green, and Kevin Durant. Stephen Curry is at point guard which is one of the ball handling positions besides shooting guard. Point guards job is to call the plays and bring the ball up or down court. They are supposed to have the most assist in a game too. The shooting guard and small forward are supposed to be able to shoot and make baskets. The power forward and center are supposed to get glass and get rebounds on offense and defense. Usually the center is the tallest and biggest one out there and the point guard is the shortest and smallest one on
The Golden State warriors are a team in the NBA western conference. They were known as the Philadelphia Warriors in 1946-1962, then in 1962-1971 they were the San Francisco Warriors, now they are the Golden State Warriors. Their home staduim is Oracle Arena. The team manager is Bob Myers, the head coach is Steve Kerr, and the owner is Joe Lacob, and Peter Guber.
The Warriors, who broke the long standing NBA record of the mighty 1995-96 Michael Jordan-led Chicago Bulls of 72 victories in single regular season, suffered their first back-to-back defeats this season. The reigning NBA kings were outscored and outplayed by the third seeded Oklahoma City Thunder, who was considered as the underdogs in the Western Conference Finals series, with another blowout victory.
The Warriors scored a close 106-100 win over the Phoenix Sun at the Talking Stick Resort Arena to improve the team’s record to two wins in three games played this week. However, the last season’s Coach of the Year winner admitted that his players were frustrated with how slowly everything is coming along during the game.
They all waited for an answer and I was reluctant to give them one. They wouldn’t like my response. “I don’t think I’m good enough.” I answered honestly. “You shouldn’t think like that.” It was Noah, this time. I was surprised by his input. So were my parents because they encouraged him to go on. Noah was never one to give me advice or motivating words. So I understood how awkward he felt to continue, but knew that if he wanted to get off the dinner table he would have to go on. “I mean, I’ve seen you play before and you’re really actually pretty great.” He continued, his voice shaking. I looked down to play with the leftovers on my plate. I wasn’t used to hearing him talk about me with so much emotion in his voice. We barely say anything nice to each other. So hearing what he had to say made the awkward tension like a thick glass in the air just waiting to fall. The more he talked, the heavier that glass got. “I think you should try out for the team. They’ll be lucky to have someone as passionate about the sport as you are.” He finished, trying to smile and make it less
It takes hard work, determination, persistence, respect, intelligence, creativity, and so much more to get to where Chris Wright, President of the Minnesota Timberwolves and Minnesota Lynx, is today. Born in a modest fishing village in England, Chris grew up a soccer fan and tremendous soccer player. Chris Wright’s story is one that proves that the future can never be predicted and that no matter the situation, anything is always possible. The experience that Chris Wright has is unmatched and his expertise in his field proves that. Many things amazed me about Chris, including his ability to network his way from coaching professional soccer in England to becoming president of an NBA basketball team, the different approaches he brings to both
"Yeah, right!" said Coach half laughing. "Let's just continue to shoot around until the clock is running, OK girls." So I grabbed a ball out of the steel cage in the corner of the gym and started to fling it towards the hoop. "Jaclyn, would you come here for a minute?" asked Coach Moore in a serious tone.
One rainy night in November, I arrived to the church gym for my first basketball practice of the season. As I walked in the doors creaked and you could smell the gym floor. As I already heard the basketballs hitting the ground, bouncing up and down. My friends Brittany and Destiny walked in right behind me through the door. That was when we realized we were the only girls surrounded by all guys. As practice came to a start we began to run, it felt like we were never going to stop. Up and down the court as we ran suicides, you could hear the squeaking of shoes as we went from the next line back and then on to the next. Before we started scrimmaging, the two captains were boys. Brittany, Destiny, and I stood in amazement as we were the last three standing there. You could see by their expressions they didn’t want any of us on either team.
