(Note: I’m adding notes so people who do not understand the language of sports can understand.)I was outside today, and I decided that my neighbors and I should host an annual summer basketball league. Luca, Drew, and Khang agreed, so here are the rules:
About 15-30 game regular season. (TL will not understand how sports work. Things like playoff trees will confuse her.) After the regular season is over, we MIGHT hold a free throw contest, All-Star game, three point contest etc. I haven’t discussed this part yet.(Note: Only 4 people in the league.) After that, the person with the worst record (# of wins and losses) is eliminated. The person with the best record will take a rest. The people in 2nd and 3rd will go against each other in a 5 game series. (First to 3 wins the series.) The winner will face the 1st place player in a 7 game series. (First to 4 wins.) Winner of that will be the champion, earning bragging rights until the next season.
Since summer vacation was not upon us, we decided to have a pre-season game instead. (Small season before regular season. Does not count for anything except practice.) So I had a game against Luca. We were playing to fifteen. I score on Luca. Luca misses. I miss. Luca misses. He grabs his own rebound (when you get the ball after a shot) and misses again. I miss. Luca turnovers the ball. (Turnover= an error causing the other team to get the ball.) I swish a three. And then Luca forfeits. The final score is 5-0. So I guess in the regular season, I won’t be getting much competition from Luca. The only person I’m worried about is Khang. It’s not that he is an all-star, but he constantly reaches for the ball. I know being aggressive in sports, but he takes it way too far. He knocked me into the grass when I had the ball, and shoved Drew’s elbows into the cement. Khang thinks he is very good, but he constantly misses layups, even though he’s like a whole foot taller than the rest of us.
