TOTEM STORY CHAPTER 6. The Free Throw that changed my life Pt. 3


I swear I posted this already. But apparently I haven't, so finally, this is going to be posted.

So Game 1 of the Finals was on the road, since the other team was from the South of Ireland and the games on at 9:45. We had to be there half an hour before for warm-ups. Which meant we had to be on our bus at half 7 in the morning. Despite us being absolutely knackered, we managed to pull off a massive upset, defeating the 1st seed in Game 1 by 5 points. I had a decent game 7 points, 8 assists, good game for me all things considered. I'm like Haliburton this off-season, only perform in clutch moments.


Game 2 was luckily back in our home, but for some reason, the game was on at 11. Meaning the other school needed to get up later than us. Absolute scandal, the calls in all the games were some of the worse I've ever seen in my life. But we cant say anything unless we'll get banned and lose because WE ARE BEING SORE LOSERS!

But still, by clutch performances by my teamates and me, from coming back from 15 points down in the final quarter, Meaning we won by 3 points. Our run was very like the Pacers this season. We actually took a 2 lead win, I've been in this situation before, 2-0 up, and lost it.

I wasn't celebrating it just yet. As we still had a long way to go

Game 3 was back on the road, but the day before. The game was rescheduled to 9:15!?!? So we had to be on the bus by 7AM. The whole league is corrupt, everything is corrupt. But we had to turn up. We were so tired and obviously lost by about 127. It was terrible, and our coach didn't keep it a secret, he actually posted something on our schools social media about the corruption of the league, which obviously is correct. Luckily he took it down after posting it, because we didn't want to get banned, or worse.


Game 4 was back home in our arena and the arena was the most packed I've ever seen, so packed that people started flooding the gym upstairs to look out the windows. This was the biggest game of my life, biggest game for the school. The game was close and defense was on top. My offense was some of the worst ever. With 3 minutes left in the game. I had 2 points and 5 assists. But the score was very tight. 1 point in it, defense still on top. It was wire to wire until the end. The opposing team scored with 12 seconds left to equalise. We had no time-outs and the ball. The ball gets passed around and finds me with 1 second left. I had to shoot it, goes up.

BUZZER SOUNDS

SWISH

My 2nd ever buzzer beater and my 1st ring! Before doing anything, I had to hit the Night Night On the other team for corrupting the league. Everyone ran onto the court, including my coaches. Everyone was on top of me. It was painful but good feeling. I was surprised the hoops didn't get pulled down. But we won. There was no FMVP sadly, I wouldn't have won it. We got the Championship, and I was asked to lift it. Of course I did.

If my jersey gets retired because of that 1 shot, I would not be surprised.

My coach after the game posted on our social media, tagging the league saying " Despite the corruption, we won " We might get banned next season. But I don't care, I'm a champion
