The Lay-Up

May 7, 2009
Thump thump thump... The opponent charges in... Raises the ball for a shot......Rejection!! No. 7's tapped the ball away with an awesome defensive move and grabs it..... The ball's moving down the court.....He's just a blur.....He goes through the defense, breaking their barriers..... Crossover....Marks his target..... Fakes, fooling the defender....... Leaps..... Raises his hand up with the ball.... He soars.... He shoots..... The ball bounces off the board, moving ever so slowly..... The crowd waits with fingers crossed in anticipation...... The ball rolls around the rim.... And he SCORES!!!!..... The crowd cheers... He thumps his fist in the air, savouring the moment........
