My world seems to have been put on mute. I quickly dribble between my legs, and make a fast move to the right. I go to the basket, going up for a lay up. I can almost hear my heart pounding right threw my chest. Finally, I make contact with the hoop, the defense way to late to stop me now. I hear that familiar swishing sound. I look up just in time as my feet make contact with the floor and see the basketball going threw the net. I hear the crowd cheer, but I just look at the Olympic banner on the wall. The 2012 Olympics in London, and I'm here to represent my country. I can't help but feel pride, as if this is the biggest accomplishment I have and will ever make in my life.
I go back in defense and look at the clock, 10 seconds. I step up and quickly slide to keep the offense from passing. I succeed. I can hear the crowd count down. 3,2...1. I've just won gold!!!
