Post #4, The perfect shot pgs. 235-330 (Hint read my first 3 posts to understand this one)
I have really liked this book, the story has built and built over the time I've read it. It has just been really exciting.
Brian has been working hard on his book project for a long time now. He finally presents it for a grade. He is nervous, but everything goes well, until the end. Julius get pointed out by another student for being arrested. That led to Julius getting in a fight with the student and getting suspended.
After a game with out Julius, comes the biggest game of the year. They are facing Jackson High Generals. This team are their biggest rival in the state and if they win, they will go to the state championship. The team is not looking good at all, Julius is hogging the ball and the team is seeming to forget how to score. But at half time Brian talks with the team and shows them why there is a 25 point deficet and how far they have come and they can't be beaten now. Brian's team comes out in the second half like they could beat the New York Nicks. Brian is the captain and he is showing the team the right way to play. All this time Brian's team have been fighting hard to catch up with the generals. Now it is 88-87 generals, Julius slaps the ball away and passes it down court gets to Brian, then Julius, looks like he will take the shot, but he passes it to an open player named shooter. He goes up, takes the shot as the buzzer rings, the gym is silent... SWOOSH!!! Is the bueatiful sound of the net contacting the ball.
The game has gotten the whole town filled with joy on the 90-88 win, every house on the block is lit up and cheering when Brian arrives home.
