My Vivid Summer Memory


Toward the end of the summer, I went to play a 3 on 3 basketball tournment in ChiLong with Vincent and Yusuke. It is the first time I play in a tournment outside of school, so I was very nervous. There were 64 teams in our division and were divided into groups of four. The opponents in our group were as good as we thought, and we defeated them easily. Whoever got 13 points first wins the game, or else, whoever has the higher score wins the match.

We were the only winner of our group, so we advanced to the quarter finals. We swepted the opponent with a score of 13-5, and we expected to win the semi-final. However, things did not go the way we expected: we were playing against a really good team, the players in that team are all from the varsity team of a local school. We were swept 13-5 or 13-6, and weren't able to make to the top four finals. Nevertheless, we were one of the top eight, and it was satisfying enough, for someone who played in tournments like this for the first time.
