Description

Basketball is a game that could be played inside or
outside. Professional players play on an indoor court while
when you play for fun you normally have to play outside.
Basketball can be played by anyone. There are 2 baskets
on the opposite side of the court. There is also lines
around the court to show the b​ oundaries​ of the court and
a line that splits the court in half and the line is called half
court line. There can only be 10 players on the court, 5 for
each team. You play defense and offense no matter what.
Your uniform consist of a really baggy shirt and shorts,
you must tuck your shirt in to prevent injuries and a
barrier​ for the defensive player.



Sequence

How do you start a basketball game? Well you start with
jump ball. How do you do jump ball? Well that easy, first
you start in a squat potion but instead of you legs to the
side of you one foot is forward and one foot is back. Next,
you put your dominant hand up like you are going to arm
wrestle the other player. Then, the r​ eferee​ will blow the
whistle and throw the ball up in the air. Last, you jump and
try to hit the ball to your teammate.



Compare and contrast

Basketball and football are both popular sports in the
United States. They both have plays you have to do to get
the ball where they need to get it. Football and basketball
have some similarities but many things are different. One
thing is the uniforms and equipment, football has tighter
and more protective equipment. Basketball has baggier
and less patting, you only wear knee pads if wanted.
Basketball has a round and orange ball with 4 black lines
and football has a ​oblong​ shape ball that is brown with 8
white stitches. These are only a few similarities and
differences but there are many other.



Cause and Effect

Playing basketball has many causes and effects. Some
are good and some are bad. A good effect is when
someone hits your hand while someone you are shooting
the ball. That is called a f​ oul​. Since you got fouled you get
to take foul shots. On the contrary you could be the one
fouling the other player. Another cause could be you shot
the ball and make it. If you make it you get you get 2 or 3
points depending on where you shoot. If you miss you
don’t get points and the other team may get the ball. In
basketball there are many causes and effects in.



Problem and solution

There were 30 seconds left in the game the score was
tied. Isla had to get the ball down the court as fast as
possible. She passed the ball down the court to Kayla. Isla
ran as fast as she could. Kayla bounced passed the ball
back to Isla and she went for the layup. There are 5
seconds left on the clock her team is cheering louder than
a tigers roar. 3, 2, 1 score Isla made the layup. The crowd
cheered, Isla just won the state championships, they are
going to nationals.
