Hello boys and girls! This time I'll talk about Basketball, my favorite sport.
Well, Basketball is a sport that it plays with the hands and a ball. The game consist of two teams of five players each one. The objective of the team is put the ball in the hoop of the team antagonist. If you throw the ball from inside of the half circle you score two points. If you throw the ball outside the half circle, you score three points. Each player must bounce the ball to advance on the court. You can only give two footsteps without bouncing. The sport requires technique for throw, pass the ball, dribbling and jump. It's a sport of contact. It needs a lot of practice, to manage the ball and play as a team. The time of the match is divided on four periods. The time is variable; it depends of the rules of the tournament. In National Basketball Association, the most famous league of the world, periods are during twelve minutes. The team with more points at the end of the fourth period wins the match.
I practice basketball since I was a little kid. I started at age of eight years. In my school period, I trained three-four times a week. I loved it. But in my last year in the school, I had a seriously injury on my knee. It was terrible for me. It required an operation to repair the damage of the ligament and six mouths of recovery. I tried to get back to the Basketball in my first year of the University, but again my knee suffered a new injury. Since that time I didn't train Basketball anymore. It was very sad. But the live continues...
