I learned to play basketball
The weather is good today. I want to ask my cousin to take me and teach me how to play basketball. At this time, when I heard it, I happily came to the basketball court with my cousin.
My cousin first told me the rules of playing basketball. I listened attentively. After that, while my cousin was teaching me to throw, I saw him put his right hand on the right side of the basketball and his left hand on top of the basketball. Then he moved his right wrist, jumped his foot, and with a "swish" sound, he went in, so I Without saying a word, I picked up the basketball and started shooting. It took about two hours and a few minutes to shoot, but I couldn't even shoot the basketball. I threw the basketball angrily and wanted to leave. My cousin saw me and ran over patiently. Said: "Failure is the mother of success. As long as you work hard, you will succeed. If you act like a baby, you will only get nothing." After hearing this, I felt that my cousin was right, so I picked up the basketball and started shooting seriously. After an hour and a half, I was able to hit the backboard. After half an hour, I not only hit the backboard but also made a few shots. In the evening, I went home with a satisfied mood. My cousin said that he would teach me tomorrow. Dribbling!
The next day, the red sun was rising, and my cousin and I met on the court by chance. At first, my cousin taught me how to dribble, and I concentrated on practicing. But the ball still didn't listen to me. It either hit my foot or knocked the ball crookedly. Gradually I mastered the rules of playing basketball. After nearly three hours of hard practice, my dribbling skills have improved so fast that it is dazzling. I was even more serious when my cousin taught me a three-step layup. At first I often hit my head when I was doing a three-step layup, but I was not discouraged and kept chasing. I finally learned it through persistent practice!
After learning basketball this time, I understand that I need to persist in doing things. Perseverance, not afraid of hardship, not afraid of tiredness, only in this way can we achieve success.
