I have never been especially fit/healthy and I've never liked team/group sports. Plus, I couldn't really understand what's so thrilling about bouncing a ball up and down a pitch/court. However, four months ago, my brother talked me into joining him at basketball match/practice. Surprisingly, I took to it at once. The coach/instructor was very helpful and the rest of the team members/parts were very enthusiastic, so I went again and again. Finally, the moment/minute came for my first match/game. I was the newest member of the team/league so I was feeling very insecure. However, I managed to score/point six times during the second section/half, which helped us win/beat the game! This was when everything fell into place, and I finally understood what the basketball craze is all about!
