Yoshi's Game-Winning Basket
It's a great day at Mario Stadium where the championship game is held and the Yoshi All-Stars are having a great time. The score is tied with 1 final free throw separating them and the title and Yoshi made a basket so he decided to make the game winning free throw for the team.
"The game's not over yet folks." the announcer said, "With the score tied thanks to Yoshi's basket, the team captain must make this game-winning free throw with no time left. The big question is can he make it? Well, we are about to find out right now as the team captain make his way to the line."
As Yoshi makes his way to the line, the crowd chanted his name all across the stadium. The stadium grew louder as the crowd chanted his name even louder, "Yoshi, Yoshi, Yoshi!"
Lakitu came to him with the ball in the fishing rod and said, "Well Yoshi, this is it. One free throw will decide it all and it all rides on this basketball I'm holding. Are you ready for the game-winning basket?"
Yoshi smiled to the ref and answered, "Yes, it will be my pleasure to make this final basket and everything that we've done so far rides on this. So let's do it!"
"All right, you have 1 shot. Good luck." he said as he gives the ball to him.
So there he was, with the game on the line. He bounced the ball 3 times and raised it up. The crowd grew very silent as Yoshi took one last deep breath. Then he said, "OK, I'll shoot on 3. Once I say shoot, I will release the ball and I'll find out whether the ball will go in or out. All right, here goes, 1, 2, 3... SHOOT!!"
With the word shouted, the dinosaur released the ball from his hands and begins to go up to the basket. The announcer said, "This is it, one final basket separates victory or defeat as the ball is approaching the basket. Will it go in?"
As the ball reached the backboard, it begins to spin around like a whirlpool for 3 times. And then it begins to slow down. It's just a matter of time whether the ball will go in the net or out. All Yoshi has to do is to watch & wait for the ball to go.
And then, it happened. The ball went through the net. The announcer held his breath and said, "YES!!"
As the crowd cheered very loudly, confetti fell on him as Yoshi made his game-winning basket. He said his name to the crowd, "YOSHI!!"
"He did it, Yoshi has made the game-winning basket!" the announcer said, "I can't believe this is happening folks but the dinosaur has done it again and the crowd loves it. Unbelievable!!"
And so, thanks to Yoshi's game-winning basket, the dinosaur felt very happy as the champion.
