Bowser Jr.'s Basketball Shootout

It's a beautiful day at Bowser's Castle where Bowser Jr. is enjoying his day playing sports and today, he is going to shoot some hoops. Bowser Jr. smiled and said, "I love to play basketball and hopefully, I'll be able to get some baskets! Well, let's go shoot some hoops."

So Bowser Jr. picked up his basketball and then, he is off to the basketball court.

When Bowser Jr. got there, he saw the court with the game timer. Bowser Jr. smiled and said, "Now, all I need is a referee and I'm all set to play!"

Just then, Bowser came in and said, "Hey, son! What brings you here?"

Bowser Jr. smiled and replied, "I'm going to shoot some hoops and I need you to be the referee for this game. So, will you do it?"

"Of course, son! I'll be happy to do that!" Bowser replied with a smile, "Now, all we need is the whistle and the stopwatch so we can play this game and I got them right here! So, shall we do this, son?"

"You bet, dad!" Bowser Jr. replied as they walk to the court for his very first shootout.

Bowser took out his stopwatch and set it for sixty seconds. Then he said, "Now, here's how the game is going to work. You have one minute to shoot as many baskets as you can. If you miss, then you'll move on to the next one. Just keep on shooting until you hear the buzzer. OK?"

"Got it, dad!" Bowser Jr. replied with a smile, basketball in hand.

Bowser agreed with him and said, "OK! The stopwatch is already set for one minute and that means we are all set and ready to play! Now, the moment I finish the countdown, I'll blow the whistle and the game will begin. Remember, you have one minute! Ready, son?"

"All set, dad!" Bowser Jr. replied with a thumbs up.

"Alright, then! Here we go! The game begins in 3…"

Bowser Jr. took a deep breath.

"2…"

He looked at the basket very carefully.

"1…"

Bowser Jr. smiled as he awaits the sound of the whistle from his dad. Bowser held up his whistle to his lips, waited for a moment and then…

It's game time…

TWEET!

With the whistle blown all across the castle, Bowser Jr. took his first shot right away, scoring the first basket of the game as the stopwatch began its countdown.

As the game continues on, Bowser Jr. kept on shooting with every basket he makes. Bowser looked at the stopwatch and said, "Thirty seconds!"

With the stopwatch reaching the final twenty seconds, Jr. began to score more baskets with each new shot. Bowser saw it all as the buzzer is fast approaching.

After fifty seconds, the stopwatch is now entering its final countdown. Bowser saw the timer and said, "Hurry up, son! Ten seconds!"

With only a few seconds left, Jr. kept on going. Bowser looked at the stopwatch for the last time and begin counting down the final seconds.

"5, 4, 3, 2, 1…"

BUZZ!

The buzzer went off on the stopwatch, signaling the end of the game. Bowser heard it and said, "FINISH!"

Bowser Jr. heard his dad's call and ran to him. Bowser smiled at his son and said, "Great shooting, son! Let's see how well you did."

Bowser Jr. agreed with him and said, "OK!"

Then Bowser looked at the results and said, "Son, after sixty seconds of shooting, you have made… 20 BASKETS! Nice job, son! Say, do you want to play again with ninety seconds this time?"

"Of course I'm ready for more! Let's do it, dad!" Bowser Jr. replied with a smile as they enjoy an afternoon of basketball.
