That’s why I, who didn’t really enjoy sports, came to like basketball so much. I was curious about the basketball that the main characters play fiercely in the cartoon, and as I started watching NBA games, which I had no doubt that the characters were aiming for and would actually play, I fell in love with the charm of basketball. The reason was Apparently that was it.
But what I can say clearly now is that I playing basketball favorite no more reasons only Yes That is not true.
Basketball is simple. It’s a game where you just have to put a lot of balls in the rim. There are many techniques, strategies, and rules, but do you know how simple basketball feels when you live in a world that is more complex and has no right answers? There are many times in life when we desperately need a clear standard for winning or losing, which is simply to score more points than the opposing team. The more I realized that the rules of this world are that right and wrong are the same, differences cannot be clearly distinguished, and even winning and losing are not transparent, the more comfort I felt watching basketball games. In this chaotic life, I once again realize my goal of victory and gain the strength to simply rush towards it.
Additionally, basketball is a fairly fast sport. There are 4 quarters, 12 minutes per quarter, and during that time, the team exchanges attack rights with the opposing team once and goes back and forth on the court without a break. Since a lot of points are scored in 1 second, even if you are ahead by 20 points, you can lose at any time, and even if you are losing the whole time, in basketball, you can win with a buzzer beater thrown before the last 0.1 seconds. Thanks to this, even if the players are at a disadvantage in the beginning, they do not expect defeat and do their best until the end. Even if you are winning the entire time, don’t be too hasty in expecting victory. any Whether it’s sports It will end Until then done crab It’s not say used to but In basketball especially It seems so.
Looking back, I was quite scared and ran away many times. I hated feeling like I was falling behind compared to others, and I used to give up thinking I would eventually lose. If I hadn’t given up, if I had played until the end, wouldn’t I have been able to come from behind with one last winning shot?
The initial intention I had when I decided to pursue a career as a drama writer became blurred at some point, and I suffered a lot from the impatience of being left behind as I watched my peers win contests or achieve their own results. Not only that, in this society where it is easy to compare how much money someone made, how someone got married, what kind of house someone lives in, what car they drive, and even what they wear and eat, the feeling of defeat did not easily leave me.
However, now that I have come to like basketball, I have come to realize that in the game of life, the score can be overturned at any time, and as Mr. Ahn said that it is not over until it is over, I am determined to do my best on the court of life until the end of this life. It has been done. If someone, even if it’s my past self, gets ahead of my current self, I don’t easily feel defeated and have faith that my future self will eventually win with a better score.
Basketball taught me those things and I couldn’t help but like basketball.all.
Really, I like it won’t medical charge.
