There are 5 minutes left in the semifinals and the Strikers losing by one point. Steven is afraid being goalie because he’s afraid of the fast balls flying toward him. Steven isn’t the fastest runner in the league but he is the best faker, shooter and passer in the league. He is the second fastest. Number 9 on the other team, the Rats was the fastest in the league. Number 9 ran all the way down to the other side of the field to get the ball away from Steven. Steven scored to untie the game. Number 9 slid into Steven’s right leg and broke his leg. Crack! That was Steven’s ankle cracking. “OOOOOWWWWW!” yelled Steven. “Red card number 9,” said ref. Number 9 was out of the game and so he walked off the field. The Strikers beat the Rats by 1 point. Steven’s team the Strikers was one of the best teams in the league. They won because the Rats lost their best player. The Rat’s would of tide the game if they didn’t lose number nine. The Strikers lost five games in the playoffs against the Burning Balls witch is the other team. The burning ball need one more game then there in the mini cup finals. The Strikers need to win the next five games then there in the mini cup finals. Stevens thinking if he should go in the game or if he should leave it to the rest of the team if the doctor takes of his cast. The doctor takes of his cast. “Doctor Brian is my leg strong enough to play my game tomorrow?” asked Steven. “Yes!” said Doctor Brian. “Coach I’m going to be at the game tomorrow but do not put me in at the beginning of the game because I’m scared of getting hurt again. I will go into the game when the team is in trouble in the last half.”
So Steven went into the end of the next games. The strikers went into the mini cup finals. That was a huge come back for the strikers. Steven helped his team to win the next games by scoring the ending goals. This is the mini cup finals. The Strikers are playing against the Crushers. No team had ever beaten the Crushers. The Crushers have the same players as last year. They didn’t get any new players this year. In the Mini cup finals both teams gets one chance to win the mini cup. This is going to be tough game for the Strikers. The game is starting. “Coach, can I play now?” asked Steven. He was so worried because he didn’t want to let his team down and most of all he wanted to get in the game. “Not yet because I don’t want you to hurt your leg and I don’t want you to be tired at the end of the game,” said coach. Steven was the only one on the bench. He had two wait until the second half is over. “Finally, the half is over!” said Steven. “Guys you are doing well verse the best team in the league.” The second half is beginning and the game is still tied. The best player in the league is in the game and it is still tied because the Strikers are playing their best. “I can’t believe you guys kept the game tied 0-0,” said Steven. “Were tide because were playing our best”, said Adam.
Steven is thinking if the Crushers went easy on us or if they were playing their best. He is scared if the crushers still have all there energy and saved it for the second half. ”Steven go kick some butt out there,” said coach. Steven was worried he will let his team down. The ball went rolling down to the Strikers side of the field a lot but there goalie kept on blocking it. Steven kept on messing up when he was shooting. Finally someone scores it was Steven. The Strikers are winning by one point. The score is 1-0. After that the Crushers are on fire but there missing goals. The ball is going past the goalie and Steven is right behind his goalie and blocks it for him. “Steven, switch with Adam!” said coach. “But I don’t want to be defender,” said Steven. “To keep the score the same for one more minutes,” said coach. The ball is in the air for the last second of the game the ball curved and the goalie missed the ball. Steven stops the ball from going in the goal .TWEEEETT TWEET TWEEEEEEEEETTTTTT. The Strikers win the mini cup. “Steven you saved the game!” said Adam.
