Post-reading
Paul was a basketball player on the team, The Lions. He loved basketball so much. Paul was shorter than most basketball players; in fact he was only 1.6 metres. One of his NBA favourite players was Tyrone Bogues who was also the same height.
Paul had to practice much harder than others because of his height. He was always very determined and focused but unfortunately the coach never picked him for the team. Recently, Paul finally got his chance.
During a game against The Lions’ biggest competitor, The Bears, a player on the team was injured and Paul pleaded with the coach for a chance. The coach was unsure but allowed him to play. Paul proved that he was skilled and talented by scoring shot after shot. When the game ended, the coach told Paul that he had earned his place on the team.
