basketball
I had the worst breakaway at basketball last night. Intercepted a pass near the top of the key in our defensive zone, and drove right up the middle, but then wigged out as I could see out of the corners of both eyes the opponents reaching out for me. Chickened out and stopped short of the lay-up, and turned around only to find a third opponent right behind me, and my team-mates standing around in our defensive zone watching me.
*facepalm*
In my panic I tried to lop the ball over the guy behind me but I flopped and it fell into his hands instead.
Next time: more confidence, please. Or maybe, some back-up please. You don't really expect me to make a breakaway lay-up, do you?
In my defence, the opponents were hard on the defence, and earlier that game two of them had fouled me by pushing me down while I was going for a lay-up, so I was a little bit quite intimidated by the two that I could see following me on the breakaway.
