With 15 seconds left on the clock, I watched from half court as a teammate snatched a rebound from an opponent’s off-center shot. With the ball in his grasp and the clock still ticking, I slide both my Joy-Cons back, rolling back to our side of the court and positioning myself for a clean shot at the basket. This is it.
The ball is passed to a teammate, who already has an opponent guarding him. I wave my hands by the three-point line to signal a pass. The ball is tossed to me, and with just five seconds left, I shoot with a flick of my wrists. The ball bounces off the rim once, then again as the clock hits zero, before finally sinking into the net. The court explodes in confetti as we take the win.
