Under my watchful care, Ethan's foot healed faster than expected, and before long, he was back on the court, training harder than ever.
With raw talent and sheer determination, he secured his place in the starting lineup—representing our state in the National Championship.
Our struggles had finally paid off. Time flew by, and before I knew it, the big day arrived.
As family, I wasn't about to miss it. I traveled all the way to the capital with Ethan, my heart swelling with pride—and just a little anxiety.
Would the pressure get to him?
The buzzer blared, and the players exploded into action. Ethan, a blur in his red jersey, snatched the ball first. With lightning speed, he weaved through defenders, soared toward the hoop, and slammed in the game's first points.
I leapt to my feet, screaming my lungs out.
But his brilliance made him a target. Opponents shoved, tripped, and fouled him—every hit twisting my stomach into knots.
Halftime came with the score tied. After a tense break, they stormed back onto the court.
The game turned brutal. Then, with just ten minutes left, everything changed.
Ethan became unstoppable. With Ryan Lowell's sharp passes, he sliced through defenses, racking up points like it was nothing.
As the lead grew, the crowd went wild.
When the final buzzer roared, Ethan and Ryan crashed into each other in a fierce hug. Then, through the chaos, Ethan found me in the stands and flashed our signature Spiderman hand sign.
"We won!" he shouted, grinning like mad.
The announcer's voice thundered through the arena, sending chills down my spine. Tears spilled over as I pressed a trembling hand to my mouth, pride and joy bursting inside me.
After everything—watching him shine like this—I could finally let go of my fears. My little brother had made it.
