The Ending
Summer Ball by Mike Lupica, pages read 140-244. Now where I last left off Danny Walker was going through a dilema that could decide his future as a basketball player. He was about to leave the right way basketball camp. But showing his nevers and toughness u stayed and plaed out his trip. But him seeing his friend Tess eased the burden. When he seen and talked with her it made him feel back to his normal self again. He is ready to show Mr. Powers, the coach he can't please that he is ready. But in this final journey in the book drama is at the highest of levels. Danny dealing with lots of things. On the court, or off the court it all happens. Starting with a confrentation with a star player on the opposite team. Danny and Lamar Parrish grew into rivals. Lamar is a showboat and an ignorant player who gets in your skin one way or another. Even to the point where him and Danny fought. Then even Danny's minutes were getting reduced with everygame. He was in the doghouse with coach Powers and had beef at the camp. His camp is not going in the right direction again. But everything chanes for one last time. After the figh he steeped up mentally and physically. Avoid the arrogance of Lamar and gettin more minutes during the playoffs, even getting time during the end of the game when the smartest of decision need to be made. At the last game when he met up with Lamar's team he showed what he was made of. Assisting many players and on the last play shutting down Lamar for the game winning steal. But the question is how do you think Danny handeled himself at a camp where his coach didn't even think he belonged?
