When basketball is more important than life

When basketball is more important than life, injury is a piece of cake. Although I might injure by defending or grabbing the ball, honestly, it's "robbing" the ball, all I care about is the magical ball that help to earn points when we shot into the hoop. During the basketball practice, when I was defending the offense, the offense's head accidentally bumped against my face. It hurt yet I bore the pain since the basketball game won't stop for me. It happened another accident in the following round-- my nose was sacrificed for the ball, which I protected with all my strength. However, it was worth for me to protect. Mr. Lee then taught me the correct way to grab the ball and protect myself, which I can achieve two things at one stroke. It's silly to hurt yourself because you don't show filial piety toward your parents. When I don't mind to hurt myself, my parents will worry about me. Therefore, I will never injure myself intentionally from now on.
