Eddie's heart races as he lines up his shot from "summary" of Million Dollar Shot, The (new cover) by Dan Gutman
Eddie stood at the free throw line, his heart pounding in his chest. The gym was silent, all eyes on him as he dribbled the ball a few times, trying to calm his nerves. This was his chance to win a million dollars, to change his family's life forever. As he lined up his shot, Eddie couldn't help but think about all the things he could do with the money. His mom wouldn't have to work two jobs anymore, his little sister could go to a good school, and maybe they could even buy a house instead of renting that tiny apartment. But he had to focus. He had to block out the distractions and concentrate on the hoop in front of him. He took a deep breath, trying to steady his shaking hands. He had practiced this shot a thousand times, but this was different. This was real. The ball left his fingertips, arcing through the air towards the basket. Time seemed to slow down as it approached, every eye in the gym following its path. And then, with a satisfying swoosh, it dropped through the net. The crowd erupted in cheers as Eddie's heart soared. He had done it. He had made the shot that would change his life. As he was surrounded by his teammates, the reality of what he had just accomplished sunk in. He had won a million dollars. He had made his family proud. And he had proven to himself that he had what it takes to succeed.
