The pressure of making the shot weighs heavily on Eddie's mind from "summary" of Million Dollar Shot, The (new cover) by Dan Gutman

Eddie had never been under so much pressure in his life. The weight of the world seemed to be on his shoulders as he stood there, staring at the basketball in his hands. The entire gym was silent, all eyes on him, waiting to see if he would make the shot of a lifetime. As he dribbled the ball, Eddie could feel his heart pounding in his chest. Every muscle in his body felt tense, every nerve on edge. The thought of missing the shot filled him with dread, making his hands tremble ever so slightly. Images of what could go wrong flashed through his mind – the ball bouncing off the rim, the crowd gasping in disappointment, his reputation ruined. The pressure was overwhelming, suffocating, like a heavy blanket that threatened to smother him. Despite his best efforts to focus, Eddie couldn't shake the fear that gripped him, clouding his mind and making it difficult to concentrate. The weight of expectation bore down on him, threatening to crush his confidence and steal his courage. In that moment, Eddie realized the true magnitude of what was at stake. This was more than just a basketball game – it was a test of his skill, his nerve, his character. The pressure of making the shot loomed large, casting a shadow over his every move. With a deep breath, Eddie steadied himself and took aim. The noise around him faded away, leaving only the sound of his own heartbeat in his ears. In that moment of clarity, he knew what he had to do. And with a flick of his wrist, he let the ball fly, leaving the rest up to fate.
