Standing in front of Big Pizza, 7 boys, without any words, looked at each other…
Actually, I was one of the 7 guys and I knew maybe it was the last time we have get together. Maybe it was time to say goodbye, but I didn’t know what to say. Thomas put his hand in front of me, we shook hands and embraced. Bert seemed to be more conversable, he told me that if I would study in Holland, I could visit him because his college is not far away. The simplest words sometimes include the most complex emotion, I mean it, so I just said goodbye to Thomas and Bert.
We, the basketball team of Department of Industrial Engineering, the Champion of the whole university. I cannot find a word to describe our team, the only thing I know is that every shoot, every rebound and every game we lost or won will be imprinted on my mind forever. Yesterday, it was the last time we have played as a team. A month later, Thomas and Bert will return to Germany. We don’t know if we can build such a wonderful team again, but who care? The only game we lost was the first game during the first round which made us grow up and taught us what “easy basketball” was. From then on, we team became stronger, and we won the team of SME at the last second of the OT game and won the championship. I dare to say it was the most exciting game in the basketball history of our university. We passed the ball, shot, fast broke… Nothing seemed suspensive, and of course, we took a victory as a goodbye present for Thomas and Bert.
We went to dinner together in the evening. During the dinner, we talked about the future, the different college lives between Germany, and so on. We cheered for the fantastic year, wonderful games and friendship at last. Next, it was the scene at the beginning of this story.
So, goodbye, Thomas and Bert! Goodbye my Dream Team!
