Typical defense lifting the leg. Another defense is to kick your legs backwards. ''I wanna be like Mike'' down to the last four. Almost got him there. Everyone get in close to trap them. Then there was three. Now there are only two. It was a very close game we actually weren't sure who won for a little while there.
