Big Nate Game On! (Summary so far..)

So far in my book,  theres just a game of basketball.  But Nate has this problem during a game.  Which is just trash talking.  Its pretty weird,  I didn't know the most part of basketball was trash talking.  Thats all that matter to him in a basketball game was just trash talking.   Then something about him making a lot of post cards of nothing but trash talk.  He even insults his coach to warm up.   But then he some how found a solution which was just ignoring them.  Because in this kind of version is just kids trash talking more then playing games.
