An Unforgettable Team Game

     

     An unforgettable team game for me was the finals in the Inter-Class Basketball Competition when I was in high school. Basketball games were huge popular and very competitive at our school as our school basketball team was unbeatable難以戰勝的 in inter-school basketball leagues聯盟. Winning the finals was not only an honor for the winning team but its team members were likely to be invited to join the school team. The two teams in the finals were the best of the best, having each beaten eight teams. I was lucky enough to be in one of the two teams.

     The team my team was playing against was considered被認為 the better team because its players were taller, with an average height of 6 feet. They had superb極好的 skills in passing and dribbling運球. As expected, we were not off to a good start, trailing behind落後 by 15 points at halftime半場, because they had the ball most of the time. During the halftime break, our coach gave us a pep talk鼓勵的話, reminding us of the importance of team work. They might be taller than us and have better skills, but it was not impossible to outsmart勝過 them through tactical戰術的 maneuvers演習. In the second half, we were a different team, able to narrow the score to 65-67. With five seconds left, I passed the ball to Peter, who made a three-point shoot. With the final whistle, we left the court victoriously as the shoot reversed the score to be 68-67, and our supporters erupted into thunderous如雷 applause掌聲.
