Part 1
Paul and I were on our school basketball team, The Lions.保罗和我是学校篮球队狮子队的队员。
We loved basketball and were both huge fans of the NBA.我们热爱篮球,都是NBA的铁杆球迷。
When we weren't playing on the court which was next to our building, we were watching a game on TV. My favourite player was LeBron James.
当我们不在大楼旁边的球场上比赛时,我们在电视上看比赛。我最喜欢的球员是勒布朗·詹姆斯。
Paul's favourite player was Tyrone Bogues, a guy who played for the Charlotte Hornets, although we actually agree that they are both champions.
保罗最喜欢的球员是曾效力于夏洛特黄蜂队的蒂隆·博格,尽管我们实际上同意他们都是冠军。
Bogues was only 1.6 metres tall, which made him the shortest player ever in the NBA, Guess what
博格斯只有1.6米高,这使他成为NBA有史以来最矮的球员,你猜怎么着?
Paul was only 1.6 metres tall, too! Paul knew that being shorter than other players meant that he had to practise more.
保罗也只有一米六高!保罗知道比其他球员矮意味着他必须多练习。
During all those hours of doing jump shots on his own, he used Bogues as his inspiration. Paul once said, “lf Bogues could make it, why not me “
在他独自跳投的那几个小时里,他以博格为灵感。保罗曾经说过:“如果博格能成功,为什么我不能?”
Our coach was not so sure. Paul had to try out many times just for making the team. He was still usually on the bench, being just a replacement, which was really tough on him.我们的教练不太确定。保罗为了进入球队不得不多次试训。他通常仍然坐在替补席上,只是一个替补,这对他来说真的很艰难。
Everyone knew Paul had real skills, and was someone who worked really hard and had a strong desire to play for the team, However, Paul didn't get a chance.
每个人都知道保罗有真正的技术,是一个非常努力的人,有着为球队效力的强烈愿望,然而,保罗没有得到机会。
This week, The Lions were playing our main competitors, The Bears, a team whose record this season had been perfect. They hadn't lost a single game.
本周,狮子队将对阵我们的主要竞争对手熊队,这支球队本赛季的战绩非常完美。他们一场也没输。
It would be a tough one. Paul didn't know he'd soon get the chance that he'd been waiting for.
这将是一场艰难的比赛。保罗不知道他会很快得到他一直在等待的机会。

Suddenly, a player and I crashed into each other. Pain raced through my body. My knee hurt badly. The team gathered around, looking worried.
突然,我和一个球员撞到了一起。疼痛在我全身蔓延。我的膝盖很疼。队伍围了过来,看起来很棘手。
The last quarter was about to begin, and my team was behind by 10 points.

“I don't think I can play anymore, coach," I said quietly as the doctor put an ice pack on my knee.

“No way," the coach replied sharply. "We've got no more players!

"That's right," another player said. "We're losing anyway, Let Paul play!”
“没错,”另一名球员说。“不管怎样,我们都输了,让保罗上场吧!”
“Let me try, coach! I won't let you down!" Paul said.
“让我试试,教练!我不会让你失望的!”保罗说。
"OK, Ok!" the coach finally agreed, “Don't let us down, Paul. It's your time to shine.
“好的,好的!”教练最后同意了,“别让我们失望,保罗。现在是你发光的时候了。”。
Paul jumped up and rushed onto the court. And clearly, all the extra hours that he'd spent practising alone paid off.
保罗跳起来冲向球场。很明显,他独自练习的所有额外时间都得到了回报。
The other team just couldn't keep up with his energy and speed. He made shot after shot, and the crowd couldn't stop clapping and cheering.
另一支球队就是跟不上他的精力和速度。他投进了一个又一个球,观众们情不自禁地鼓掌欢呼。
When the game ended, our team had won by two points.比赛结束时,我们队以两分之差获胜。
“Well,” said the coach as he hit Paul on the shoulder, “you‘ve just earned your place on the team, big guy!”
