The sports team’s big win
1. Our school basketball team is a great example. They won the city middle school basketball competition last month, and everyone was proud of them.
Their team spirit
The team has twelve members, and their coach Mr. Zhang is their leader.
2. For example, Leo is tall and good at shooting(投篮), so he is in charge of scoring; Ben is fast and good at passing, so he helps pass the ball to teammates. No one cares about who scores more. They only care about the team.
The hard time
3. Everyone felt worried, and some even thought they would lose the game. But Leo said, “I can still play for the team!” The other players cheered him up and decided to work harder. They practised passing and defending(防守) every day after school, and Mr. Zhang made a new plan for the match.
The final win
In the final match, the other team was very strong. 4. But they didn’t panic. Ben passed the ball quickly, and Tom scored two three-pointers(三分球). Leo also tried his best to block the other team’s shooting. Finally, our school team won the match!
What we learn
When asked what makes a great team, the captain Ben said, “A great team is about trust and cooperation. We win together, and we face difficulties together.
