Question

  We were going to play against a team from a country school. They didn’t come until the game time arrived. They looked 1 than we had thought. They were wearing dirty blue jeans and looked like farm boys. We even thought that they had never seen a basketball before. We all sat down. We felt that we didn’t 2 any practice against a team like that. It was already so late that no 3 could be given to them or a warmup.

   The game began. One of our boys 4 the ball and he shot (掷) a long pass to our forward (前锋) . From out of nowhere a boy in a dirty T-shirt 5 the pass and with a beautiful form (姿势) he shot and got two points. They 6 US. Then they got 7 two points in a minute. Soon it was all over. The country team 8 US.

   We certainly learned that even though a team is good,there is usually another 9 a little better. But the important lesson we learned was：One can^ tell a man or a team by the 10 .
