胜利以外的事：胜利为权志龙做的事

1、Darius and Johntel have a lot in common. They are both talented highschool seniors. They both love basketball. They are both captains of theirrespective high school basketball teams. But on one Saturday night inFebruary, they were forever linked in the minds of all who were presentfor a 1)mutual act

2、 of courage, 2)sportsmanship, and respect.The remarkable moment came during a game between Dariusssmall-town Illinois team and Johntels big-city team in Wisconsina gamethat almost wasn t played. Just hours before the3)tip-off Johntel mother lost her five-year battle with 4)cervical cancer. Her death

3、 wasssudden and devastating to all who knew her, and Johntel s coach wanted to cancel the game. But Johntel insisted that the game should be played,and so with heavy hearts his teammates prepared to honor their captains wishes and to playand hopefully winwithout him. What they werentprepared for was

4、 Johntels appearance in the gym mid-way through thefirst half.As soon as he saw him, Johntels coach called a 5)time out, andplayers and fans surrounded the grieving young man to offer love andsupport. The coach asked him if he wanted to sit on the bench with theteam.“No, ” Johntel said. “I want to p

5、lay. ”Of course his team was thrilled to have him. But because Johntelwasn t on the pre-game6)roster, putting him in the game at that pointwould result in a technical 7)foul and two free throws for the opposingteam. Johntel s coach was OK with that. He could see that this was theteenager s way of co

6、ping with his lossthe points didnt matter.The opposing team understood the situation and told the referees tolet Johntel play and to forget the technical foul. The referees argued that arule is a rule, and the free throws would have to be taken before the gamecould proceed.For possibly the first tim

7、e in basketball history, officials had to force ateam to accept and take the technical free throws. As team captain, Darius8)volunteered to take the shots.One would have expected he was looking for an opportunity to keephis team close in a hard-fought game against a big city school. Or onecould even

8、 assume he wanted a chance to add a couple of points to hispersonal statistics.In either case, one would be wrong.Darius took the ball from the official, looked at the basket, and calmlyshot the ball.Now, basketball purists know that the free throw line is 15 feet fromthe basket. Darius s first shot

9、 only traveled about four feet. His secondshot only traveled two.Immediately Johntel and his teammates understood what Darius wasdoing. They stood and applauded the gesture of sportsmanship as Dariusmade his way back to his bench. So did all of the big city fans.“I did it for the guy who lost his Mo

10、m,” Darius told the 9)MilwaukeeJournal Sentinel after the game.“It was the right thing to do.”For those who are concerned about such things, Johntels team rodethe emotion of the night to a 15-point victory. But as the two teams metafter the game for pizza and 10)sodas, nobody on either side was tooc

12、高中的篮球队队长。二月里一个周六的晚上,两人所共同表现出的勇气、体育精神以及对彼此的尊重,让他俩的形象永远紧紧相连,铭刻在了现场每一位观众的心中。这次比赛是达利斯率领的来自伊利诺斯小镇的篮球队对抗约翰特尔率领的来自威斯康星这个大城市的篮球队一场差点儿就没打成的比赛。那非凡的一刻就发生在这场比赛中。 开赛前的几个小时 ,约翰特尔的妈妈在与子宫癌的5 年抗争中败下阵来。她的突然辞世对认识她的每一个人来说,都是一个沉重的打击。约翰特尔的教练打算取消这场比赛,但约翰特尔坚持要按原计划比赛。出于对队长意愿的尊重 ,队友们怀着沉重的心情准备上场希望在队长缺席的情况下还能拿下这场比赛。出乎他们的意料 ,上半

13、场进行到一半的时候,约翰特尔就出现在了体育馆里。一见到约翰特尔 ,教练马上就要求暂停。 队友和球迷们纷纷包围着这位承受着丧亲之痛的年轻人 ,给予其安慰和支持。 教练问约翰特尔是否想和队友们一块坐在长凳上。“不 ,”约翰特尔说道 ,“我要上场比赛。”他要上场比赛 ,这当然令他的队友们都兴奋不已。但因为约翰特尔的名字不在赛前登记的运动员名册上,若他此时上场 ,就会造成该队技术犯规 ,对方球队会获得两个罚球。约翰特尔的教练对此并没有意见。他看得出,约翰特尔这个青年是想借此缓解其丧亲之痛比分并不重要。对方球队也理解此时的状况。 他们对裁判表示 ,让约翰特尔上场 ,不用判对方球队技术犯规。但裁判辩解说,必须严格执行比赛规则 ,得先罚球再继续进行比赛。或许在篮球史上 ,由裁判强制一个球队接受因对方技术犯规而获得的罚球,这
