2、yer was Tyrone Bogues, a guy who played for the Charlotte Hornets, although we actually agree that they are both champions.1Bogues was only 1.6 metres tall, which made him the shortest player ever in the NBA2Guess what? Paul was only 1.6 metres tall, too! Paul knew that being shorter than other play
3、ers meant that he had to practise more.3 During all those hours of doing jump shots on his own, he used Bogues as his inspiration.Paul once said，“If Bogues could make it， why not me？”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，b
4、eing just a replacement， which was really tough on him.4 Everyone knew Paul had real skills, and was someone who worked really hard and had a strong desire to play for the team.5 However, Paul didnt get a chance.This week, The Lions were playing our main competitors，The Bears, a team whose record th

8、们认为他们都是冠军。博格斯身高只有一米六，是NBA历史上最矮的球员。你猜怎么着？保罗身高也只有一米六！保罗知道比其他球员矮意味着他必须加强练习。在他自己跳投的时候，他用博格斯激励自己。保罗曾经说过：“如果博格斯能做到，为什么我不能呢？”我们的教练并不这么看。保罗多次参加选拔，方才入选球队。然而，他仍旧通常“坐板凳”作为替补队员，这对他来说是真够倒霉的。每个人都知道保罗有真本事，而且他非常努力，想为球队做贡献。然而，保罗没有机会。本周，狮子队将与我们的劲敌熊队比赛。熊队在本赛季战绩堪称完美，他们没有输过一场比赛。这将是一场硬仗。保罗这时并不知道他很快就能拥有一直等待的机会。Part 2Sudde

15、说，“不管怎样我们都要输了，让保罗上场吧！”“让我试试吧，教练！我不会让你失望的！”保罗说。“好吧，好吧！”教练最终同意了。“别让我们失望，保罗。你发光发亮的时刻到了。”保罗跳起来冲上球场。显然，他所有额外时间的独自练习都得到了回报。对手队跟不上他的力量和速度。他的进球一个接一个，人群不停地鼓掌欢呼。比赛结束时，我们队以两分的优势赢得了比赛。“嗯，”教练一边拍着保罗的肩膀一边说，“你已经为自己赢得了球队中的位置，大个子！”Step One: PrereadingWhat is an underdog?
