1、胜利以外的事:胜利为权志龙做的事 Darius and Johntel have a lot in common. They are both talented high school seniors. They both love basketball. They are both captains of their respective high school basketball teams. But on one Saturday night in February, they were forever linked in the minds of all who were prese

Just hours before the3)tip-off Johntels mother lost her five-year battle with 4)cer
3、vical cancer. Her death was sudden and devastating to all who knew her, and Johntels 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
4、 werent prepared for was Johntels appearance in the gym mid-way through the first half.As soon as he saw him, Johntels coach called a 5)time out, and players and fans surrounded the grieving young man to offer love and support. The coach asked him if he wanted to sit on the bench with the team.“No,”
5、 Johntel said. “I want to play.”Of course his team was thrilled to have him. But because Johntel wasnt on the pre-game6)roster, putting him in the game at that point would result in a technical 7)foul and two free throws for the opposing team. Johntels coach was OK with that. He could see that this

The referees argued that a rule is a rule, and the free throws would have to be taken before the game could proc

As team captain, Darius 8)volunteered to take the shots.One would have expected he was looking for an opportunity to keep his team close in a hard-fought game against a

Or one could even assume he wanted a chance to add a couple of points to his personal statistics.In either case, one would be wrong.Darius took the ball from the official, looked at the basket, and calmly shot the ball.Now, basketball purists know that the free throw line is 15 feet
9、 from the basket. Dariuss first shot only traveled about four feet. His second shot only traveled two.Immediately Johntel and his teammates understood what Darius was doing. They stood and applauded the gesture of sportsmanship as Darius made his way back to his bench. So did all of the big city fan

12、night.”达利斯和约翰特尔有很多共同点。她俩全部是优异的高三在读生,全部热爱篮球,是各自所在高中的篮球队队长。二月里一个周六的晚上,两人所共同表现出的勇气、体育精神和对相互的尊重,让她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。开赛前的多个小时,约翰特尔的母亲在和子宫癌的5年抗争中败下阵来。她的忽然辞世对认识她的每一个人来说,全部是一个沉重的打击。约翰特尔的教练计划取消这场比赛,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
13、友们怀着沉重的心情准备上场期望在队长缺席的情况下还能拿下这场比赛。出乎她们的意料,上半场进行到二分之一的时候,约翰特尔就出现在了体育馆里。一见到约翰特尔,教练立即就要求暂停。队友和球迷们纷纷包围着这位承受着丧亲之痛的年轻人,给其抚慰和支持。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。”她要上场比赛,这当然令她的队友们全部兴奋不已。但因为约翰特尔的名字不在赛前登记的运动员名册上,若她此时上场,就会造成该队技术犯规,对方球队会取得两个罚球。约翰特尔的教练对此并没有意见。她看得出,约翰特尔这个青年是想借此缓解其丧亲之痛比分并不主要。对方球队也了解此时的情况。她们
14、对裁判表示,让约翰特尔上场,不用判对方球队技术犯规。但裁判辩讲解,必需严格实施比赛规则,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收因对方技术犯规而取得的罚球,这还是头一次。作为队长,达利斯主动出来投射罚球。有些人可能会认为,和来自大城市一所高中的篮球队苦战到了这刻,达利斯想借机凝聚全队士气,又或想借此在个人得分上添上两分。不论哪一个想法,全部错了。达利斯从裁判手中接过球,看着篮球筐,平静地射球。在场全部熟知篮球比赛规则的人全部知道,罚球线距离篮板15英尺,可达利斯的第一个罚球却只投出了4英尺,而第二个罚球也只投出2英尺。约翰特尔和她的队友们马上明白了达利斯的用意。当达利斯走回场外长凳时,约翰特尔和她的球友们全部站了起来,为达利斯展现的运动精神鼓掌喝彩。而大城市篮球队的球迷亦掌声不停。赛后,达利斯对密尔沃基哨兵报表示:“我之因此这么做,是为了那个刚失去母亲的球员,就该这么做。”那晚,约翰特尔所率领的篮球队没有辜负关注她们球队的人的期望,她们以领先15分的优势取得了胜利。但赛后,两队的队员碰头一起去吃比萨饼喝汽水,双方全部没太在意比赛输赢或是个人得分情况。“我们的孩子将会终生铭记那一刻,”达利斯的教练说道,“20年后,她们或许不会记得这场比赛的结果,但却一定会记得那一晚在体育馆里发生的一切。”本文为全文原貌 未安装PDF浏览器用户请先下载安装 原版全文
