He struggled free from them at last; then they turned their enthusiasm loose upon O'Connor and Stearns and the two guards.

that the Georgeburgh team was once more together in the locker room; there, in the joy of victory, they hugged one another.

乔治布格球队再一次集体出现在了更衣室，在胜利的喜悦中，他们相互拥抱。

And then at last O'Connor gasped, But it was Rod who did it. You bet! cried Stearns.

最后奥康娜气喘吁吁地说，但最后是罗德尼做到的，斯特恩斯叫嚷到当然了。

He did it with that last shot and by what he said to us between the halves.

是因为他的最后一投，以及他在半场对我们说的话。

Stop the fuss! protested Rodney, struggling out of his jersey. Just think of that final goal. Every one of us had the ball!

罗德尼抗议道，不要小题大做，一边说一边奋力地脱掉球衣，就想想最后一个球，它归功于我们每一个人！

Great teamwork, that's what did it! But the others would not listen to him. Well they knew that at the end of the first half they were a beaten team,

伟大的团队协作，这才是胜利的关键，但其他人不听他的，他们非常清楚在第一节结束时，他们被打败了，

that they would have been a beaten team at the end of the second half except for the words and example of their leader.

要不是队长的话语和榜样作用，他们在第二节结束依然会是惨败。

Rodney felt like shouting forth his joy. It was not the victory alone that was so sweet,

but rather the manner in which it had come through the power of the will to win in spite of great difficulties!

He felt that in leading his team to success he had found some hidden strength of which he had been ignorant.

他感觉在领导团队通往成功的道路上，他发现了他之前忽略了的隐藏力量。

The thought was new and brought with it a thrill of mastery that he had never in his life felt.

这种想法是新的，随之而来的是他从未感受过的征服的喜悦。

Boys, I'm proud of you! exclaimed Mr. Fisher as he joined them. I haven't the words to tell you how much!

兄弟们，我为你们感到骄傲，费希尔先生一边大喊着一边加入了他们，我的骄傲心情无以言表。

You did it all alone. Thanks to your coaching, added Rodney.
