After scrimmaging
　　Laurie: How'd I do today?
　　Carol: You choked a lot. When someone tried to strip the ball from you, they'd force you to make errors.
　　Laurie: Oh yeah. I guess I did double dribble a lot.
　　Carol: Your passes were all over the place. You're no guard, and you're not tall enough for center.
　　Laurie: Hey, but I made a three-pointer! And I blocked a couple of passes.
　　Carol: No, you goaltended. That's not legal. And most of your shots were either air balls or bricks.
　　Laurie: So I was a little nervous...

　　比球后
　　萝莉：我今天表现如何？
　　卡罗：你没施展开来。当有人要抄你球时，他们会逼你出错。
　　萝莉：对耶。我猜我犯了很多次两次运球。
　　卡罗：你传的球满场乱飞。你不是后卫，你的身高也不够打中锋。
　　萝莉：嘿，但是我有投进一个三分球！而且我阻断了好几次传球。
　　卡罗：不，你是干扰投篮。那是犯规的。而且你大部分的投篮不是面包球就是碰了篮框或篮板没进。
　　萝莉：我是有一点紧张啦……

　　Ten days later
　　Carol: You're coming along great. You've got a mean pass, and your free throw stats are improving daily.
　　Laurie: Don't forget my lay-up. And fall-back jumper. I never thought I'd get that one down.
　　Carol: I'll show you the hook today. Let's work on your footwork.
　　Laurie: All those videos of old games that you're having me watch are really helping.
　　Carol: Good. A little later in the day, some girls will stop by to practice some plays.
　　Laurie: You mean all the offense-defense stuff you've taught me?
