单元检测（三十七） Basketball

　　A

　　There is such a thing as winning by too much. A final score of 161­2 recently earned one winning coach of a Californian high school girls' basketball team a two­game suspension (停赛) for unsportsman­like behavior.

　　"The game just got away from me. I didn't expect them to be that bad. I'm not trying to embarrass anybody，" Arroyo Valley Coach Michael Anderson told the San Bernardino Sun about the blowout against Bloomington. In the second half, he played substitutes instead of starters, who played when the game began.

　　Hmm. Calling your competitor "bad" probably isn't helping the cause.

　　Coaches from other local high schools have spoken against Anderson's tactics (战术) as well. Throughout the entire first half of the game, Anderson used a full­court press, a method of playing basketball in which one team puts pressure on the other team in all parts of the court, and eventually his team won by 103 points. Bloomington only scored 1 point.

　　"Let them score，" Cajon Coach Mark Lehman, who led his team to victory too, said. "I don't think anyone would've had a problem if it was 161­50. But 161­2? ... Why not put up defense？"

　　Bloomington dealt with the loss as well as they could.

　　"People shouldn't feel sorry for my team，" Coach Dale Chung said after the game. "They should feel sorry for his team, which isn't learning the game the right way."

　　He said he was proud of his team, because the game would hardly affect them. However, he added, "But it should affect them a little."

　　The suspension doesn't seem to have changed the team's tactics much. After the 159­point win, Arroyo played against Indian Springs and won by 61 points.

　　"They responded as they usually do，" Arroyo's assistant coach Nick Anderson, 19, told the San Bernardino Sun of the 80­19 win. He was filling in for his dad, who was suspended.

　　He said, "It's nothing different. We just have a different coach. We're still going to run our game plan，like we always do."
