"A shot in the locker" = phát bắn trong phòng thay đồ -> nghĩa là cơ hội cuối cùng để làm, đạt được điều gì. 

Ví dụ
Wouldn't be surprised if he has more, let's say treatment (điều trị) like he did last week. He took a shot in the locker room and came back and then played. He should be fine going forward. But yes, unlike that X-ray machine, I can actually tell you, they were cracked (nứt).

But there was one last shot in the locker. Just before Bush Sr handed over to Bill Clinton, he met Yeltsin to sign the Start II treaty, which Scowcroft had done so much to devise (di sản). It specified the elimination of all MIRV land-based missiles within a decade. These accumulated (ước lượng) moves to reduce nuclear instability will probably be Scowcroft’s most enduring legacy.

It may be that they think Peter is 55 (years old) and Michael is 45 and this is the one last shot in the locker for Peter but there is still time for Michael.
