Ví dụ
Throughout the night, Heckathorn was senior quarterback Carson Davidson’s favorite target. The duo’s connection proved especially vital (quan trọng) when Blackhawk found its back against the wall.

They had a good plan early. We made some mistakes, but here’s the bottom line: the kids went in at halftime and they never doubted (nghi ngờ) what we were doing. To see the team respond the way they did was incredible. That’s what sports is all about, facing adversity (bất lợi), back against the wall and how these guys responded, I couldn’t be more proud of them.

“This conference has been a challenge but I’m sure there’s other guys who are like me on the team that enjoy challenges,” Wright said after scoring (ghi điểm) 16 points on 5-of-9 shooting against Blackwater. “I enjoy my back against the wall, because when the pressure is on that’s when you really see who you are as a person and you really see what you’re made of,” added the Fuel Masters’ main gunner.
