"Did you see that?" Joe said to his friend Bill. "You're a great shooter!"

Bill caught the basketball and bounced it before throwing it again. The ball flew into the net.

"Bill, you never miss!" Joe said admiringly.

"Unless I'm in a real game," Bill complained. "Then I miss all the time."

Joe knew that Bill was right. Bill performed much better when he was having fun with Joe in the school yard than he did when he was playing for the school team in front of a large crowd.

"Maybe you just need to practice more," Joe suggested.

"But I practice all the time with you!" Bill objected. He shook his head. "I just can't play well when people are watching me."

"You play well when I'm watching," Joe pointed out.

"That's because I've known you since we were five years old," Bill said with a smile. "I'm just not comfortable playing when other people are around."

Joe nodded and understood, but he also had an idea.

The next day Joe and Bill met in the school yard again to practice. After a few minutes, Joe excused himself.

"Practice without me," Joe said to his friend. "I'll be back in a minute."

Joe hurried through the school building, gathering together whomever he could find - two students, a math teacher, two secretaries, and a janitor. When Joe explained why he needed them, everyone was happy to help.

Joe reminded the group to stay quiet as they all went toward the school's basketball court. As Joe had hoped, Bill was still practicing basketball. He made five baskets in a row without noticing the silent people standing behind him.

"Hey, Bill!" Joe called out finally.

Bill turned. A look of surprise came over his face.

I just wanted to show you that you could play well with people watching you," Joe said. "Now you'll have nothing to worry about for the next game!"

Dịch bài đọc:

“Cậu thấy chưa?” Joe nói với bạn anh ta Bill. “Cậu là một cầu thủ giỏi!”

Bill bắt lấy quả bóng rổ và nẩy bóng trước khi tiếp tục ném nó. Quả bóng bay thẳng vào lưới.

“Bill, cậu không bao giờ ném trượt!” Joe nói một cách ngưỡng mộ.

“Trừ khi tớ ở trong một trận đấu thật.” Bill phàn nàn. “Lúc đấy tớ sẽ ném trượt suốt”.

Joe biết rằng Bill nói đúng. Bill thể hiện tốt hơn nhiều khi anh ta chơi đùa với Joe trong sân trường hơn là chơi trong đội của trường trước một đám đông lớn.

“Có thể cậu cần luyện nhiều hơn”. Joe gợi ý.

“Nhưng tớ đã tập luyện suốt với cậu!” Bill cãi. Cậu ta lắc đầu. “Tớ chỉ không chơi tốt khi có người theo dõi tớ thôi”.

“Cậu chơi rất tốt khi tớ theo dõi mà” Joe chỉ rõ.

“Đó là vì tớ đã quen cậu từ khi chúng ta 5 tuổi,” Bill vừa nói vừa cười. “Tớ chỉ không cảm thấy thoải mái khi chơi mà có nhiều người xung quanh thôi”.

Joe gật đầu và hiểu ra, đồng thời cậu ấy cũng nảy ra một ý tưởng.

Ngày tiếp theo Joe và Bill gặp lại ở sân trường để tập luyện. Sau vài phút, Joe thoái thác.

“Cứ tập luyện mà không có tớ đi,” Joe bảo với bạn của mình. “ Tớ sẽ quay lại trong vài phút nữa”/

Joe băng nhanh qua tòa nhà trường học, tập trung tất cả những người mà cậu ta có thể tìm được – 2 học sinh, một giáo viên toán, một người gác cổng. Khi Joe giải thích vì sao anh ta cần bọn họ, mọi người đều vui vẻ giúp đỡ.

Joe nhắc nhở nhóm người trật tự khi họ đi vào sân bóng rổ. Như Joe kì vọng, Bill vẫn đang luyện bóng. Cậu ta ném trúng 5 quả liền một lúc mà không hề để ý tới đám người yên lặng đằng sau.

“Này Bill,” Cuối cùng thì Joe cũng gọi.

Bill quay lại. Một cái nhìn đầy ngạc nhiên xuất hiện trên khuôn mặt cậu ta.

“Tớ chỉ muốn cho cậu thấy rằng cậu có thể chơi tốt kể cả khi có người đang theo dõi,” Joe nói. “ Bây giờ cậu sẽ không có gì để lo cho trận đấu tiếp theo cả!”
