A
The seventh game of any play-off is always special, win or lose, it always has an edge-of-your-seat, heart-in-your-throat intensity unlike any other. One play, one shot, one save may make all the difference.
But there are other things that make our games and sports so special.
For example, where we play our sports is often one of the best things about the games.Thinks of it:What is as pergect as a fresh sheet of ice after the Zamboni machine (赞博尼磨冰机) has made its final pass and left the surface as smooth as glass? Or a swimming pool on a summer morning, clear and calm, before the ferst swimmer has broken the water?
To me a freshly mowed and lined soccer field is as beautiful as any painting. SO is a golf course in the early morning, or in the evening when the sun is setting.
The stuff we paly with is wonderfull, too. Is there anything that feels as good in your hand as a brand-new baseball? Or a nice leather football? Grab hold of either, and you just habe to play a game of catch.
The clothes are good too. Sports uniforms are much more colorful and comfortable than regular clothes .
