However, he didn’t get a chance to play then although everyone knew he had real skills, and was someone who worked really hard and had a strong desire to play for the team. During the game between The Lions and The Bears, one player in Paul’s team got hurt and couldn’t play anymore. Someone suggested Paul to play. His coach first doubted but finally agreed because Paul said that I won’t let you down. Paul made shot after shot and finally his team won the game by two points.
