Rrew Beutel：I love all of it.and one of my favorites though is going fast. I love to have speed.I'm very competitive.It means a ton to me. I love playing.I love making friends on the court will have a blast.

德鲁：我喜欢关于轮椅篮球的一切。我特别喜欢快速滑轮椅，我享受在球场上飞奔的感觉。我很要强， 这非常有意义，我喜欢打球，在球场上我和朋友们玩得很开心。

Jonathan Paris: It's really important to me because I get come here every weekend and some people don't. Get to come here every weekend.

乔纳森·帕里斯：这对我来说意义重大。许多人不会每周都来，但我从不缺席。

Reporter:Their ability to compete in a sport means a lot to their dads.

记者：他们能够参加体育竞赛对他们爸爸来说很有意义。

Rrew's dad:Rrew At 15 months old receipt got transverse missile, which is inflammation of the spinal cord. He realizes now that just because he has a disability from his waist down, it's not gonna hold him back. He can play competitive sports. Any of them, just like anybody else can.He just needs his existed tools, just like football needs a helmet and shoulder pads and baseball needs a bat. Wheelchair is his assisted device that he needs play this for.

德鲁的爸爸：德鲁十五个月大的时候得了横贯性脊髓炎，这是一种骨髓炎症。现在他意识到腰部以下有残障并不能阻止他前进，他可以参加体育竞技，他们和其他人没什么不同。只不过他们需要使用一些工具，这就像踢足球时需要戴头盔和护肩，打棒球时需要用到球棒一样。在打轮椅篮球时，轮椅就是他的用具。

Jonathan's dad:We found out before he was born, he was going to have a disability.He has to find a bit for the doctors they always tell you the worst. They're gonna say he might not be able to walk and this and that. it's a parent that's hard to hear.So it's just good to see him out here and just being one of the kids.

乔纳森的爸爸：在他出生前，我们就知道他会带着残障来到这个世界上，医生的职责所在，他们总会把最糟糕的情况告诉你。医生说他可能没法走路，还有这样那样的问题。这让做父母的很难接受。因此，看到他能和其他孩子打成一片，我们非常开心。

Reporter:What some people don't realize about wheelchair basketball is that some of the athletes like both drew and Jonathan actually walk on their own, but simply don't have enough mobility to run up and down the court. So they use the wheelchairs to play competitive basketball.

记者：提起轮椅篮球，很多人不知道包括德鲁和乔纳森在内的很多运动员都是具备行走能力的，不过他们不太能在场上跑来跑去，所以选择使用轮椅打篮球。

Rrew Beutel：It's really weird when I compare it. When I'm out and into my chair, it's a whole different perspective. I like being in the wheelchair because I can go fast, unlike I can out of my wheelchair.

德鲁:这真的非常有趣，当我坐上轮椅后，我感受到的是一个完全不同的视角。我喜欢使用轮椅，因为那样我可以飞奔，这和我不坐轮椅时完全不同。

Rrew's dad:I am one proud father absolutely. To watch him from where he was at 5 years old and not necessarily knowing what was in his future. In basketball, not necessarily knowing what offense and defense was. So you would kind of go out into the court and go back and forth to now be a leader on the team.

德鲁的爸爸：作为他的父亲，我很自豪。看着他从五岁开始打篮球，那时还不知道他的未来会怎样，他还不懂篮球的进攻和防守技巧，只能在球场上跑来跑去，到现在，他成为了领队。

Reporter:Veronica Urban coaches both boys and was a wheelchair basketball player and then decided to teach others the game she loves.

记者：维罗妮卡·乌尔班是这两个男孩的教练，她自己也曾是轮椅篮球运动员，后来她决定把自己热爱的轮椅篮球教给更多人.

Veronica Urban :It's just like stand up basketball, except you use a lot more upper body strength and you acquire a lot more chair skills in place of where you are normally using foot. I would like people to realize that this is a sport, and it requires a lot of commitment as any other sport would.It's all about building your fundamental skills and your teamwork. A lot of kids come to the sport, not just for the physical activity, but so that they can get that camaraderie and get that teamwork.

维罗妮卡·乌尔班：轮椅篮球其实也并不特殊，只是站着打篮球时主要运用腿部的力量，而坐着打篮球更多地要用上半身的力量,还需要有技巧地操控轮椅。我想让人们知道轮椅篮球和其他运动一样需要尽情投入。这需要提升一些基本技能，还要有团队合作意识。对许多孩子来说，这不只是参与了体育锻炼，更重要的是，在这个过程中他们能学会团队合作，收获友谊。

Reporter:According to the National Wheelchair Basketball Association, there are about 2,700 athletes involved in the sport, starting with the youth groups onto college and then, the adult divisions. The sport is also part of the Paralympics. For Coach Urban, wheelchair basketball has become a life sport, and it's something that she hopes to pass on to her athletes.

记者：美国轮椅篮球协会统计的数据显示：目前约2700名运动员参与了这项运动，其中包括青年组、大学生组和成年组。这也是残奥会的项目之一。对乌尔班教练来说，轮椅篮球成为了伴随她终身的运动，她希望把这项运动传承下去。

Reporter:So how long do you think you want to play this sport?

记者：你打轮椅篮球想打到什么时候？

Jonathan Paris: Probably for...It was my life.

乔纳森·帕里斯：这大概是我生活中的一部分。

Reporter:Jonathan and Drew play for the Synergy Junior Bulls, which is part of synergy adaptive athletics. The team practices every Saturday and tournament play kicks off in December. It's at these tournaments where the teammates bond together.

记者：乔纳森和德鲁是协同少年公牛队的队员。这个球队是协同适应性体育运动的一支队伍，他们每周六训练。每年12月锦标赛开赛，这些比赛让团队更有凝聚力了。

Jonathan's dad:The friendships they form and the fun they have off the court on tournaments. They'll be between games and tournament, and they can't stop talking about what they want to do at night when they get back to the hotel. What movies are going to watch. What they're going to play is a game or go swimming in the pool or whatever. And that's the thing they look forward to mostly. I know Jonathan does.

乔纳森的爸爸：他们收获了友谊，在球场之外，他们也能享受到很多乐趣。在比赛间隙，他们还说着晚上想一起做些什么。当他们回到酒店时，他们商量着要去看电影、打游戏，去泳池游泳等等。这是大家期待的团队活动，大多数人都是这样，乔纳森乐在其中。
