Man: What a match!

Woman: And this little guy is just amazing! I always thought basketball players had to be tall.

Man: Carlos Gueras certainly is an exception. In a way it's funny actually - the way he outplays his opponents simply by staying low to the ground.

Woman: Yeah! It's like he's out of reach just because everybody else is so tall.

Man: But it's not just him; the whole team is playing like they're in the zone.

Woman: I don't think I've seen anything like it, but I just love the crowd today. Everybody is so excited and supportive. And Yes! Here goes another wave!

Man: I wish they would stop doing that. I want to follow what's going on on the court.

Woman: Don't be a spoilsport!

Man: No! How could he miss that basket?

Woman: That was a close one!

Man: Foul?! How can that have been a foul? That referee is biased.

Woman: Come on! Don't get all worked up! They're 80 points ahead of the others.
