Then, last season, they decided to play together, caring little ______ money and fame. Garnett and Allen ______ Pierce on the Celtics and changed the NBA in the process.

His selflessness showed the young players that doing what made the team better was the only thing that _______. When the Celtics were winning and the game was almost ______, Garnett, Pierce and Allen would come out of the game.

試題分析：當沃爾特‧雷‧阿倫和凱文•加內特加入波士頓凱爾特人后，與原有當家球星全能小前鋒保羅•皮爾斯組成了“三大巨頭”陣容，但是在這里沒有超級巨星，只有無私奉獻，為了共同的夢想，他們團結一致、并肩作戰(zhàn)、體現(xiàn)了真正的團隊精神，終于贏得了NBA總冠軍，在本文中作者講述了他們的這種超強的團隊精神�！�

1.C連接詞辨析。此句為強調句型，被強調的句子he has aged and been through many battles缺少狀語，而由語境可知此處強調時間，所以答案選C。句意：只是當后來他成熟了并且經歷了很多次比賽后他才吸取了一個教訓，那就是：在團隊中沒有“我”這個概念!
