My favorite team is Chicago Bulls. It was my favorite team, and my favorite player was
Michael Jordan. He was really good player ever. He was born in February 17, 1963. He
had nicknames and there are Air jordan and His Airness. He was one of the best
defensive player in basketball. He won his first NBA championship with the bulls, and
followed that achievement with titles 1992 and 1993. He got NBA Defensive player of the
year award in 1998. He moved to Washington Wizards in 2001. There was a name
Scottie Pippen. He is always get hurt every game and he was good ball handler. He was
really good passer than others. There was name Joakim Noah. He isn’t the most skilled
shooter and rarely make plays in a set.

already won 34 national titles. The Bayi Rockets dominated the CBA in its earlier
years, winning no less than seven championships in the first eight years of the
CBA, including the first six CBA championships in a row, and the first five of
those without losing a single playoff match. They also had a home-game
unbeaten streak of 65 games that ended in 2002. In recent years, however, other
CBA teams have become more competitive, and Bayi has won only one
championship in the last four seasons (as of the end of the 2004–2005 season).

• Give the definition for the following 11 terms:
Rotation: The locations are your starting positions, meaning that is where you
start before the ball is served. Each player, with the exception of the libero
will rotate to each position on the court, both front row and back row.
Setter: has the task for orchestrating the offense of the team. They aim for second
touch and their main responsibility is to place the ball in the air where the
attackers can place the ball into the opponents' court for a point. They have to be
able to operate with the hitters, manage the tempo of their side of the court and
choose the right attackers to set. Setters need to have swift and skillful appraisal
and tactical accuracy, and must be quick at moving around the court.
Spike: A player approaches the ball using basic four (or three) step
approach to generate high forward speed. A player redirects that
speed into the upward energy by jumping up to the air. Created speed,
arm action of the jump and powerful jump are important factors in
lifting the player up.
Dig: Digging is the ability to prevent the ball from touching one's court after a
spike or attack, particularly a ball that is nearly touching the ground. In many
aspects, this skill is similar to passing, or bumping.
Ace: When the ball lands directly onto the court or travels outside the court after
being touched by an opponent.

14.
Kill: A game played by two teams on a rectangular court divided by a high
net, in which both teams use up to three hits to ground the ball on the
opposing team's side of the net.
Double Hit: A variation of quick hit where two hitters, one in front and one behind
the setter or both in front of the setter, jump to perform a quick hit at the same
time. It can be used to deceive opposite blockers and free a fourth hitter
attacking from backcourt, maybe without block at all.
Liberos: Are defensive players who are responsible for receiving the attack or
serve. They are usually the players on the court with the quickest reaction time
and best passing skills. Libero means 'free' as they have the ability to substitute
for any other player on the court during each play. Liberos wear a different color
jersey than their teammates.
Pass: Also called reception, the pass is the attempt by a team to properly handle the
opponent's serve, or any form of attack. Proper handling includes not only preventing
the ball from touching the court, but also making it reach the position where the setter is
standing quickly and precisely.
Set: The set is usually the second contact that a team makes with the ball. The main
goal of setting is to put the ball in the air in such a way that it can be driven by an attack
into the opponent's court. The setter coordinates the offensive movements of a team,
and is the player who ultimately decides which player will actually attack the ball.
Side out: When the other team has the ball and you get the ball back
