        "is_question": False,
        "text": "'我希望两位球员都能做到！！",
        "candidate1": "",
        "candidate2": "",
        "answer": "",
      },
      {
        "is_question": False,
        "text": "新年给我们送上精彩比赛！",
        "candidate1": "",
        "candidate2": "",
        "answer": "",
      },
      {
        "is_question": True,
        "text": "先达到60分？",
        "candidate1": "火箭",
        "candidate2": "勇士",
        "answer": "勇士",
      },
      {
        "is_question": False,
        "text": "自己急停跳投！！！",
        "candidate1": "",
        "candidate2": "",
        "answer": "",
      }
