Hi all, when referring to the opponent team as a whole in a football/basketball match, should I call them "opponent" or "opponents"? When I look up this word in the dictionary, the word is defined as a person, but I wonder if it can also refer to a team of players. Many thanks! :)
Hello WordReferencers! Can somebody tell me the French equivalent for: 'To carry weight' as in "the two players are supposed to carry equal weight. I can only think of something like 'avoir influence', but I'm sure there's better. Many thanks Nigi.

The players of Real Madrid have won the World Cup. Nikon is going to announce a new camera. Nikon representatives are going to announce a new camera.

When using 受, the sentence structure usually goes like this: " [thing] 受 [group of people] 的 [noun]". If you were to say "this is a very popular book by basketball players" (which would mean that the book is written by basketball players and is popular), you would say "这本篮球运动员写的书很受欢迎” or something like that.
Unable to afford the salaries of superstars, the creative Beane goes looking for players who are young, raw and/or overlooked. One recruiting tirtakes him to the home of Scott Hatteburg, a former catcher whose playing career was seemingly ended by an elbow injury.
I agree with sdgraham. "Lock in" means to secure something. In this situation, the soccer players may have been trying to secure a position on the team and were told to "lock in your spot." But even that doesn't sound natural to me. Another example: A home buyer may want to "lock in" the current interest rate before it goes up again.
