Considering phrasing options

I’m brainstorming how to express boosting team morale. For example, "That strike sent the whole squad's spirits soaring," or, using "That play lit a fire under the whole team." It's good to have variety to cover different sports, like basketball or soccer—so I could also say "play" or "shot."

I want to provide a few paraphrases in Chinese and ask if they need translation, polishing, or a commentary. Keeping it concise is key!
