1.A far cry from the bright lights and shiny courts of the National Basketball Association (NBA), it was along this road that Stephen’s grandfather built a simple basket by attaching a piece of plastic to a telephone pole.
2.He probably didn't realise it at the time, but it was where he learnt to be creative and flexible as a player.
3.Only shots perfectly aimed at its centre went into the heavy, thick basket. In this way, practising day in and day out helped Stephen sharpen his skills.
4. Despite his father’s successful career, Stephen was thought by many people, including his high school teammates and coaches, to be too short, too thin and too weak to follow in his father’s footsteps.
5.Inspiring others to believe in themselves, Stephen Curry is living proof that what other people think of you does not have to influence what you become.
这与美国男子职业篮球联赛(NBA)赛场上明亮的灯光和闪亮的球场相去甚远。正是在这条路上,史蒂芬的祖父把一块塑料固定到电线杆上,建了一个简易篮筐。
尽管当时他可能并没有意识到,但就是在这里,他学会了如何成为一名有创造力、能够灵活变通的的篮球运动员。
只有完美地瞄准中心,篮球才能进入厚重的篮筐。
尽管父亲的职业生涯很成功,但是很多人,包括史蒂芬的高中队友和教练,都认为他太矮、太瘦弱,无法延续他父亲的荣耀。
