professional basketball player

閱讀 : 次

　　Kobe Bryant first started turning heads on the basketball court when he was in middle school. His talents dominated the game so much that high schools from all over the Philadelphia area watched him grow up. The almost six-foot tall seventh grader definitely had the make-up and genes for the game, as his dad was former NBA forward, Joe Bryant. Kobe developed his basketball skills under the watchful eye of his father, helping his mission to become a professional basketball player. He worked daily on his game, watching video, playing in the playgrounds and listening to his father.

　　grader:小學(xué)生；小科比中學(xué)時(shí)進(jìn)入籃球場(chǎng)，七年級(jí)就長(zhǎng)成了六英尺的大個(gè)子，在籃球場(chǎng)上呼風(fēng)喚雨。

　　watchful:關(guān)注的，注意的；科比的爸爸曾經(jīng)在NBA征戰(zhàn)數(shù)年，他非常希望兒子也像自己一樣進(jìn)入NBA.

　　When he entered high school at Lower Marion in Philadelphia, Kobe was a highly touted recruit. He proved that he had the skills and work ethic to be a star at the next level and the scouts noticed this. Kobe didn't let anybody down either, as he played on the varsity basketball team his freshman year. He wouldn't immediately be a superstar, though. Rather it was the countless hours of early morning workouts by himself in the gymnasium that escalated Kobe's talents.

　　scout:球探；科比剛剛進(jìn)入高中就被NBA的球探看中。

　　varsity:學(xué)校代表隊(duì)。

　　workout:測(cè)試，測(cè)驗(yàn)。

　　gymnasium:健身房；科比每天早晨都在健身房里度過(guò)，練就了一附好體魄，為將來(lái)在NBA征戰(zhàn)打下了良好的基礎(chǔ)。

　　Kobe became a better player every year he played at Lower Marion and soon enough, he had developed into one of the premier talents at the high school level. He sold out the games everywhere he played during his junior and senior years and he didn't disappoint anyone. He once packed the school gym so much that it caused a traffic jam on the main highway just outside the school.

　　gym:體育館；科比憑借驚人的球技征服了所有觀眾，只要有他的比賽，學(xué)校的體育館都座無(wú)虛席。

　　highway:高速公路；每逢科比的比賽，觀眾都要蜂擁而來(lái)，有一次把校外的高速公路都堵塞了。

　　He went on to finish his high school career as the all-time leading point scorer in Pennsylvania history with a total of 2, 883 points. Kobe's highly decorated high school career made him the 13th overall choice by the Charlotte Hornets in the 1996 NBA draft.

　　all-time:空前的，創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄的；科比以驚人的2883分創(chuàng)造了賓州高校的得分紀(jì)錄。

　　decorated:充滿榮譽(yù)的。

　　NBA draft:NBA選秀；1996年，科比在第13位被夏洛特黃蜂隊(duì)挑中，從高中直接進(jìn)入了NBA.
