[1]it was along this road that Stephen's grandfather built a simple basket.是it was...that...强调句型,强调了地点状语 along this road。
Like his father,basketball star Dell Curry [2],Stephen spent many childhood hours playing⑥on this muddy⑦ basketball court.He probably didn't realise it at the time, but it was where he learnt to be creative and flexible⑧as a player. [3]You see, with every shot⑨,the weak plastic backboard⑩gave way⑪.The bumps⑫ and rocks that lined the road under the basket [4]caused the ball to bounce⑬ in all directions.Knowing where the ball would go wasn't easy ⑭.[5]He had to adjust⑮ his own playing style as a result.Shooting with great accuracy⑯ was another thing he learnt. [6] Only shots perfectly aimed at⑰ its centre [7]went into the heavy,thick basket.In this way,practising day in and day out⑱ helped Stephen sharpen⑲ his skills.
[2] basketball star Dell Curry 作 his father 的同位语。
[3] He probably didn't realise...,but it was where he learnt to be,but 连接并列句,where 引导表语从句。
[4]that lined the road under the basket是 that引导的定语从句,修饰 the bumps and rocks。
[5]Knowing where the ball would go wasn't easy,where 引导宾语从句动名词短语作主语。
[6]Shooting with great accuracy was another thing 为动名词短语作主语;he learnt为省略了引导词that/which的定语从句。
[7]过去分词短语 perfectly aimed at its centre作后置定语修饰 shots。
Despite his father's successful career, Stephen was thought by many people, including his high teammates⑳ and coaches, to be too short,too thin and too weak to follow in his father's footsteps .[8] But Stephen carried on.Playing basketball was his dream.He would not give up.He finally ended up playing college ball at a small,littleknown school,Davidson College,not too from where he lived.His creativity and perseverance made him Davidson's star player. [9]
与父亲戴尔·库里这位篮球明星一样,斯蒂芬的许多童年时光都是在这个土篮球场上度过的。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、能够灵活变通的篮球运动员。你瞧,每次投篮,不牢固的塑料篮板都摇摇欲坠。篮筐下的小路凹凸不平,布满了石块,篮球也因此弹向四面八方。能够判断出球反弹的方向并不容易。因此斯蒂芬必须调整自己的打球方式。他在这里学到的另一项技能是精准的投篮技术。只有完美地瞄准中心,篮球才能进入厚重的篮筐。如此日复一日地练习,斯蒂芬的篮球技术变得炉火纯青。
尽管父亲的职业生涯很成功,但是斯蒂芬的高中队友和教练等很多人都认为他太矮太瘦弱,无法延续他父亲的荣耀。但斯蒂芬继续坚持打球。打篮球是他的梦想,他绝不会放弃。终于,斯蒂芬在规模不大且鲜为人知的戴维森学院成了一名大学篮球赛的球员,这所学院离他家不算远。斯蒂芬凭借自己的创造性和毅力成了戴维森学院的明星球员。

After receiving the Most Valuable Player award or two years in a row, Stephen explained his philosophy,I never really set out to change the game...What I wanted to do [11] was just be myself.I know it inspires a lot of the next generation,a lot of people who love the game of basketball to value the skill of it, value the fact that you can work every single day to get better. [12]You've got to be able to put in the time and the work.That's how I got here. [13]That's how I continue to get better every single day. [13]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.

在连续两年获得“最有价值球员”奖后,斯蒂芬阐释了他的人生观:我从未真正想过改变我只想做自我。我知道这激励着很多后辈、很多热爱篮球比赛的人,让他们认识到技术的重要性,认识到你可以通过每天的不断努力而变得更好。你必须肯花时间和精力。这是我走到今天的方法,也是我每天都能更进一步的原因。斯蒂芬·库里激励着所有人去相信自己,他也生动地证明了别人对你的看法并不一定会影响你成为什么人。通过自信、勤奋、毅力,以及一只旧篮筐的帮助,他向人们证明了一切皆有可能。
