原文:
As a chubby teenager with asthma, James Harden knew his NBA dream was a "long

做為一個患有氣喘的胖呼呼青年, James Harden 知道自己的NBA夢想還很遙遠.
但是這位未來的超級明星強迫自己去學校前早起去練習投籃和舉重(練重量).
That work eventually earned Harden a scholarship to Arizona State, where he
played for two years before being drafted third overall in 2009 by the
Oklahoma City Thunder.
這些努力最終讓 Harden獲得亞歷桑那州大的獎學金,
在他2009年被Oklahoma 雷霆以第三順位選中之前,他在那打了兩年的球
More than five years later, Harden is living out his fantasy, now as the
starting shooting guard for the Houston Rockets with an Olympic gold medal to
his name.
在這之後的五年, Harden實現了他的夢想, 而現在他是休士頓火箭的先發得分後衛,
