M: who is your favorite NBA star?
J: Kobe Bryant, of course.
M: Kobe? I know him, the key guy of the Lakers, a heck of a NBA player. He is on fire when he breaks through enermy defense.
J: He is competent both in driving the lane and shooting jumpers, but what really makes him formidable is his ability to switch up and dribble with his left hand.
M: Maybe he is not good ay rebounding?
J: indeed, no man can be perfect. He is just so-so in crashing the boards. Usually he plays shooting guard. Rebounding might not be his strong suit.
M: Kobe came to Beijing during this summer's Olymics. Did you go to the match between China and USA?
J: who wouldn't! My friend Lee went so far as to get an autograph from him.
M: well then, what are your spoils?
J: well, nothing more than a jumble of photographs.
你最喜歡NBA里的哪位明星?
當(dāng)然是科比啦.
科比啊,我知道.就是湖人隊(duì)那個(gè)領(lǐng)軍人物,NBA球員中的極品.他突破對手的防守時(shí),樣子酷極了,像一團(tuán)火焰似的.
他不管是上籃還是跳投都很準(zhǔn),里外開花.但是最可怕的是,他能夠換手,用左手運(yùn)球.
也許他不太擅長搶籃板?
是的,金無足赤人無完人嘛.沖搶籃板,他實(shí)力一般.通常他做的是得分后衛(wèi),籃板不是他的強(qiáng)項(xiàng).
今年夏天奧運(yùn)會時(shí),他來了北京.你去看了中國隊(duì)與夢八的比賽沒有?
那肯定去啦!我的朋友,李,還弄到一個(gè)簽名呢.
那你的戰(zhàn)利品呢?
我嘛,也就是一大堆照片.
