很好的文章 一些地方希望大家看得更流畅一些
It was the summer of 2000, and Duncan, future Hall of Famer for the San Antonio
Spurs, was making a free-agent trip to another city. By all accounts, Duncan
was seriously contemplating theOrlando Magic. He was 24 years old, his eyes
were even bigger than they get when he is called for a questionable foul, and
Orlando was wooing him and Grant Hill to change the face of a franchise.
这边指的不是犯规眼睛睁大的这件事，而是指这趟Orlanda旅行让Duncan大开眼界到眼睛
睁的比他被乱判犯规（i.e. 微笑）还大
Duncan was. He grew up in the U.S. Virgin Islands. His coach, apparently, was
a chemistry teacher. He might never have gotten noticed had an ex-Wake Forest
player not played against him during an NBA rookie tour of the Caribbean and
had that player's coach not been a constant recruiter, always asking, "Did you
see anybody good?"
这里意思是说要不是有一个前Wake Forest的球员在加勒比海的招募之旅跟Duncan打过球，Duncan可能从来不会被注意到。
另外这个球员之所以会参加招募之旅是因为他的教练常常督促他“有没有找到好球员”。
"The recruiting process was not, shall we say, sexy from there," former Wake
Forest coach Dave Odom said.
Sexy是热情没错，不过不是招募不热情，是在回应上一段Duncan拜访其中两所学校刚好都
在下雪，所以Duncan默默的对它们学校的热情就下降了
（注：下次绝对不要在下雪的时候邀请出身自加勒比海的球员来参观）
"Your perception is that if you go after your superstar like that in front of
everybody, you think there's going to be a strained relationship between the
coach and the best player. And it was far from it. With the rest of the guys
watching Pop coach the way he did, they knew that, Hey, if you're the
third-best player or the seventh-best player, you'd better be able to take it
because the No. 1 player on the team did, and he took it like a pro."
Took it like a pro的意思是以职业(成熟)的心态来面对
