I Came, I Saw, I Conquered!

Chapter 1: I Came, I Saw, I Conquered! Chapter 6: Might as Well Go to Davidson.

北卡罗来纳州,夏洛特.

"Did VT reject me too?" He picked up a large glass of water on the table, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp. With his head down, he slowly walked upstairs. Even Virginia Tech, the one he was most confident about, refused to offer Curry a full scholarship. Did he really have to let his son join those mediocre teams? In his opinion, it should have been a natural progression for Curry to get a full scholarship and join the Hokies. But if Seth Greenberg wanted Stephen to be a redshirt freshman for a year, he might as well let his son join those mediocre teams.

咔嗒!

这里是北卡罗来纳州最大的城市,美国第二大银行业中心,气候温和湿润,四季分明,号称"女王之城".

库里不知道答案.

咔嗒!

Curry didn't know the answer.

他就是戴尔库里的儿子,斯蒂芬库里.

Seth Greenberg put down his phone and shrugged. He couldn't see any potential in the baby-faced kid other than his accurate shooting.

"Stephen is my son, and I believe he has the ability to earn a full scholarship from VT (Virginia Tech)," Dell said, barely suppressing his rising anger, emphasizing each word.

"I'm sorry, I can only offer a scholarship for academics, and Stephen is indeed too thin. He must undergo systematic training in his first year before he can play. If you can accept this, I'd be very happy to have Stephen join the Hokies," Seth Greenberg said.

在夏洛特东南部,距离夏洛特基督徒学校约有20分钟车程的斯通海文社区,是夏洛特中产阶级和富人的聚居地,治安良好,环境优美,是闻名整个夏洛特的高档社区,地产商的宣传语是"走在这里的街道上都会让人心情宁静".

做出如此激烈的的反应,对于平时性格温和的戴尔来说是非常罕见的.

咔嗒!

但其中一栋房子的主人戴尔库里心情却很不好.

Basketball was his beloved dream. He had been with basketball since birth and was willing to give everything for it. But now, his dream seemed to be dying halfway. Even Coach K didn't think he could play in the NCAA. Could he really make it to the NBA in the future?

气氛一时间有些沉重.

"塞斯,你说你不能为斯蒂芬提供全额奖学金?"他举着手机,难以置信地反问.

How many times had he been rejected? North Carolina, Duke, Wake Forest, Virginia Tech...

做出如此激烈的的反应,对于平时性格温和的戴尔来说是非常罕见的.

"霍奇队只愿意给你一份学习奖学金,而且你必须做一年红衫球员,被我拒绝了."

He could certainly afford his son's university tuition, but a full scholarship was more than just financial aid; it represented the player's standing on the team. Only core team members received full scholarships. Curry aspired to the NBA, and a full scholarship could guarantee his playing time and team status, which was crucial for his future development.

北卡罗来纳州,夏洛特.

Back then, Dell Curry led the Hokies to the NCAA Tournament twice. He was a member of the Virginia Tech Hall of Fame and had donated to the school multiple times. His wife, Sonya Curry, was once the star player of the Virginia Tech volleyball team, helping establish a comprehensive youth program for the school's volleyball team.

Basketball was his beloved dream. He had been with basketball since birth and was willing to give everything for it. But now, his dream seemed to be dying halfway. Even Coach K didn't think he could play in the NCAA. Could he really make it to the NBA in the future?

"Dell, you know we already have Nigel Johnson on the team, and I've just recruited talented high school students like Zabian Dowdell and Hammong Gordon. There aren't many guard positions left. If Stephen wants to play for the Hokies, he can only get an academic scholarship and must be a redshirt for a year. But I believe he'll have ample playing opportunities next year," Seth Greenberg, head coach of the Virginia Tech Hokies, explained calmly over the phone.

He couldn't help but recall the summer after his freshman year. Under his father's guidance, Curry spent two full months changing his shooting form. It was the most painful and unforgettable summer of his life.

The spark in Curry's eyes vanished. He bent down to pick up the basketball, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his already soaked collar, and forced a smile.

A redshirt is an athlete who postpones or suspends participation in NCAA competitions to extend their eligibility. Many freshmen find it difficult to compete against older or star players on the team and choose to become redshirts, focusing on training for a year before competing for playing time in their sophomore year.

Seth Greenberg put down his phone and shrugged. He couldn't see any potential in the baby-faced kid other than his accurate shooting.

桑娅和戴尔面面相觑,不知道该怎么开口.

As Sonya was speaking, the door opened, and a boy with a tender, baby face and a tall, slender build walked in. His large eyes made him look very delicate, and his pure, clear blue eyes gave him a peculiar sense of resilience. He held a basketball in his hand, wearing a sweat-soaked jersey, and was breathing heavily.

He was Dell Curry's son, Stephen Curry.

做出如此激烈的的反应,对于平时性格温和的戴尔来说是非常罕见的.

In his opinion, it should have been a natural progression for Curry to get a full scholarship and join the Hokies. But if Seth Greenberg wanted Stephen to be a redshirt freshman for a year, he might as well let his son join those mediocre teams.

Dell Curry was indeed a prominent figure of the Hokies, but the era when he led the Hokies in the NCAA was too long ago. The Hokies were no longer the same Hokies, and the prestige of a prominent figure wasn't as effective.

"Stephen is my son, and I believe he has the ability to earn a full scholarship from VT (Virginia Tech)," Dell said, barely suppressing his rising anger, emphasizing each word.

Maybe I really am too thin. Those coaches probably rejected me because they were worried I'd get knocked over on the court.

桑娅和戴尔面面相觑,不知道该怎么开口.

桑娅说话的时候,房门被推开,一个长着稚嫩的娃娃脸,身材瘦高的男孩走了进来,一双大眼睛让他显得非常清秀,纯净透彻的蓝色眼眸给人一种奇异的坚韧感觉,他手里拿着一颗篮球,穿着一套被汗水浸透的球衣,喘着粗气.

桑娅说道:

The spark in Curry's eyes vanished. He bent down to pick up the basketball, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his already soaked collar, and forced a smile.

He never thought Virginia Tech would reject his request.

Sonya and Dell sat on the sofa, looking at each other, seeing only bewilderment in each other's eyes.

"I'm sorry, I can only offer a scholarship for academics, and Stephen is indeed too thin. He must undergo systematic training in his first year before he can play. If you can accept this, I'd be very happy to have Stephen join the Hokies," Seth Greenberg said.

做出如此激烈的的反应,对于平时性格温和的戴尔来说是非常罕见的.

也许我真的太瘦了,那些教练可能担心我在球场上被撞飞了,才拒绝的吧.

Dell Curry slammed his phone onto the sofa. The phone hit the leather cushion and bounced high, landing on the floor without a scratch. It truly lived up to its Nokia reputation.

"Dell, you know we already have Nigel Johnson on the team, and I've just recruited talented high school students like Zabian Dowdell and Hammong Gordon. There aren't many guard positions left. If Stephen wants to play for the Hokies, he can only get an academic scholarship and must be a redshirt for a year. But I believe he'll have ample playing opportunities next year," Seth Greenberg, head coach of the Virginia Tech Hokies, explained calmly over the phone.

Curry dragged his tired legs back to his room, took off his jersey, and threw it on the floor. He took a shower in the bathroom, casually dried himself off, and lay on his back on the bed, covering his head with a towel.

Davidson College, Virginia Commonwealth University, High Point University, and William & Mary College had all expressed interest in Stephen. How could he let his son waste a year on the bench?

"I'm not hungry. You guys eat first, Mom."

气氛一时间有些沉重.

In his opinion, it should have been a natural progression for Curry to get a full scholarship and join the Hokies. But if Seth Greenberg wanted Stephen to be a redshirt freshman for a year, he might as well let his son join those mediocre teams.

Might as well go to Davidson. Coach McColloch said I was too thin, but at least he's willing to give me a chance to play.

Maybe I really am too thin. Those coaches probably rejected me because they were worried I'd get knocked over on the court.

这里是北卡罗来纳州最大的城市,美国第二大银行业中心,气候温和湿润,四季分明,号称"女王之城".

Curry's mind was filled with chaotic thoughts. Being rejected by prestigious schools repeatedly made even his resilient self begin to doubt himself.

"It's okay. If VT doesn't want to give Stephen a full scholarship, we'll find other schools. There's also UCLA, Michigan State..."

"I'm fine, Mom. I'll practice hard, and there are still schools like Davidson College and Virginia Commonwealth University to choose from."

Sonya, who was cooking, heard the phone drop. She came out of the kitchen, saw Dell slumped on the sofa, and asked:

Davidson College, Virginia Commonwealth University, High Point University, and William & Mary College had all expressed interest in Stephen. How could he let his son waste a year on the bench?

"They're talking nonsense! Those people can't see Stephen's fighting spirit or his perseverance! Stephen was the best performer in all the tryouts. His shooting is the most accurate, and his dribbling is the best. But those people stubbornly believe Stephen is too thin and will fall apart with one bump. But we all know that's not true. Stephen is a tough guy!" Sonya's emotions were running high, and her voice grew louder.

"Seth, you're saying you can't offer Stephen a full scholarship?" he asked incredulously, holding his phone.

"Dell, don't get agitated. I also think highly of Stephen, but he came for a tryout a bit late. We've already completed our recruitment of Zabian and Hammong, and we only have one full scholarship left to strengthen the center position. We really can't offer it to Stephen," Seth Greenberg said unhurriedly.

"砰砰砰!"

He was Dell Curry's son, Stephen Curry.

Moreover, Seth Greenberg was only mildly interested in Curry. He didn't believe such a thin player could establish himself in the NCAA. Even if the recruitment failed, the Hokies wouldn't lose much.

"Seth Greenberg just told me that he's only willing to offer Stephen an academic scholarship and requires Stephen to be a redshirt for a year," Dell said.
