Eight years ago, Durant trained with the Olympic team. But he was cut. “I wanted to be a part of it badly,” Durant said. “I prayed every night that they would pick me.” But he could only watch from the sofa as the American team competed in Beijing. In hurt, but Durant didnt let it beat him. “I saw it as another step along the roadthat just added more fuel（燃料）to the fire.” His road to the top of the game has been hard work from the start.
