Chapter 167: Barrett's Past

Following the direction from which the sound came, there were two people in the stadium who were training in full swing.

Judging by the level of sweating, it should have been training for a while.

Looking closely, one of them was wearing a light gray quick-drying training suit from the Bull "9".

"Barrett!" Mu Chenfeng suddenly became energetic, as one of the imaginary enemies, Barrett was the only player Mu Chenfeng wanted to fight in this experience.

Barrett is 2.03 tall and plays at the small forward position on the court, but because he was short when he was a child, he has developed a very good guard skills, which makes him feel like a fish in water at the small forward position after entering the NBA.

Barrett doesn't look very strong, but that doesn't mean he's weak, it's his excellent lower body strength and good coordination that allows him to pull off so many difficult dunks.

However, he's not a dunker and has a 40 percent shooting percentage from beyond the three-point line, and the only thing fans have criticized is some of his shooting options and his ability to assist teammates, and if traded in these areas, he will lead the Bulls even further.

The NBA has never lacked offensive talent, and offensive talent is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, even so Barrett's talent belongs to the top.

"Here they are." Fellow trainers said to Barrett.

Barrett said coldly, "Ignore them, the training isn't over yet." ”

Barrett is always very focused in training, and that's why he can play unbeatable on the field.

Barrett hit another free throw.

It was his 102nd goal in a row.

“103......”

“104......”

“105......”

Barrett's consecutive hits are still rising, far exceeding Mu Chenfeng's 101 goals.

"Almost, it's over."

"That kid hit 101 goals and I'm going to score 50 more than him." Barrett's goal is 151, and he's like a well-calculated machine, with every shot being unbiased and hollow.

“149...150...151!”

When he hit his 151st free throw, Barrett stopped, and everyone standing in the doorway was already stunned.

"This is the NBA, it's so stable."

"I'm afraid it's more than that, I always feel like he stopped on purpose, and he could have hit more."

"It's nothing, it's the most basic skill to get a foothold in the NBA, not to mention a star like Barrett, even our family Rum can easily do it." Robinson said with a smile, a group of frogs at the bottom of the well, I really haven't seen the world of the really strong.

After shooting practice, Barrett will practice dunking.

In the case of high-intensity switchback running, catch the ball and complete the dunk, respectively, two dunks on both sides of the bottom line, two dunks on the left and right 45 degrees, every two cycles as a group, to complete 5 sets within five minutes, an average of about 8 seconds to complete a dunk, under the ultra-high-intensity stimulation to improve physical function.

Barrett didn't care about the extra bystanders around him at all, the first group completed the action was just an ordinary dunk, the second group became a reverse dunk, the difficulty increased the third group of two-handed back dunks, the fourth group turned 360, and the fifth group changed hands under the crotch!

After 40 dunks, he didn't breathe, and his complexion did not change.

With that kind of intensity of dunk training, ordinary people may not even be able to complete one group.

At the end of the training assignment, Barrett walked over to greet George.

"Coach." Barrett and George are very familiar with each other, as a player cultivated by George, Barrett's ability to achieve such results is inseparable from George's training, he is Barrett's Bole.

Barrett, who was in junior high school, was rejected by almost all basketball elite schools because of his thin stature, and Barrett, who lost the opportunity to play, could only show his talent on the field court.

A man with a height of only 1.70 is an eye-catcher in itself, not to mention the fact that this little man has excellent skills.

This scene reminded George of the shortest little man in the NBA, Allen. Iverson.

George was working as a varsity coach at a local junior high school, and with his help Barrett was able to get into the school and get the opportunity to continue playing.

However, due to his poor academic performance, Barrett did not have a chance to appear in the first semester, and he barely got the opportunity to appear in the following season, which also completely unleashed Barrett's offensive talent, and it only took one season for him to break the school's all-time scoring record, and even doubled the single-game scoring record.

The display of basketball talent in junior high school did not help Barrett become the center of attention, on the contrary, his height did not increase for two consecutive years became a stumbling block in his basketball career, and many elite schools rejected Barrett on the grounds that he was too short.

On his final night at high school, George received a call from the coach of Richard High School, who asked Barrett if he would like to play at their school.

George made the decision on Barrett's behalf without even thinking about it, and the answer was yes, "Yes, he would do." ”

The next day, George took the invitation letter from Richard High School and handed it to Barrett, but Barrett's performance was not very excited, only worry and hesitation.

George knew why Barrett hesitated, Richard High School was far away from Barrett's house, spanning three states, and Richard Middle School didn't have outstanding basketball, and the only basketball superstar the team played was Dwyan. Wade, Miami's forever No. 3.

George told him that this was the only chance he could continue playing, and promised that he would do everything in his power to get him into the NBA if he agreed.

Tangled, Barrett chose to compromise and went to Richard High School alone to continue his basketball dream.

But Richard Middle School wanted Barrett not because of how good he was, but because the team really had no other choice, watching the talented players in his picture being snatched away by other teams one after another, Richard Middle School could only pick up leftover fish, and Barrett was one of the leftover fish.

And they weren't going to reuse Barrett, but put him at the very end of the bench.

However, the dream will one day become a reality.

In the first year of high school, Barrett suddenly opened up, his height soared by 15 centimeters, and he slowly transformed into the absolute core of the team with his superb ball skills, and helped the team defeat the strongest high school team at the time, Lyken High School, and Barrett's name has been famous in the United States since then.

The sophomore team went one step further and reached the round of 16 in the high school league, setting the best record in Richard's high school history, and Barrett averaged 20.2 points and 8.5 rebounds per game, successfully entering the scouting field.

In his junior year of high school, Barrett missed the team's first 10 games due to injury, and the team achieved a record of 1 win and 9 losses, and Barrett's role was most vividly displayed.

After 10 games of recuperation, Barrett returned as king and led the team to a strong counterattack, averaging 30.2 points per game to lead the team to 15 consecutive wins, pulling the team back from the pit of the penultimate and reaching the round of 16 again, but the old injury in the top 8 recurred, and Barrett's departure made the team's morale plummet, and they were eliminated without suspense.

That same year, Barrett announced that he would skip college directly and bring his talent to the NBA.

As a high school rookie, Barrett's future is not optimistic, especially his glass attributes, which discourage many teams.

In order to conquer the NBA, Barrett gained 30 pounds in one offseason to help Barrett complete the "full armament".

Barrett's reputation has also risen with his change, and he has become a popular candidate for the top prize.

The development of things changed half an hour before the draft.

The Bulls have always wanted to get Barrett, but they only have the No. 3 pick in their hands, and Barrett will definitely be drafted in the first two, so the first top-three draft pick trade in NBA history quietly happened, and the Bulls sent seven players to the Memphis Grizzlies and Milwaukee Bucks, only in exchange for a little filling, and the purpose of the Bulls' move was to lock Barrett, and the Grizzlies and Bucks used the first and second picks respectively to take away the slightly less talented Gaia and Nelson, leaving the most talented Barrett to Chicago.

The deal was called "the dirtiest black-box operation" in history by the American media.

Barrett was "well-off" brought to Chicago to take on the task of reviving.

In his first season, Barrett won his first big individual accolade: Rookie of the Year.

The following season, he was an All-Star and won the Slam Dunk Contest.

That same year, Barrett helped the team reach the Eastern Conference Finals, losing to the New York Knicks.

He made a comeback the following year and led the team to the Finals as a third-year rookie, eventually losing to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Barrett has been the reliance of this team over the years, but the record has never been able to break through, and the single-core team has achieved the extreme.

For the championship, Barrett reluctantly requested a trade from management, which caught the Bulls management by surprise, and in order to keep Barrett, the management was eager to find a strong helper for him.

"You're as diligent as ever." George looked at Barrett, who was sweating profusely, and nodded in satisfaction.

It's a habit he's been in since middle school.

"Have you ever seen what Los Angeles looks like at four in the morning?"

"No, but I've seen Chicago at four in the morning."
