The warriors sighed in unison: "Win the championship, ......"

"Don't say it, it's possible." Li Zhi patted his head and said.

Byron Davis touched Li Zhi's head, frowned and said, "I don't have a fever, why am I just daydreaming today, and I was still dreaming about what to say about beating the black mamba......"

Davis's words made Nelson nervous and said, "Lee, are you really okay?" ”

"Hehehe......" Li Zhi smiled awkwardly, then patted Barnes next to him on the shoulder and sighed.

"You're going to have a championship in the future...... It's a pity that I can't get into the White House. ”

Well, Li Zhi is really crazy! Everyone screamed in pain.

Of course, the others didn't know about Barnes's opportunity, but Li Zhi looked at Matt Barnes inexplicably, and the latter felt furious in his heart.

"This guy can't be a GAY, right?" Matt Barnes shuddered, startled by the idea.

In 2017, the year of Richie's previous life, Matt Barnes was called "the last villain in the NBA" by fans.

"Hey, brother, tell me your story!" Li Zhi suddenly wanted to hear about the unknown side of the person who was called "the last villain in the NBA".

The warriors also looked sideways.

In the Warriors, and even in the league as a whole, players like Stephen Jackson and Matt Barnes are rare.

"Do you really want to hear it?" Barnes didn't know why the tip of his nose was a little sore, and he glanced at Li Zhi.

Everyone nodded, Byron Davis also gently patted Barnes on the shoulder, and the old handsome Nelson also sat next to him curiously.

Byron Davis knows a thing or two about Barnes, while Nelson and the rest of the players only know about Barnes' NBA resume.

At the same time, Nelson also looked at Li Zhi with appreciation, as if looking at a piece of jade. Right now, like a leader, he does things that can glue the team together.

At the urging of the crowd, Barnes told his story.

……

Retired celebrities often complain on TV shows and social media that the players in front of them are "getting softer".

There's no way to know if this is the reality or the "old and the new" of the older generation, but Barnes has never had anything to do with such assessments. On the contrary, swearing, conflict, and fighting are what have always accompanied him.

Like many NBA players, Barnes Jr. grew up in an environment that wasn't peaceful. For the young Barnes, life is cruel, and everything he has to fight for in order to get it.

His father was a well-known local drug dealer, and when he was 7 years old, he witnessed his father beat away two plainclothes police officers, and in his own words, he lived a "Breaking Bad childhood"

With a troubled childhood and an irritable father, no one told him who he really was. Some people think he's black, while his black friends think he's white, and still others think he's Mexican.

"So I fight every day, and I'm neither white enough nor dark enough, so there's always someone who gets me in trouble all day long. And my dad told me I had to go home crying. I had no choice but to keep fighting. Matt Barnes said.

However, after all these events, he was no longer confused. "That's when I knew I was black," Barnes recalled, "and although I identified with Italian ancestry, I was black because no one treated me like a white man." To this day, I am discriminated against and treated differently. ”

Matt Barnes' NBA career didn't start well, as he was drafted by the Grizzlies with the 46th pick in the second round in 2002 — which was almost the last few players drafted — and then moved on to the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Seattle SuperSonics, but he struggled to get a chance anywhere.

It wasn't until January 2004 that he signed with the Los Angeles Clippers and began officially competing.

In the 2005-06 season, he was traded from the Kings to the 76ers along with Chris Webber. The 76ers head coach at the time was Morris Cheeks.

There, he didn't get along well with the players. To this day, Barnes still curses Cheeks without hesitation: "I remember him, he was a stupid dick." ”

"Whenever I practiced shooting on the sidelines, he would say, 'What are you doing here?' We don't need you to shoot. Enraged, Barnes stepped forward to beat the coach, but fortunately Webb and other teammates stopped him every time.

"He's just a jerk. I really hate him. Even today, if he were talking to me like that, I'd punch him in the face. ”

Unsurprisingly, he had no choice but to leave. After Barnes became a free agent, he was signed and cut by the Knicks, and with nowhere to go, he didn't seem to see his future in the NBA.

However, it was during a streetball game in Auckland that he took a turn in his life.

Nelson Sr. was there at the time, and he came over after the game to tell Barnes to go to the Warriors' training camp.

With that, Barnes glanced at Nelson gratefully, and Nelson smiled and motioned for him to continue.

The rest of the story doesn't need to be dictated by Barnes, and everyone knows it.

Barnes won the Warriors a three-year contract, his first contract with an annual salary of more than $1 million.

In the Warriors, he gradually began to show his talent, and in the Warriors' home game against the 76ers, Matt Barnes shot 7 of 8 three-pointers, setting a new record for the number of three-pointers made in a single game in Warriors history.

He recalled: "At that time, the coach knew that I had a grudge with the opposing coach Cheeks, so he said to me, go on, he will give me plenty of time. ”

You know, before joining the Warriors, Barnes only made 10 three-pointers in his career.

With the Golden State Warriors led by Byron Davis Davis, Stephen Jackson and Monta Ellis and others, began to blow a storm in the league, that year, the "Running Bomb Team" relied on the power of the late part of the regular season, caught the last train of the playoffs, and successfully "Black Eight", eliminated the Dallas Mavericks, who were runner-up the previous year and had the MVP Nowitzki that season.

Speaking of the glory of summer, everyone has memories on their faces, even El Harrington, who is silent on the sidelines, is extremely nostalgic for that summer.

Barnes doesn't like to be treated like an asshole, he just gives 100 per cent on the pitch and doesn't give in to anyone, but some people misinterpret what I amended.

If he were part of the team, they would appreciate Barnes' attitude to the game. But after becoming their opponent, they began to hate him. He respects everybody on the pitch but he's not afraid of anybody, that's his game, his way of life.

He has an instinctive reaction that melts into his blood: if his teammates are maliciously assaulted by their opponents, physical or otherwise, he will retaliate by pushing them with both hands, standing up for them, and causing a riot.

His labels — "thug," "thug" — keep him alive in this league.

These labels, his crude technique, and his innate need to protect those who make him even more important and his loved ones come together to make up this bloody, team-mate-loved, opponent-hated player.

With all that said, what kind of person is Barnes?

Let's take an example.

If you're a fan and you yat "Matt, you're disgusting," you'll usually get Barnes to respond with a "you."
