Chapter 1: I came to the NBA in 2001
In this world, it is popular to cross, the lucky people travel to all kinds of rich and powerful families, and the unfortunate people travel to the family before the family is down, waving their hands to revive the family's majesty. And my inexplicable crossing this time made me smile bitterly. Although I didn't mix very well in my previous life, I was not from a good background, an orphan, a bad job, a security guard at a securities company, no house, no car, no ticket, and no girlfriend, but I swear that I have never been ridiculed by people all over the world like this body, which is a complete tragedy. I came to the NBA in 2oo1, and I became the biggest parallel pick in the history of the 2oo1 NBA draft, and I was Kwame Brown, a character who has been ridiculed for decades, and there is probably no one to come.
The draft began, and I sat in the little green room with my hands folded, praying that I wouldn't be picked by the damn god, Mr. Jordan. I'm a second-round pick, and I'm much better than being drafted by Jordan, even though the hope is slim.
Mr. Jordan, in a suit and leather shoes, walked up to the draft table with a smile, handed the note in his hand to Stern, who picked up the microphone and said loudly: "The Washington Wizards have selected Kwame Brown from Charleston, South Carolina......"
I don't know what my face looks like, but I think it must be ugly, because the biggest joke of the century is about to happen.
I stood up, walked to the front of the stage, shook Stern's hand, shook hands with Mr. Jordan, who everyone in the world loved except me and Reggie Miller, hugged him, and put on a Wizards baseball cap.
Taking the microphone from David Stern's hand, I knew that I should say something at this time, but I must not tell the truth on this occasion, I took a deep breath to calm my complicated feelings, and said:
"Thank you very much Mr. Jordan for giving me a chance to express myself, I know that I still need to learn a lot, my skills are still very rough, but I hope that my efforts can be worthy of the title of champion. I want to thank my mom for that. It was he who worked tirelessly to raise me, his alma mater, Green High School, who brought me on the path of professional basketball, my coach Mr. Green, who accompanied me to practice basketball during the holidays, and my agent, Mr. David Hunter......"
After about 3 minutes of nonsense, I was accompanied by Mr. Jordan to the Wizards' rest area.
No one knew this was the beginning of the joke, except me. Everyone was smiling happily. Mr. Jordan was delighted to get a No. 1 pick, Stern was cheered by the gimmick of the first high school No. 1 No. 1 No. 1 No. 1 No. 1 No. 1 No. 1 No. 1 No. 1 No. 1 No. 1 No. 1 No. 1 No. 1 No. 1 No. 1 No. 1 No. 1 No. 1 No. 1 No. 1 No. 1 No. 1 No. I'm the only one who is unhappy, because I am the only one who knows what the future holds.
The draft is over, and the champion is the first target to be cared for. Eduardo Vivian, the basketball reporter for the Washington Post, blocked my path with a huge career line and asked, "Mr. Kwame Brown, you were the first player to win the top pick as a high school student, did you think you could get the top pick?" ”
I forced myself to smile, even though I knew I was smiling fakely, and slowly organized my language: "This is a very unexpected thing for me, because I haven't been baptized by the NCAA yet, and my technique is still a little rough." ”
"So you think you should be selected in the lower ranks?" The reporter really doesn't have a few good things, just knowing how to set people up, if I say that the order is low, wouldn't it mean that Jordan is a fool.
"It depends on what you think, if you talk about professional life, among these players who participated in the draft, I am the youngest, and I guess I will play the longest in the future, and from this point of view, I should still be selected as the champion." Chinese primary school students all know that they have to take care of him at this time, not to mention that my mental age is enough to be forty.
Mr. Jordan, who was beside me, laughed and patted me the shoulder, I knew that this was his appreciation for me, and I had a little joy in my heart, although I would like him to praise me on the court in the future, but isn't this a good start?
"Experts commented that high school players believe that it is difficult to succeed without experiencing the baptism of the NCAA. Ross Barkley isn't very optimistic about your prospects, and even Garnett and Kobe Bryant have taken years to settle into the NBA, what do you think about that? How long will it take you to get used to the rumors that Vivien's big girl continues to spread rumors. Barkley probably didn't know about it yet.
I may not be able to play, I can't play with you, I'll cross in vain, I'll confuse you: "This depends on God's arrangement, maybe I will adapt later, it will take a few years to fully adapt to the rhythm of the NBA, but maybe God is joking, let me adapt to the rhythm of the NBA on the first day." This is something that no one can predict. ”
"This draft list and Tanhua are both centers, do you think you can be better than them?" This Vivien is estimated to sow discord and engage in a civil war at the same level.
"It's hard to say at the moment, but if I was still playing basketball when they all retired, then I believe I would be better than them at that time." Lao Tzu won't talk about recent things, I'll be angry with you.
"The Wizards have had a poor record in recent years, what do you think the Wizards' winning percentage will be this year?"
"You should ask God, or you should ask the manager, or at worst, you should ask Mr. Jordan next to me." I quickly pulled Jordan to the front as a shield, even though he was also busy with other interviews.
"Some people say that Jordan chose you because you look more like him, is there such a reason?"
"Haha, this seems a little funny, and of course only Mr. Michael can tell you the answer."
Got rid of the annoying paparazzi, waved goodbye to Mr. Jordan, and I drove home alone. I don't want to be the laughing stock of everybody, although in the future it's very likely that I broke the traffic rules and called my agent, David Hunter, while driving: "Hello, Mr. Hunter, I'd like to rent a house in Washington, preferably with a small basketball court, not too expensive, buy?" Buy it too. Thank you. It would be better to be quick, you know I still have a lot to learn in basketball, thanks again. ”
I know what the future looks like, but I hope that the future I travel in will not be as depressing as it used to be. The former Kwame Brown has first-class physical qualities, moderate basketball skills, and general court awareness, coupled with Jordan's quick success, to create the most popular champion in NBA history. But at present, it seems that there are some changes, the first-class body element, this is a congenital condition, it must not be changed, the standard interior body, the upper body strength is strong enough to defend O'Neal and Duncan one-on-one, and the explosive power and bounce are also strong, which is rare among big players. The flexibility is very good. The feet are flexible, and when used well, he is an inhuman big center. Criticized for his medium basketball skills and general awareness of the game, the unstable mid-range shot can be done through guò training. As for the most rubbish meaning of the game, I believe that it has been completely changed now, and maybe it is not impossible that this meaning of basketball will become first-class. I'm going to start my training from tomorrow and I'm going to try to take my game up a level before the regular season.
On July 2, 201, on an ordinary day, I signed a 2+2 contract with the esteemed Mr. Michael Jordan in Washington, D.C., for the first year of the contract for $4.12 million, and then entrusted my agent to spend $550,000 to buy a small villa on Mark Avenue in the suburbs of Gaithersburg, Washington, with a gym and a small court, which will be the location of my struggle for the next four years. In addition, David Hunter found me two personal trainers: technical coach Pete Johnson and strength and conditioning coach Gary Fox, for which I had to pay $30,000 a year.
The training plan is my own designation and is very detailed, as follows:
6:oo: Wake up, wash up for 15 minutes,
6:15: Practicing Tai Chi, 64 Style Tai Chi, I will do it in my last life, I feel that it is good for my physical flexibility, maybe it will be good for the improvement of shooting percentage.
7:oo make your own breakfast
7:3o Breakfast
8:oo I took the basketball out for a walk and became familiar with the ball
9:OO Mr. Pete Johnson arrives to practice shooting.
1o:15 15 break for 15 minutes
1o:3o Pace practice, playing basketball, talent may be important, but you can only succeed at a young age, and pace can make you unstoppable for the rest of your life.
11:3o stop training, massage.
12:oo Lunch and rest.
13:3o Practice shooting.
15:3o 15-minute break
15:45 Practice grabbing rebounds, to be a great center, rebounding is the foundation of its greatness, Mr. Pete Johnson obviously can't compete with me for rebounds, but he's a smart coach, he found someone to create three models of defenders with a height of 2.2o pure rubber, in the three-second zone, he keeps shooting, and I have to fight with three rubber guys. Other people may have coaches who teach them to play the position, but I take this as a compulsory course, hoping that my rebounding will not be as rubbish and criticized as in my previous life.
16:45 Stop training, massage.
17:oo The two coaches left
18:oo for dinner.
18:3o Take the ball out for a walk and get acquainted with the ball sense.
19:3o Go home and watch the footage of all the great centers in history.
21:3o sleep
In order not to become a parallel import, in order not to be ridiculed by the world, I gambled my precious youth, there is no music, no movies, no game consoles, no bars, and no women. I don't know what my future achievements will be, if the world will change because of my efforts, I just hope that I will no longer be ridiculed.
Twenty years later, Mr. Pete Johnson compiled his diary into a book, How the Great Center is Made, and in his introduction, he wrote:
On June 3o, 2oo1, Mr. Kwame Brown had just been selected by Mr. Michael Jordan as the top pick, and Mr. David Hunt called me to tell me that he needed a personal trainer to teach him the skills of the center. It's a very glorious thing to be a coach for a champion, but I'm hesitant because most of the young people who are successful in their careers can't settle down to practice those basic things, and I don't know if that's the case with him.
I came to his training court with a skeptical attitude, and I was surprised by his watch, he had a full schedule of his own time, and he was familiar with the ball with basketball when he walked after eating. His life was like a puritan, there was no entertainment, just training, boring, I don't know how long he would last, but I knew that if he could keep these boring trainings, he would be the greatest center in NBA history, not one of them. From that moment on, I didn't leave him until yesterday, because yesterday he announced his retirement, with a whole body of glory.
