Basketball Myth: Super Guard

At this time, Jimmy Butler looked unremarkable, looked ordinary, and even seemed a little withdrawn and unusual, not very gregarious, standing alone behind the basketball hoop, holding a basketball and practicing dribbling, watching the group of people on the court. The players who are playing half-court confrontation have calm eyes, as if the excitement is someone else's, and has nothing to do with him.

No one cares about this guy who is less than 1.9 meters (1.88 meters) tall. No one can imagine that such a guy will become an NBA All-Star player in the future.

"Jimmy Butler, why is he here?" Qin Hao was surprised, and after a careful recollection, he understood, "By this time in 2007, Jimmy should have been in the twelfth grade (that is, senior year, four years of American high school). , from the ninth to the twelfth grade), and is going to college soon. But the college entrance is in September, which means that he is still a high school student."

Of course, the biggest reason why Jimmy Butler is here is that he is too ordinary, ranking out of 1,000 high school players in the United States.

In the same year as him, Kevin Love ranked 5th in the United States, Derrick Rose ranked 6th in the United States, bearded James Harden ranked 14th in the United States, and Blake Griffin ranked 18th in the United States. .....

Jimmy Butler ranks out of 1,000 in the United States, or 1,253 to be precise. The gap is so big that people will inadvertently ignore him.

It is also because of this that he will appear in the high school training camp, while Love, Rose, Harden, and Griffin will never appear. They will only appear in the college player training camp.

"Hey, hello, my name is Qin Hao, I'm from China." Qin Hao stepped forward and extended his hand to Butler.

Butler froze for a moment, obviously surprised.

In the past, no one would take the initiative to greet him. He was used to it, because even his mother abandoned him on the grounds that he was ugly. Usually, many people in the school pointed at him, but deliberately alienated him. He, he has become accustomed to this kind of life, and only hides stubbornness and unyielding in the deepest part of his heart.

Suddenly a man ran over to greet him, grinning and smirking, still Chinese... Butler felt a little square.

It wasn't until Qin Hao introduced it again that Butler came back to his senses, stretched out his hand and shook Qin Hao unnaturally, and said, "My name is Jimmy, Jimmy Butler, nice to meet you."

"Haha, I'm also very happy to meet you. Then I'll call you Jimmy in the future. You can call me Qin." Qin Hao was very excited. This is an NBA star, right in front of him.

Among so many NBA stars, Butler is definitely not the most dazzling, and even in the eyes of many people, he can only be regarded as a star, not even a superstar. There is a big gap between James and Durant.

But Qin Hao liked Butler very much from the beginning. During the period when Ross was injured, Butler stood up and carried the Bulls by himself. He did not have dazzling talent, but he was the most practical and diligent.

Like many NBA stars who came from slums, Butler had a tragic life. He didn't know who his father was, and was abandoned by his mother. Fortunately, he met his friend Jordan Leslie and was taken care of by his friend's family. Jordan -Leslie's father treats him like his own son.

Perhaps it was the care of his family that warmed Butler's heart, made his heart hot, and made him, who was inconspicuous before, begin to show his edge, and finally entered the NBA and became an NBA All-Star player.

He is not the second generation of stars, nor is he talented. His success is all based on unremitting efforts and tenacious struggle.

It can be said that Butler's life is a living inspirational drama.

Under Qin Hao's intention to make friends, the two quickly became acquainted.

Although he knew it for a long time, Qin Hao still asked about Butler's current situation, so as to avoid being familiar with it in the future, and he casually said something to reveal his flaws.

Qin Hao learned from Butler's mouth that he was about to go to college and should go to Taylors College, but he didn't have much confidence in himself, and he didn't know what it would be like to go to Taylors College.

"Jimmy." Qin Hao said: "You have to have confidence in yourself, even if everyone underestimates you, you have to believe that you can do it and do the best you can. Also, I will always support you, I believe One day, you're going to be an NBA player, an All-Star kind of thing."

"I... can I?" Butler asked uncertainly.

"Be confident and remove the '?'." Qin Hao patted Butler on the shoulder, as if this would inject energy into him, "You can."

Butler nodded, his eyes glowing, full of fighting spirit.

Qin Hao touched his nose, thinking that 18-year-old Butler is really fooling around, and he doesn't know if he will show his edge sooner after drinking this bowl of chicken soup?

The half-time confrontation on the field is over.

Qin Hao and Butler can finally practice shooting.

"Shh!"

With a soft sound, Qin Hao hit a three-pointer.

Seeing Qin Hao's shot, Butler's eyes lit up and praised: "Qin, your shooting is great, like a textbook."

"That's because I learned it from the textbook." Qin Hao smiled and opened his hand to Butler. Butler understood, passed the ball over, and Qin Hao shot again.

Swish!

Another soft sound, a hollow hit.

Butler became interested and wanted to know how many consecutive goals Qin Hao could score. He simply acted as a passer, stood under the basket, passed the ball to Qin Hao, and after Qin Hao shot, he picked up the basketball and continued to pass it to him.

shuh, shuh...

He shot again and again, hit again and again, and threw ten shots in a row, all of which were hollow hits.

Butler's eyes glowed and he was a little excited. Before, he just thought Qin Hao was very enthusiastic and should be a good person, but he didn't expect Qin Hao to shoot so well. radians are the same.

shuh, shuh...

Qin Hao continued to shoot and has scored 15 goals in a row, without missing a single shot.

This time, not only Butler was surprised, but also attracted the attention of some other people. Coach Baker, who had given Qin Hao a jersey before, looked this way, and when he saw Qin Hao's action, he raised his brows, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

It's a pity that at this moment, with a "bang", the basketball shot out of the frame, and the 16th shot failed to make it.

"Phew." Qin Hao stopped, a little regretful.

"Qin." Butler's eyes were shining, he ran over and punched Qin Hao in the chest, and said with a smile: "You can, I didn't expect you to be so accurate in three-pointers, and you missed sixteen shots, much better than me. "

"Haha, three points is my strength." Qin Hao smiled.

Modesty isn't very popular here in America, especially on the court.

At this time, Coach Baker came over, looked at Qin Hao and Butler, and said, "You two come with me, and we will start training in groups immediately."
