Chapter 137 Yesterday Reappears
"Zach, you still had a childhood like that, haha, you must have been a bad boy." It seemed that Guy was more interested in his pre-high school life.
"It's nothing. Where can a kid like me go in our community? What can I do? If a 12-year-old black boy suddenly appears in a white community, even if you don't do anything, it will cause panic in others. They will call the police and arrest you immediately." Randolph spread his hands.
"Don't just talk about me, talk about yourself, what were you doing in high school?" Randolph successfully turned the question to Gay.
Although Gay is also black, his childhood was relatively happy. Before high school, he was a well-known local player.
His parents have very strict requirements on him. They stipulate that he must go home before 9 o'clock every night. Playing and training cannot affect his studies. He must achieve a score of 3.0 or above in each subject.
"Wow, 3.0!" Someone said in the crowd. It turns out that Guy is a top student. It's strange. How can Memphis always get top students? The former Sean Battier is said to be A perfect student.Even if Shane Battier doesn't play basketball, he can be a judge or a congressman based on his talent.
This is no secret among the Grizzlies. Everyone respects this former senior. Last time they played away against the Miami Heat, they even specially invited Battier to have a meal at a local restaurant. Civilized Chinese cuisine, the scene is very warm.
"Me, I have nothing to say, just play, but I remember once I scored a game-high 37 points in one night, our team won, but I was left alone by the coach to talk. "Guy paused.
"Why, they all scored the highest points, and the team won the game, why did they stay?" Arthur and Dooling obviously couldn't understand these things.
"I don't know. Anyway, the coach was not satisfied with my performance. He always said that my shot timing was wrong, that I was selfish, and then I transferred to Spalding High School and played the next two seasons. .”
Gay's words are true. Both his senior year and senior year won the honor of the first team of the Baltimore Catholic League. In his senior year, he averaged 21.2 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 3.7 blocks per game, and won the honor of the "Baltimore Sun" Player of the Year Award, selected to the McDonald's All-Star Game, selected to the All-American First Team by Parade Magazine.
Among the 2004 high school students, Gay ranked second among small forwards, second only to Josh Smith, who was later promoted to the NBA and then shined.
"There must always be something to say, such as dismissal of training..." It seemed that Arthur didn't want him at all.
"No, I remember one time against Oak High, a player came up to my body and humiliated me, and then I beat him up on offense, and he was only on my defense that night. Got four points, but I scored 29 points." Gay said complacently.
"Oh!" Obviously they were not interested in the game itself, so everyone went to pester Randolph again.
"Zach, did you really stop fighting with others? Did you not rob?" Arthur was still pestering him.
"Ah, yeah, not only did I get a spot on the team, but then the coach got my mother a steady job in the laundry room at school, and my sister and brother were protected a lot, and we It saves a lot of trouble, and I no longer have to worry about the rent." Randolph's mood has calmed down a lot.
"The coach Mullins is really a good man, you are so lucky." Dooling has been standing in the aisle, listening carefully to those glorious deeds of Randolph.
Yes, in fact, people have to meet many people and many things in this life, and there will always be some unforgettable memories, whether they are good or bad. It's good that I didn't give up.
We are always repeating and growing, becoming stronger in the hurt, and growing wings in the wind and rain.Always face the sun and move forward fearlessly.
"Then, one Christmas, Coach Mullins invited me to his house, and I remember his daughter was trying to stop him, he didn't want to be at the same table with a big stupid guy who was always stealing things. Eat, and be ashamed of it." Randolph drank the water in his hand in one go.
"And then, did you go?" Tony Allen was also aroused by him, surrounded him, and squeezed a seat beside him.
"Uh... I stood outside the door for a long time, and when I was hesitating whether to ring the doorbell, Coach Mullins and his wife opened the door for me and introduced me enthusiastically in front of the three children. The turkey was delicious, but I didn’t seem to be full enough, and I was a little cautious. Before leaving, Coach Mullins handed me a big paper bag with chicken legs in it, bread and the like, and asked me to take it home. You gave me 100 yuan to buy a thicker coat." Randolph looked calm when he said this.
When Randolph was growing up, Coach Mullins gave him the kind of warmth like a father's love that he never had, so in his later life he respected this stubborn little old man, and on weekends When there is no game, I will go to his home to help with what I can.
Some heavy work, such as moving things or going shopping in town, and even once when they couldn't be separated, he went to his daughter's parent meeting for him, where Randolph's size and face sat There seems to be no disobedience among the parents.
"I often practice dribbling in the corner alone, and often practice up and down the steps of the arena, which makes my calves bigger." This is a very important message, Arthur nodded thoughtfully .
"How about college, did your coach treat you well? I heard that you didn't choose Indiana University in your hometown, but went to Michigan State University, is that true?" Kenyon Dooling was very interested in his affairs .
Later, Randolph went very smoothly. Although he only played for one season as a senior, he still averaged nearly 20 points and 11 rebounds in less than 7 minutes per game, and helped the team score four goals. powerful.
After that season, he participated in the NBA draft, and everyone knows what happened next. He was picked by the Portland Trail Blazers with the 2001th pick in the first round in 19.
And in the game against the Memphis Grizzlies in 07, he scored 43 points and 17 rebounds. At that time, the Grizzlies had the idea of introducing him, but they failed to forming.
It wasn't until 2009 that he moved to the Grizzlies, and immediately had a chemical reaction with the team, becoming a good player trusted by coaches and teammates.
