Both parents found that Bosh's characteristics are very similar to their own. He always wants to think through one thing and seek the best way to solve the problem. Young Bosh is still very active. His excellent athletic talent made his parents decide to send him to karate and gymnastics classes, and he performed very well in both sports, but nothing can interest Bosh more than the basket installed on the bedroom door. He and his younger brother Joel quickly smashed the door while enjoying themselves, which forced his father to install a simple basketball stand for them in the backyard.
John Salle, a famous player of Detroit Pistons, is one of Bosh's favorite players. At the age of seven, he came across his idol in the lobby of a Dallas hotel. Salle was surprised to have such a small fan. After talking with Bosch, he signed his name. Since then, Bosh has become a die-hard fan of Salle and has been paying attention to his long career.
Bosh's learning ability is very strong, and he soon became one of the top students in the school, which was highly appreciated by teachers and classmates. In addition, Bosh's taller and stronger figure than his peers made him the top star in his class. Parents are well aware of the difference between studying and basketball. Once Bosh's exam results are not satisfactory, Freda and Noel will sound the alarm for him and warn him to study hard no matter how good he plays basketball. When Bosch was in Lincoln High School, he had grown to 6 feet 7 inches, and then his height soared to 6 feet 10 inch. But what makes him laugh and cry is that his feet are stagnant at 45.5 yards, but his "slender" feet also benefit from Bosch's agile steps. In his high school basketball career, Bosh made rapid progress. He soon became the first player on the team and then became the best player on the team. At the same time, Bosh is still outstanding in his studies. He got high marks in the examinations of standard subjects and became a member of the American National Honor Society. In the eyes of his classmates, he is simply an omnipotent genius. Science, mathematics, website construction and relatively basic graphic design stand out among peers. Before Bosh decided to take basketball as a career, he dreamed of becoming an artist.
Head coach Bishop records every week what Bosh and other players need to improve. This constantly improving coaching style makes them the most potential local high school team in Dallas. At this time, Bosh was fascinated by Kevin Garnett's skills, and often imitated his footwork, fake movements and offensive means by watching the game of "Wolf King". Bosh catches the ball in the penalty area, and opponents often don't know what attack mode he will choose. He is only one year old 10. Under Bosh's leadership, Lincoln High School reached the semi-finals of the Texas Championship. Unfortunately, he got into foul trouble too early in the game, which led the team to lose to the opponent by 2 points. After the game, he vowed not to let this happen again.
Bosh didn't forget his promise. A year later, he helped Lincoln High School win 40 games and won the state championship. His average of 20 points 14 rebounds is enough to show how excellent his performance is, so it is reasonable to be elected as "Mr. Basketball" in Texas that year. With such a brilliant high school basketball career, Bosh has naturally become the target of many universities. Both the University of Florida and the University of Memphis tried their best to get him, but Bosh was finally attracted by Paul Hewitt, the head coach of Georgia Institute of Technology, because the coach cared about Bosh's dream of becoming a professional basketball player one day. In addition, he also appreciates the offensive style of this university team. More importantly, Bosh's childhood idol Salai graduated from this school. Bosh planned to study for four years when he entered school, but he became a leader in his first year of college, which even he didn't expect. In the first game of college, Bosch scored 26 points, but in the last game of the season, he shot 20 shots 15 that night. In addition to grabbing double-digit rebounds, he also sent a lot of blocked shots, and his three-point shooting rate was as high as 50%. Bo ended the 2002-03 season by averaging 15.9 points and 9 rebounds, his shooting percentage and blocked shots per game.
Bosh couldn't sleep at the thought of entering the NBA early. He immediately went to seek the advice of his mentor Hewitt. Unexpectedly, Hewitt thought Bosh might wander between the fourth and eighth places, which made him more confident. After weighing the pros and cons of staying, Bosh really can't give up the chance to become the top five pick in the NBA. Facts have proved that his choice is very correct.
