It is the first time in the history of the Timberwolves to be selected into the first defensive team of the league for eight times (99-0000-010202-0303-0404-0507-0808-09) and the second defensive team for six consecutive years (05-0606-07). -2003, 2003-2004, 2007-2008), the second team three times (2000-200 1-2002, 2004-2005), and the third team twice (1998-/kloc-0). In 2000, he was selected to the American national team and won the gold medal in the men's basketball team in the 2000 Olympic Games, and won the title of rebounding king for four consecutive years (03-04 04-05 05-06 06-07). In this data, only Chamberlain, moses malone and Rodman can compete with it. Since the 2002-03 season, KG has occupied the first place in the player's efficiency ball list for four consecutive years. KG scored in double figures for 398 consecutive games, which is the longest record in NBA at present, and this figure ranks eighth in NBA history. Since the 98-99 season, KG has maintained a score of 20+ 10 for nine consecutive years. During 1999-05, he contributed at least 5 assists for 6 consecutive years (the first person in NBA history). In 2003, he was elected as the most valuable player in the 52nd All-Star Game (37 points and 9 rebounds). In 2003-04, he played 82 regular-season games, averaging 24.2 points (second in the league), 13.9 rebounds (first in the league) and 5.65438+. The team conquered the judges in the first show in the west, and got 12 19 (full score 1230, KG is a rare high score for many years), and won the MVP in the regular season. During the period, he was elected as the best player in the West Month in 65438+February, 65438+ 10, February and April respectively, ranking first in NBA history. So far, only Garnett and lebron james have won this honor in the NBA, and James didn't achieve this achievement until the 2008-09 season. In 2007-2008, he moved to Boston Celtics, and together with Paul Pierce and Ray Allen, he formed the "Big Three" of Boston Celtics. In his first season with Celtic, he was awarded the auerbach Prize as the best defensive player in 2007-2008. In the 2007-08 season, he devoted himself to defense, which made the team lose 9 points per game less than last season, and helped the team win the first record in the league with 66 wins 16 losses and win the championship. In the middle of the season, he was elected as the all-star ticket king with 2.39 million votes. 1On May 9, 976, Garnett was born in Maoding, a small town in South Carolina. His parents parted ways when he was very young. Garnett lives with his mother, but her mother doesn't have much ability to raise Garnett and Esley. Later, his mother remarried, and his stepfather was not very kind to Garnett and his brother and sister. Childhood was a difficult experience for Garnett. "It can be said that I didn't have a carefree childhood at all." After many years in kevin garnett, Garnett didn't want to recall the past. Since 13 years old, Garnett has to go out to work every day to earn money to support his family. He has done more than a dozen different jobs, from carrying luggage to washing cars. Garnett will rush to do any job that can support himself and his sister, no matter how hard and tired it is. He used to work 20 hours a day during the holidays. The experience of his youth made Garnett more responsible than the average person. He always feels obligated to help others. In his last year of high school, Garnett promised his neighbor's old lady that he would come back to help her grandson, Hope, regardless of his ability. The old lady is Harper's guardian, but she can't discipline her grandson. Garnett decided to adopt Harper as his guardian after signing a huge contract with the Timberwolves on 1995. Garnett said, "I can really give him a lot of money to live comfortably with his grandmother." "But I think it is one thing to give money to others, and it is another to care for him and help him grow up together. I hope that he (Haipu) can become a useful person to society in the future, don't make bad friends, and take fewer detours. " No matter how busy he is, Garnett will take time to chat and play ball with Harper. "I think this is much more useful than simply writing him a check of 654.38+0 million." Perhaps because of his hardships, Garnett is very helpful. Two years ago, Garnett also founded the xxxxl Foundation, which is a foundation dedicated to helping young people, guiding them to the right life path and providing them with employment opportunities. In 2008, he won the NBA championship and was selected for the 2008-2009 all-star starting lineup. In the 2009-20 10 season, he was selected for the Eastern All-Star starting lineup. On February 28th, 20 10, the NBA played more minutes than Jordan.

[Edit this paragraph] Rare talents

Although Garnett has little contact with his biological father, it cannot be denied that his basketball talent is not unrelated to his father's inheritance. Garnett's biological father is O 'kevin garnett Lewis Garnett. He is a very talented basketball player, but he has never played in the nba, only in the army basketball team and played the main force. In Garnett's impression, Austria's image has been somewhat blurred. I only remember being on the sidelines countless times when I was a child, watching my father train with his companions and helping them pick up the ball. It is said that Garnett's smooth movements are similar to those of his father Opal. After his parents divorced, Garnett's stepfather didn't support him to play ball because he didn't want to put a basket in the garage or backyard, which would make the originally spacious house more crowded. The mother also doesn't encourage her son to play basketball. In her opinion, playing basketball is not the right way for her son. She wants her son to study, receive higher education and find a decent job after graduating from college. But obviously, the mother underestimated her son's basketball talent. In middle school, Garnett was highly valued by the coach of the school basketball team and began to show his face. I left the quiet South Carolina and went to Chicago, where I entered the basketball middle school, namely farragut College. Here, kevin garnett met his first legendary teammate-Ronnie Fields. Garnett, a high school partner, once dunked at the free throw line. Because of him, vincent carter, the most famous "Dunk General" in NBA, dare not take part in the national high school dunk contest. It is around this genius that Garnett is called "the boy". When Garnett first entered high school, he had a one-on-one "bullfight" with Fields, and Garnett was hit by 1 1. Since then, Garnett has worked harder than before. Two years later, he has become another legend in the senior high school team of farragut University. Today, Garnett has won the highest honor among basketball players, but Fields can only fool around in the minor league USBL because of a car accident, so Garnett has always said: "There are many people with very strong strength, but not everyone has enough luck. I can be today and must learn to be grateful. " Although in the four-year high school season, Garnett scored 2533 points 1807 rebounds and 739 blocks; He also won the title of the most outstanding player in McDonald's national basketball game, but when he first entered the NBA, people still called him "boy". Almost everyone doesn't think highly of him, because he is a high school student-a thin high school student, kevin garnett Garnett. John hammond, the manager of basketball affairs of Piston Club, was a key figure in his growing up. Hammond has a unique eye. He found Garnett in the high school league and introduced him to Chicago training camp at 1995. Garnett became famous overnight. In the same year, the fifth place in the first round of the nba draft was selected by the Timberwolves. The Timberwolves signed a huge contract with him, which became a sensational news at that time. Kevin mchale, general manager of Timberwolves basketball affairs, still remembers Garnett's first scene. Garnett completed a difficult dunk. "At that time, everyone was shocked. Everyone opened their mouths wide and could hardly believe their eyes. On the way back, today's Timberwolves coach Sanders (former general manager of the club) began to mutter, "This guy, we must never give up." It turns out that Sanders' vision is not wrong. After Garnett joined, the Timberwolves entered the playoffs for eight consecutive years. Outside the stadium, Garnett's life is rarely noticed. In fact, this strange and even funny star is a very tasteful fashion designer. He owns his own clothing brand, named obf, and his business is quite prosperous. Garnett belongs to Taurus. People in this constellation have one thing in common: perseverance and great emphasis on learning new things. I like the fashion industry, Garnett said, because fashion can make people keep abreast of the trend. Kevin garnett Garnett has an eye for texture and color. He is not only interested in clothes, but also has a lot of research on interior decoration design. Garnett's new house is so big that he designed it entirely by himself. He always decorates his bedroom with good taste. "I don't want to invite anyone to decorate my house," he said. "I am a person with a strange taste. The decoration at home, even a small decoration, reflects my thoughts. " In Garnett's mansion, there are only two simple colors: white and black, whether it is wall paint or furniture color. That's Garnett's favorite color. He said it was the "best" color and "never out of date". Garnett, who is 2. 1 1 m tall, also pays great attention to his usual clothes. He thinks it is important to dress appropriately and wear his own style. Look at Garnett outside the stadium, he really has a way of dressing: diamond earrings and silver necklaces always complement fashion, and his tall and thin figure gives Garnett a unique temperament like a model. While pursuing fashion, Garnett does not blindly follow the trend, but pays attention to wearing his own style. He prefers black and white in dress, and there are the most black and white fashions in the wardrobe. Even if the income from playing in the Timberwolves is not counted, the successful operation of obf makes Garnett among the rich. Garnett insisted that he didn't do business to make money. "Although money is tempting, it is not everything. I think the most important thing is to make myself and the people around me feel happy. " Because of this, after having a fortune, Garnett's first thought is how to repay the society. "The ultimate goal of doing business is to repay the society. Pass on what you have learned to more people. " Garnett often says that his private life is the last thing he likes to talk about. His good friend and former teammate Maric Shawn was killed in a car accident. Although many years have passed, until now, Garnett's eyes will still be wet as long as Maric's name is mentioned. Obviously, Garnett is a sentimental person. He won't forget the past, he will only remember it. KG2 is equipped with Adidas' most powerful shock absorption system, and adopts a3 revolutionary technology to provide extremely light shock absorption system and super durable support. The design of the three lines embedded in the upper produces customized comfort, providing complete coverage and a more comfortable feeling. The instantaneous explosive force of the forefoot guided by adiPRENE+ elastic shock-absorbing materials, Garnett's torsion system and strong arch support protection, and the three-dimensional structure of the heel are reinforced to enhance the shock absorption and conduction functions, and take the first step faster than others. The tongue is made of mesh material, so that both feet can feel the perfect covering effect and comfortable breathability on the court at the same time. Garnett's personalized design can also be found on KG2, such as the KG back number 2 1 on the side of the shoe, the KG exclusive totem and Garnett on the heel and sole, and the signature of KG relief. The most special thing is that the inside of the shoe is embroidered with 2Malik to commemorate malik sealy (malik's teammate and friend of Garnett Grey Wolves died in a car accident (Malik's jersey number is 2, and he was killed by a truck driving in the opposite direction on his way home from Garnett's birthday party in 2000). From the beginning of the research and development process, Garnett joined the discussion, and he completely participated in the control of the sole on the ground, technology, color and design. He hopes that through continuous discussion, he can create a pair of exclusive models of KG Wolf King style. Garnett was the most valuable player in the NBA in 2003-2004, leading the Minnesota Grey Wolves to win the Western Conference championship for the first time. This season, Garnett has continued his consistent excellent performance, currently ranked first in the rebounding list, averaging more than 20 points per game, and was elected as the starting forward in the Western Division of the NBA All-Star Game with a high vote. Since Jordan retired, all parties have been busy looking for a successor for him, including Kobe Bryant, Carter and the latest James. Most of the successors are similar to Jordan. But if you want to find a basketball player who can compete with Jordan in his bones, Garnett should be the first among the active players. Garnett is like Jordan, and their * * * nature is their persistence in winning. Every successful NBA star has his own struggle history, and Garnett is no exception, which can be confirmed by his tattoo. Garnett wrote "KG" on one arm and basketball on the other. These three words record the growth of MVP.

[Offence] It is well known that kg's offense is softer than SHAQ and TD, which is caused by its thin body ... Its offensive means are mostly Kevin Garnett's back jumper and mid-long distance turn jumper, and its extremely fast speed in F is the main way. Although its play is out of bounds, its shooting percentage is guaranteed because it is difficult to be blocked and interfered, and its score is very stable, averaging 20 points per game. However, due to its stability and selflessness, MSKG has no strong scoring explosive force, which is even worse than Manu. The highest score of his career didn't reach 47 until the outbreak of the sun this year. It can't be said that KG can't get 50+, but he doesn't seem to have this desire, which may also become a bottleneck problem in his attack. KG's passing vision is excellent, so that opponents dare not double-pack, and the overall situation is very good. The ability to shoot key shots is also very strong, such as two three-pointers against the Kings and the Clippers' whistle ball. Compared with TD, the style of play is more gorgeous and elegant, so it is called a big ball ticket. TD is a big basic truth. Attack means 1: low singles, turn and jump shot. In KG's scoring arsenal, this trick is the most handy. We can often see him. The hit rate is very high, as if there is no record of being photographed! This action will show the soft touch of KG, the arm span of BT and the super waist and abdomen ability incisively and vividly. SHAQ's own brand LOGO is a two-handed basket, so if one day KG has its own brand, then choose this as the logo. Attack means 2: throw into the basket. This trick is basically used at the top of the arc or near the free throw line. Garnett's shooting point is very backward. With his height and wingspan, there is little possibility of being disturbed. Attack means three: back-to-back singles, jumping small hooks. Ordinary means. Maybe it's because of lack of physical resistance. Attack means 4: the second attack. Garnett grabbed rebounds in the frontcourt, got up and dunked, screaming at the sky. Do you have images in your head? Attack means 5: kg slam dunk show. First, after the pick-and-roll, it is similar to Steve Nash's cooperation, but the Timberwolves' defenders rarely pass high-quality balls. The second one is a dunk that catches the ball on the next fast break. Attack means 6: Slip the baseline and make a layup. It's another way of attacking that doesn't belong to power forward. This action is often to face the defender first, pretend to shake, then stride through and dunk. It is worth mentioning that in the process of KG layup, the head often needs to avoid rebounds. Attack means 7: assists. KG's passing vision is excellent, so that opponents dare not double-pack, and the overall situation is very good. The number of assists is maintained at more than 4 times all the year round. [Defense] Defending the first team for many years, with strong personal defense ability. Yao Ming once called it Okumo, with extremely flexible pace and slender arms. BT's physical quality can still interfere with the ball even if it can't stop its opponent. Defensive rebounds ranked first in the NBA, with excellent prediction and control, and became the NBA rebounding king for two consecutive years. Because of kg's flexibility and predictive ability, his steals have been kept at the top level of F, and he can keep 1.5 steals per game. However, due to his mobility, he often covers the perimeter and even directly guards his opponent SG/SF, and his physical confrontation is slightly inferior. His cover shot is not very good, except last season, which averaged around 1.7 per game. He is an active defensive player with a strong sense of rotation and transposition. He is the top guard in the league. Under the condition of 1V 1, almost all technical players are free from death except meat sticks ... [Physical fitness] The physical fitness is abnormal, and unofficial history said that he can touch the upper edge of the rebound ... although it is not necessarily true, it can definitely be used as a reference. The wingspan reaches 223CM and the height is high. When I first entered the league, I was praised for my passion and dunk. The fans' hats in the air are waiting for the opponent's ball to come out directly, and the ball is pulled up at an unparalleled speed. Dunk is explosive and flexible (like SF in 2005). If KG took part in the current dunk contest, it would definitely be better than Xiao S. Now, the style of play is biased towards technology and begins to protect the body. There are fewer super dunks like Xiao S, but the dunks are still gorgeous, and gorgeous ... KG has never been banned for a long time, but in recent seasons, MS's knee injury has had a great impact, as if her physical fitness has declined slightly ... KG, hold on! [Potential] As a high school student, KG has been making progress. Until now, it has been competing with TD. At that time, it signed a sky-high contract because of its unlimited potential. Now Kevin Garnett thinks it must be worth it. [Secret Skill] Turn around, step back, jump shot, and the blocked shot rate is almost zero ... Popularity In the latest statistics in 2009, the popularity index of KG in Europe and China is very high. In the sales charts of jerseys in the two places, he ranks second in Europe and third in China. This is enough to show that KG, a rare talent player, still loves his fans deeply after entering the NBA as a high school student for more than ten years.
