[personal history]

Bill russell was born in 1934 and is 2m tall. In 2006 1956, he won the Olympic basketball gold medal, 1 1 times won the NBA championship, including eight consecutive championships, and was elected as the NBA's most valuable player five times. 1967 became the first black head coach in NBA history. Russell is the greatest defensive center in basketball history. He was inducted into the American Basketball Hall of Fame on 1974.

Although Russell is a center, his height is not outstanding, but his physical fitness is excellent: 100 meters, 10.06 seconds, 400 meters, 49 seconds. The high jump score is 2.09 meters. His explosive power is amazing, and he can easily touch the upper edge of the rebound, which laid a good foundation for him to become an NBA superstar. However, more importantly, while studying in the famous basketball school, University of San Francisco, Russell mastered the defensive concept and technology that will change the future basketball face. The coach of this university, Ren Erbote, combined Russell's physical fitness with very authoritative defense theory, which enabled Russell to lead the University of San Francisco team to a magical record of 55 consecutive victories, and he himself won the title of the best player in the United States many times.

1956, Russell delayed joining the NBA for one year in order to participate in the Melbourne Olympic Games, leading the American men's basketball team to win all eight games in the Olympic Games, averaging 53 points per game. After joining the Boston Celtics in NBA, Russell 1 1 won the NBA championship. Eight of them won the championship in succession, and these two records are two peaks that future generations cannot surpass. In defense, Russell always waits for the opponent to shoot before jumping, and then hits the ball like volleyball as the basketball rises, or hits his own frontcourt, so that his teammates can start a fast break. When scoring, most of them are rebounding in the frontcourt and making up the basket twice. His hook shot can be left or right, which is hard to prevent. 1959, he and "basketball emperor" Chamberlain grabbed 35 rebounds in the first confrontation. Got 5 1 rebound in a game with Syracuse national team.

Russell, who won the 1 1 championship for the Celtics in the 13 season, said: "For me, the best thing is to watch a group of people cooperate with each other, cheer each other up, and March towards the goal of winning the championship together." I tried, and so did my teammates. I think we did succeed. "

Russell won the MVP five times, 1970 was selected as the best team for the 25th anniversary of NBA, and 1980 was selected as the best team for the 35th anniversary of NBA. In the same year, he was voted the greatest player of this century by the American Professional Basketball Writers Association. 1998 was elected as the top 50 stars in NBA history.

Russell changed a basic concept of basketball with his mythical defensive ability and blocking skill-only focusing on offense, not defense. His achievement practice tells people that you can still win the championship with excellent defense. From 65438 to 0967, Russell was appointed as a player and coach by the Celtics. Become the first black head coach in NBA history.

During the 13 season of Boston Celtics, from the season of 79-80 to the season of 9 1-92, Bird performed perfectly in all aspects of the court-whether as a scorer, passer, rebounder, defender, team core or Mr. Key. Bird is always so confident. As we all know, this guy often swaggered to his opponent's bench before the war and told him that he would score 40 points in the game. No one dares to take this as a joke. Bird is a deadly shooter. Even when practicing three-pointers, he often closes his eyes on purpose to achieve the training effect. In Byrd's time, perhaps only Magic Johnson was better at passing the ball. A magician is a bird's greatest enemy and a lifelong friend. The black-and-white confrontation between these two superstars in the 1980s has become an immortal classic of NBA.

Birds are the embodiment of Celtic honor. He is an elegant, confident and diligent player who likes to meet challenges under pressure and help his teammates do their best. Like robertjoseph cousy, bill russell, john havlicek and David Cowens, Bird has selfless team spirit. Compared with personal honor, Bird is more concerned about how to help his teammates and the team play their best. Compared with the legendary superstars of his predecessors, Bird is better at mobilizing fans' emotions and controlling the game.

As the key to Celtic reconstruction, Bird helped the club get rid of the poor performance and market downturn in the late 1970s. Under his leadership, the team has become more and more perfect. * * * won three NBA championships and 10 Atlantic Division champion. While winning three rings, Bird also won numerous personal honors. He is the third player in NBA history to win the MVP of the regular season three times in a row, and the first non-center player to win this honor. 12 was selected as an all-star team, 2 finals MVP, 9 NBA first-team players and 4 league free throw kings.

Bird is a stubborn perfectionist about basketball, which makes Boston fans and many followers of orthodox basketball regard him as an idol. He has an extraordinary vision on the court, and often makes incredible 35-foot+long shots under the tight defense of opponents, which fascinates fans.

"larry bird has changed the taste and concept of a whole generation of basketball fans to appreciate the NBA." When Bird 1992 won the basketball gold medal in the Barcelona Olympic Games with the dream team and had to retire due to back injury, david stern, president of the league, made such a lofty evaluation of him.

Bird's legend began in a small town called Lick, France, where he was born, and his family lived a simple life. The town of Lick, France has a population of 2059. Whenever the local Springs Valley High School holds a family men's basketball game, most people in the town will go to watch the game and cheer for a blond boy named larry bird.

Although Bird had to miss most of the season because of an ankle injury when he was a sophomore at Spring Valley High School, he still became a new star of attention. Young Larry became a local celebrity because of the score of 19 and 2 losses in Springs Valley. Although the Byrd family can't afford their own car yet, the car fans in the town are happy to take it. In the year that Byrd graduated, he set a new school scoring record. When he participated in the school home game for the last time, about 4000 fans came to support him.

Byrd later found it much more difficult to adapt to college life. At first, he chose Indiana University, a famous basketball school with legendary NCAA coach Bobby Knight, but left only two days later. Then he returned to Northwood College in his hometown, but soon left. Finally, he came to Indiana State University and stayed there until graduation.

Bird's first home game at Indiana State University was watched by about 31000 spectators. As he did at Spring Valley High School, Bird turned the team around by himself. In his first game after joining fig, Larry got an amazing average of 30+ and 65,438+00+rebounds per game. Because of his outstanding performance, the ticket sales of the team tripled throughout the season, and the TV station also replaced the advertisements with Larry's highlights. Many students skip classes early and queue up to buy tickets.

"larry bird Basketball" is the most popular sport in Treehot (home of Indiana State University).

In the final year of college, Bird led the Banyan team to be invincible in the NCAA, winning 33 consecutive victories, until he met the Michigan State University basketball team led by a 6-foot-9 point guard named Magic Johnson in the finals. This is one of the most famous finals in NCAA history, and it is also the most concerned college basketball game in the next 25 years. Although fig team lost the final, Bird won the naismith Prize and the john wooden Award for Best College Basketball Player of the Year. He is also the fifth highest scoring player in NCAA history. In the years of owning Bird, the fig team created an amazing record of 8 1 win 13 losses.

As early as 1978, the Boston Celtics selected Bird in the sixth place. At that time, they thought Bird was fully capable of playing NBA, so they tried to persuade him to give up his last year of college and go straight to play professional basketball. Bird rejected such a suggestion, but it was undoubtedly worthwhile for the team to wait for him for another year. In the 77-78 season, the Celtics' record was 32 wins and 50 losses, which was the worst since 1949. The Celtics set a new low of 29 wins and 53 losses in the 78-79 season because Bird had to finish his studies and delayed joining the NBA for one year. But with Bird 1979 arriving in Boston, it marked the beginning of the greatest turning point in NBA history.

In the following 79-80 season, the Celtics won 32 games, and regained the division championship with 665,438+0 wins and 265,438+0 losses. In a total of ***82 games, rookie Bird ranked first in scoring (2 1 minute per game), rebounding (10.4), breaking the ball (143) and playing time (2,955 minutes), while assisting (4.4% per game). Although Magic Johnson, who entered the NBA in the same year, also made amazing performances to help the Lakers win the championship, Bird was elected as the best rookie of the season and was selected for the first time in the All-Star team.

For the rest of the following season, the Boston Celtics won center robert parish and sixth man kevin mchale through what is considered to be the most cost-effective player deal in NBA history. Their super front line with Bird and Cedric Maxwell finally took the Celtics to the 80-8 1 season championship. Among them, the Eastern Conference final against Philadelphia 76ers is a historical classic. The Celtics first fell behind by 1:3, and then turned the tables on the cliff. In the final, Celtic defeated Houston Rockets led by moses malone 4-2. In his second year in the NBA, Bird ranked first in scoring (averaging 265,438+0.2 points), rebounding (65,438+00.9), stealing (65,438+0,665,438+0) and playing time (3,239 minutes).

Bird's skill not only attracted a large number of fans to watch his game at Boston Garden Stadium, but also was crowded when he was far away from home. Together with the magician, he saved the already bleak NBA market and helped the league realize its new slogan: incredible NBA performance. In just two seasons, fans, coaches and players all know what the name Bird means: big data and performance at critical moments. His concentration and composure in the game made it difficult for him to be defeated, and his superb shooting skills from childhood helped him to be invincible in the attack. In those days, no shooter was as good and stable as Bird.

Birds are the embodiment of Celtic honor. He is an elegant, confident and diligent player who likes to meet challenges under pressure and help his teammates do their best.

Since the 198 1-82 season, Bird has been selected as the second defensive team in the NBA for three times in a row. Although he looks a little slow, he is not the best one-on-one defensive player. However, with his super anticipation and position, he became an excellent defender. His insight into the game always gives him a head start on his opponent.

Since the 1983-84 season, Bird has been elected MVP in the regular season for three consecutive years, making him the third person in NBA history to win this honor after Russell and Chamberlain. In the finals of 1984 against the Los Angeles Lakers, Bird and Celtic finally won the seventh decisive battle. This is the first time that he and Magic have met in the playoffs since 1979 NCAA Finals. In the fifth game, Bird scored 34 points to help the Celtics win with 12 1- 103. In the crucial seventh game, Bird scored 20 points 12 rebounds to help the team win with1-/. With the contribution of averaging 27.4 points 14 rebounds in seven finals, Bird deserves to be the MVP of the finals.

1984-85 season, Bird's average score reached a new high, reaching 28.7, ranking second in the league, which is also the second highest season score of Bird's entire career. Among them, he scored a personal record of 60 points in a game against Atlanta Hawks. At the same time, Bird scored 56 three-pointers 13 1 in the season, ranking second in the league with 42.7% shooting percentage. The Celtics lost 4-2 to the Lakers in this year's finals because of Bird's elbow and finger injuries, but Bird still won his second regular-season MVP trophy at the end of the season.

The following season, Celtic won the16th championship in history, and Bird reached the peak of his career. During this year, his personal honors include: regular season MVP, finals MVP, sports man of the year, associated press male athlete of the year. In addition to the three-point shooting rate and free throw shooting rate ranked first in the league, other personal data are also among the best. He even performed a stunt in the All-Star Weekend Three-Point Competition and won his first Three-Point Competition. Under the leadership of Byrd, the Celtics created a record of 67 wins 15 losses. In the finals, Bird helped the team beat Houston Rockets 4-2 again with a quasi-triple-double performance averaging 24.0 points, 9.7 rebounds and 9.5 assists. In the crucial sixth game, Bird scored 29 points, 1 1 rebounds and 12 assists, which undoubtedly made him the MVP of the finals for the second time.

1986-87 season, Bird's performance was equally amazing. He became the first player in NBA history to hit more than 50% (actually 52.5%) and 90% (actually 9 1.0%) from free throws. The following season, he proved that it was not a flash in the pan in the classic Byrd way-52.7% shooting percentage and 9 1.6% shooting percentage from free throws broke the record again. At the same time, these two seasons have maintained a personal data of 28+ 9 rebounds +6 assists per game.

As we all know, Bird is a cunning defensive player. His most famous performance was in the fifth game of 1987 Eastern Conference finals against Detroit Pistons. At that time, with 5 seconds left in the game, the Celtics were one point behind by 106- 107, and the Detroit people had the right to serve. It is predicted that Thomas' touchline ball will be sent to ranbir, and Bird grabbed the ball before ranbir and quickly distributed it to teammate dennis johnson, who hit the buzzer and turned the ball into victory. After this battle, the Celtics finally defeated the Pistons in seven games to become the Eastern Conference champion and entered the finals for the fourth time in a row.

At this time, Bird is a 30-year-old veteran, and his dream of a fourth championship ring is blocked by his increasingly serious back injury and foot injury. But he still acts like a superman from time to time in the competition.

1987-88 season, Bird became the first player in Celtic history to score 40+ rebounds and 20+ in a single game. Bird scored 42 points and 20 rebounds against Indiana Pacers. This year, his average score of 29.9 is also the highest in his career. This season, Bird also achieved his feat of winning the three-point championship three times in a row, which was only achieved by craig hodges (1990-92) of Chicago Bulls.

In this year's Eastern Conference semi-final with Atlanta Hawks, the duel between Bird and dominique wilkins of the Hawks in the fourth quarter was a classic. Bird scored 20 points in the last quarter, which made the Celtics finally win-although he still suffered from severe bronchitis.

In the 88-89 season, Bird played only six games because of the operation to remove the heel spur. The following season, Bird made 7 1 consecutive free throws, the third highest in NBA history. In the 90-9 1 season, Bird missed 22 games because of back neuralgia, which finally forced Bird to retire on 1992. In the fifth game of the first round of the 90-9 1 playoffs against the Indiana Pacers, Bird fell heavily in the second quarter, causing injuries to his face and back. But he came back in the third quarter and helped the Celtics win by 124- 12 1 The doctor operated on his back at the end of the season, but it didn't seem to work.

199 1-92 was bird's last season, and he missed 37 games because of a back injury. In a nationally televised game against Portland Trailblazers in March, Bird reappeared his true colors as a key player-he scored 65,438+06 points in the fourth quarter and won the last nine points of the Celtics, including a three-pointer that changed the outcome with the last two seconds left in the game! After two overtime, Boston finally won by 152- 148. Bird scored 49 points 14 rebounds 12 assists and 4 steals in this game.

"As long as Bird is still on the court, it is possible to create miracles." Drexler, a superstar of Portland Trailblazers, told the Boston Express after the game.

If there is only one obvious low-level mistake in Bird's career, it is that in the fourth game of his playoff game against Cleveland Cavaliers last season, Bird missed an ordinary layup in overtime, which caused the Celtics to lose the game with112-114. Cleveland Cavaliers finally eliminated the Celtics with a total score of 4:3. Of the four games lost by the Celtics, Bird was unable to play for three because of a back injury.

It's time for Bird to retire, but before that, he has to fulfill a wish, that is, to join the American Dream Team 1992 and win the basketball gold medal in the Barcelona Olympic Games, thus drawing a perfect end to his career.

When the 1992-93 season approached, Bird made the final decision. On August 18, he officially announced his retirement to the media. In the 897 games that lasted 13 season, Bird * * * averaged 2 1, 79 1 minute, 8,974 rebounds and 5,695 assists, averaging 24.3 rebounds and 6.310 assists. Career shooting percentage is 49.6% and free throw percentage is 88.6%.

Bird then chose to be a manager at the Celtic Club, whose main responsibility was to evaluate the players' ability and performance. In fact, he spent most of the five years after retirement on a golf course in Florida. Sometimes I take part in some business activities, or make a guest appearance in movies, such as Michael Jordan's Dunk in the Air.

Nevertheless, due to the lack of competition, Bird's life began to become boring, and there were more and more ideas about returning to the NBA to take a more challenging position. 1996-97 When the Celtics hit bottom, Bird had hoped that he could become the coach of the team reorganization. However, when the Celtics appointed Rick Pitino as the new team president and head coach, Bird knew that he had no other position to choose from in Boston, so he decided to quit his job and go back to his hometown of Indiana to find another development.

1997 May 12, Bird was appointed as the head coach of Indiana Pacers. Although he has never coached a game before, no one will doubt Bird's command talent.

"This guy has everything I can think of every day," Pacers President Joseph Donald Walsh Jr. said of Bird. "I hope that our high schools, universities and professional basketball can develop together and complement each other. Bird is such an iconic figure. I fully believe that he will become an excellent head coach. "

"He has a charming charm. When he speaks, you will be unconsciously brought into his world. This is a must for a head coach. "

"As a coach, I am still a novice, but I think I have the ability to do this job well." Bird told the media, "I have enough experience and knowledge about basketball, and I will lead everyone to do what is right and necessary to win the game."

During his three-year coaching career, Bird led the team to great achievements. In the first season, the Pacers took reggie miller as the main scoring machine, and achieved the best regular season record in the team's history, with 58 wins and 24 losses, all the way to the Eastern Conference finals. After seven hard games, he lost 3-4 to the defending champion Chicago Bulls led by Jordan. Bird himself won the NBA coach of the year. In the 1998-99 season, the Pacers reached the Eastern Conference finals again, this time losing to the new york Knicks. In the 99-2000 season, Bird led the Pacers to make a comeback, and finally defeated the Knicks in the Eastern Conference finals in six games, and got revenge. Although he lost to the Los Angeles Lakers led by KO in the finals, the great changes that Bird brought to the Pacers can be said to be obvious to all.

After losing in the finals, Bird resigned as head coach. After three years' rest, Bird came out as the president of the basketball department of the Pacers. At the beginning of his tenure, he fired the team coach isiah thomas and replaced him with his assistant rick carlisle, who was the head coach of the Pacers. Although the Pacers lost veteran reggie miller in 2005, a number of young stars such as Jermaine O 'Neill, Artest, Stephen Jackson and Jamal Tinsley have matured day by day. The team has good strength in all positions and reasonable age structure, and is recognized as a first-class strong team in the league. In Bird's mind, there is no doubt that he has only one goal-to lead the team to win the championship. Let's wait and see.
