NBA character Zhirudy Gobert: From being questioned to winning DPOY 4

When the world asked him to bend over, he straightened his back into an iron tower under the basket. Hello, my name is Gobert, welcome to my world.

Gobert's childhood was full of difficulties and separation. His father Rudy Bugarer was from Guadeloupe in the Caribbean, an overseas province in France. Due to his outstanding physical talent, Bugarer soon made some achievements in basketball. He was selected for the French national team and thus met Gobert's mother Corne Gobert, an authentic French white man. Before that, Corne had a marriage history and had two children. Not long after, Bugarert got together with Corne and gave birth to Gobert.

It is worth mentioning that this relationship did not receive the blessing of the Corne family. What's worse is that Corne, who was named "unfilial", was stinged by Bugarer again. Not long after giving birth to Gobert, he ran back to the Caribbean, and since then he cut off contact with the mother and son, leaving only the basketball talent in his genes.

Korne, who lost his family support, could only raise three children alone. They were crowded in an apartment less than 40 square meters and had to work 3 jobs every day to barely make a living. Gobert, in his childhood, quickly showed excellent athletic talent. In order to consume his energy, his mother began to try to get him engaged in sports, karate, boxing, track and field, etc. Yes, due to Bugarer, Kobert did not allow Gobert to play basketball. Until he was 11 years old, his height rose to 1.85 meters, and he was no longer suitable for those sports.

There was no choice but to send his son to the basketball court.

"Basketball is in my genes, I was really too high at that time." Although I received systematic training late, in the basketball world, talent is the king. Although he has no offensive skills, cannot dribble, and cannot send basketball into the basket, but similarly, in front of him, the opponent cannot score. Gobert dominated the rebounds and defense, and his outstanding performance quickly attracted the attention of many scouts.

In just 4 years, Gobert was poached by the Sholai youth team. He joined the adult team at the age of 18, but only played one game. He spent most of the rest in the youth team or the national youth team. His performance was remarkable. He was the scoring and rebounding champion of the U18 European Championship. At the U20 European Championship, he handed in another 7 points, 7 rebounds and 4 blocks per game, which successfully attracted the attention of NBA scouts. However, in 13 years of joint trials, he, who has always appeared as a ruler, felt despised for the first time.

Gobert's static talent is indeed in the first tier, with a height of 2.16 meters and an exaggerated 2.35 meters. However, in the technical and agile tests, his performance was very bad. The agent told Gobert that the hope for the first round would not be too big. The huge gap made the French god forward full of unwillingness. Although it was generally not favored, the Jazz's general manager Lindsey has been silently paying attention to the big man. Seeing those teams overlook Gobert one by one, Lindsey realized that the opportunity had come. He used 3 million cash, plus the No. 46 draw in his hand, to trade the No. 27 draw, and finally got what he wanted.

Although he entered the NBA, this result could not satisfy Gobert. He vowed to make those teams that despise him regret it. In order to maintain this "anger", Gobert chose No. 27 as his jersey number and started his own road of revenge.

In fact, the concerns of those teams are not without reason. Gobert's development in the NBA has also been greatly hindered. In the rookie season, he averaged only 9.2 minutes per game. Most of the time, he was either sitting on the bench and being transferred to the Development League. Until the summer of 2014, Quinn Snyder became the team's head coach. Although it seems that Snyder is a person with a fierce face and sharp eyes, he is very close to the villain in the movie, but in fact, he lives and work very well, and will talk to every player, understand their lives, family, etc.

In the stage of Gobert's self-doubt, Snyder appeared and told Gobert, "I will make you a top defender, do you want to try it together?" Then, Snyder handed Gobert a box of videotapes, which he had cut out four nights, the offensive and defensive video of Howard's magical period, marked the key points and explanations, "Go back and see, and then we start a brand new training tomorrow."

Weight gain, bench press, continuous jump, pick-and-roll, basket confrontation...

Half past the season, Snyder pushed Gobert to the starting position, telling the latter, "It's time to show yourself." Since then, Gobert has gradually become an excellent blue-collar center. As he progresses, the Jazz has also slowly completed the reconstruction, returned to the playoffs, and rejoined the championship.

During his 9 years of playing for the Jazz, Gobert was selected into the All-Star three times, the Best Team three times, and the Best Defensive Team four times, holding 2 block kings and 3 DPOY trophys. Snyder did not break his promise. He indeed made Gobert the top defender in the NBA, who also won 5 years of US$205 million, the center with the largest contract in NBA history.

However, as the team stopped in the first and second rounds again and again, people also questioned the abilities of the pair of masters and apprentices, especially Gobert, who lacked offensive ability. In the summer of 222, under pressure, Gobert announced his resignation. Gobert, who lost his mentor, was also full of concern about his future in the team and was eventually traded to the Timberwolves. Faced with overwhelming accusations and doubts, Gobert never responded positively. He knew nothing was more convincing than results. In the data, Gobert has not changed any changes, and he is still at the average level of 14+12+2 per game, but his defense has really changed the Timberwolves. With his help, the Wolves have become one of the most resilient teams in the league and have reached the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive years..

When Gobert got a three-year, 110 million contract renewal again, all the rumors were self-defeating. At the same time, he also announced that although the small ball eliminated many classical centers, he was still the giants in the penalty area.
