On July 19, 1985, in a hospital in Dallas, Texas, a black baby was born, and the doctor in charge of delivering the baby tested the newborn and found that there was an incurable congenital defect in his heart, and wrote the diagnosis of clinical death on the birth test.
The persistence of the baby's mother allowed the poor child to survive the efforts of the doctor, but congenital heart disease still became a hidden danger for his life.
Like many black children, there is not much paternal companionship in this child's upbringing. His father was a great drunkard, living in drunken dreams every day, and the burden of the family fell on the mother of the child. But in a black family in the United States, a woman's job is difficult to make the family rich even if it is subsistence, and sleeping with hunger has become a common thing for this child when he was a child.
Although the father of this child did not fulfill his father's responsibilities, he still left his excellent body genes to his child.
When the child was in the 4th grade, he was already taller than his peers by a head, and because the nutrition of his childhood did not keep up, it was difficult for him to control his balance, and when his friends played basketball, he was often just a spectator, because no one wanted to be teammates with him.
By the time of the 5th grade, the child had lost his father and was truly beginning to live with his mother.
When he was in the 8th grade, he had grown to 2.01 meters, such a huge height did not bring him excitement, sitting on the sidelines to watch others play the day is still going on, in the memory of this time, he once bluntly said that his level at that time was too poor, he could not shoot at all, even the hooker action could not be done, he could only score on the head of people who were much shorter than himself. Sometimes, he also plays on the court, and the biggest role on the field is to make a moving wall, take advantage of the height advantage, and divide the ball when he receives it.
Of course, his mother never imagined that her son would become a basketball star in the future, she just wanted her children to have some fun buddies.
That took a turn for the worse as he progressed to high school.
Robert Allen, the basketball coach at his high school, found that this tall child was full of interest in basketball, but the movement was very clumsy and could not fit into the team, so the coach found the boy's mother, expressed his desire to train the big boy who looked good, and said that the child's mother did enough logistics to ensure his daily nutrition and enough rest.
Just after his coach and his mother reached a cooperation matter, the big boy had a very big change, the coach started from the physical fitness, developed a series of training plans for him, under the strict supervision of the coach and his mother, this high school student survived, and became a small local famous basketball star in high school, averaging 30 points and 14 rebounds per game, and was selected as the all-Star of McDonald's High School that year.
When O'Neill came to Dallas to play, he invited him to dinner, and since then, O'Neill has become another mentor for the boy.
When he became a high school star, many NCAA schools extended an olive branch to him, and two years before graduating from high school, many people came to contact him. But after measuring it, he and his mother decided that the child should still be at ease with high school, and as for the enrollment, it was up to his mother.
In the last semester of high school, the child wanted to skip college and go directly to the NBA draft, but at this time, when he invited him to dinner, O'Neill told himself that if he did not go to college, his life would be missing a very important part, and at the same time, O'Neill advised himself not to let his mother down.
Under O'Neill's influence and his mother's discretion, he entered the University of Texas.
In the 2005-06 NCAA season, he averaged 15.0 points and 9.2 rebounds per game in the second grade, and was named the best defensive player in the big twelve divisions and was selected to the first team of the best team in the twelfth division. He has excellent low-post singles and a good mid-range jump shot. The basic skills of the basket attack are solid and the pace is flexible. Good at fast attack, long arm span.
In April 2006, toward the end of his sophomore year, the future NBA All-Star announced that he would be leaving school for the NBA Draft.
At the 2006 NBA Draft, the Chicago Bulls selected a 2.11-meter tall, 113-kilogram big forward from the University of Texas with the second pick in the first round, and then made a trade with the Portland Trail Blazers, which he used in exchange for the signing rights of Terrence Thomas Gavict Coriapa in the first round of the 2006 fourth-round show.
This is the story of today's protagonist, LaMarcus Aldridge.
In 2006, after being traded to the Blazers after the draft, Ard's mother, Georgia, was also full of joy for Portland, while Ard was forced to miss the first six games of the summer league, preseason and even regular season of his rookie season due to injury.
Good food is not afraid of late, it will always come.
On November 12, 2006, local time, on the day of Singles' Day in 2006, Beijing time, the Blazers played at home against the Lone Ranger, Roy was absent, and Aldridge ushered in the first regular season game of his NBA career, came off the bench, got 19 minutes of playing time, shot 5 of 9, and got 10 points and 8 rebounds. The first official match was against his hometown team, against now a historic striker Nowitzki.
The Blazers of this period were Zaklandov, and the main players of the team were Jarret Jack and Uduka. At 1/4 of the regular season, Roy returned from injury.
In the first season of the Blazers, Aldridge did not get too many opportunities because of the crowding of the interior, and after the All-Star, Randolph was injured, and Ade gradually gained more playing time.
In the 06-07 season, Ade played 63 regular season games, started 22 times, averaged 22.1 minutes per game, had 9 points, 5 rebounds, 1.16 blocks and 6 double-doubles, and was the king of the rookies. In the selection of the best rookie team, Aldridge was successfully selected for a team. The Trail Blazers finished 12th in the West with 32 wins and 50 losses in the regular season and missed the playoffs.
In the 07-08 season, Aldridge ushered in the outbreak, starting all 76 regular season games, averaging 34.9 minutes per game, with 17.8 points, 7.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.2 blocks. Teammates around roy and Jack, the Blazers 41 wins and 41 losses, ranked tenth in the West, once again missed the playoffs.
In the 08-09 season, Ade played 81 regular season games, all of which started, averaging 37.1 minutes per game, 18.1 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. There was still Roy around, as well as Otterlo, Rodriguez and others. The Trail Blazers finished fourth in the West with 54 wins and 28 losses in the regular season, losing 2-4 to the Rockets in the first round of the playoffs.
In the 09-10 season, 78 regular season games, Ade started all, averaged 37.5 minutes per game, had 17.9 points, 8 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.6 blocks, and his teammates were Roy, Miller Sr., Oden. The Trail Blazers finished sixth in the West with 50 wins and 32 losses in the regular season and lost 2-4 to the Suns in the first round of the playoffs.
In the 10-11 season, Ade started and played 81 regular season games, averaging 39.6 minutes per game, with 21.8 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1 steal and 1.2 blocks. This is Roy's last season, Ade has become the team's number one scorer, and his teammates have become JJ Hickson, Ke Six, Batum, Matthews, and Miller Sr. The Trail Blazers finished sixth in the West with 48 wins and 34 losses in the regular season, losing 2-4 to the Dallas Mavericks in the first round of the playoffs, once again stopping the first round of the playoffs.
In the 11-12 season, Ade started in 55 regular season games, averaging 36.3 minutes of playing time per game, 21.7 points, 8 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.8 blocks. This season, the Trail Blazers have only a record of 28 wins and 38 losses, ranking 11th in the West. In addition to Ad, the Blazers' main players include Batum, Crawford, Hickson, Matthews, Gerald Wallace and so on.
In the 12-13 season, Ade played 74 regular season games, all of which started, averaging 37.7 minutes per game, averaging 21.1 points, 9.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.2 blocks per game. At the beginning of this season, the defenders around Ader have changed from yellow mamba to lee coaches, and with batum, Matthews and Hickson, the Blazers lineup centered on Ad + Lillard has begun to take shape. This season, the Blazers are 33-49 in the regular season, ranking 11th in the West and still missing the playoffs.
In the 13-14 season, Aldridge continued to grow, he started 69 regular season games, averaged 36.2 minutes per game, had 23.2 points, 11.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 0.9 steals and 1 block, averaged double-doubles per game for the first season of his career, the Blazers ranked fifth in the West with a 54-28 regular season record under his and Lillard's leadership, defeated harden-led Rockets 4-2 in the first round of the playoffs, and lost 1-4 to the Spurs, the championship of the year. The shift in the Trail Blazers' main roster this season is Hickson becoming Lopez Jr.
In his 14-15 season in Portland, Ade played 71 regular season games, averaging 23.4 points, 10.2 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.7 steals and 1 block in the 51-31 losses of the Blazers, losing 1-4 in the first round of the playoffs to the Grizzlies led by black and white. This season's trailblazer, CJ, arrives.
The most respectable group of five
On June 26, 2015, The Columbian reported that LaMarcus Aldridge, whose contract expired, had informed the Blazers that he would not stay in the team. During the Blazers' nine seasons, Aldridge played 648 regular-season games for Portland, averaging 19.4 points, 8.4 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 35.5 minutes per game, during which time he was selected as an All-Star four times.
On July 10, 2015, the San Antonio Spurs official website announced the official signing of LaMarcus Aldridge. The latter will wear the Number 12 jersey of retired Spurs star Bruce Bowen.
In the 15-16 season, the Spurs' first season, Aldridge made 74 starts, averaged 30.5 minutes per game, and had 18 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.5 steals and 1.1 blocks, scoring second on the team and first in rebounding. This season's Spurs, along with Duncan, Parker, Ginobili and Leonard, finished second in the West with a 67-15 record in the regular season. The playoffs eliminated the Grizzlies 4-0 in the first round and the Thunder 4-2 in the second round.
In the 16-17 season, Duncan retired, Gasol joined, and Ade made 72 regular-season starts, averaging 32.4 minutes per game, with 17.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.2 blocks. This season, Parker, Leonard, Ginobili are still there, the Spurs are second in the Regular Season 61 wins and 21 losses to the West, the first round of the playoffs 4-2 to the Grizzlies, the second round 4-2 to the Rockets, and the Western Conference Finals 0-4 by the Warriors.
In the 17-18 season, Leonard missed almost the entire season, Parker traveled to the East, and Ade played 75 regular season games, averaging 33.5 minutes per game, with 23.1 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2 assists and 1.2 blocks. The Spurs officially began to decline, and they finished seventh in the West with 47 wins and 35 losses in the regular season, and lost 1-4 to their old rival Warriors in the first round of the playoffs.
In the 18-19 season, Ade played 81 games in the regular season, averaging 33.2 minutes per game, 21.3 points, 9.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.3 blocks, DeRozan and Jr. swap owners, Ginobili retired, the Spurs ranked seventh in the West with 48 wins and 34 losses in the regular season, and lost 3-4 to the Nuggets in the first round of the playoffs. It was also Aldridge's most recent playoff trip.
In the 19-20 season, an incomplete season, Ader played 53 regular season games, averaging 33.1 minutes per game, and had 18.9 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.6 blocks. The Spurs have completely turned into a weak team this season, with only 32 wins and 39 losses in the regular season, ranking 11th in the West, the first time San Antonio missed the playoffs since Duncan was selected by the Spurs with the first pick in the first round in 1997. It was Ader's last full season at the Spurs.
On March 7, 2021, Spurs forward LaMarcus Aldridge is likely to seek a buyout. On March 26, the Spurs announced an official buyout of Aldridge, who became a full free agent after a clarification period (48 hours).
In the 2019-2020 season, the Spurs won 32-39 in the regular season, ranking 11th in the West, missing the playoffs, as the absolute boss of the team, in the summer of 2020, Aldridge made a request for a trade to the general manager and head coach Popovich, for which Popovich was deeply surprised, in his impression, no player will take the initiative to find him and apply for a trade with him.
This kind of trade request is indeed a bit of a surprise for Bobo, but as far as the Spurs' lineup at that stage and the depression after the GDP retirement, there is no point in forced retention.
On March 28, 2021, Aldridge signed a one-year veteran base salary contract with the Brooklyn Nets.
On April 15, 2021, LaMarcus Aldridge announced his retirement due to heart problems.
On September 4, 2021, agent Jeff Schwartz revealed that LaMarcus Aldridge will return to the Nets.
So far this season, Aldridge has made 19 appearances for the Nets, started two times, averaged 22.1 minutes per game, and had 13.8 points and 5.9 rebounds. He's pretty much at his lowest level since his rookie season, but one is his career-highest shooting percentage. He shot 58 percent from the field, the highest of any player in the Nets, shooting 40.3 percent from the field, and so far ranks first among all players in the NBA this season.
For Aldridge, his life is also magical, from the clinical death at birth, the congenital heart disease that accompanied his life, to the Portland hope with the yellow mamba, watching Roy's decline, and then to the duo with Lillard, again and again in the playoffs to usher in regrets, and followed his predecessor Duncan to the well-architected Spurs, found another All-Star guard DeRozan, and finally pursued a championship ring to the Nets at the end of his career, but at the most important moment, Fate went around and played a huge joke with him, and the heart disease recurred at this time.
And looking at the turning points in his NBA career, it is indeed one after another.
First, if the Bull had left him behind, and then waited until the arrival of 100% Rose, the post-Jordan bull would have reached its peak again.
Second, if Roy stays healthy, Kobe Bryant's most powerful point guard, plus a Duncan-level big forward, Portland's second championship may have come true in the 1910s.
Again, if Duncan can be a few years younger, Manu insists on two more years, Parker's speed has not changed and he chooses to stay with the Spurs, and The little card is still the all-round warrior who has worked hard to defend, will the Spurs' trophy that won in odd years be engraved with La Marcus's name?
Finally, if Ade did not retire at the beginning of the year, Irving was not put on the foot, Harden was not tired, or Nash was not the head coach, maybe he could retire after receiving the ring and retire to maintain his heart.
Of course, with Ade, Rose estimates that he can't go to the Bulls, Roy's health is a harsh demand, the Spurs are even more idiotic, and the situation of the Nets is not simply subjective and objective.
Now that he's back, since he's back to the Nets again, and since Nash trusts him enough, Ade is one step closer to his first championship ring in the NBA.
Ends the article in one sentence.
Aldridge: The future is unknowable, but it can be expected!
PS: I still like Ade the most in the Blazers period, although I don't have too good results, but I love because I love.
