It has been 3 seconds since I heard the legendary story of Wang Zhizhi saying that he defeated the Slovenian team in 2006 and led the Chinese men's basketball team to miraculously reach the round of 16 of the World Championships!
This is the greatest killer goal in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team, which was completed by three Slovenian players chasing and blocking, and the difficulty can be imagined!
And today's protagonist is one of the three, Benno Yudri wearing the No. 9 jersey.
Although this brother is not very famous, he is a footnote to the great achievements of the Chinese basketball world, and it is worth mentioning.
A few days ago, Yudri, who was working as a player development coach at the Pelicans, suddenly announced his official retirement in personal social media, ending his 13-year NBA career.
A development coach announces his retirement, which is strange! In fact, he was able to officially announce his retirement in the summer of 17 years and let himself leave with dignity, but he would not say goodbye until 4 years later.
Quite simply, at the end of the 16-17 season, Yudri did not get a new contract, but he was reluctant to always seek the opportunity to return, but the 40-year-old was still not matched by any team, and he had no choice but to accept reality.
Yudri's NBA experience is very exciting, in 2004 by the Spurs with the 28th pick in the first round, soon came to the fore, was elected the best rookie in the West in December of that year, the luckiest was to hold the thigh successfully, the rookie season with the team to win the championship, that year during the playoffs he played in 21 games averaged 11.5 minutes per game to get 3.7 points 0.8 board 1 assist, strictly speaking, not a lie crown.
After a year, Yudri won the championship with the Spurs again (06-07 season), but this time he was the water dispenser in the water dispenser, averaging 2.5 points in 8 games in the playoffs to get a negligible 0.3 points 0.1 board 0.1 assist, and then parted ways with the Spurs, was traded to the Timberwolves, and then let the cut and then switched to the Kings.
Because of this, Yudri mistakenly walked on the kangzhuang road, came to the Kings and was reused as never before, sitting in the main position in the first year, averaging 12.8 points per game in double-figures, and personally won a five-year, $32 million contract extension in July 2008.
The 4 years of playing for the Kings are very good, most of the games are the main force on the board, but it is extremely short, in the summer of 11 years Yudri came to the Bucks as an outcast in the three-way trade, but the glory is no longer there, and it is back to the days when he can only spend time on the bench, and his personal wandering career has begun.
From 11 to 17 years, Yudri actually switched 6 teams, which was equivalent to changing teams in 1 year, which was usually the prelude to the player's complete elimination, and finally the Pistons became his finish line.
He played in 831 games in his career, averaging 8.4 points, 2.1 boards and 3.4 assists in 21.9 minutes per game, shooting 46.3%, 34.9% and 83.3% from the three main shooting ranges.
In general, Yudri is still a bit of an achievement, just the two championship rings at the bottom of the pressure box, I don't know how many people envy and hate, high-quality contracts and team main players have also been owned, it is simply a career without regrets!
You know, in the long history of the NBA, the most is a hurried passerby, and even some people have a 28-minute appearance in their entire careers, such as the Lakers' veteran Sun Yue, which is not difficult to admit.
Yudri is indeed incomparable to the front row, but in the back row is the famous top student!
