In the minds of many of us
Sakuragi Hanamichi in Slam Dunk Master
The prototype is Rodman of the Bull period
They have a well-behaved personality
They all have bright red hair
They're all paranoid to crazy "rebounding idiots"
But actually
Sakuragi and big bugs
Probably really doesn't matter
The manga began in '89 and ended in '96
And Rodman's classic save
It happened on February 22, 1997
Apparently, Yuhiko Inoue does not have the ability to foresee the future
So, what kind of character is Rodman?
May 13, 1961
Rodman was born into a poor family in New Jersey
His father ran away from home when he was three years old
Young Rodman not only lacked his father's love
It also migrated to grow up in the dirtiest and messier environment of Dallas
As a result, Rodman's personality becomes very strange
He was in a later autobiography
More than once, he was angry at his father and resented his family
For the black kids in the slums
Sport is the best shortcut for them to change their lives
Rodman also spent all day hanging out on the field
But he has poor coordination and can't get to the basket
And only 1.75 meters tall after graduating from high school
It is destined not to be favored by any university
But "the sky is the way to infinity"
Just when his mother was about to give up on him
Rodman's body began to develop rapidly
As far as I recall, it probably only took one summer
Rodman's height jumped 25 centimeters
In his mother's words, "He grows taller every day."
finally
Rodman found the goal of life
Went to Oklahoma
Start a normal college basketball career
Because 19 years old is the real sense of contact with basketball
Rodman had to do the job of grabbing rebounds
But it's unexpected
Aggressive, mischievous personality
It just happens to be in harmony with his style of play
Making Rodman a "rebounding monster"
Despite being only 2.01 meters tall
But he did in '91-'98
Seven consecutive NBA rebounding kings
This is definitely a very impressive feat
God closes a door for you
It will open a window for you
Although suffering from too many childhood shadows
But on the road to professional basketball
Rodman meets all "nobles"
When I first entered the league
He's just a water dispenser keeper for the Pistons' Bad Boy Corps
But then-head coach Chuck Daly
Always give Rodman the greatest encouragement
The years of Chuck Daly's leadership
Rodman would call Daly "Daddy."
That's right, the big worm that lacks paternal love
Became unusually docile around Daly
Rodman helped the Pistons win two championships
Also with Boston, with the early Jordan
These experiences have had a very positive effect on his career
Chuck Daly stepped back from the front line
Rodman began to become unruly again
But in the bull period
He met Zen masters of a completely different style
The Zen master wouldn't discipline him like Daly did
It's about embracing him and giving him privileges
Instead, rodman was able to restrain himself
Started to focus on performance on the field
It also achieved the Bulls' second triple crown
Rodman for Joe's helper
There is also a little-known anecdote
Rodman was still in the Pistons
He capped Jordan off and spewed trash talk
Try to overwhelm your opponent with momentum
However, what he never expected was
Jordan after eating the hot pot
Four consecutive blocks for Rodman
And arrogantly took away the victory and turned away
Since then
The great worm began to fear God
And in the years that followed
Charge into battle, go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire
Dennis Rodman
In the spotlight is an extremely conceited player
But all this is exaggerated appearance
All stem from his deep inner sensitivity and inferiority
All the ridiculous things he did
It's all about getting the public's attention
And bo pays attention to the original intention
It's probably all about making up for the loneliness of being abandoned in childhood
Rodman is a player with distinctive characteristics
He was fierce, but not dirty
He is arrogant, but not bad
He's a top rebounder in history
He was a pure boy with a lot of ill intentions but no faith in life
