Late at night on May 9, Beijing time, american media reported the unexpected death of former NBA player Adrian Payne, aged 31. At that time, the reason for Payne's death was not disclosed at the first time, and the American media only revealed that his death was not due to family hereditary asthma (Payne's mother died of asthma), but an accident.
In the early morning of May 10, police in Orange County, California, subsequently issued an announcement confirming that Payne had been shot and killed. After being shot, Payne was promptly taken to the hospital for treatment, but eventually died. Orange County police revealed that the suspect has been arrested.
After learning of Payne's death, NBA officials and the Timberwolves, who Penn had played for, both expressed their condolences. Born in 1991, Payne was selected by the Hawks with the 15th pick in the first round of the 2014 NBA Draft, and then played for the Hawks, Timberwolves and Magic, averaging 4 points and 2.9 rebounds per game in the NBA.

Play big cards
"Let the high-speed rail not drive first, wait for me for a while"
It is worth mentioning that After Payne was cut by the Magic in January 2018, he joined CBA team Nanjing Tongxi in July of that year. But his CBA path has not been smooth, playing only 8 games for Tongxi, and Payne has a single-game high of 23 points, with only two games rebounding in doubles. After being cut off by Nanjing Tongxi in 2018, Chen Guangchuan, chairman of Tongxi, exposed many of Payne's "bad deeds" in an interview with the media, such as "playing big cards", he was not active in running on the field, but he was still angry with his teammates; he refused daily training on the grounds that the foot injury had not healed, but before the game, he said that his "foot injury" was already good and he could participate in the game.
Chen Guangchuan said at the time that the final decision of the Tongxi men's basketball team to cut Payne was because the team took the high-speed rail to the field once, when the whole team was assembled at the high-speed rail station. It was about to be the departure time, but there was still no sign of Payne, the staff had a hard time getting through Payne's phone, but the latter's reply on the phone made people cry and laugh: "Let the high-speed rail not drive first, wait for me for a while!" ”
This magical remark and game attitude became the last straw that overwhelmed Payne, and he was eventually replaced by "one-eyed foreign aid" Austin. At that time, the Coaching Staff of the Tongxi Men's Basketball Team also said that in the face of foreign aid like Payne, no matter how big the name will not give a chance!
Have love
He used to send warmth to a little girl with cancer
Despite leaving a rather poor reputation in the CBA, Payne has no lack of warmth in life. When he was still playing at Michigan State University, he met a little girl with cancer, Lacey, and the two quickly formed a brother-sister relationship. Payne accompanied Lacey through the last part of her 8-year-old life, and after he led the University of Michigan to win the NCAA Division championship, he also carried Lacey up the ladder to cut the net, and Lacey smiled very happily. After Lacey's death, Payne cried all night and could not get out of the incident, and it is difficult to say whether his subsequent behavior was hit by Lacey's death.

After leaving the CBA in 2018, the news that Payne was that he was shot and killed again was undoubtedly lamentable.
