Recently, Pelicans player Adams talked about the upcoming Tokyo Olympics. At the Tokyo Olympics, the Adams family will be the main athletes of the New Zealand Olympic team. Among them, Adams's sister Valerie Adams will participate in the Tokyo Olympic Games, and her sister Lisa Adams is also a member of the Paralympic Games. In contrast, the New Zealand men's basketball team did not have the opportunity to participate in the Olympic Games, and Adams himself could only watch the game from home, cheering for his sister and sister.
This is the 36-year-old Valerie Adams' fifth Olympic shot put competition, and she is on track to win her fourth Olympic medal. Previously, she won gold medals at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and 2012 London Olympics, and silver at Rio 2016.
Sister Lisa Adams, an athlete in the round of 37 in the shot put event, threw 15.28 meters in September 2020, becoming the world record holder. Lisa's success, on the one hand, is that her sister Valerie is her coach, and on the other hand, the adams family's unmatched athletic talent.
Adams' father, Sid Adams, was reportedly British and became a New Zealand citizen after serving in the Royal Navy. Sid had as many as 18 children with 5 different women, of whom Adams was the youngest. Due to their father's tall and powerful genetic lineage, most of these children have inherited their father's talents.
Valerie is 1.93 meters tall and weighs up to 240 kilograms, which is a very scary figure placed on a woman. But even more frightening, for people like Valerie, the Adams family had 18. Even in the family photo, Adams, who is 2.11 meters tall, will not look different. In this year's Olympic event, Adams' sister and sister will have the opportunity to receive higher glory.
Adams is strong enough to be in the NBA. But compared with his sister and sister, his honor and strength are weak.
