Lonnie Walker at this moment, can't tell if he is tired or excited;
Sitting on the pitch where the smoke was dissipating, allowing sweat to flow to his chest that heaved with gasps, and gazing at the dazzling 15 points on the final statistics list, he finally smiled with relief.
What makes everyone respect Walker is not the feat of fighting the entire Warriors team alone at the last moment, but after experiencing the continuous DNP of cephalosporin, his passionate fighting spirit has not been consumed even the slightest.
If there is a war, the call will come. Perhaps from the moment the yellow robe was added, Walker always knew that he was an indispensable Laker~
For Walker, the Spring Festival Gala of Huyong G4 must be unforgettable.
After the game, brilliant and charming spotlights, all kinds of long guns and short cannons were aimed at his tired and shy face.
And Zhan Mei's enthusiastic embrace and whispering in turn allowed him to briefly experience the support of superstars. How good this feeling of being needed is, only you can feel it.
In fact, like many NBA players, as a low-level black man, Walker experienced a difficult childhood.
Born in Reading, Pennsylvania in '98, he grew up in turmoil;
Reading is a small city and a capital of sin. Crime rates, education, employment and living conditions are all rated "F".
Hell is empty, demons are on earth, and when Lonnie Walker was in 5th grade, he was sexually assaulted.
"That summer in fifth grade, I was sexually harassed, raped and abused. I'm numb because at that age, you simply don't know what that means.
At that time, I was curious about everything and easily deceived. I don't know what the world looks like, only hair is something I can control. ”
Seeing this, many people may begin to think back;
They all thought that Walker kept that potted hairstyle just to be at the forefront of the trend, but in fact, the reason behind it is not only not a beautiful story, but a terrifying nightmare.
It is hard to imagine that such a shy optimistic boy who plays hard has such a heavy burden and lingering haze hidden in his heart.
Movies such as "Suyuan" and "The Furnace" that expose ugly human nature, for Walker, are probably the closest to reality, stopping at lips and teeth and hiding in the pit of the heart.
As early as the age of 11, Walker once expressed to his mother his obsession that he would take her out of this evil city;
Basketball, on the other hand, is the only way for him to change his life and realize his wishes.
After being drafted by the Spurs in the first round of 2018 as the 18th pick, Walker officially started his career.
The Spurs' four years, from bench to starter to sixth man, grew rapidly under Popovich's tutelage.
During this time, Walker also cut out the iconic potted hairstyle.
The best way to overcome fear is to face it.
To face yourself in this way is to forgive everything that has been, including those who do not deserve and should not be forgiven.
This choice is tantamount to a rebirth.
"My hair is my mask and hides the insecurity that I feel the world is not ready for, but now better than ever, I am peeling my skin mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually."
Walker explained with relief.
Not only that, Walker, who has completely escaped the magic world, also founded the Rescue Foundation, which invests time and financial resources in the community to generate positive interactions with individuals and families.
He often uses himself as a model to instill truth in those who suffer – never give up! To live hard is to be able to dispel evil spirits and fulfill dreams that seem out of reach.
Last year, Popovich, who is committed to rebuilding, intentionally let go of Walker, who continued to pursue his dream and joined the Lakers for an annual salary of 6.5 million a year.
Of course, the highlight stage is a double sword, bringing traffic, while Walker is unknowingly squeezed out of rotation, and even DNP.
But he chose to endure and keep a low profile without any complaints, some people understand that it is my luck, and no one understands indifferent and alone.
Do not be humble, not arrogant, not discouraged, and forge ahead.
It's no surprise that Walker was able to seize his chances in the LakeWarriors G4 to make a splash.
Put on the jersey, he's an NBA player; Shed his robes, he is an indomitable fighter for destiny;
Lonnie Walker came with courage and sincerity, born to the sun, chasing the light, in this crowded Los Angeles, I believe that the person who regrets will never be him!
