According to Fox Sports reporter Mark Berman, 34-year-old Corey Brewer will join the Pelicans as a player development coach. This means that we will never see this smiling man galloping on the NBA again.
Brewer's retirement was indeed somewhat abrupt. Before the resumption of last season, the Kings also took advantage of the temporary window to sign the veteran, and it is reported that in addition to the Kings, there are multiple teams to provide him with quotations. After the resumption, he played a total of 5 games for the team, averaging 6.6 minutes per game and scoring 1 point and 1.6 boards.
Although the company commander is only a blue-collar worker in terms of ability, he is very capable of playing personal honors. When playing for the University of Florida, Brewer was the absolute workhorse of the team. During his three years at the school, he led the team to two NCAA championships and was named MOP in the 2006–07 season.
In the 2007 NBA Draft, the Timberwolves selected Brewer with the 7th pick in the first round. NCAA champion, MOP, lotto show, timber wolf at the time completely regarded the company commander as the core of the future. Unfortunately, he suffered a front cruciate ligament strain in the second season of his career, and only played 15 games to be reimbursed for the season.
The injury completely changed the company commander's career, and in the 2010-11 season, the Timberwolves traded 4th-year Brewer to the Knicks, and he was bought out. But they all said that the luck of the laughing boy would not be too bad, and the lone ranger took a fancy to Brewer at this time, and the company commander also won the only championship of his career with the team.
Even if he had the attribute of a blessed general, he could not escape the fate of being sent away. In the 2011-12 season, Brewer was traded to the Nuggets by the Lone Rangers. Here he finally found himself, in the 2012-13 season, Brewer averaged 24.4 minutes per game, and could get 12.1 points, 2.9 boards, 1.5 assists and 1.4 breaks, almost equaling the best statistics of his career.
People remember little people because they accomplished feats, and so did the company commanders. On April 11, 2014, having returned to the Timberwolves, he faced Harden on 19-of-30 shooting, slashed 51 points and six breaks, and led the team to a narrow victory of 112-110. Set a single-game scoring record while equaling the team's all-time record.
Not only can he cry Dengge, but the company commander can also take Dengge to fly. In the 2014-15 playoffs, the Rockets and Clippers contributed a classic series. As a member of the headband gang, Brewer made a desperate contribution to the team's desperate reversal in the case of a 1-3 deficit in the big score.
As a quality blue-collar worker, Brewer played 819 regular season games in his career, averaging 22.9 minutes per game, and scored 8.7 points, 2.8 boards, 1.5 assists and 1.25 breaks. In fact, the 34-year-old can continue to shine, and after being signed by the King, the company commander excitedly said: "I am willing to play any role for them, whether it is to deliver water or play." ”
Having won the championship and been a tramp, the company commander once lamented: "I can play for a few more years, but now there are too many young people, and the opportunity is rare." He also planned for retirement: "I want to be a coach or a commentator to help young players improve and let them make breakthroughs." ”
After experiencing the cold and warm of life in the world, this smile is warm and innocent!
