When it comes to street ball, I think many fans will not feel strange. With the development of the Internet in recent years, the continuous improvement of basketball level, compared with the "contempt" of early fans for street ball culture, today's street ball has gradually become a culture extended by basketball.
There may be many fans who do not know how to play street ball, or think that street ball is too "fancy" and have no interest in learning. But in any case, I have more or less seen others play street ball. Among them, the most typical is the "helmet brother" who has been active in major video platforms in recent years, and in the past period of time, the figure of Zhao Qiang and others such as "whirlwind small gyroscope" is also some of the more famous street players in the early days.
Compared with the emergence of domestic street players in the post-era, many fans who have watched the ball for a long time may have a deeper impression on Alstom, who are similar to "bone collectors" and "jumping souls", who have made achievements in foreign street ball games. However, if you really want to talk about the first appearance of street ball on the Internet platform, so that it is well known to fans, there is one person who has to mention, that is, the white "coach" who is known as the king of street ball.
Professor, the social media name is The Professor, which is certainly not his original name, but everyone agrees. As its name suggests, Streetball teaches this aspect, and he is indeed professional. Seeing these familiar dynamic charts, I think many fans have returned to their youth. At that time, I was new to basketball, and most of the online search for basketball teaching was the dynamic diagram of the coach, or his teaching video. Especially in the original "Spider-Man Raid Stadium Series", ten years ago when short videos were not yet developed, it had as many as 40 million views.
The professor's original name was Grayson-Boucher, born on June 10, 1984, and he has been loved by many fans since his debut as a street player. In addition to his good ball skills, his height of 1.78 meters and 70 kilograms has gradually become one of the reasons why fans like to watch him teach. After all, in the sports of basketball, a "big man" sport, who can think that ordinary people of average height can play basketball so amazingly that even an opponent who is much taller than himself can be as simple as the road in the morning.
The professor has played in more than 30 countries, appeared seven times in ESPN's "Streetball" special, five times appeared on and1 Mixtape's DVDs, four times appeared in AND1 commercials, and also appeared in AND1 video games. In order to continuously improve their skills, the professors insist on training every day, even during the tour. In the Battle of Rock Park at the AND 1 MixTape tour, the professor's performance completely conquered the street ball figure Duke Tango, and since then Tango has said that Boucher is a "professor" on the court, teaching his opponent how to play, and Boucher's nickname of "Professor" has disappeared. At this point, the professor also became the first white player in AND1 history to sign a contract.
However, it is such a coach who has fulfilled his honors in street ball, but in recent times, he has suffered a fatal injury that may make his career safe! The other day, as usual, during the leisure time after dinner, the coach appeared on the 2V2 basketball court on the streets of Miami. The fans who were originally present were full of expectations, and the coach could show what kind of basketball level. There are even fans who are secretly worried about the opponent of the coach, and there is another person on this basketball court who has been shaken. Unexpectedly, the coach was injured, and without warning. You can see that the coach was holding the ball, after three threats, a breakthrough, and then fell the ground, rolled in a circle, and was in pain.
In this case, the scene where the NBA active Nets Durant was injured by the Warriors before the ball was involuntarily appeared in front of the eyes. The same is no confrontation, the same hurt the calf. Although as of now, there is no source to reveal what injuries the coach has suffered, but according to the incident, the professor himself said on social media that he had suffered a devastating injury and that his career was coming to an end. It's not hard to guess that the professor's injury may be exactly the same as Durant's, the rupture of the Achilles tendon.
Referring to NBA Kobe, Cousins and others, players with Achilles tendon injuries, few can return to the top. Not to mention that the professor is not young, and now at the age of 36, even if it is restored, it will take more than half a year to conservatively estimate. This is almost a year without playing, which means that after his comeback, the game will inevitably go downhill.
The only thing to be thankful for may be that the coach plays this kind of street ball, and the requirements for physical confrontation are still relatively small. In any case, no matter what the state of the coach's comeback, or directly choose to retire, I hope that the coach can recover as soon as possible!
