In last week's Chinese New Year version, Mi Bao asked everyone a question. Unexpectedly, so many people in the comment area guessed it correctly? (Mi Bao, who is sitting at the workstation, is already sweating profusely. Who knows...

In this case, Mi Bao won’t hide it anymore! That's right, he is General Qiao who is on the Northern Expedition with his team and is about to join the Southern Dragon and Northern Tiger - Paul George!

Everyone has heard the title of General Qiao, but what are the little-known stories before he became General Qiao? Today, let Mibao take everyone to review his extraordinary story~

Paul George's basketball dream originated in Palmdale, a mountain away from Los Angeles.

In 2000, legendary basketball superstar Kobe Bryant came to Los Angeles, not far from George's hometown, and led the Los Angeles team to win the championship. Seeing the touching scene of winning the championship, 10-year-old George buried his basketball dream in his heart.

In the days that followed, George posted the poster on the wall and imitated his gorgeous and smooth shooting movements every day. However, a poor family simply could not provide George with a good training environment. The denim shorts he wore during practice were cut from his sister's pants; the basketball hoop used for training was wrapped with tape, and the lower edge of the hoop had already tilted and was too worn out to be used anymore; a pair of comfortable sneakers was very important to little George. It was even more of a luxury for him. He could only run in the desert with bare feet and a backpack full of rocks. In such a difficult environment, George practiced shooting and kept running...

Day after day, year after year. As George grew older, his skills became more refined. Some universities offered him an olive branch, and he ultimately chose California State University, Frenos, which was closer to home and had more opportunities to play.

In his sophomore year, George scored 16.8 points, 7.2 rebounds and 3 assists. He was selected to the second team of the Western Athletic Conference All-Pro and decided to try out for the draft. Indiana, which was ranked 10th overall, launched a fierce pursuit of George. Because he can combine movement and shooting efficiently and smoothly, and his elegant style of play is very similar to Tracy McGrady. Moreover, the template given by scouts at that time was McGrady, and many people later called him McGrady 2.0.

In restoring its character, the party also nailed this silky-start style of play. The moment Paul George received the pass, he slowed down the pace and broke through with the ball, while potentially shaking the opponent's players.

After that, things developed as expected, and George came to Indiana and started his dream journey.

In the 2012 Slam Dunk Contest, George turned nearly 360 degrees under the basket and then dunked, stunning the audience. He led the team in a fierce battle with Miami for seven games, accelerated past James, and hit Anderson inside with a dunk. George's offense His talent is obvious to all; he scored 43 points in 37 minutes against Portland, setting a new career single-game scoring record... After entering Indiana, George stepped from the bench to the starting lineup and became a progressive player. The fastest player has slowly grown into a basketball superstar and the core of the team.

The party also incorporated his classic 360-degree spin dunk action to commemorate his rapid growth.

Just when everything was going well, fate played a huge joke on George. During the World Cup training, George hit the basketball stand when he landed, causing his left foot to flip 90°. The clearly visible bones made everyone present sweat for him. George himself felt very guilty because he couldn't participate in the game and be with his teammates.

"Can he return to the court?" "I won't be able to play after breaking his leg." "Can his injury be completely healed?" At this time, questions from the outside world also flooded in. Not only because a fracture is a fatal blow to a basketball player, but also because the shadow caused by the accident is a hurdle that most people cannot overcome.

Fortunately, he never said give up. In order to heal his injuries, three hard steel nails remained in George's body forever and became a part of him. After the operation, George needed help from others for all his movements. He was even out of breath when going up and down stairs. The road to recovery was very difficult. But the messages from fans and friends on social platforms made him feel that he was not alone, and strengthened his determination to return to the game.

In this way, it took only eight months for George to stand on the basketball court again after the injury. He took off his favorite No. 24 jersey and wore a new No. 13 jersey to announce to the world - General Joe is back!

After returning, he is obviously more stable than before. Indiana also developed special tactics for George: one big and four small; to open up space. George himself changed his offensive method. He no longer dunked like before, but used more shots to kill the game. In this so-called season of recovery from injury, he set a new career single-game scoring record with 48 points and 8 rebounds, a new career single-game steal record with 20 points, 6 rebounds and 7 steals, and even led the team with a single core. Made it to the playoffs.

"Who dares to stand upright with a sword? I am the only one who can do it, General Qiao from Yincheng." George's courage to defy the powerful players in the Eastern Conference during his comeback season is deeply engraved in the minds of fans. In the defensive round, when Paul George completes floor balls, blocks, steals, interferes with shots, and stops breakthroughs, he accumulates 1 layer of defense against leading attacks; each layer of defense against leading attacks will increase the open shot shooting rate, mid-range interference resistance rate, and breakthrough shake. The probability increases slightly; the upper limit of defensive attack is 3 levels. When the total reaches 3 levels, the attack and defense will be integrated, and the exclusive shooting skills will be enhanced.

At the same time, George also brought this heroic spirit to the party. Paul George signaled his teammates to pull away and confidently shot a three-pointer. His three-point shooting percentage increased to 100%, but his ability to resist interference was weak. Trust the ball to your teammates before shooting. Each level of defense will increase the morale of the receiving teammate by 100 points. In the state of integrated offense and defense, it can ignore all interference and clear it to prevent leading the attack when the shot is hit or blocked.

In fact, looking back at George's basketball career, he has been fighting against various forces. Whether it is powerful opponents, nagging injuries, or being called the "universal background" and questioning his basketball ability...but he never believes in fate. He has always been a strong fighter against fate. Countless difficulties over the past ten years have not knocked him down, and his determination to pursue his dream is still as determined as when he decided to cross the mountain to Los Angeles.

Of course, George's tough character is not without origin. When he was 6 years old, his mother suffered a sudden stroke and was hospitalized, which devastated the small family and allowed George to grow from a boy into a responsible man.

After becoming famous, George would often help families with stroke patients and share his experience of overcoming pain. He even became the host of Christmas dinner for more than a dozen families who had suffered strokes.

But George in life is slightly different from him on the court. In daily life, he prefers activities with low consumption, and fishing is his biggest hobby.

As a child, George's father often took him fishing. In his own words: fishing makes him temporarily forget his worries. So every offseason, while other players work out, George goes fishing; other players travel, while George goes fishing... Even the team-building projects of George's team sometimes turn into fishing? ! (Okay, okay, it turns out that fisherman’s suit was prepared for you)

But according to Mibao, it’s more appropriate to go fishing or come to a party, don’t you think?

After 4 rounds of fierce competition, the quarterfinals of the second season Arena Classic have been announced!

Congratulations to Mang, Ginobili Niubi, OG Kings, Guangfu, KS, Rebirth, Laoba Honey Burger, EG Club, and TK for successfully advancing to the next round of competition!

Among them, Mang, as the popular team, showed their strong dominance in the first round. After 4 rounds, he still performed well and won a beautiful 3:0 victory!

The EG club, also from the Zijin Dynasty League, is also very strong. Han Xu opened up space to help defend on the outside, and Zion and Curry frequently performed two-man turns and cooperated to score!

Among the teams that are currently promoted, the Zijin Dynasty Alliance has the largest number of teams. Each of the three alliances, Oklahoma City Three Heroes, Eastern Dragon, and Legendary Flying Players, has one team that is still fighting hard.

Among them, Laoba Honey Burger from the Oklahoma City Three Elites League used Han Xu to open up space, and Zion and Paul connected to see the right time to break the defense and score. The three people had a clear division of labor and finally successfully defeated their opponents 3:0!

In addition to the above alliances, the European Legion, Splash Brothers and other alliances were completely wiped out. Although they didn't make it to the end, the wonderful moments they left on the court deserve applause from all of us! At the same time, the first round of the quarterfinals will officially start at 16:00 on January 20th. Streetball players remember to come and cheer for the team you support~

"When there are human footprints on the moon, please don't tell me the sky is the limit." Paul George's league experience inspired people with basketball dreams around the world, and also deeply moved the fans who watched his game. I wonder what kind of player Paul George is in the minds of street ball players?

On January 24th, Paul George will take his talents to the streets and show off his general style. Street ball players are passing by, don’t miss it~
