Wooden led UCLA blue Jin dynasty, naturally without his elite soldiers. One of the most famous is another basketball legend-"Kareem Abdul Jabbar" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, one of the greatest NBA basketball players in the United States. He has been an excellent center player from high school to NBA, and still maintains the highest total score in NBA games. After retiring, he became a successful writer and part-time actor. As a player, he fights with a hook on the court, so the nickname "Karim Abdel-Jabbar Jabbar" is more famous than his full name.
Jabbar, whose height has been outstanding since middle school, has become an irreplaceable center of the team. He led his alma mater's team to win the championship three times in the new york Catholic School Competition, creating a brilliant record of 765,438+0 winning streak. The total score of the team was 96 wins and 6 losses. 1967 After entering UCLA, Jabbar showed his amazing talent. In the first grade, he led a freshman team to beat a team composed of senior students in a practice match, and thus won the favor of his mentor Wooden. Mentors and apprentices jointly opened UCLA's brilliant seven-time crown dynasty.

In the NBA draft of 1969, Phoenix Suns and Milwaukee Bucks competed for Jabbar by guessing coins. As a result, the latter was lucky enough to win Jabbar's joining. Jabbar spent five seasons with the Bucks. 1975, bucks traded Abdul-Jabbar for center Elmer Smith, guard Brian Winters and free agents Dave Maiers and George W. Brigmann. Jabbar won the NBA Best Rookie Award at the end of his rookie season. 1970-7 1 season, Jabbar averaged 3 1.7 points per game, won the title of MVP and scoring champion in the regular season, and led the team to win the NBA championship. 1976 transferred to the Los Angeles Lakers, and Owen Johnson, known as the "magician", became the two pillars of the Lakers and led the team to win the NBA championship five times; Career * * * Six NBA championships, six regular season MVPs, two finals MVPs, two scoring champions, 19 NBA All-Star Game. 1995, Jabbar was officially elected to the NBA Basketball Hall of Fame; 1996, Jabbar was selected as one of the "top 50 superstars" in NBA.
While studying at UCLA, Jabbar converted to Islam and chose Abdul's Arabic name in 197 1. On the second day (May 1) when Jabbar led the Bucks to easily beat the Baltimore Bullets (now known as the Washington Wizards) in the NBA Finals, he announced his decision to change his name. Qiao Ba's left eyeball was bruised in a competition. After that, he almost always wore protective goggles to participate in the competition. Since then, a big man with a blindfold and a hook shot has become the talk of every American family. The name "Tiangou" shocked the whole country and frightened his opponents. Jabbar's height reached 2. 18 meters and his wingspan reached nearly 2.5 meters. You can imagine how beautiful and shocking it would be for such a big man to put one leg beside him, draw an arc with his terrible arm and throw the ball into the basket. Ordinary hook is the product of regular basketball, while Tengu is a down-to-earth "wild way" because normal people can't control the direction and strength of the ball with this trick. However, Qiao Ba is wandering in the street. Since the fourth grade, he has been using this trick to deal with his opponents.
After entering UCLA, Jabbar quickly changed the order of the entire NCAA. In addition to being unable to represent the first-year school team because of league regulations, he was selected as "Player of the Year" by united press international, Associated Press, American Basketball Writers Association and other authoritative organizations in 1967 and 1969, and held the MOP award and NCAA best team for three consecutive years. During his college career, Jabbar scored 88 wins and 2 losses for the team. One game lost to the University of Houston, and the other lost to the University of Southern California (at that time, there was no attack time limit, and the leading team could keep the ball indefinitely without attacking). Losing to the University of Houston is defined as "divine punishment": 1, 968,65438+1On October 20th, Jabbar met the University of Houston led by elvin hayes. Jabbar scored 15 because of a left corneal abrasion, and Hayes scored 39 points 15 rebounds, helping the University of Houston score 76,543 points. This summit is the first national broadcast of college basketball in American history. In the NCAA finals of 1968, the two teams met again, and healthy Jabbar successfully and crazily completed his revenge with 10 1-69.
After retiring, Jabbar coached a high school team with a symbolic salary of one dollar. At the same time, he successfully transformed into a writer and a part-time actor, and studied under Kung Fu star Bruce Lee. I believe everyone will be familiar with the classic duel in the game of death.
UCLA bruins Basketball Team is full of talents. In addition to "Jabbar Jabbar", there is also a man who has to mention "Mr. Key", Reggie Miller, who is famous for his accurate three-pointer and scoring ability at the end of the game. At the end of the game, his key scoring performance was called "Miller Time" by fans. Miller once scored a high score of 57 points in a game and magically reversed 8 points in 8.9 seconds at the last moment of the game. During his NBA career, he was selected for the NBA All-Star Game five times. Five single-season free throw percentage ranks first in the league; * * * hit 2560 three-pointers, ranking second in the NBA history three-pointer list; Average 18.2 points, 47. 1% shooting percentage, 39.5% shooting percentage from three-pointers and 88.8% shooting percentage from free throws.
Miller won the championship on behalf of the national team in 1994 Toronto World Basketball Championship and 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games. Miller played 18 seasons in the NBA, all playing for the Pacers. On the evening of March 30th, 2006, the Pacers held the retirement ceremony of reggie miller jerseys at Conceco Center Arena, the home of Indiana Pacers. 20 12 On April 3rd, reggie miller was elected to the naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.
In UCLA's historical scoring list, Miller's total score is second only to Kareem Abdul Jabbar's. Until 2009, Miller still kept UCLA's record of scoring the most points in a single season, scoring the highest average points in a single season and hitting the most free throws in a single season, and was already the "Mr. Key" of bruins.

In addition, UCLA has trained a number of NBA superstars, such as Allen Afraro, byron davis, matt barnes, kevin love and Russell Westbrook. The NBA Hall of Fame has never lacked bruins's sponsorship. It is worth mentioning that Kevin Loew, the starting power forward of the Cavaliers at the beginning of the year, said that Russell Westbrook played a better season than lebron james. Brian Windhorst, a famous ESPN reporter, talked about the relationship between Loew and Shao Wei in an interview. He even revealed that there are voices outside that the two former UCLA teammates are expected to reunite in the near future.
Back to the topic, in fact, many players grew up in NCAA, such as Jordan in North Carolina and Jabbar in UCLA, including football/ice hockey/baseball that many people in China don't know much about.
After all, sports is not great, only greater.
