1977 February 2 1, which is about half an hour's drive from Washington? Tacoma? A port town named Steve? Francis's baby was born. This is not good news for this family. His father was arrested for robbing a bank and will be jailed for 20 years. His mother is just a little nurse who barely has enough food and clothing. That small town called Tacoma has another name, the capital of crime.
Francis once said that drug trafficking in the United States is dirty and colorless. The place where he lived, the place where he grew up, and even the air he breathed were inseparable from the smell of drugs. Whatever the reason, Francis embarked on the road of drug trafficking. He matched addicts with drug dealers and got a lot of pocket money from them. When there was no telephone, Francis practiced dribbling and wiping the ball on the court next to the telephone booth. The local neighbors even nicknamed him Little Steve Basketball? .
Although Francis's basketball skills are very good, his height was still pitiful 1.6 meters until he entered high school. During his high school career, he transferred to five schools and six high schools for family reasons. At the same time, he only played twice in his high school career because of an accidental injury during training. Fortunately, before going to college, Francis's height soared by 20 centimeters. Although he changed three times in college for various reasons, fortunately, he entered the NBA as he wished.
In the 2002 draft, Francis magically helped the team win the first place. And the team also selected Yao Ming with the top draft. Francis liked this big man from China very much. Later, he said, Yao Ming is my favorite teammate. If the team hadn't split us up, we would definitely have a chance to compete for the championship. ?
Francis trained with the emaciated Yao Ming to help Yao Ming understand the team's tactics, and take him to experience American customs and integrate into American life. After Yao Ming's poor performance in his first show, it was Teacher Fu who patted Yao Ming's chest and made him face the future like a man. In the competition, Mr. Fu will also stand out for Yao Ming. In a regular season against the Suns, Stoudemire yelled at Yao Ming after deducting points. At this time, Frodo, who was a little shorter, rushed over and pushed Stoudemire away. This is my place, you can't run wild with my brother!
Later, the boss was traded to Magic. In the match with his old club, the boss looked at Yao Ming, who was already an opponent. He finished the free throw and went up to give him a high five in a trance. In a word, both Francis and Yao Ming were deeply impressed by their feelings.
In 2003, a regular season game with the Warriors was nothing to watch, and there was no stunt. Francis warmed up on the court as usual. At this moment, a small fan came to see him. Francis greeted him in a friendly way and then asked him to shoot three points on the court. 1 1 years later, the little boy finished the lore 0.9 seconds before the end in the sixth game of the first round of the playoffs, eliminating his old club Frodo. This little boy's name is Damian? Lillard.
Even if he was poor in his later years, he was entangled in the troubles of life. But Francis's life is still legendary enough. /kloc-when he was 0/8 years old, a gun was pointed at his head. At the age of 22, he became an NBA star. At the age of 43, he is unremarkable, but he is still remembered. Life is like a dream, and the story of Boss Fu is far from over.
