Freshmen:
198111On February 2nd, a new life was born in Sue, a small town in northwest Iowa, USA. This is Kirk James Hinrich, the protagonist of this article. Coincidentally, his father Jim Hinrich, as the coach of the local west high school basketball team, also won the team's first victory this year on the same day. Both Jim and kirk hinrich's mother Nancy think that this child will inherit his father's basketball lineage and find his own sky on the court.
Perhaps it is really destiny takes a hand. Hinrich was deeply fascinated by sports, especially basketball, before he learned to walk. Basketball is the second sport in Iowa after rugby. His father Jim often asks him to sit next to him when watching basketball broadcast. Whenever there is an advertisement, Hinrich will play mini basketball with his father, and then he can accurately throw the ball into the basket about six feet high hanging on the bedroom wall. As Hinrich grew up, his parents also made a rule: If you accidentally break something while playing, you can only touch the basketball until the next day. This also makes Hinrich cherish every minute and second with basketball.
Being born into a basketball family has saved Hinrich a lot of detours. Whenever Hinrich dribbles or moves cards, his father Jim and mother Nancy give him a lot of guidance and advice. This also laid the foundation for him to have a solid basic skill in the future.
Hinrich really started playing basketball in the second grade. His father, Jim, found his former teacher, Ray Nak, who taught at Blair Cliff College and asked his son if he could attend his basketball summer camp. This made Reinach hesitate, because all the students in his training camp were in Grade 456, but at Jim's insistence, Reinach finally agreed to his request. Hinrich didn't live up to his father's expectations. With extraordinary talent and hard training, he quickly stood out. When he graduated from this training camp two years later, he became the undisputed leader among them.
Jim and Nancy are not surprised by Hinrich's success as a teenager, and his friends take it for granted. Because Hinrich was superior in almost all sports at that time. In football, he is the star quarterback of the school. In baseball, he is both an excellent pitcher and a strong batter.
Of course, among many sports, basketball has always been Hinrich's favorite. Gary payton, an all-star player of the SuperSonics, was the object of Hinrich's imitation at that time. Hinrich was impressed by Payton's flexible steps and quick steals, as well as his excited expression after leaving the attacking players speechless. From then on, Hinrich decided to become a glove player.
Stand out:
When Hinrich entered the West High School team as a newcomer, his talent was gradually known to everyone, but some people still thought that he was more dependent on the coach's father. In order to avoid suspicion, Hinrich started as a caddy, took the bus with the school team to watch the game, participated in the pre-game mobilization meeting, and took the initiative to compete with his brothers for fixed-point shooting after the training. When other students went to the party, only Hinrich stayed in the gym to hone his skills. These experiences make it an indisputable fact that Hinrich will become a team leader in the future.
In the second year of joining the school team, Hinrich has been favored by many universities, and Hinrich's favorite is Iowa State University taught by Tim Freud. At that time, he also verbally promised to join the team after graduating from high school. However, due to the departure of Jackson, Tim Floyd was invited to join the Bulls by general manager Kopang, which made Hinrich later change his mind and become a member of the University of Kansas.
The West Basketball Team has achieved an excellent record of 82 wins and 9 losses during its tenure at Hinrich, and is a strong contender for the state championship almost every season. In the senior year, Shuai team finally won the state championship, with 25 points in the final. This is the first time he has tasted the championship, and it is also the first champion in his father's coaching career. Hinrich's perfect performance made the residents of Sioux Town taste the state championship for the first time in 65 years.
Hinrich four years later? Mode？ Yi Congdong time team has three new statistical records in the history of steals, assists and scores. It is also an honor to be nominated by USA-Today and swim as the best high school team in the United States, and to share the honor of Mr. Iowa Basketball with his future college classmate nick collison.
Hinrich and Collison grew up in many similar backgrounds: white players from small towns in Iowa, and their fathers were both basketball coaches in their high schools. So their understanding of basketball is more mature than their peers. Although they belong to different high schools, they all joined the AUU team in Iowa, so they are no strangers. Collison still remembers his first impression of Hinrich: "This kid seems to be afraid of nothing." Collison remembers that when they first attended AAU, they met Ronald Curry, the star defender of McDonald's in the United States at that time. The team led by Hinrich asked to defend Curry without saying anything. As a result, he not only defended Curry, but also scored 20 points in the first half. Since then, no one dares to despise this seemingly fragile white point guard.
As a high school student, Hinrich also represented the United States in the World Youth Men's Basketball Championship held in Moscow in 1998, and helped the United States win the championship with unbeaten record. Before that, Hinrich was accompanied by his father when he went to watch a basketball game or a baseball game. This World Youth Championship is the first time that Hinrich has lived independently in a foreign country.
After graduating from high school, Hinrich and Collison joined the basketball team of the University of Kansas led by roy Wilhemlms. Hinrich, who just started his college career, often misses his parents and hometown, but basketball makes him integrate into college life more quickly. Coach roy Wilhemlms is very satisfied with his new players. In the past few years, Kansas missed byron davis, Quentin Richardson and Mike Miller for various reasons, but this time it really swept away the past. In addition to Hinrich and Collison, the team also recruited Drew Gooden from California, a big man who was one of the most athletic and flexible people in the United States at that time.
As the darling of high school, Hinrich can only play a walk-on role in the team at first, but as the classic line says, "Some birds can't be caged because their feathers are so beautiful".
Once a great victory was won away from home, the team bus took the players back to the school dormitory, and the players went back to their rooms to celebrate. When Roy came out of the dormitory, he found Hinrich strolling alone in the parking lot late at night. Hinrich is very dissatisfied with his performance. He is reviewing his shortcomings. His love for basketball is enough to melt the snow that hits him. Roy saw this and walked up to Hinrich and said, "Son, you are the point guard I want."
Hinrich didn't disappoint Roy. With the deepening of the season, he gradually occupied the position of the team's starting point guard. In the team's recent 13 games, Hinrich's three-point shooting rate exceeded 40%, which made Kansas's offense smoother. He got 123 assists all season, the fourth highest among all the rookies in Kansas history, and the University of Kansas also won the big 12 league championship for three consecutive years.
After the rookie season, Hinrich was not idle. He really wants to join the American Dream Five in the Indiana World Championships. But at that time, the coaching staff of Dream Five paid more attention to jay williams from Duke University and had to give up Hinrich. Sinrich, who suffered a fiasco, did not lose heart, but worked harder to prepare for the new season.
In his sophomore year, Hinrich has become an indispensable center of gravity in Kansas, and the excellent performances of Collison and Drew Gooden have also made Hinrich an efficient point guard. He can get nearly 7 assists per game, and 50.5%' s terrible three-point shooting rate has also rewritten the team history record. Kansas, which had high hopes, lost to the University of Illinois in Crazy March 16-8. Hinrich felt very guilty about this failure and was deeply aware of the importance of good posture in this hand-to-hand combat. Since then, he has spent a lot more time in the gym than before, and gained 15 Jin of muscle with sweat. Get better:
Hinrich is generally believed by experts to be selected in the first round before the draft, but it is uncertain whether he can enter the lottery area because there are many talents in the world in 2003. However, just one week before the start of the draft, jay williams, the third runner-up show of the Chicago Bulls in 2002, suffered a car accident and will not be able to play for a long time to come. So in order to fill his vacancy, the Bulls chose Hinrich in the seventh place. Hinrich was very happy after hearing the news, and went to Las Vegas to celebrate with friends, and entered his rookie season in NBA with great expectation.
Newcomer Hinrich was very insecure at the beginning of the season. However, with the arrival of Taiyang Yuan coach Skiles, Hinrich has room to make a big impact. Like general manager john paxson, skeels seems to see himself in Hinrich. They began to try to mold Hinrich into a leader.
In a flash, the season is over and Hinrich is playing smarter and more confident. He scored a season-high 29 points against Orlando Magic. A few days later, in the team's last game against the Pacers, he played the first14th double-double of the season-18 points, 1 1 assists. Hinrich's assists and three-pointers ranked first among all rookie players, and this 144 three-pointer was also the first among all rookie players in the history of the Bulls, and was named the best player of the season by fans.
However, because the team's two veterans, scottie pippen and Jalen Rose, are older and the other players are too young, the weak Bulls only scored 23-59. Although he spent most of his time dealing with failure, it should be said that Hinrich gained a lot in his first season, and he was selected into the first NBA rookie team together with Wade, James, Anthony and chris bosh. The insider composed of eddy curry and tyson chandler, who repeatedly made low-level mistakes, also showed great potential.
In the 2004-05 season, Bulls found several good comrades-in-arms for Hinrich Ben Gordon, namely, Hinrich from Connecticut and chris duhon from Duke, as well as Du Hong's college teammate luol deng and Argentine Andreas Noccioni. The whole team looks full of energy. However, in a preseason game with the Wizards, Hinrich was maliciously fouled by Larry Hughes during a breakthrough, and he got up and pushed the opponent. Then, antonio davis and brendan haywood, two assistants, scuffled again, and the situation became more chaotic. The team battle delayed the game by 3 minutes and 22 seconds. In the end, the restless Hinrich was fined 1 10,000 dollars by the alliance.
After an embarrassing 9-game losing streak at the beginning of the season, the team boldly changed ranks, putting Ben Gordon, who has strong offensive ability, in the sixth place, and making Du Hong and Hinrich form a starting backcourt combination. This move was very effective, and the young teeth of the bull finally began to erupt, and they won 22 of the next 32 games. At the end of the season, they won 47 games, 24 more than last season, second only to the Pistons in the central group, and reached the playoffs for the first time since Jordan retired in 1998. Although the first round was eliminated by the Wizards 4-2, it has already made the depressed Bulls fans see the hope of revival.
This season, Hinrich's technical statistics have almost improved. What's more commendable is that when Du Hong played more point guards, Hinrich's assists remained at a high level (6.4 times). Off-court, his low-key and easy-going personality, as well as his role model on and off the court, also made Bulls teammates and fans trust and rely on him more. Hinrich became the new captain of the Bulls without a doubt.
In the third season of Hinrich, the team traded two inside players, antonio davis and eddy curry, and their record also dropped from last season. The victory of 4 1 and the loss of 4 1 forced them to encounter the later champion Miami fever in the first round of the playoffs. Although the bulls did not get rid of the fate of being eliminated, they still caused a lot of trouble to the Heat. Hinrich performed well, averaging 20.5 points and 7.7 assists per game. However, he made 24 mistakes in six games.
Win glory for our country:
After the end of the season, Hinrich was also invited to Las Vegas to participate in the training camp for the Dream Seven team to prepare for the World Championships in Japan. On the morning of July 25th, Hinrich learned the news of his grandfather's unfortunate death. Before returning to his hometown of Su, Hinrich told the media that he was honored to take his country to participate in the competition, and it was great to be with so many excellent players. Coach King also appreciates Hinrich. Although the team list was reduced again and again during the preparation period, Hinrich finally came to Japan with the team. Unfortunately, the dream seven team led by the new generation lost to Greece in the semi-final and only won a bronze medal.
Looking to the future:
In the new season, the Bulls signed Ben Wallace, the two-time best defensive player, and selected tyrus thomas, a rookie with excellent physical fitness. After nearly half a season of running-in, the team has gradually found the feeling of the game and its performance has steadily improved. Hinrich's responsibility is growing. Although he didn't say anything, he was very much looking forward to the moment when he won the NBA championship trophy for Chicago fans.
In my junior year, because the team replanted a new point guard, Hinrich became a living chess player in the team. This season, he averaged 15 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists per game, and scored 2 1 0 points and 6 assists in the university match with the old enemy Missouri, leading the team to win 105:73. He, Collison and Gooden led Kansas into the national semi-finals, but unfortunately lost to the later champion University of Maryland in the semi-finals.
Drew Gooden announced his withdrawal from the NBA draft immediately after the end of the season, but Hinrich and Collison, who were widely estimated to be worth the first round, chose to go back to school for their senior year. They don't want to give up their last chance to win the championship for Kansas.
In today's trend, if an NCAA star will study in school for four years, there are only two situations. One is that he is sure to become the No.2 scholar like tim duncan, and the other is that he has irreparable defects in technology and has to stay until his senior year, hoping to prove himself with achievements like jason kapono of UCLA. Generally, potential players will give up school when their value rises. It is rare for players like Hinrich to give up the first round or even draw lots to go back to school to win honor.
In the new season, Hinrich has made great adjustments. With the graduation of outside pitcher Jeff Boscher, Hinrich's position was basically fixed at shooting guard, and the point guard was handed over to aaron miles. This change inspired Hinrich's scoring potential, averaging 17.3 points and 3.5 assists per game. It was also selected as the best team in Da 12 League by Associated Press. As a result, Kansas reached the semi-finals again under the condition of shortage of manpower and injury. They beat Marquette University 94-61in the semi-final, but lost to Syracuse University led by carmelo anthony in the final. Hinrich felt bad throughout the game, especially a key three-pointer missed before the final whistle, which made the team lose by 78: 8 1 and three points. Hinrich also cried in the dressing room after the game, and his college career ended in this regrettable game.
The question you asked: The highest score this year seems to be 33 points, 13 assists.
