Anderson played for Jiangsu Nangang Team in China CBA League from 1999-2000. When he first came to Nangang team, Anderson, who was only 19 years old, was still a young man with poor basic basketball skills, with little shooting ability and average passing and dribbling ability. However, he is 2 meters 13 in height, but he has long arms and good bounce. He is good at rebounding and blocking shots, especially at dunking. In training, he always throws the ball into the basket to score. Xu Qiang and Hu Weidong regard him as a substitute for Charlie Mind. Although he was incompetent, Xu Qiang, then head coach of Nangang Group, carefully cultivated him as one of his own. During the CBA, Anderson really learned how to play basketball. In the 200 1-2002 season, the youthful Anderson got more opportunities to play in Nangang, and he began to perform the "bird man" stunt crazily. One person contributed seven dunks in a game, especially in Jiangsu 132: 1 10 beat Guangdong Hongyuan 12. With the constant tempering of the regular season, his basketball skills are becoming more and more mature, and he has gradually played the main position from the beginning of the season to the second half. It is no exaggeration to say that the days when he focused on training the youth army in Nangang were of great help to his growth. Perhaps influenced by China culture, Anderson wrote two Chinese characters on his arm, the left arm is "good" and the right arm is "evil". This is just like his unique ball skills, and the "advantages and disadvantages" are clear.

Personal introduction: Nicknamed "Birdman", he bought tickets worth $25,000 in the 2005-06 season and gave them to charity organizations. He likes fishing, watching movies, playing video games and learning musical instruments, such as trumpet and saxophone.

The history of Chris Anderson:

Mother was mercilessly abandoned.

Chris Anderson has always wanted to buy a big house for his mother and Lamborghini. Because he knew that his mother Linda had suffered too much, she should be as happy as possible in her later years.

Chris has lived with his mother since he was a child. When Klaus, his biological father, left home, Chris cried in his mother's arms; 18 birthday, his mother watched him finish the first tattoo in his life; Playing ball since childhood, my mother accompanied Chris to explore.

Linda's mother's life is full of legends. She is a little sister with 24 tattoos and has been driving a motorcycle around the street. Linda's full name is Linda Ogler. She grew up in the mountains of Tennessee. Her father Jack is a carpenter and her mother Kate is a restaurant waiter. They are also "racing parties".

When Linda was 8 years old, her father put her in the back seat of a Chevrolet produced by 1954 and took her out for a ride. Slowly, my father let Linda sit in the driver's seat, even on the dangerous mountain road, and let her learn to step on the clutch. 10 years old, Linda made her first shot. Although it was only a 0.45 mm light pistol, Linda was pushed to the ground by recoil after shooting.

Later, Linda's father joined the army to serve in Long Beach, California, and Linda followed him to California. She learned to surf with a surfboard she bought for $25. Later, her father went to Vietnam to fight in the war, and Linda herself decided to join the army, hoping to become an army nurse. But in the end, she just lived a miserable life in the canteen in Port Wynemy, California.

One day, a big man named Klaus Anderson suddenly walked into Linda's world. He is a descendant of Danish immigrants and advocates a free and romantic life. Three months later, they got married by lightning.

1982, Linda and Klaus moved to Iola, Texas. They also have three children, April, Chris and Tammy. The family bought 65,438+00 acres of land through loans. At that time, Iola was 65,438+000 miles away from Houston, with a population of only 236.

Within two miles of Fiona Fang, the Anderson family are the only residents. Linda made a "wooden sign" by herself, which read "BluebonnetLane", which gave the place a name.

Linda said that Klaus promised to build a house for her and the children, and they would raise some livestock. Soon, a three-bedroom two-story building slowly appeared, but only a week later, Klaus suddenly left.

Klaus felt that he was not fit for such a family life. He was fascinated by oil paintings. He said he would look for opportunities to go to a big city like new york for his dream. To this end, he left his family and left a loan.

Linda suddenly realized that Klaus insisted on leaving California for this deserted town in order to escape the law and walk away in the future. Linda said, "How can you treat your children like this?"

Motherly love reborn him.

Linda and three children are in trouble. She said, "We only have half a bottle of peanut butter and a bag of bread." In desperation, Linda can only send Chris to a relative's house in Dallas. She said, "Leaving my children is the most painful time in my life. I think about them every day and worry about whether they will be good. "

Later, Chris grew taller and taller, and his athletic talent was fully reflected. With the help of many kind people, Chris learned to play basketball. However, because Chris didn't get a good education since he was a child, he couldn't get into the university or even the preparatory school, and he couldn't get a scholarship.

Chris can only make a living by playing wild ball. In 2000, by chance, he got the chance to come to China, joined Jiangsu Nangang Club, and stayed there for four and a half months.

200 1, 1 1 October, the Nuggets signed Chris. When my mother learned the news, she was so excited that tears came to her eyes. Although she doesn't know much about professional basketball, she knows it means money at home. But four years later, Linda's good wishes came to nothing and her world completely collapsed. On June 25, 2006, Chris was suspended for two years for violating the drug regulations of the League.

Chris has been a poor boy since he was a child. After he became rich overnight, he didn't know how to spend the money, and finally went on step by step.

The rich salary in NBA ignited Anderson's passion like nitroglycerin. He drank red wine coke as white water, bought a handbag worth $5,000 for his girlfriend and a Jaguar sports car.

Linda and Norm moved to Denver to take care of Chris. She said, "It's just out of maternal love. I have to look after my son. " But even the mother can't completely control Chris.

Anderson has no idea how to manage money. Sometimes he would casually put $900 into his shoes, and often called that expensive luxury taxi to see his friends off. I don't know when Anderson got involved in drugs. Mother Linda said helplessly, "during the game, I could see his pale lips and deep breathing on the seat." If I can see it, the coach can certainly see it. "

Chris was banned in 2006 and has been living in misery ever since. This period of time made Chris think a lot of things and understand a lot of truth. Crixus said: "After I was suspended, I only went home once or twice to visit everyone, and everything was fine. Yes, there is no place like Iola. Mom is the best. "

Chris doesn't want his mother to see his poor life. He put all his experiences into training. Finally, on March 4, 2008, Birdman was reborn, and the Hornets gave him a contract until the end of the season. Chris said, "I know it won't last forever. I can't always recover from stupid mistakes, but I haven't changed. I am me. " I just stopped doing what I used to do, and now I'm smarter. "

On this day, Linda's eyes are full of tears, both joy and pain. What he is most happy about is that his son can tide over the difficulties and start over.

Linda said, "I always hope he can come and see." He is very busy now. I know. I'll give him time. I will let him do what he likes and pray that he can do it well. I know he can change his life. No matter how old he is, I will always worry about him. "

This is an interview about Tom:

Chris Anderson, nicknamed "Bird Man", is not a big-name star, but China fans are familiar with him, not only because Anderson surprised everyone in last year's All-Star Dunk Contest, but more importantly, this well-flying and fierce dunk player once played for Jiangsu Nangang Team in CBA. 65438+ Beijing time1On the morning of October 9, the American media Fox Sports interviewed the power forward of the New Orleans Hornets. It reads as follows-

Fox: What do you do when you are free?

Anderson: I'm mainly used to staying at home and finding something to do to kill time.

Fox: Which restaurant do you like best in this city?

Anderson: I think this is a Houston restaurant.

Fox: What do you think of the exchange between david wesley and jim jackson?

Anderson: I hate to see Wesley leave the Hornets. I really like this guy. He is a good friend and a good teammate. It was only when he left that I realized what people often said was "business is business". In order to have a better development prospect for the team, sometimes we have to bear the pain and give up what we love.

Fox: Jackson still hasn't reported to the Hornets. If you had a chance to give him a message and draw a blueprint for his new team to change his mind, what would you say to him?

Anderson: I will say to him, "Come early and get ready."

Fox: What do you think of the basketball manager's game?

Anderson: This thing is really good. It would be great if players could join in. I can always hear the fans talk about it, and I can see that they are really fascinated by this game.

Anderson, Birdman: Hu Weidong owes me a lot for the plane crash in Yao Ming.

"Birdman" Anderson is one of the most popular players in Denver. At the Pepsi Center Arena, the reporter saw that the fans were wearing Birdman jerseys and had tattoos on their arms, almost exactly like Birdman. In this game, Anderson also scored 15 points, 7 rebounds and blocked three times, two of which were layups for Fan Kobe. This guy who was hanging out in CBA 10 years ago is now an indispensable member of the Nuggets. In the Nuggets locker room, the reporter had an interesting conversation with him.

Sports: Chris, I'm from China.

Anderson: Ah, really? China, CBA, when will I be there? 1999? It's been ten years. Time flies. Hello.

PE: Do you remember Chinese?

Anderson: A little. (Laughter)

Sports: In the NBA, apart from China players, you may be the only one who started his career in CBA.

Anderson: Yes, yes, how young I was then, and how young Yao Ming was then. We played together at that time. How old is he? 15 years old? 16 years old? Now that we have typed, he still remembers me, and I remember what he looked like at that time. He was about to fall when he hit it.

Sports: You have obviously improved a lot over the years. Did you learn anything in CBA that is still useful today?

Anderson: Experience. At that time, I had just graduated from college and had never played professional league. What I lack most is experience.

Sports: How about jump shot? You are quite accurate in shooting now, and you are also good at free throws.

Anderson: Honestly, when I was in high school and college, I was always a good scorer. At that time, I scored a lot and shot well, but later I hurt my wrist, which had a great influence on my shooting, so I probably had an illusion.

Sports: What would you think if someone told you that you could play the Western Conference Finals in 10 and still have a chance to enter the NBA Finals?

Anderson: He's crazy. I really didn't think I could go that far. At that time, my biggest goal was to enter the NBA. But after so many years, I have experienced a lot. I'm glad I survived, and now it's time to harvest.

Sports: What impressed you about China?

Anderson: Yes, they eat dog meat, all kinds of animals and drink turtle soup, but it scares me. Any American will be afraid to see such a thing.

Sports: In this game, you have a beautiful defense, and you have done a good job in helping Kobe.

Anderson: One-on-one defense against Kobe Bryant is impossible to prevent. We can only seize the opportunity. Fortunately, I caught him, but not every game can cover him. To deal with Kobe Bryant, we can only use a double team, but this time we didn't do well enough. But we are confident that we can get back in shape in the next game.

Sports: Do you know that Hu Weidong will come to watch this round of competition?

Want to come? Great. I'll try to meet him and have dinner with him or something. Hey, he still owed me a lot of sneakers when he was in Jiangsu!
