[personal history]
Bill russell was born in 1934 and is 2m tall. In 2006 1956, he won the Olympic basketball gold medal, 1 1 times won the NBA championship, including eight consecutive championships, and was elected as the NBA's most valuable player five times. 1967 became the first black head coach in NBA history. Russell is the greatest defensive center in basketball history. He was inducted into the American Basketball Hall of Fame on 1974.
Although Russell is a center, his height is not outstanding, but his physical fitness is excellent: 100 meters, 10.06 seconds, 400 meters, 49 seconds. The high jump score is 2.09 meters. His explosive power is amazing, and he can easily touch the upper edge of the rebound, which laid a good foundation for him to become an NBA superstar. However, more importantly, while studying in the famous basketball school, University of San Francisco, Russell mastered the defensive concept and technology that will change the future basketball face. The coach of this university, Ren Erbote, combined Russell's physical fitness with very authoritative defense theory, which enabled Russell to lead the University of San Francisco team to a magical record of 55 consecutive victories, and he himself won the title of the best player in the United States many times.
1956, Russell delayed joining the NBA for one year in order to participate in the Melbourne Olympic Games, leading the American men's basketball team to win all eight games in the Olympic Games, averaging 53 points per game. After joining the Boston Celtics in NBA, Russell 1 1 won the NBA championship. Eight of them won the championship in succession, and these two records are two peaks that future generations cannot surpass. In defense, Russell always waits for the opponent to shoot before jumping, and then hits the ball like volleyball as the basketball rises, or hits his own frontcourt, so that his teammates can start a fast break. When scoring, most of them are rebounding in the frontcourt and making up the basket twice. His hook shot can be left or right, which is hard to prevent. 1959, he and "basketball emperor" Chamberlain grabbed 35 rebounds in the first confrontation. Got 5 1 rebound in a game with Syracuse national team.
Russell, who won the 1 1 championship for the Celtics in the 13 season, said: "For me, the best thing is to watch a group of people cooperate with each other, cheer each other up, and March towards the goal of winning the championship together." I tried, and so did my teammates. I think we really succeeded. "
Russell won the MVP five times, 1970 was selected as the best team for the 25th anniversary of NBA, and 1980 was selected as the best team for the 35th anniversary of NBA. In the same year, he was voted the greatest player of this century by the American Professional Basketball Writers Association. 1998 was elected as the top 50 stars in NBA history.
