The story of Curry in Meatwear: From wandering in childhood, to being questioned in talent, to NBA quasi-All-stars

From wandering in childhood, to having no fixed place to be questioned, unable to play in the high-level league, to the current NBA quasi-All-star, worth 4 first-round picks, he is the ceiling of ordinary players - Desmond Bain.

Bain can't remember how many times they had moved, and he had never seen his father, only knowing his name, living in Africa, and he also had a sister, when his mother Marisa Bain gave birth to him, she was only 18 years old, and she didn't know what responsibility was. In order to survive, Marisa took Bain and her brothers and sisters to move constantly, thus evading bills and those who collected debts. Later, Marisa was really unable to bear the obligation to support her, so she took the brother and sister to join her relatives.

From the aunt's house, to the uncle's house, then to the uncle's house...

It was not until the grandfather Bob Bain intervened that they had no place to live. Bob told Marissa that you can't live like this. Then, he wanted to custody Bain, and then sent his sister to their grandmother Sandy Bain's house. For Bain, meeting Bob was the luckiest thing in his life. At this time, Bob had just retired and began to plan Bain's future. In order to avoid the latter's bad habits, Bob sent him to a local private school with extremely strict school spirit. After class

, Bob would take Bain to play baseball like his "father". As the coach of the youth baseball team, Bob once hoped that Bain could inherit his legacy. Of course, he also allowed Bain to engage in other sports, such as football, rugby, and basketball. For a full seven years, Bain has been the main force of the baseball team. Every game day, Bob would accompany him and cheer him on the sidelines. Until after the eighth grade, due to the disbandment of the school baseball team, Bain slowly changed to basketball.

Because he started late, Bain did not perform well in his first year of high school, and his average of only 7.0 points per game. But who would have thought that just three years later, this inconspicuous boy grew up to be a candidate for the state basketball teacher. After his unremitting efforts, Bain handed in his last year averaging 30 points, 11.5 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 3.2 blocks, becoming the scoring champion in the history of Wien County youth basketball, and one of the best 15 people in the state history selected by the Indiana Basketball Coaches Association.

However, even so, Bain still did not receive much attention after graduation, because he competed in the lowest level of 1A league, and in terms of talent, Bain has many shortcomings, such as arm span, which is 2cm shorter than height, and for example, bounce, which is only slightly stronger than the No. 1 player, and is not fast enough. He only has the advantage of the strength site, so no one will associate it with future NBA players. In the end, Bain chose to join Christine University in Texas.

Otherwise, success is not accidental, it is all the result of accumulation bit by bit. Just like Bain, he has never been a genius, but he can embark on the same path as a genius.

The experiences of childhood have honed Bain's strong will, and he never accepts his fate or admits defeat. Even if the training has ended, Bain will still practice silently. He cut out the doubtful remarks and reports on the head of the bed, and attached a training list next to it. Every time he completed one, he crossed out one. This habit was maintained until he graduated from college. With such hard training, Bain's progress was also visible to the naked eye.

From a substitute who averaged 7.1 points per game in his freshman year, to a rotation of 12.5 points per game in his sophomore year, to a main player who averaged 15.2 points per game in his junior year, Bain finally became the core of the team, handing out a report card of 16.7 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.9 assists. Like in high school, Bain can improve a little every year. Compared to achieving it overnight, people appreciate the water droplets passing through the stone.

However, talent is always a gap that Bain cannot cross. In the 20-year draft prediction, Bain was only at the end of the second round, ESPN simulated 42nd pick, The Athletic 5.0 predicted 44th pick, and nbadraft lost the election. In this regard, Bain still optimistically said to his grandfather, "No one will only focus on physical test data, and someone will see my ability." However, on the day of the draft, Bain, who has always been calm, was also in a cold sweat. During the trial, Bain was deeply impressed by the Detroits. He was also confident that he would become a member of the Motor City. However, they took Stewart at the 16th pick and then chose Sadiq Bay at the 19th pick. Bain began to get nervous and his family comforted that the 76ers also needed a shooter, but a few minutes later, Xiao Hua read Maxi's name. Bain closed his eyes and prayed silently in his heart that once it fell to the second round, anything could happen. Finally, he took the last bus in the first round, was picked up by the Celtics in the 30th pick, and was immediately traded to the Grizzlies.

"I was really going to suffocate at that time. I still remember the people who were selected in front of me." - Desmond Bain

In the rebuilt Memphis, Bain was in a state of progress. He also continued his step-by-step progress and made considerable progress every year, from averaging 9.2 points per game in the rookie season, to an average of 18.1 points per game in the second year, to an average of 21.5 points per game in the third year, to an average of 23.7 points, 4.4 rebounds, 5.5 assists in the fourth year, and a standard All-Star performance. With his help, the Grizzlies also ignited hope of winning the championship.

Despite his average talent, Bain polished his shooting skills to the extreme and was named "Curry in Meat". His three-point shooting percentage has always been above 38%, and his output is not low. During Morant's recovery, Bain developed a ball-holding organization, slowly transforming from a scorer without the ball to a ball-holding core..

This summer, as the Grizzlies enter the reconstruction, they traded Bain to the Magic in exchange for including Cole Anthony, Pope, plus 4 first-round picks and 1 swap right. It can also be seen from the trading value that although they have not been selected as the All-Star, Bain's ability has been recognized by everyone.

From the "small city star" who is unpopular in high school to counterattacking the NBA's maximum salary with the label of "shortcoming arm span", Bain's growth trajectory confirms that efforts and resilience will eventually crush prejudice - he is not only the "meat-fitting Curry" of the NBA, but also the dream template for grassroots players.
