Michael Jordan's childhood story is not only unwilling to work at home, but also unwilling to "think too much" at school, and even more unwilling to do those annoying homework. Throughout elementary school and junior high school, Jordan's academic performance has been hovering between B and C+, but he is keen on all kinds of competitions. After his father finally realized that Michael could not succeed in his career and become a qualified mechanic, he decided to personally guide his son to learn basketball rules on the simple basketball court in his backyard. Soon, Jordan became a tiger in the primary school basketball team. Michael gradually understood some truth in the process of challenging others. He knows that proper self-discipline can keep him from getting hurt when he participates in various competitions. In sports, he challenged his brother Larry, who is one year older than him; In learning, he competes with his sister Lin, who is one year younger than him; In other ways, he challenged his parents. The arrival of adolescence has caused frequent troubles in Michael's life. He was suspended from school three times in the first grade of junior high school. Once because he left school to practice jump shots, and once because he threw popsicles at girls who called him a "nigger"; Once it was because of a fight with a boy who erased the ground wire that Jordan had painstakingly drawn on the school basketball court. In the third grade, Michael was "the last real battle of his life". One afternoon, Jordan is going to play baseball with his classmates. With the teacher's permission, he and a good classmate left class a few minutes early and drew lines on the open space. Just as they happily drew a baseball field with chalk and were about to invite their classmates over to play, a white child came over and asked him what they were doing and why they didn't go to class. Jordan patted the chalk dust on his hand and replied that some of their classmates would play baseball after class. Who knows the white man disdainfully said, "Who cares what you niggers want!" " "Jordan was so angry that he almost rushed up without thinking. The two men scuffled until other students who heard the news pulled them away. Jordan often recalls that his childhood hairstyle was nicknamed "the head of a kid" by his friends. He once told Diana Sawyer, the host of CBA's "60 Minutes Celebrity Interview" program, "Many people find fault with me in front of girls and laugh at me. They laughed at my hairstyle, my tongue-tied and other unusual details in my life. Girls also join in, so I can't get their favor and I can't date any of them. " This made Jordan one of the few boys who took home economics courses in the tenth grade of Laney Middle School. His ability to do housework has improved. In CBA's "60 Minutes of Celebrity Interview" program, Jordan recalled that almost everyone who went to his home would see him cleaning or tidying clothes with a vacuum cleaner in his hand. These things were spread out, making people think of him as a qualified young man-a qualified young man in a sensitive era-you know, he didn't loaf around, drink and fight all day like many of his peers. 15 years old, Jordan grew to 88 meters, high school 10 grade. Parents are very strict with their children's family education, so although Jordan is fun, his academic performance is ok, and he can still achieve excellent results in mathematics. With the development of bones, Jordan's athletic talent is increasingly revealed, and he really fell in love with basketball. However, what made his basketball skills advance by leaps and bounds was a shame that he still remembers. American high school basketball teams are divided into two levels. One team plays games on behalf of the school, and the other team sparring. Michael thought he could play in the first team alone, so he signed up with his good friend Rorio. On the day of issuing the list, they went to the school gym to see the list together. As a result, his friend was on the list, but he looked at the list several times and couldn't find his name. After school, Michael ran home, closed the door and cried. His self-esteem was greatly hurt. However, stubbornly, he just went to the coach, hoping to allow him to train with the team. The coach told him, "You are too short and you don't respond quickly. You have no future in playing basketball. " Michael came back disappointed. When the school team participated in regionals, Michael came to the coach to watch the ball with the team. Under his pleading, the coach relented and agreed to his request, but he had to look after the clothes for the members of the school team. In order to watch the ball, little Jordan had to walk into the stadium with his clothes on his arms. During this time, Jordan began to practice hard. He practices for 4 hours every day. Practice with the second team for the first two hours and the first team for the last two hours. After the training, he added more weight to himself. Whenever he has time, he will pat the ball to find a basketball stand and practice sweating. This habit he later brought to the NBA. Hard training laid a solid foundation for Jordan. A year later, the gate of the first team of the school team has no reason to refuse him. At that time, it grew to 1.95438+0 meters, and basketball skills were improving day by day.
