Luke Richard Barmot was selected by the Bucks in the 37th overall pick in the second round in 2008.

He has never been a high-profile star, and even when playing in NCAA, his data is not very explosive.

In 2008, compared with these shining names such as Derek Rose, Russell Westbrook, Kevin Love, etc., he was really ordinary and was submerged in a long list of rookies.

Although he successfully entered the NBA, he was still not well-known.

His poor offensive ability has made him almost never gained any attention, and his team's poor performance has also made him not as famous as Tony Allen's defense in the playoffs.

In this way, Bamot was wandering and wandering in the league. He traveled to many teams, and many fans of the team would forget him all the day after he left.

After all, in the NBA league, not all players can become superstars. The scenery at the top of the pyramid is very good, but it also needs to be set off by ordinary players.

And Bamot is one of these ordinary players.

If he had not joined the Clippers this year and owned Los Angeles, a large market with extremely high exposure, Bamot might have been even less well-known.

However, it is precisely such a blue-collar worker who is unknown in the league who is an absolute basketball hero in his country Cameroon.

"I just want to be a role model and tell Cameroonian children that they can have more choices." This is what Bamot said in an interview, and it is also the positive significance of his landing in NBA to Cameroon.

Cameroon is a single republic located in the central and western Africa. It has a good economy, but there are still many areas that are relatively backward. Many of Bamot's childhood playmates dropped out of school and went to work on the farm just to make a salary of one dollar a day.

Just because he had no money to buy medicine and food, Bamot even witnessed the death of his childhood friend.

Therefore, after entering the NBA, Bamot also used his influence and financial resources to vigorously develop Cameroon's basketball.

He goes home to hold basketball training camps every summer, hoping to discover more talented children.

He wanted Cameroonian children to fall in love with basketball, to believe that they have the potential and to work hard to do something extraordinary.

This is Bamot, a character who is ordinary in NBA, but in his country, is the hero in his mind.

With his efforts, there are now two Cameroonian players in the NBA in the league besides him.

Moreover, more and more people have changed their lives and destiny because of basketball.

He has come into contact with countless talented Cameroonian children, many of whom have become real professional players even if they cannot play in the NBA.

However, among the many children, what impressed Bamot the most was the child he met who was originally planning to play volleyball in France five years ago.

In June 2011, Bamot, who was less than 30 years old, went home to hold a basketball training camp as usual.

During the training camp, a thin child lit up Bamot's eyes.

He has a good physical fitness, fast attack, change direction, and turns around in one go. He rushed to the basket and burst dunk, and the basket frame swayed violently.

The most important thing is that the child grew to 2 meters 07 at the age of 17. When Bamott was most shocked, when he asked the coach at the training camp how long the child had played basketball, the coach scratched his head embarrassedly.

"It's only 6 months, and the system's formal training is 3 months."

"What!? What's his name?" Bamott was shocked. He could be like this in just three months of formal training. If he was sent to receive more professional training, he would not have to take off?

Afterwards, Bamot got a name that he remembered for life, "His name is Joel Embiid."

So two months after the training camp ended, Bamot arranged for Embiid to go to the United States.

At that time, Embiid could only say "good m", and he didn't even know whether ncaa was a dish or something else.

But with the help of Bamot, Embiid quickly adapted to this place. He played ball, trained, watched Olajuwon's video to see vomiting, and then continued to train.

After high school, Embiid and Bamot negotiated the matter about NCAA, and Embiid finally gained a foothold in Kansas.

After entering university, Embiid also felt disappointed when facing various geniuses. He found Bamot and confided in disappointment, "I don't think I belong here at all."

Just like the roar of his father when he knew he was going to play basketball in the United States, he stood up and slapped the table, "In Cameroon, no one will play basketball!"

However, Bamot just told him, "Don't talk nonsense, you will definitely be selected in the first round."

At that time, Embiid just smiled bitterly. He was no longer a brat. He knew that this was just a lie Bamot told to comfort himself.

Indeed, Bamot was lying to him.

The No. 1 pick in 2014 was Andrew Wiggins, who was known as another "son of choice".

But Embiid was also drafted by the 76ers in the third pick. At that moment, Embiid truly believed that he could play basketball.

But in fact, if it weren't for the injury of a stress fracture in his right foot in college, God would know if Embiid would really become the top scorer...

Although he entered the league as Tanhua, Embiid did not go smoothly after entering the NBA. To be precise, it was simply unlucky.

Because of his college injuries, Embiid, like No. 2 pick Griffin in 2009, was directly reimbursed for the rookie season.

In the summer of 2015, Embiid underwent another foot snail bone transplant surgery and is expected to recover for 5 to 8 months. This means that Embiid had reimbursed two consecutive seasons in the NBA before he played in one game...

Many people have forgotten this guy and this 14-year Tanhua show. When it comes to Joel Embiid, even the most senior NBA fans will be stunned for a second, and then look confused, "This name is so familiar, but I just can't remember who it is."

No one has any expectations for Embiid, and no one thinks that a person who has not played official games for two consecutive years can survive in the NBA.

Even when the 76ers officially announced that Embiid was about to come back this summer, no one cared about it.

But Embiid did not disappoint the expectations of Bamot and the 76ers for him. This guy who attracted Bamot's attention after just three months of formal training was like a beast that had been hungry for several days, and began to kill wildly in the league!

On October 26, 2016, Embiid played for the first time on behalf of the 76ers, and started his NBA debut two years later.

He started for 22 minutes and efficiently scored 20 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks.

A few days later, on November 1, in the 76ers' home game against the Magic, Embiid played for only 25 minutes and scored 18 points, 10 rebounds, 4 blocks and 3 assists!

This made Embiid the first player in the 76ers to score at least 18 points, 10 rebounds and 4 blocks in the 83-84 season without playing time exceeding 25 minutes!

On November 5, Embiid continued to shine and heat. He played in 25 minutes with the Cavaliers, making 7 of 13 shots, including 4 of 4 three-pointers, scoring 22 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 4 blocks!

Four three-point shots also hit a new high in his personal career!

The most terrifying thing about Embiid is that his playing time is completely different from his personal data. He often can produce quite exaggerated data only in a very limited time!

In this era when the center front was withering, Embiid's emergence shocked the whole world.

His shooting, speed, ball control and technology are fully in line with the requirements of modern basketball for centers!

Now, Embiid's legendary story has officially begun. People have been discussing where the upper limit of this guy is from the beginning.

Recalling all this Embiid experienced, Bamot is very proud. As it turns out, he didn't misunderstand it.

Of course, he knew Embiid could do better and he could attract more people's attention.

Now, all Embiid needs is an opportunity, and a strong enough opponent!

The Memphis Grizzlies and Link, seem to be the best candidates and springboards.

Bamott believes that as long as Embiid can play in the game against the Grizzlies, his popularity will continue to soar!

It can even be said that the game against the Grizzlies is likely to be a turning point in Embiid's career and the starting point for his "one goal to become famous".

If Embiid can win, then the next day, basketball fans around the world will know the name Jon Embiid!

Barmot knows the strength of Link and the Grizzlies better than anyone else. After all, he and the Clippers have just been killed.

But Bamot is full of confidence in Embiid.

It was as if he had firmly believed that Embiid would be selected in the first round.

That guy is a real genius.

On November 23, the 76ers will face the Grizzlies at home.

And before that, Embiid still has a long time to prepare.

Therefore, in recent times, in addition to paying attention to Embiid, Bamot is also particularly concerned about the situation of the Grizzlies.

What shocked Bamot was that the Grizzlies still won repeatedly after winning the Trail Blazers on November 7, and their winning streaks almost flattened the entire league.

The Grizzlies' outstanding form is quite unfavorable for the 76ers.

But just before the Grizzlies' match with the Sixers began, Bamot got good news.
Chapter completed!
