[Old General Record] The strongest talent recognized by Tatum!

Basketball

Harry Gars is the only player Tatum admitted that he was stronger than himself in high school; in addition, he is also a basketball genius that was rare in ten years published in Sports Pictorial; even though he was dragging two injured legs, he was still rated as the No. 1 high school student in the United States by ESPN.

Judging from the original scout report, Garles has Chris Webber in offense, and his basketball sense is comparable to Rodman. He is known as the next wolf king Garnett-like inside sweeper. He is a super genius who is loved by thousands of people.

was born into a family full of athletic descent. Garce's father was a dual-star in college basketball and rugby, and his mother was a teacher at a local middle school. In such a family, Garles was fully developed. His father was responsible for sports and began systematic training since childhood. In his backyard, his father built a simple basketball court for Garles; while his mother focused on academic studies and cultivated his son's learning ability. From the age of 8, Garce's father began to develop strict training plans for his son. Garles also showed his ability to be over-age during this process, and showed his extraordinary technical potential early on. He perfectly inherited his father's sports genes. Relying on his explosive power and speed advantages, he quickly emerged among children of the same age, laying a solid foundation for his future basketball path

Excellent basketball genes and a good learning atmosphere, Garles was able to grow at an astonishing speed. At the age of 12, he had grown to 188 cm and became a small star in North Carolina. At the age of 15, he transferred to Wesley College and started his legendary high school career.

After entering high school, the team coach saw Gales' uniqueness at first sight and chose to hand over the tactical core to this fledgling newbie. Garles did not disappoint his trust and averaged 13 points and 10 rebounds in his first year of high school, leading the team to win the interstate championship for three consecutive years. The potential of

's early rise also attracted the attention of the national team and got the opportunity to represent the United States in the U16. However, fate joked at him at its peak. In a game, Gars suffered a torn ligament in his left knee. The sudden disaster made him miss his sophomore season in his senior year, especially after the second operation, he chose a more radical treatment method and returned to the front line after only 5 months of rest, which also laid the groundwork for the subsequent serious injury.

The repeated injuries also made the outside world begin to doubt whether this genius who should have flew into the sky can set sail again?

Fortunately, this low point did not become the final chapter of Garce's basketball. After a long period of rest and self-recovery, he returned strongly in his senior year of high school, averaged 24 points, 13 rebounds and 3 blocks per game, led the team to win the national invitational championship, and ranked first in the ESPN American high school student in one fell swoop.

This talented power forward gradually began to attract the attention of scouts across the United States, and more and more basketball peers began to believe that Garles was still the talented boy destined to stand on the NBA stage.

In order to challenge higher and pursue greater dreams, Garce chose to transfer to Oak Hill High School, a famous basketball school in Oak Hill High School. The national scouts began to focus on him, hoping that the chosen son would shine on a higher stage.

However, fate hit him ruthlessly. In the first game on behalf of Oak Hill, Gars unfortunately suffered a torn cruciate ligament on his right knee, which directly led to his season reimbursement. After many serious injuries, the outside world began to question again: Did this young man, who was once known as the future star, miss the basketball dream?

Although it is scarred, Garce still received a five-star rating in the ESPN rating, ranking first on the list, and behind him are basically all familiar names, such as Tatum in the third place, Lonzo Ball in the fourth place, Adebayo in the fifth place, etc.

In the summer of 2016, Coach K personally visited and brought the super genius to Duke University. But unfortunately, in training camp, Gars tore the cruciate ligament of his right knee again, resulting in almost all of his freshman season being reimbursed, and only handed over a monotonous data of 3.9 points and 3.8 rebounds per game, and the draft pick also plummeted. But relying on his high school halo, Garles is still one of the most watched rookies in the 2017 class, and was finally selected by the Kings at the 20th pick in the first round.

For this scarred genius, the king was patient with Garce. After the draft, he set up a special medical team and gave him a year to take care of him, but unfortunately, it was too late. Garce's knees are like two seriously aging gears. Not to mention smooth operation, basically there is a possibility of lag with a slight exertion of force.

After a full year of evaluation, the medical team gave a very pessimistic conclusion: Garce, who was only 20 years old, had a knee wear equivalent to a 35-year-old veteran, and his knee resistance had basically completely wiped out his knee pressure resistance after multiple surgeries.

Unlike outside players, the key to the competition between inside players is lower limb strength. Whether it is defensive confrontation or rebounding position, knees are required to support speed and bounce bursts. After entering the NBA, Garles' vertical bounce height dropped directly from the original 96 cm to 81 cm. In addition, he could not gain weight and could not perform too much weight training. Even if he was approved to come back, he could not perform well.

He played 104 games in the first two seasons of his career, averaging only 7 points and 3.9 rebounds per game in 14.3 minutes. Although he can occasionally show his top talent, the team is unable to give him too much room for him to continue to develop under the long-term high-intensity and high-load management.

What's even more fatal is that not long after returning to the field, Garce's meniscus on his left knee was damaged again. This injury made the King completely lose his patience, refuse to execute his last year's team option, and become a free agent. Relying on his reputation as the No. 1 high school student in the United States, Garce still got several job opportunities after leaving the King, but his performance was still not as expected..

In 2024, Tatum led the Celtics to win the championship, and at the same time, Gales had already embarked on a journey overseas. He himself understood that his NBA career had basically come to an end. A few months later, Garles also appeared in the CBA arena.

It is worth mentioning that Garles and Tatum have a deep relationship. Because they wanted to seek NBA opportunities after being injured, no team was willing to provide Garles with a guaranteed contract, but Tatum still actively lobbies the league, which eventually led to the emergence of the [Garles Terms]:

Any player who is unable to complete the first three seasons of the game due to injury can re-qualify for signing a two-way contract. The revision of this system also provides players like Garles, who have suffered pain, with an opportunity to return to the NBA.

Looking back at the past moment, what Gals regrets the most may be that he failed to pay attention to his health and returned to the arena early after injury many times, causing his body to exceed the limit load. The repeated injuries also caused Garce's inner condition to fluctuate, and she even suffered from depression for a while.

In order to avoid his tragedy repeating itself in other young players, a few years ago, Garles chose to return to his hometown to establish a free basketball medical institution, dedicated to the protection of teenage injuries. Although abandoned by health, Garles never gave up on himself, and he still insisted on training.

On the homepage of Garce's personal social account, there is still a sentence:

"No one understands my voice, I can only talk to God."
