At 3:12 am on March 17, 2009, a radio from the Houston Police Department called: "Professional basketball player was shot!" The protagonist of this bizarre case, Carl Landry, was running 400 meters with his shot calf, pressing the bloody fingerprint on the doorbell of a strange house. This night defined the most hardcore will to survive in NBA history. The most important thing is that the two guys who shot shot did find the wrong person in the end. When he was selected as the 31st pick in the second round in 2007, the 24-year-old Landry was regarded as an "old rookie". But fate turned on February 26, 2008 - Yao Ming's stress fracture was reimbursed for the season. Landry, who was ordered to take over the task, handing over the data, 16.8 points + 7.2 rebounds + 1.8 blocks per 36 minutes. In the first round of the 2008 playoffs, Deron scored the final score. His vertical jump height (86 cm) set a season's playoff record. The rookie's annual salary was only US$420,000, but his victory contribution value reached 5.3 (fifth in the team), which really tried his best.

Everyone must have a big impression of him, which is to use teeth to fight the world, the hardest defensive aesthetics in the NBA!

In 2008, he was elbowed by Mutombo, his front teeth were embedded in the locker room wall

in 2009 against the Mavericks, three broken teeth fragments were left in Nowitzki's elbow (Dieke retained teeth as a commemoration after the game)

cumulatively installed 7 dentures in his career, and the dentist's bill exceeded US$230,000

After being traded to the Kings in 2010, Landry started global basketball drifting: developed a 41.2% long two-point shooting percentage, but lost his job due to the small ball era. He played for the CBA Jilin team in 2016-17, averaging 24.6 points + 11.2 rebounds, and ignited the Siberian tigers at home with 32 dunks. At the age of 38, he averaged 8.4 points per game in the BIG3 League, and his three-point shooting percentage was 41.3% to complete the space-based inside evolution.

, and the Divine Bird's career hit rate was 68.9%, better than 83% of the inside line during the same period. He scored 5.1 free throws every 36 minutes, comparable to Embiid's rookie season. When 43-year-old Landry opened a basketball training camp in Houston, he always showed the tooth retrieved from Dirk's elbow to the students: "The tough guy is not afraid of pain, but he dares to put his face on his face after it hurts. "This basketball philosophy mixed with blood and romance is the most unique gift left by the "Divine Bird" to the arena.
