Liu Yudong used one sentence to unveil the inside story of the Chinese men's basketball team, and it turned out that what Fan Zhiyi said was true.
On a program, Liu Yudong said bluntly:
"The men's basketball team on the court is a bunch of soft bones, and they have no spirit at all!"
You must know that the level of the Chinese men's basketball team many years ago was not low, and Yao Ming's record is obvious to everyone, but in the history of the men's basketball team, there is still a special person.
He is Liu Yudong, who has the title of "God of War".
Some people may be unfamiliar with his name, but he has won many honors, in other words, he has helped the Chinese men's basketball team reach the top.
In the first ten years of the CBA, the golden generation of forward gods was stable at the peak, and it was an era of fairy fights, and in 2005, Liu Yudong, the god of war, got more than 60% of the votes and was elected the best player of the decade in the CBA.
This title already speaks to his status and abilities.
At the same time as this achievement, he also served as the flag bearer for two Olympic Games.
The accolades are also countless. However, he is such a good player, but he said that he is not a world-class player at all.
I don't even have the qualifications to be selected, whether these words are modest or factual, you can know by looking at the results.
Liu Yudong
In fact, he said that the men's basketball team is a bunch of soft bones, and he didn't seem to say it, after all, in their era, playing ball only relied on one word. Put together!
He has been loyal to the "Bayi Men's Basketball Team" for many years, and has also entered the national team, and is one of the "golden generation" of the men's basketball team that year.
You know, among the many athletes who have been practicing basketball since childhood, he is not a talented player, but fortunately, he is very tough and works extremely hard.
He came into contact with basketball at the age of 15, and in 1993 he became the youngest Bayi player, and in the subsequent Asian Men's Basketball Championships of the National Games, he contributed good results and helped the team win one championship trophy after another.
But after winning the trophy, he was still not satisfied with the status quo, knowing that there was still a gap between himself and the team, and in order to be able to make up for the gap in talent, he began to practice his strength desperately.
In the end, he put 130kg sideways and 150kg bench press, and this explosive power made him invincible in the field.
And only a very small number of his strength data can reach it in China, and even the famous Yao Ming has not been able to practice this level of strength.
In the end, Liu Yudong successfully won the title of "victory" in the match against United States that year, when the two sides were also very anxious, but in the end he directly entered the penalty area and instantly turned the situation around.
Therefore, he won the title of "God of War".
It's just that this title was not earned easily, and the price he paid was extremely heavy. Because he worked too the court and exercised at high intensity every day, his body was also irreversibly damaged.
In 2003, after he led the team to win the first prize again, he took out dozens of broken bones from his knee.
But he carried it hard, and dragged his almost scrapped knee for three seasons to cut the highest score.
But this record came with irreversible damage, and he retired due to injury after this game, and now he is a colonel, a high-ranking athlete in the basketball circle.
He can be described as a well-deserved top athlete, even Yao Ming said:
"Liu Yudong is the only player so far who makes me feel that no matter how I defend, it is useless."
If such a strong player is not world-class, then who can be qualified for this title, maybe netizens gave different answers.
Wang Zhizhi
As we all know, the dream of all basketball players to enter the NBA.
And not many people from the mainland can enter here, and Wang Zhizhi is the first person in China. is different from Liu Yudong's accumulation, Wang is a talented player.
Born in a basketball family, he has a very dominant height, and he has been exposed to the sport since he was a child, and entered the Chinese men's basketball team at the age of 17.
In '95 he was on the international stage, and at the Atlanta Olympics that year, he came out of nowhere and showed everyone what he was capable of.
He is almost an all-rounder, he can run and jump like flying, and he is good at dunking and blocking and passing. And he gives the public the impression that he can do anything, and can do everything well.
At his height, it is a rare feel and movement.
At the same time, because of his excellence, he is favored by the NBA, but it is not easy to reach the dream place of all basketball players.
Later, he finally made it to the Mavericks and was ready to make a big splash on the international stage.
However, the training intensity and coaching methods abroad are very different from those in China, and he did not play at a high level abroad.
Later, he returned to China.
Although he didn't get results in the NBA, his achievements cannot be denied because of this. After all, he won the National Games championship and led the team to six consecutive championships in the men's professional men's basketball league.
This achievement is rare in China.
When he finally retired, the 12 gold medals he wore around his neck were enough to show how unstoppable his career was.
Yao
When it comes to Wang Zhizhi, we have to mention Yao Ming. After all, it was he who brought the name of the Chinese men's basketball team into thousands of households, and also made more people understand and like this sport.
He single-handedly reversed the NBA's perception of Asian basketball players and promoted the development of basketball in Asia.
Although many people complain about him, they have to admit his status in the basketball world.
When he entered the NBA, he was not favored, with stiff movements, slow reactions, and even frequent violent steals on the court.
The angry coaches all scolded off the field, and there were boos outside the field after the game.
But he didn't give up because of this, but began to "kill all sides", and later even O'Neal was impressed, saying that he was the first person to cap me three times in a row, and the first person to hit a jumper when he turned to face my eyes.
In 2004, the NBA moved the game to Shanghai and presented a gift package to the fans.
Because of his outstanding performance in the NBA, he was finally inducted into the Hall of Fame, becoming the first Asian player to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Later, he had to choose to retire due to injury, and after retiring, he decided to change the status quo of Chinese basketball, but this goal was not so easy to achieve.
Today, he is still firmly moving forward on this road, hoping to have a good result in the future.
Hu Weidong
It can be said that he is a well-deserved leader of the Chinese men's basketball team, and even Yao Ming, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame, said,
Hu Weidong was the best Chinese player of my time.
And just how good is he?
Known as the "Chinese Jordan", he is the Chinese who can score thirty points on Kobe's head.
He played against Kobe Bryant on the court that year, Kobe Bryant scored 22 points, and he scored 30 points. For him, no matter how strong the opponent is, he has never been false!
In the CBA, he is simply a bug-like existence, he is a three-time scoring champion, a two-time steal king, a two-time assist king, a two-time MVP, and a three-point contest champion.
He has a bounce against the sky, a tough style of play, and accurate three-pointers, and he can't seem to find his shortcomings, and because of his 1.98 meters, he is known as "Chinese Jordan".
However, even an athlete with an anti-sky level has 800 degrees of myopia, and he can't see the timer and score clearly on the field.
But the three-point shot was accurate.
When asked why he has such accurate skills, he says that he has practiced more and is in place. Indeed, in the early years, he was asked by his coach to not shoot enough 600 3-pointers to eat.
It was this rigorous training that honed the accuracy of his three-point shot.
But it's a pity that he missed the opportunity to enter the NBA because of his talent, and he was also excited when the Mavericks threw an olive branch to him.
It's just that fate played a big joke on him, because the pain was too serious, so he could only refuse the other party's invitation.
Later, when he retired, the head coach of the Dream Team, Nelson Sr., also gave him a Mavericks' No. 8 jersey, which can be regarded as a fulfillment of his regrettable dream.
In other words, if he went to the NBA back then, would it rewrite the fate of Chinese basketball?
Yi
In him, he was invisibly always labeled as "the next Yao Ming" by the public.
After all, he is an athlete who entered the NBA after Yao. But if you are familiar with his style of play, you will know that he is not a "substitute" for anyone.
Twenty years ago, he was the youngest All-Star in CBA history, and three years later he was in the NBA. It took only two months to become one of the rookies in the East.
Later, he had championships, MVPs, scoring champions, block champions, rebounding champions, and he won almost all the honors of Asia's top leagues.
And when he has such excellent results, he can't escape the ridicule of some netizens.
No matter how hard he works on the field, there are always people who want to spray him for his unprofessionalism, saying that he has a single skill and a rigid attack.
He didn't take the "ridicule" from the outside world to heart, but proved himself with his achievements again and again.
But at the same time, because he worked too hard, he had to retire after the Achilles tendon rupture.
epilogue
In the past few years, Chinese basketball has also had some records in the world, but in recent years, it has not had the scenery of the year. Even Fan Zhiyi complained on the show that the Chinese men's basketball team played like this, and he didn't want to lose his face.
Maybe what Liu Yudong said is indeed true, and today's athletes are a little "unspeakable", but this is only some circumstances, and it is not enough to represent everyone.
Maybe in the future, Chinese basketball can regain the scenery of the past, and a world-class basketball player will appear again.
But then again, everyone has a different concept of world-class in their minds, so the selection of players is also very different.
And what do you think?
