At the flick of a finger, it has been several years, do you remember those old players who fought the field that year? Click 'Follow' and review together.
Han Pengshan, 2.17 meters tall, was born in Hebei in 1961.
He was born into a rural family. The family is very tall, the father is 1.94 meters, the mother is 1.76 meters; the two sisters are also above 1.80 meters.
When Han Pengshan was 15 years old, his height was more than 1.90 meters. His father was a village teacher who often played in his father's school, practicing dribbling and shooting.
Han Pengshan and the children of the same age stand out from the crowd. Don't look at his tall, but very flexible, can run and jump, just a little short-sighted.
Because of his tall age, Han Pengshan was young but famous in the local area. Not long after, he was selected into the team by the Hebei men's basketball team.
However, shortly after joining the team, he suffered from tuberculosis and could not train for a large amount of exercise for several consecutive years. He could only do some basic training, which also laid a solid foundation for him later.
By the time he was fully recovered and returned to the court, he was almost 20 years old, and his size had soared above 2.10 meters.
Han Pengshan is tall, but his feet are agile and his bouncing is excellent, reaching a height of 3.70 meters.
Han Pengshan has a cheerful personality, loves to talk and talk, and has a clear mind. Because of the thin body, it is difficult to play under the basket. He practiced outside shooting, dribbling, and sometimes dribbling the ball himself through the frontcourt.
In January 1982, the 21-year-old Han Pengshan was selected for the new Chinese men's basketball team formed by Qian Chenghai. Prepare to participate in the Colombia Men's Basketball World Championship in August and the New Delhi Games in November.
Since the team is basically composed of young players (the oldest Kuang Lubin is 26 years old, the youngest Wang Libin is 19 years old), the Chinese team won the 12th place at the World Championships.

The final of the New Delhi Games is against South Korea. Because Mu Tiezhu did not play with the team, the advantages of the previous internal line were gone, the scores were staggered, and the atmosphere was so tense that people were breathless.
At this time, Han Pengshan could not play due to lack of experience in large-scale competitions, and could not share the pressure for his teammates, and he could only hand water and towels to his teammates in a hurry.
In the end, when the Chinese team lost the game by 84-85, a one-point difference, the players bowed their heads and left in tears.

Han Pengshan felt that if he usually worked hard and fought for some gas, maybe he could stand on the playing field and rely on his height advantage, would he still not be able to score a goal? He secretly vowed to train hard, make himself a useful person, and contribute his share.
Since then, he has been strict with himself and has made rapid progress. Head coach Qian Chenghai likes Han Pengshan very much and has devoted a lot of effort to his key training. Taking him on a trip abroad and competing in various countries has allowed him to see the world and increase his experience.
He also finally met the requirements of the coach, could participate in the game, and became a main player.
During his trip to Yugoslavia, the famous center Josic praised Han Pengshan as the best center of the Chinese team he had ever seen.

Don't look at Han Pengshan's tall head, but it is not stupid to run at all, and can play fast attacks with the whole team, running fast, often staging fast dunks and dunks.
Although he is thin and difficult to play under the basket, he has a high shooting percentage, and with the advantage of height and arm length, the shooting point is high and it is difficult for opponents to cover.
Passing awareness and coordination skills are also quite good. At that time, he was recognized as the most promising center forward after Mu Tiezhu.
In 1983, at the 12th Men's Basketball Asian Championship held in Hong Kong, when Han Pengshan was preparing to show his fists, he only played for ten minutes due to an ankle sprain.

Even for a few minutes shocked the Japanese and South Korean teams, who thought that Han Pengshan could not only replace Mu Tiezhu, but also raise the speed of the whole team.
After that, Han Pengshan's skills became more and more sophisticated, and he visited many countries with the team. European centers are tall, but as long as Han Pengshan is present, they do not dare to fight the inside line, or they are jealous.
Especially against the European powerhouse France, Han Pengshan performed even better, with the Chinese team only losing 3 points and successfully suppressing the French center.
Han Pengshan has begun to slowly grow into an important fulcrum of the Chinese team, and the role of attack and defense is becoming more and more obvious. If he could mature, I don't know how far he would go.
A rising star is rising.
In 1983, After playing at the Asian Championships, Mu Tiezhu retired from the national team. At this time, the center of the Chinese men's basketball team was replaced by Han Pengshan and became the key training player of the Chinese team. He has a good chance of becoming the best center in China in the 80s.

In 1984, the Chinese team will go to the Los Angeles Olympic Games, and having players like Han Pengshan on the inside line will reduce the pressure brought by the giants under the basket, and the offensive end will definitely make the other side feel tricky.
However, while dreaming of a beautiful picture, misfortune happened.
In March 1984, Han Pengshan asked the team for a day off to prepare to go home for a blind date. It was a happy event for him, but it turned into a tragedy.
On the train, Han Pengshan was recognized by the fans, he chatted with the fans, and when the train was about to arrive at the station, he got up to get his luggage. Since something had fallen out of his luggage, he bent down to pick it up, but he fell over and never got up again. The cause of death was caused by heart problems.
When the team heard the news, the teammates couldn't believe the bad news. Before he left Beijing, he said that he would bring the pears from his hometown for his teammates, but he never returned.
Head coach Qian Chenghai cried even more. A new star was about to shine, but it disappeared.
Han Pengshan has just moved from infancy to maturity, but he has encountered misfortune, which makes people feel sorry. Countless sports fans are also quite shocked, why an athlete suddenly died suddenly, there is a question in everyone's mind.
Afterwards, it was confirmed that Han Pengshan suffered from "Ma Fan syndrome", and just more than 10 days before returning home, the team doctor had just done a chest lens and electrocardiogram for him, and no abnormalities were found.

Head coach Qian Chenghai sadly rushed to Han Pengshan's hometown overnight to comfort his family.
Qian coach is very clear that it is very rare to have a player like Han Pengshan in China. His departure is a loss for Chinese basketball. I don't know how many years it will take for another one to appear.
Since Han Pengshan was already the initiator of many tactics in the national team, his departure disrupted all plans. At this time, only four months before the Olympic Games, Qian Chenghai made adjustments to the whole team.
From Shandong, Wang Haibo and Song Tao, who are 2 meters tall, 2.08 meters tall, Hu Zhangbao, who is 2.16 meters tall in Nanjing, and Guan Deyou, who is 2.08 meters tall in Jilin team, were temporarily transferred to the national team for training. The final entrants to the final squad for the Olympics were Hu Zhangbao and Wang Haibo.

The 1984 Los Angeles Olympics was the first Summer Olympics in which New China participated. The Chinese men's basketball team defeated France and Egypt in seven games to finish tenth.
If Han Pengshan is here, will the performance of the Chinese team be better?
Han Pengshan is like a meteor passing before our eyes, and he does not leave us with too many wonderful moments and memories.
But it is undeniable that he was a material worth looking forward to in the 80s of the Chinese basketball world, and his departure was the loss of Chinese basketball.
Nowadays, medical equipment and conditions are developing rapidly, and we sincerely hope that our athletes can maintain good health and create glory for the cause of sports in our country.
