On October 16, 2021, the Beijing Control Men's Basketball Team officially announced Sun Yue's retirement. This makes people feel that time passes quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the men's basketball team's 08 golden generation is only Yi Jianlian still playing in the CBA.
Sun Yue plays as a point guard on the field, because of his height of 204cm, his passing vision on the field is better than that of ordinary defenders. In addition to organizing offense, defense is also his best area, warm-up game hat Anthony, Olympic nail board hat Howard are his famous masterpieces!
In addition, he has won championships with the Lakers and twice helped Beijing Shougang win the championship. His retirement is regrettable, and if there is no repeated injuries, the talented "Sun Dasheng" should be able to go further.
Sun Yue's parents are basketball players, and Sun Yue has also inherited their excellent genes. In 1995, at the age of 10, Sun Yue went to Cangzhou Sports School in Hebei Province for formal basketball training. At that time, he did not have a great advantage in height, but the passing ability he showed on the field had been loved by Coach Zhang Guoqiang, so he came to Coach Zhang's command.
In 1999, when Coach Zhang Guoqiang learned that the Beijing Aoshen team was playing in Cangzhou, he approached the general manager of the Aoshen team and strongly recommended Sun Yue to them. With the efforts of Coach Zhang, Sun Yue got the opportunity to go to the Aushin team for trial training. At that time, the conditions of training and diet of the Aushin team were several times better than those of Cangzhou Sports School, and Coach Zhang also hoped that AiTu could climb higher mountains.
At the end of the three-month trial period, Sun Yue, who showed excellent talent, naturally stayed in the Aoshen team, and he was only 14 years old that year. Although he joined the Aoshen team as he wished, after all, he was too young, and Sun Yue was far inferior to others in terms of physical confrontation. Fortunately, he received careful help from his coaches and teammates, which allowed him to gradually adapt to the professional arena.
From the beginning of the 2002-03 season, the 17-year-old Sun Yue played in the CBA League with the team, although the statistics were mediocre, but as a 17-year-old player, he had a lot of room for improvement. The most unfortunate thing is that the Aushin team announced in 2005 that they gave up participating in the CBA league and instead joined the ABA league, which made Sun Yue miss the opportunity to learn and improve better.
Sun Yue played in the ABA League for several years and was appreciated by Yunus, and in 2008, Yunus brought Sun Yue, who was far away from playing in the ABA League, to the national team. That year's Chinese men's basketball team had many outstanding players, including Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi, and excellent shooters such as Wang Shipeng and Zhu Fangyu, known as the golden generation of the Chinese men's basketball team.
The Lineup of the American Dream Team is also very good, including NBA first man Kobe Bryant, NBA First Center Howard, James and Anthony with unlimited potential. When the two teams met in the group stage, Anthony, who had been hated by Sun Yue, made a bet with his teammates to see who could complete a dunk on Sun Yue's head, and the bet reached $500,000.
The high stakes are also making everyone eager to try, James, Anthony, Wade, Kobe... Each one is capable of flying and buckling. At that time, in a fast attack of the American team, Howard quickly received a pass from his teammate, and he just wanted to dunk, when the Sun Dasheng who followed him jumped high and slapped the ball the rebound, completing a jaw-dropping nail board cap.
It is worth mentioning that Howard won the NBA's best defensive player in the following three seasons.
Sun Yue averaged 8.5 points and 1.6 assists per game at the Beijing Olympics, and he also won a two-year contract with the Lakers for his excellent performances on the defensive end. Although Sun Yue landed in the NBA as he wished, his performance was not very good. Because the Lakers were the champion favorite team that season, Sun Yue did not get too many opportunities, plus his advantages were not prominent in the NBA.
In 2009, Sun Yue won the 2008-09 NBA championship with the Lakers, and he also became the second Chinese player to win the NBA. On August 1 of the same year, the Lakers officially cut Sun Yue. On September 18, Sun Yue and the Knicks signed a partial guarantee contract. On October 8, the Knicks announced the layoff of Sun Yue. At this point, Sun Yue's short NBA career is also over.
After Sun Yue returned from the NBA, he continued to return to the Aoshen team until September 18, 2013, when Aoshen boss Li Su died of a heart attack, and Sun Yue and three teammates were loaned to the Beijing men's basketball team. At this time, it has been ten years since Sun Yue last played the CBA. This makes people wonder if he can adapt to the intensity of the CBA after a long period of playing in the amateur league.
At that time, the Shougang team had excellent foreign aides such as Marbury and Morris, and there were young forwards such as Li Gen and Zhai Xiaochuan, and Sun Yue's arrival can be said to be the last piece of the puzzle for the Beijing men's basketball team to win the championship, and it is also an extremely important piece of the puzzle.
In 2014, Sun Yue scored a comprehensive statistic of 18 points, 6 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block in the sixth finals of the CBA, helping the Beijing men's basketball team win the first championship in team history and making him the first player in history to have both NBA and CBA championships.
In the 2014-15 season, Sun Yue helped the Beijing men's basketball team successfully defend the CBA championship!
Unfortunately, Sun Yue's career did not continue to be smooth, and in 2017, he suffered a season reimbursement due to a serious ankle injury, and this departure was two years. Until 2019, the North Control men's basketball team threw an olive branch to Sun Yue, who intended to make a comeback, and Sun Yue officially joined the North Control men's basketball team, and the head coach of North Control was also the former teammate Marbury.
Originally thought that the 34-year-old Sun Yue would most likely play the role of "locker room boss", but he did not expect that his form remained very good, averaging 12.2 points, 3.6 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game that season. Such a stunning performance also helped the North Control men's basketball team to advance to the playoffs, which is also the first time that the North Control men's basketball team has appeared on the playoff stage.
In the 2020-21 season, Sun Yue, who suffered from ankle injuries and back injuries, reduced his playing time to 25 minutes, and his average per game also fell to 4 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists. After all, the talented "Sun Dasheng" could not escape the erosion of years and injuries.
On October 16, 2021, the Beijing Control Men's Basketball Team officially announced that Sun Yue chose to retire.
Looking back at Sun Yue's career, he is already outstanding enough to be selected for the national team, the NBA championship, the CBA championship, he has it all. But his career is also a pity, if the Orion team can stay in the CBA league, then with his potential and talent, should be able to reach a higher level.
