The basketball game is changing with each passing day, and the story of one person, one city and one team is particularly precious. Bryant dedicated his life to the Los Angeles Lakers, Duncan to the holy city, haslem, who is over forty years old, still guards his Miami...
In the CBA, there is also a moving story of one person, one city and one team. This story begins in 2000, when Yang Ming came to Shenyang alone from Dalian...
Yang Ming was born in Dalian, a city of football. As a teenager, football was his favorite, like the children around him. Going to the school football field every day after school and ending a whole day of study life with a football game is the complete "schooling".
Although they would return home with a body of mud every time, Dalian at that time was a city surrounded by football, and local parents also supported their children to play football. But because Yang Ming's father was once a basketball player, under the influence of his father, Yang Ming's interest gradually shifted to the field of basketball.
When Yang Ming was 15 years old, his parents decided to send him to Shenyang Provincial Sports School for professional basketball training. Therefore, since 2000, Yang Ming has formed an indissoluble relationship with Liaoning basketball.
The first days in Shenyang were the most difficult period for Yang Ming:
"At that time, I felt that the training was particularly hard, and I would secretly cry in the quilt almost every night. Of course, it's not all because of training, after all, I was only 15 years old at the time, which 15-year-old child doesn't love family. ”
Liaoning is a major sports province in China, especially in the field of basketball, starting from Wu Qinglong to continuously send defender talents to the Chinese men's basketball team. Because Yang Ming likes to control the overall situation on the court, he has been inspired to become a point guard of the national team since he was a child. After 3 years of brutal competition, teammates in the same dormitory have been eliminated, and Yang Ming has reached the end and joined the Liaoning Youth Team.
Judging people by their appearance is not a positive word, but it is undeniable that our first impressions usually come from appearance. After Yang Ming was promoted to the first team by Jiang Xingquan, the titan of the Liaoning men's basketball team at the time, every time the Liaoning team played, there were fans who would quietly talk about his handsome appearance. Slowly, because of his outstanding appearance, Yang Ming began to attract the attention of fans.
Yang Ming, who is 193cm tall, is a big point guard in China, and his style on the court is flowing and his vision is wide, which is quite loved by Jiang Xingquan's guidance. He was named to the All-Star Team during his debut season in the CBA and won the MVP of that year's CBA Rookie Tournament. In the 2005-06 season, Liaoning guo shiqiang retired, and the team's main point guard position was vacated. Jiang Xingquan, who was good at using young players, immediately straightened Yang Ming and became the team's main point guard.
That season, Yang Ming's average playing time also soared to about 30 minutes, and Jiang coached him almost gave him unlimited firing rights on the court. Letting him play, scoring, assisting, stealing, young Yang Ming frantically showed his ability on the court. Fans on the sidelines found that the No. 12 player of the Liaoning team was handsome and could play.
That season, Yang Ming averaged 12.6 points per game with more than 50% shooting, scoring more than 40 points in 2 games and more than 30 points in 3 games. He completed the inheritance of the Liaoning team's defender line with his performance on the pitch, almost perfectly filling the gap left by Guo Shiqiang.
In Yang Ming's 2005-06 season, Liaoning's away match against Beijing became a classic battle of his career.
At that time, Zhang Qingpeng, another point guard of the Liaoning team, did not go to Beijing with the team due to injury, and Yang Ming became the only candidate for the team's point guard position. However, just before the game began, Yang Ming was diagnosed with a fracture of the peri-bone of his left wrist, and the doctor warned him that he absolutely could not play the game, and he needed to be cast immediately!
At that time, The Liaoning team and the Shandong team competed for the top three seats, and Yang Ming insisted on playing a fixed game. In the game, the left hand can hardly exert power, which greatly affects Yang Ming's shooting efficiency. In the game, the scores were staggered upwards. Yang Ming almost gave up shooting, frequently breaking through the opponent's inner line.
In the end, in the game, Yang Ming completed 9 throws and scored 35 points in the whole game. In the face of Yang Ming's throwing, Beijing's main center Batel sighed after the game: "I can do everything I can, but I can't cover his throwing." After completing a free throw, he put his hands to his ears and "listened" to the sounds of the fans, achieving the classic moment of "raising his hand to listen to Beijing's scolding, breaking his wrist to shine in Beijing".
In the 2017-18 season, the Liaoning team brought by Guo Shiqiang was hailed by the outside world as the best Liaoning team ever. Guo Allen and Zhao Jiwei took Over Yang Ming's gun and controlled the team's offensive organization. Han Dejun gradually grew into a CBA interior hegemon, and the dual foreign aid combination of Hudson and Bath can attack and defend. Coupled with the assistance of role players such as Liu Zhixuan, He Tianju and Zhong Cheng, Liaoning is bound to win the CBA championship.
That season, Liaoning was in the regular season, and the playoffs were also smooth, facing Zhejiang Guangxia after seven games with Shandong in the finals. Guo Shiqiang's team did not give opponents a chance to breathe, winning four consecutive games and winning the CBA championship for the first time for Liaoning. And in the final of the 2017 Tianjin National Games, Liaoning defeated Xinjiang to win the championship and completed the double championship within one year.
After a crazy season, Yang Ming has gradually faded from the main lineup of the team, but he is still the captain of the Liaoning men's basketball team and has become a bridge between the players and the head coach.
In 2019, after 14 seasons of conquest, Yang Ming chose to retire due to injuries. In the self-media, Yang Ming wrote: "It's time to say goodbye to this jersey..." In November of the same year, in order to honor the team's meritorious captain, the Liaoning team held a grand retirement ceremony for Yang Ming and retired his jersey. Yang Ming also became the first player in liaoning's history to retire his jersey.
After retiring, Yang Ming was immediately appointed deputy general manager of the Liaoning team. Yang Ming, who walked up to the management, put on a suit and was handsome and elegant. However, in the 2019-20 season, the Liaoning men's basketball team ushered in a turbulent period, and the meritorious coach Guo Shiqiang voluntarily resigned because of the team's poor performance. At the time of the team's crisis, Yang Ming was pushed to the position of manager of the Liaoning men's basketball team.
"I want to be a polite manager!"
This is Yang Ming's statement to the outside world at the beginning of his tenure, as the game deepens, fans see Yang Ming who is excited on the sidelines again and again, and Ruya is also left in the post of "deputy general manager" by him. After helping Yang Ming, the Liaoning men's basketball team also invited back Taidou Jiang Xingquan to assist the young marshal. With the assistance of Enshi, Yang Ming led the Liaoning men's basketball team back to the CBA Finals.
Although in the first two seasons of Yang Ming's coaching, the team has reached the finals, as they did 5 years ago, they have also returned home twice in a row. Yang Ming also summed up his short coaching experience: the tuition is paid, from the players to the coach, our team is still improving, as a head coach I need to take on more responsibilities. But the goal will not change, the future is still hoping to lead the team to the CBA championship!
