In recent years, the performance of the Chinese men's basketball team can be said to be unsatisfactory, not only in the 2019 World Cup at home, not even the Tokyo Olympic Games did not go in, it can be said that how much hope, how disappointed, and some netizens will now be the Chinese men's basketball team and the Chinese men's football team together to evaluate.
It turned out that under the leadership of Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, Yi Jianlian and others, the Chinese men's basketball team had achieved better results, and Liu Wei, who was in the same batch as them at the time, could be said to be the most scolded player, and the point guard back pot was also the tradition of the Chinese men's basketball team, but looking back, it was found that in fact, Liu Wei was already one of the best point guards in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team.
Today's story for fans is the story of Liu Wei, the back cooker, who is not only the best point guard in the history of the Shanghai team, but also probably one of the top point guards in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team.
Liu Wei, born on January 15, 1980 in an ordinary family in Shanghai, unlike many athletes born in a sports family, in fact, Liu Wei was very fat when he was young, and was often called a little fat by his classmates, he was also very late in contact with basketball, and he only touched basketball for the first time in the fourth grade of primary school.
Although he was overweight and had poor athletic ability at the time, he had an impressive height and was much taller than his peers, so the school's teachers often recommended him to play basketball. At that time, Liu Wei did not have much fun with sports, but after he came into contact with basketball, he began to have a strong interest in basketball, so he began to carry out professional training in school.
In 1992, Because Liu Wei had a good understanding and talent for basketball, he was photographed by the coach of Shanghai Luwan District Junior Sports School, and began more professional training. After entering the sports school, Liu Wei began to maintain a good shape, and trained hard, frantically practicing his dribbling and shooting, which also made him sticky to basketball better and better.
In 1994, Liu Wei entered the Youth Team of Shanghai as he wished, and two years later, because of his outstanding strength, he officially entered the Shanghai First Team, but he found that he had a very large gap with players of this level, not only a gap in physique, but also a very large gap in technology, such a level obviously did not get any opportunity to play, but by participating in higher level games, he also found his own shortcomings and made him work harder.
Entering the second season of the team, Liu Wei finally ushered in his debut in the CBA, although he did not play much time and time, but he has become a rotation player of the team. With the tempering of the game, Li Qiuping, the head coach of the Shanghai team at the time, discovered the potential of Liu Wei, and with the principle of employing people without doubt and doubting people, decided to reuse Liu Wei.
Liu Wei also did not live up to the expectations of his mentor, the playing time was increasing, and the performance was getting better and better, but due to the strength of the Bayi team at that time, Liu Wei and Yao Ming led the Shanghai team to attack the championship many times and failed, and the Shanghai team, which had been fruitless for several consecutive seasons, did not choose to give up, but chose to make a comeback.
In the 2001-2002 season, Liu Wei ushered in a full-scale outbreak, all the data can win the highest career, coupled with the strength of Yao Ming at that time, the Shanghai team met the Bayi team in the third finals, finally defeated them, won the championship of that season, after that season, Yao Ming went to the other side of the ocean, entered the NBA, and the cooperation between the two of them only existed in international competitions.
After Yao Ming left, Liu Wei is the real leader of the team, he also began to show his own general style, although he can get good data, but the team is difficult to win, the Shanghai team's record also began to decline all the way, Liu Wei with his excellent performance to become the most stable starting point guard of the national team.
Going out to the international competition made Liu Wei feel pressured, because basketball players from other countries were good at packing at that time, Liu Wei was even difficult to dribble in the international competition, and because of his own mistakes, he directly buried the game. At the 2002 Asian Games, Liu Wei was robbed of his dribble at a critical moment, causing the Chinese team to miss the championship.
Liu Wei was scolded on social media to be deceitful, at that time he was also accused by thousands of people, because Liu Wei was very concerned about other people's views on himself, and accumulated a lot of pressure in his heart, resulting in him often insomnia at night, and even a person cried from night to day, insomnia could not sleep will affect training, so Liu Wei had to come out to train when he could not sleep, tired to the point of falling asleep, whenever he mentioned this scene, Liu Wei would still be aggrieved to tears.
Many people began to scold him for only passing to Yao Ming, and also scolded him for only using his ass to push over half the court, not shooting will be scolded by the wave, shooting will be said to have better options, but in fact, he is China's best point guard player, let others play must not be half of him.
As long as the international competition is lost, he will be scolded, he also became the back of the Chinese men's basketball team at that time, in fact, the fans do not know, he is full of injuries, but as long as it is the need of the national team, no matter how difficult it is, he will also be, although scolded, but never complain.
Netizens always blacked him and said that he would only dribble through the half, and then pass the ball to Yao Ming, only to find out later that the other point guards of the Chinese team were even difficult to dribble through the half in the international competition, why call him the back pot man, is because in the game won by the Chinese men's basketball team, he did not get any praise, and when the Chinese team lost, he must be the most scolded player.
After 2013, due to the use of a new batch of excellent point guards such as Guo Allen and Zhao Jiwei, Liu Wei also ended his twelve-year national team career, and he was still able to play a wonderful performance in the Shanghai team, and he also became the oldest player in the Shanghai team.
In 2014, because Yao Ming had become the boss of the Shanghai team, Liu Wei thought about discussing with Yao Ming about the renewal of the contract, but Yao Ming thought that he should still follow the procedure, the agent should communicate with the management, in order not to weaken the power of the management, Yao Ming only replied to Liu Wei with a few brief words to let him communicate with the management.
Liu Wei believes that Yao Ming, who has become the boss, has changed, the class has also changed, and the original brotherhood has caused huge problems, so Liu Wei decided to join the Xinjiang team in the new season, leaving the team where he had been for 17 years, and Yao Ming also officially parted ways, and there was no contact between them for a long time.
After four years, Liu Wei returned to his hometown again, and completed his CBA career record of breaking 10,000 points in shanghai, and also became the third Mr. Wanfen in the CBA.
In 2019, Liu Wei announced his retirement, the Shanghai team in order to commemorate Liu Wei's dedication to the Shanghai team, decided to retire his No. 8 jersey, at the retirement ceremony, Yao Ming also personally participated, Liu Wei and Yao Ming also really froze the previous suspicions, he also felt sorry for his short vision that year, Yao Ming also said that he did not think enough, and the misunderstanding between the two was truly resolved.
In fact, Liu Wei is not bad, that year also almost landed in the NBA, although he does not have the real strength of the NBA, but in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team, his strength in the point guard is also one of the best, although it is not the most eye-catching one in the international competition, but throughout the history of the men's basketball team, he not only promoted the development of domestic basketball, but also in the history of basketball in Our country can also be regarded as a great title.
The golden generation of that year was only Yi Jianlian, and I also hoped that this group of Chinese men's basketball team members could take on the big responsibility as soon as possible, play the spirit of the old team members, and also hope that netizens can encourage our players more, because we only have a common home team, that is: the Chinese team! I also hope that Chinese basketball can get better and better.
Thank you for reading, praise and attention, the new year will be rich! Happy New Year, everyone!
