"I don't set specific goals for myself because I always want to be better."
——Fan Ziming
The editor said: If I were to use one word to describe my relationship with Fan Ziming, my answer would be "like a summer wind". He is not as invisible and gentle as the spring breeze, on the contrary, all the qualities that belong to the average big boy: enthusiasm, cheerfulness, sunshine, and a little cute hiss and "stinky farts", like the heat wave that comes to him in the summer, like his dedication to basketball - so pure and hot. Today's "Hello Young Man", let's walk into this sunshine big boy: Fan Ziming.

"I believe in heaven rewards hard work"
Fan Ziming raised a Treaty Kexia dog, and the small dog and the owner's figure formed a contrast between cute, and usually did not like to go out for a walk, "I have to pick it up after two steps." Fan Ziming said. He certainly had reason to "dislike" the laziness of his dog — because it was almost the exact opposite of himself.
In the offseason, the big friends and children who came to Shougang Sports Building and Shougang Basketball Center to visit and exchange, the most easily met group photo object was Fan Ziming. Without it, it's just that this summer, he spends a lot of time soaking in the gym and gym — the same every day since he joined Shougang. Practice free throws, practice shooting, practice strength, and even spread yoga mats in the hotel corridors to practice flexibility... Fan Ziming has always believed in the story of Tiandao's reward, and the progress he has made has also been seen by everyone - many fans have said: "In the second season of joining Shougang, Fan Ziming has achieved a qualitative leap! ”
In the first stage of the game, Fan Ziming can average 18.6 points, 8.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 0.8 steals per game, is the team's scoring king + rebounding king, his shooting rate of nearly 70% has become an important weapon for the team to crack the opponent's defense, the data almost doubled compared with last season; in the second stage, he still continued to be in good shape, and he got 20+10 data in the games with Shanxi and Jilin, which is one of the most stable output points on the offensive end of the team.

"It's not okay to just look fierce"
It is hard to imagine that at this time a year ago, Fan Ziming had been caught in a self-struggle, tossing and turning, and unable to sleep all night.
At the beginning of the 2020-21 season, Fan Ziming had just joined the team and had only been practicing with the team for a month. He wanted to quickly integrate into the system of Beijing Shougang, but coincidentally, the team was also struggling to find new chemistry among new players, new foreign players and new coaches. The violent collision made everything a little fragmented.
These struggles and grievances are as uncomfortable as drowning for Fan Ziming, and he is kindly encouraged by the fans: "I like Fan Ziming's eyes!" There is a fire in this young man's eyes, he really has the heart, he can definitely fight it! Fan Ziming wanted to prove himself more and more: "Only the eyes are fierce," he said, "I hope that everyone likes my performance on the field." ”
Faced with such a situation, Fan Ziming was very anxious. How to adjust and change as soon as possible, how to get out of such a downturn? With such a goal in mind, he began to ask many people for advice, trying everything he could, wanting to change the status quo.
Last season, many people saw Yannis guide Fan Ziming's defensive strategy on the spot, Zhai Xiaochuan used the time of the free throw to communicate with Fan Ziming how to run, and the defenders and Fan Ziming exchange tactics... But in the training sessions that everyone can't see, all of the above scenes will appear more frequently. Fan Ziming began to disassemble the goal of "playing better": "I will focus on each specific small thing, do everything well, so that I will naturally reach the place I want to go." This dismantling is reflected in every link of the training session, in every round on the field, and in Fan Ziming's own mind.

Big Boy's Careful Wish
Of course, no one is born a training maniac, and Fan Ziming is no exception. Off the field he is a very interesting big boy, raising dogs, drying dogs, chasing dramas, cooking (the most recent dish is tomato stew beef brisket), hand-brewing coffee, running all over beijing for a meal, and occasionally looking forward to training sessions can not run laps: the playground that the team has been using to practice physical fitness has been renovated in the summer, Fan Ziming excitedly took photos and specially sent a circle of friends, just like the students expect "school closures" The mood is overflowing - but soon, the team borrowed another playground, Not a single long-distance run was canceled, and Fan Ziming's "wish he made when he was a child" was not realized after all.
However, compared with the small "wish" of "training cancellation", Fan Ziming obviously has greater dreams and ambitions on the basketball court. During pre-match training, he had a small habit of stretching for a long time with his own elastic band before practicing with the ball. "I'm used to heating up my body first, then touching the ball, fully activating my upper and lower limbs, and when I'm ready to shoot, I'll feel a lot more comfortable."
Just like the warm-up process of slow adaptation, as time passes, the fusion between Fan Ziming and the team enters the upward channel, and he also receives more and more applause. But accustomed to looking at himself from an scrutinizing perspective, when faced with praise, Fan Ziming, who has always been grinning widely, revealed a rare shyness. All the pain, pain, and tiredness related to growth and transformation, in his case, eventually turned into a few words that were understated but weighed more than a thousand pounds: "Grit your teeth and persist in the past." ”
