"I enjoy the feeling of constantly challenging myself and always chasing victory."
——Tian Yuxiang
Even if you are used to the contradictions and turns in life, "starting over" is never an easy task. Luckily, this time, he went home.
Today's "Hello Young Man", let us get close to this happy "returnee" - Tian Yuxiang.
There were two patella straps, which had been packed in Tian Yuxiang's backpack. Whenever it was time to play, Tian Yuxiang would bend down and tie them properly under his knees—as if a warrior had put on his armor, and when he looked up again to look ahead, he was ready to fight. "The patella band is mainly protective, and it has a good effect on shock absorption and knee pain," Tian Yuxiang said, "After wearing it for more than two years, it has almost become a habit and a small dependence of mine." ”
Years of wear and tear accumulation and a major knee injury in 2016 have made Tian Yuxiang drift away from the "four-in-one king who wears a down jacket and carries a school bag and can easily dunk", and "floor flow" and "steady" have long become his new labels.

But in fact, this is not the first major turning point in Tian Yuxiang's story, "contradiction" and "turning" have always been the key words that run through his life: a Beijing little master who is not afraid of heaven has entered the Bayi team, as if the foal has been put on a cage, making him extremely uncomfortable for a while; and in the previous many years, the Bayi team represented an incomparable "stability", but in the context of the institutional reform in recent years, these players faced a long period of no ball to play in the midst of the wind and rain. The road ahead is unknown, "I almost have to consider going to the Wildball League." Tian Yuxiang said jokingly. Of course, there is only one reason why he thinks this way - he wants to maintain a good competitive state and let himself play his due role in the new team. Being able to play for Beijing Shougang, the hometown team he supported as a child, is the most wonderful ending he can imagine.
If Tian Yuxiang was still in the adaptation period last season, only occasionally appearing against Shenzhen in the playoffs, then from the summer National Games, he gradually found his state: "The National Games have allowed me to better integrate into the team, and also let coaches and teammates see what kind of player I am, so that everyone can better understand my way of playing, and they are more familiar with and more trusting of each other." ”
In the first stage of the new season, Beijing Shougang faced the difficulties of the all-China class + Fang Shuo's absence due to injury, Tian Yuxiang and Liu Xiaoyu together supported the rotation of the defender line; in the second stage, when the defender line encountered a wave of injuries again, it was Tian Yuxiang who was vacant on top, and the two games against Tongxi and Shanxi gave the most assists to the whole team.
This season, Tian Yuxiang's assist-to-turnover ratio once reached a staggering 16, but he is very modest about it: "Maybe I do still have a stability mentality, play more conservatively, and minimize the possibility of making mistakes." In order to do this, he does a lot of homework in private: "I need to listen to the deployment of the coach, and I also need to observe and think for myself." 」 Because as a point guard, I have to get familiar with the habits and characteristics of everyone on the team, such as the position of Xi Ge (Zhu Yanxi) to receive the ball and shoot, and the position of the double tower down, so that the ball can be comfortably delivered to them. ”
Interestingly, Tian Yuxiang said that he also has a lot of wild ideas: "There are a lot of wild passing routes, maybe I don't dare to use them now." But after I get more familiar with the team, maybe I will use it on the field~
After coming to Beijing Shougang, Tian Yuxiang is gradually returning to his "nature", "If you want to choose an animal to compare yourself, I feel that I am the most like a monkey, because my personality is as naughty as a monkey", Tian Yuxiang said that he is a "zoo fanatic": "I like animals very much!" Every time I go to a new place, I'm sure to go to the local zoo for a walk! In addition, another place to easily meet Tian Yuxiang is various museums and exhibitions, Tian Yuxiang said that he visited the "China Millennium Monument: Meet Ancient Egypt" in the summer, and also found time to go to the Forbidden City at least once a year. In addition, he also likes to read novels, play escape rooms, and aspire to extreme sports... Tian Yuxiang's life is really rich and colorful.
How many paths does a person have to go to become what he is today? More than ten years of military career have left many indelible marks on Tian Yuxiang. The jacket that is always neatly folded on the sidelines, the shoes that are upright, the hands that cling to the seams of the pants when the national anthem is raised... Even when filming "Look at Beijing from a Higher Height" in the offseason, Tian Yuxiang deliberately chose a fashion item: a kettle, which is also the style of a military kettle.
