Liaoning men's basketball team, this team in the history of the CBA is definitely a strong, and in this team has also emerged a large number of basketball celebrities, Li Xiaoyong, Guo Shiqiang and other players in the history of Liaoning basketball are in an important position, in recent years, Liaoning team has also presented a "bright stars" situation.
Li Xiaoxu this player must be very familiar to everyone, Li Xiaoxu is known as the "second brother" or "second brother", he can be said to have made an indelible contribution to the development of the Liaoning men's basketball team, until this season, Li Xiaoxu has played in the Liaoning men's basketball team for 16 years, he represented Liaoning Panpan in the professional league in 2005, Li Xiaoxu was born in 1990, he was only 15 years old when he entered the CBA, and he cut 10 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist in the first game of his CBA career. He also became the youngest player to play in the CBA's professional league, and so far, no one has been able to break his record.
Li Xiaoxu was lucky at the beginning of his career, he got a relatively stable playing time in the second season of his career, and then his performance has always been stable and rising, in the year when Li Xiaoxu was 19 years old, he ushered in a career explosion, he was just an adult that season he could get the all-around data of averaging 15.5 points, 8.5 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game, he was also selected for the national team for his excellent performance, and then he ushered in his peak period, he once played a double-double data of 15.5 points and 13 rebounds per game.
Li Xiaoxu is a very peculiar player, he can do all the things that a player in the big forward position should do on the court, and he can also top the center position, he not only plays extremely tough under the basket, he also has a very stable shooting ability, especially his long two-point projection level can be said to be super high, and Li Xiaoxu is also a certain threat outside the three-point line.
Although Li Xiaoxu has a variety of offensive capabilities, but what is proud of him is his defense, his defensive ability can be said to be the top level in China, it is no exaggeration to say that Li Xiaoxu is fully capable of defending players in any position on the court, on the outside he can prevent the breakthrough of opposing players, on the inside he can interfere with the opponent's layup, he can also withstand the attack of the opposing center under the basket, and his ability to change defense is also first-class level, excellent traverse ability makes his role in the defensive end more obvious, Coupled with the experience and skills he has accumulated in the CBA for many years, Li Xiaoxu can be regarded as a defensive master in the CBA league.
Li Xiaoxu's tactical position in the Liaoning men's basketball team is very important, he can both open up the space, but also in the inner line to protect the frame, and his cover quality is excellent, without Li Xiaoxu, the Liaoning men's basketball team in the 2017-2018 season championship will not come so easy, Li Xiaoxu for several years as a day to stay in the Liaoning basket, this spirit can be said to be worth learning countless players.
In the Liaoning team to make outstanding contributions at the same time, he is also a grateful person, Liaoning team cultivated him, he is also selflessly returning the team, in fact, although Li Xiaoxu's performance on the court is extraordinary, but his salary is not a high level, in the first few seasons of his career, Li Xiaoxu's annual salary is only hundreds of thousands of yuan, after playing super god performance, his salary level is only more than 2 million yuan, which is simply a world of difference compared with those top salary players, in fact, many people know, Li Xiaoxu is a rich man,His hometown is Gangtun Town, Huludao City, Liaoning Province, and his family is engaged in rare metals such as steel and minerals, it is no exaggeration to say that all the assets of Li Xiaoxu's family must be counted in hundreds of millions, so Li Xiaoxu is not playing to make money, but he is the fiercest one on the court.
Li Xiaoxu as a rich second generation, his style of acting is extremely low-key, he will not let himself appear different, under the court he is a "second brother" who can get along with his teammates and do not have a little idol baggage, on the field he has also been conscientious, Li Xiaoxu has said many times that basketball is his favorite sport, his childhood dream is to be able to become a professional basketball player, he also mentioned many times that he is willing to put all his energy into the basketball career, Li Xiaoxu's simple love for basketball is really worth learning from everyone.
Li Xiaoxu's skills are amazing, but what he admires most is his spirit of never accepting defeat, Li Xiaoxu's basketball road can be described as a twist and turn, he has faced injury problems many times throughout his career, in a physical test in the 2016-2017 season, Li Xiaoxu suddenly fell to the ground with a serious injury while running back, and then he was diagnosed with a ruptured Achilles tendon, people who understand sports understand what such a serious injury means, stronger than Kobe Bryant can not fully recover after the Achilles tendon rupture, After the serious injury of the decline in competitive state must be inevitable, the second brother Li Xiaoxu has also been confused, Li Xiaoxu said that the injury in 2016 caused a serious blow to his body, spirit, and will, and many players chose to retire directly after encountering the same kind of injury, after that major injury, Li Xiaoxu did not play for a whole season, but the second brother did not flinch, and he returned to the field on April 14, 2017.
After the big injury, Li Xiaoxu's state decline is more obvious, but he is still desperately doing all the things he can do on the court, scoring, blocking, grabbing rebounds He is always the toughest and most positive one, but the heavens did not pity him because of Li Xiaoxu's love for basketball, in the 2019-2020 Liaoning men's basketball team against Shanxi team, Li Xiaoxu suffered a serious injury again, he was diagnosed with a right knee anterior cruciate ligament injury this time, another major injury, after the second brother fell to the ground, Zhao Jiwei angrily put the ball to the floor, he Tianju on the team bench also left tears when he saw the injured second brother, the second brother at this time has reached 30 years old, he has been fighting in the CBA for 15 years, li Xiaoxu's age is 26 years old when he encounters a rupture of the Achilles tendon, after 4 years, Li Xiaoxu actually suffered such a serious injury again, after falling to the ground, Li Xiaoxu's eyes also contained tears, fans know that the second brother is not crying because of pain, he is crying because of disappointment, He knows that it will be difficult to return to the CBA after this injury, and the tears of the second brother are flowing because of his love for basketball.
Two serious injuries, when the fans think that the 31-year-old Li Xiaoxu can not return to the CBA game again, in the July 17, 2021 Liaoning men's basketball team against the Jilin team, Li Xiaoxu once again ushered in a comeback, so far, the second brother 358 days later came to the professional arena again, October 17, 2021, Liaoning men's basketball team against Guangzhou, the team appearance list impressively wrote Li Xiaoxu three big words, after 450 days after the second brother returned to the CBA field again, in that game, The second brother cut a quasi-double-double data of 9 points and 8 rebounds, which also marked that the second brother Li Xiaoxu once again defeated the injury and returned to his own field.
After a comeback in the 2021-2022 season, Li Xiaoxu can average 5.6 points and 5.4 rebounds per game, although the second brother has been impossible to return to the peak level again, but his role in the team is extremely important, in his 30s he can still sit firmly in the starting position of the team, although Li Xiaoxu has seriously regressed in speed and bounce, but his delicate mid-range shooting feel and a lot of defensive experience can still provide a lot of help for the team, and the team coach has also left Li Xiaoxu on the field many times in the key of the game, which can also show the trust of the coaching team in the second brother.
In fact, Li Xiaoxu's role in the Liaoning team is really irreplaceable, his balance between the offensive end and the defensive end is not available to other players, especially in the defensive end, Li Xiaoxu was a player who let Han Dejun play as a substitute for him before being injured, Li Xiaoxu's height is 208cm, although this is only the standard height of a big forward player, but his ability to fight for rebounds makes countless centers bow down, Li Xiaoxu has ranked 4th in history in the total number of rebounds grabbed in the CBA League, it is worth mentioning that The number of rebounds in the front court that the second brother grabbed was already ranked first in history a few years ago, and his rebounding ability was said to be the second in the league, so I am afraid that no one dared to say that it was the first, and it was precisely because of his strength in rebounding protection that the team repeatedly turned the danger into a disaster in thrilling moments.
Some players have extremely high talent, but there is no strong acquired effort, some players work hard, but the talent is mediocre, and Li Xiaoxu is a talented and know how to work hard, he never lazy in training, never complains on the field, his attitude of playing has won the love of countless fans, Li Xiaoxu once injured both the brow bone and the forehead at the same time, but he still continued to play on the next day, and on the field he has always been the most active one, This spirit is indispensable on the basketball court, although Li Xiaoxu does not have the physical explosive power of the past, but his attitude on the court tells us that he is still "fighting".
At present, the Liaoning men's basketball team has Wu Changze, Fu Hao and other young players in the big forward position, Fu Hao is a player who attacks strong and defends weakly, and Wu Changze is still very young, he still has a lot to learn in experience, so li Xiaoxu is still the most important member of the Liaoning basketball big forward position in the current period, because his experience can still provide great help to the team, according to the team management, the second brother of the team coaching team will also go to participate, which also shows that the team is training Li Xiaoxu to coach, Therefore, after retiring, Li Xiaoxu will most likely become the team's defensive assistant coach, which will certainly provide great help to the sustainable development of Liaoning Basket.
All in all, Li Xiaoxu' contribution to the Liaoning men's basketball team and even the Cause of Chinese basketball is indelible, and his story is also inspiring a generation of basketball people to move forward, and his "luck" and "misfortune" will also become a unique highlight in the history of Chinese basketball.
I hope that Li Xiaoxu can continue to shine in the process of the development of China's basketball career, such a "warrior" who has been injured again and again, and then reborn in the stadium should be respected by everyone, and his spirit is worth learning from all basketball people.
