As of this season, the players who have won the most CBA league championships are 8 championships, they are Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng, Zhou Peng, and Su Wei. Yes, you read that right, there is Su Wei! As strong as Yi Jianlian and Du Feng, there are only 7 overall championships. The meritorious players of the Bayi team, Liu Yudong and Wang Zhizhi, have 7 and 6 championships respectively, and there is not much Su Wei to take! What is the reason for Su Wei's high achievements?
Guangdong Hongyuan 11th crown
Su Wei, 33 years old, 2.12 meters tall and weighing 120 kilograms, was selected to practice rowing in the sports school when he was a child due to his physical condition than his peers, and entered the Guangdong rowing team in 2002. Because of his love for basketball, su Wei, 14 years old in 2003, changed to playing basketball, entered the Hongyuan youth team due to his outstanding physical condition, and entered the Guangdong Hongyuan first team in 2006 and began to compete in the CBA League.
Su Wei
From 2008 to 2011, Su Wei won four consecutive championships with Guangdong Hongyuan. Among them, the 2010-2011 season was the highlight of Su Wei's career, averaging 23 minutes per game, scoring 9.4 points and 5.9 rebounds. In the first few years of his career, Su Wei played against Jiangsu Nangang MVP center Tang Zhengdong in the playoffs, and was the best defensive player in Guangdong Hongyuan's interior line. In 2008, the Xinjiang-Guangdong competition began, especially the playoffs, in the confrontation with Xinjiang's inner star Bartel, Su Wei's height and weight did not fall behind, which very well limited Battle's play, and was jokingly called "bus parking lot" by Guangdong fans.
Fight against Battle
Later, with the aging of Battle, the competitiveness of the Xinjiang men's basketball team gradually declined. Beijing men's basketball team gradually rose, in 2012-15, Beijing Shougang under the leadership of Marbury, four years of three crowns, Guangdong Hongyuan only won one crown. In the 2011-12 season, the fourth game of the CBA Finals, Beijing Shougang home, because Su Wei was hard in the game Shougang Marbury, Shougang home fans replaced the previous Beijing scolding with the boo of "changing Su Wei", and the huge psychological pressure made Su Wei perform poorly. In the full game, he played 4 minutes and 33 seconds, shooting 0 of 2 and scoring 0 points and 2 fouls. After that season, Su Wei carried a great psychological burden and once went to see a psychologist to adjust his personal state.
Hard rigid Marbury
Due to the return of Yi Jianlian, Guangdong's internal personnel became abundant, and in the offseason of 2013, Su Wei transferred to the Xinjiang men's basketball team, and after playing for three years, he transferred to the Qingdao men's basketball team. With the growth of Liaoning team Han Dejun, Guo Allen, Zhao Jiwei, Liaoning men's basketball team gradually rose, in the 2017-18 season, Liaoning men's basketball team won their first overall championship in the CBA league, and Han Dejun, a Liaoning insider player known as "Kung Fu Panda" by fans, performed very well. Guangdong Hongyuan, who aspires to win the championship, in August 2013, used Zhou Zhandong, Yang Jinmeng, Shao Yinglun, Liu Chuanxing and Gao Shang to exchange Su Wei and Diao Chenghao from Qingdao team, which was called a future deal by Guangdong fans and re-injected vitality into Guangdong Hongyuan in the trough period. That season, Guangdong Hongyuan won the championship again after 5 years!
Du guidance face-to-face teaching is appropriate
In the next two years, Guangdong Hongyuan defeated Liaoning twice in the finals, winning three consecutive championships, and Su Wei's total number of championships reached 8, which is guangdong Hongyuan's uncompromising blessing. In September 2020, the Guangdong team offered Su Wei a Category D maximum salary contract, which is Su Wei's supreme glory! You must know that according to the CBA's salary cap requirements, each team only has two D class maximum salaries, and when he can get the maximum salary, only Yi Jianlian is like him, and Zhou Peng, another meritorious captain of Hongyuan, can only get a class C contract.
Fight against Han Dejun
