In the development of Chinese basketball for decades, the field of big forwards is also full of talents: there are "94 golden generation" period: Wu Naiqun, Ma Jian, Liu Yudong, Gong Xiaobin; There are also Du Feng, Li Xiaoxu, Hu Jinqiu and others in recent years. Today we mainly talk about the two most famous ones: the "God of War" Liu Yudong" and the "Runaway King" Gong Xiaobin in the same period, who is more powerful?
Gong Xiaobin, born in 1969, 2 meters tall, weighing 104 kg, one of the representative figures of Shandong basketball, one of the players of the "94 Golden Generation", has won the league MVP and scoring king, the first three seasons of the league, the average of 27 + 9 per game, also won the "Best Technology Award", led the Shandong men's basketball team to win the league runner-up. With the Chinese men's basketball team in the 94 and 96 world series, both scored in the top eight.
Gong Xiaobin, because of his handsome appearance and elegant playing action, is highly sought after by basketball fans and is known as the "Runaway King" by fans. He is extremely talented, whether it is tactical or personal skills, he learns quickly, and his feet are flexible under the basket, and Wang Zhizhi has learned from him. The talented Gong Xiaobin may be worse in hard training, otherwise his achievements will be higher.

Liu Yudong, born in 1970, 1.98 meters tall, weighs 108 kilograms, one of the meritorious figures of the Bayi men's basketball team, one of the players of the "94 Golden Generation". He helped the Bayi team win four National Games championships and seven CBA championships; He has won three CBA League Most Valuable Players, one League Scoring Champion, two CBA All-Star Game Most Valuable Players, four times selected to the Season's Best Team, nine times selected for the CBA All-Star Game, and was named the CBA Player of the Decade. With the Chinese men's basketball team in the 94 and 96 world series, both scored in the top eight!
Liu Yudong played a total of 12 seasons in the CBA League, played 378 games, scored a total of 8387 points, 2101 rebounds and 400 assists, which is the establishment of the Bayi Dynasty and an immortal feat. In the 2002 Finals, after playing in the NBA, the Shanghai men's basketball team sprung up under the leadership of Yao Ming! Under Yao Ming's defense, Liu Yudong still got an average of 41.5 points and 6.2 rebounds per game, scoring 53 points in a single game, although he finally lost to the Shanghai men's basketball team, Liu Yudong suppressed Yao Ming with his super god performance and won the MVP of the finals.

In the 2003 off-season, Liu Yudong, who had knee surgery, the doctor took out 10 broken bones from his knee, shocking the domestic basketball world! Since then, the title of "God of War" has become more popular throughout the country. His strong upper limb strength and unsolvable straight-arm mid-range jump shot make defenders helpless!
Therefore, in terms of talent, Gong Xiaobin is stronger than Liu Yudong, but Liu Yudong has suppressed Gong Xiaobin through hard work and tenacious willpower in both the domestic league and the international arena. Some people also say that Liu Yudong can't fight abroad, but in the international scoring list, Liu Yudong scored a total score of 208 points, averaging 8.3 points per game, and pressed Gong Xiaobin's total score of 171 points, an average of 5.5 points per game, and the data will not lie.

Yao Ming once said: Two of the players of that generation are fully capable of playing in the NBA, one is Hu Weidong and the other is Liu Yudong. Former Bayi head coach A's Jiang also said that the Bayi men's basketball team can be less Wang Zhizhi, but it must not be less Liu Yudong. These are the best compliments for the achievements of the "God of War" career!

Therefore, although Wu Naiqun, Ma Jian, Gong Xiaobin and so on in that era were equally excellent. But the most powerful striker in domestic history, without a doubt, is the "God of War" Liu Yudong!
