Zhang Weiping, a Native of Beijing in 1950, is 1.93 meters tall, which is a height that is difficult to play before playing small, but at that time he was a second center (big forward), good at breakthroughs, back-to-back singles and basket hook shots. His lower limbs were strong enough, everyone had seen Ma Jian's tendon meat, Zhang Weiping had more than that. Zhang Weiping entered the Beijing youth team before the age of 15, and Wang Zhizhi's father, Wang Weijun, was a teammate, trained hard and seriously, and wrote a training diary every day. Each one is written on at least one full page. At that time, the Beijing Youth Team and the Bayi Youth Team were both training in Beijing, and every week they had to play teaching competitions with the Bayi Youth Team, and the Beijing Youth Team did not lose and maintained a total victory.
Around 1970, Zhang Weiping officially entered the Beijing men's basketball team, the early 70s was the heyday of Beijing basketball, in the leading position in The country, the results of various basketball competitions are basically in the top two, except for Bayi is Beijing. Zhang Weiping, whether in the national team or in the Beijing team, is the absolute main force that cannot be moved.
In 1973, in the National Men's Basketball League, Zhang Weiping helped Beijing team win the second place. Also in this year, Zhang Weiping was selected to enter the Chinese national basketball team and officially became a national player. We'll talk about the national team career later.
In April 1979, the American team composed of all-American college star players visited China, and in Mu Tiezhu's video, they had already introduced their matches with the Bayi team, and later also played with the Shanghai team and the Beijing team, and the Beijing team finally lost to the opponent 78-103, Zhang Weiping alone cut 35 points, scoring nearly half of the team's points, and the American players could not prevent him.
In July 1979, beijing team in a friendly match 70-68 ly swedish national team, Zhang Weiping not only scored a game-high 38 points, but also successfully created a foul on the opponent at the last minute, two free throws and two wins.
In May 1980, Beijing lost 91-99 to the University of Nevada basketball team. Zhang Weiping, who was 30 years old at this time, did not have a good relationship with the head coach at the time and had been put on the bench, but he still scored nearly 30 points on the bench.

Zhang Weiping became the main force of the national team, with a monthly salary of only 32 yuan, and when he retired, he was only 60 yuan, and later when he became a coach, he reached about 120 yuan. At that time, people had a belief that it didn't matter if money was not money, mainly to add glory to the country. He has no advantage in height and body, so he trains hard. Later, Zhang Weiping's weight-bearing squat reached a maximum strength of 200 kilograms, and the hard lifting force also reached 250 kilograms. The data was on the same level as the professional athletes of the weightlifting team at the time.
In 1973, Zhang Weiping entered the national team, and in the 74th Asian Games in Tehran, Zhang Weiping was not the main force at that Asian Games, the men's basketball team only won the third place, the women's basketball team, the women's volleyball team, and the men's volleyball team were also third, and the football played a group third. Three big balls, all collective events, all third. Evil door.
Soon, Zhang Weiping became the absolute main force of the national team and was regarded as the first choice on the offensive end. His task on the pitch is clear, to score as much as he can. Zhang Weiping did live up to expectations, cutting twenty or thirty points per game like probing for things.
From some newspapers and periodicals in the 1970s, the following data were recorded in black and white:
On June 27, 1977, in a friendly match against the Mexican Educa, he scored 22 points alone.
On December 12, 1978, at the Asian Games in Bangkok, against the Kuwait national team, he scored a team-high 17 points.
On December 3, 1979, in the group stage of the Nagoya Men's Basketball Asian Championship, he scored a game-high 26 points against India.
On December 10, 1979, in the final of the Asian Championship for the Nagoya men's basketball team, he scored a game-high 29 points against the Philippines.
It should be pointed out that at that time, there were no three-pointers in the basketball game, and Zhang Weiping's scores were accumulated by the two-pointers and free throws under the basket. In addition, the offensive time was 30 seconds at that time, and now it is 24 seconds, the offensive and defensive rhythms are much slower, and the number of offensive rounds in a game is much less than it is now. So on the whole, the score content at that time was much larger than it is now.
With super basketball scoring ability, solid basic skills and excellent physical fitness, Zhang Weiping helped the Chinese men's basketball team regain its asian hegemony, winning the asian championships of the 1975, 1977 and 1979 men's basketball teams in a row, achieving "three consecutive championships" in one fell swoop, and also won the asian games gold medal for the first time in the history of the 8th Asian Games in 1978. He was also named the "Best Striker in Asia" at the tournament. In 1975, it also received a ticket to the Following Year's Olympic Games, but at that time, China did not succeed because it protested the IOC's illegal recognition of Taiwanese sports organizations. In 1979, we also got a ticket to the following Olympic Games, but at that time we boycotted the Moscow Olympics and did not succeed. Specifically, you can Baidu.

At the 1978 World Championships in Manila, Zhang Weiping served as the flag bearer of the Chinese men's basketball delegation, which was Zhang Weiping's first time to participate in a world-class competition and the pinnacle of his playing career.
The first match against Brazil, too strong, no play, 97-154 lost 57 points. Zhang Weiping did not play much time, scoring only 11 points.
In the second game, against Puerto Rico, China trailed by 18 points 44-62 in the first half, and finally lost the game 104-107 with a three-point difference. Zhang Weiping scored 28 points.
In the third battle, against the European powerhouse Italy, it was another big defeat with a huge gap, 95-125. Zhang Weiping scored 14 points.
The group stage was three battles, and the Chinese men's basketball team had no chance to rematch and could only participate in the qualifying round of 9-14.
In the fourth game, against The old Asian rival South Korea, China won 102-90, and Zhang Weiping still contributed 30 points despite five full departures.
In the fifth game, against Czechoslovakia, the Chinese team lost 95-118. Zhang Weiping scored a team-high 35 points.
In the sixth game, against Senegal, the Chinese team lost 79-89. Zhang Weiping scored a game-high 27 points.
In the seventh game, against the Dominican team, China narrowly won 115-112. Zhang Weiping left the field again for five full offenses, but still scored a game-high 32 points.
In the end, after 7 games, the Chinese men's basketball team won 2 and lost 5 for the first time, defeating South Korea and Dominica respectively and finishing 11th.
Here is the point, Zhang Weiping scored a total of 177 points in seven games, averaging 25.3 points per game, ranking second in this world championship, behind the Czechoslovak player's 26.9 points. The free throw shooting percentage reached 85.2%. He was finally selected for the best team at the tournament.
That's awesome! You know, after 28 years, that is, in 2006, Yao Mingcai scored 25.3 points at the Japan Men's Basketball World Championship, ranking first in the tournament.
As of today, in the technical statistics of "men's basketball world championship average score per game", Zhang Weiping is still ranked third in history.
In the 1979 Nagoya Men's Basketball Asian Championship, the Chinese team aimed to win the championship. In the group stage, the Chinese men's basketball team did not encounter substantial resistance. (96-56 India, 105-89 Iraq, 118-54 Bahrain) Among them, Zhang Weiping scored a game-high 26 points against India.
In the final stage, the Chinese team first beat the Philippines 124-89, and Zhang Weiping scored a team-high 29 points. The next big score was a 119-59 victory over Pakistan, with the next opponent being Japan, the host of the tournament. This is the "Nagoya Black Whistle Incident" mentioned in Mu Tiezhu's video. The referee sent all five of China's starters, including Mu Tiezhu, off the field, and the number of fouls committed by the two teams was 32-18 throughout the game, and with the last 3 minutes left in the game, the Chinese team still trailed by 5 points. At this time, the Chinese team sent a "five small" lineup led by Zhang Weiping and Wu Xinshui to tenaciously drag the game into extra time, and finally successfully completed the reversal, locking the score to 70-68. In the final against South Korea, it encountered a stick whistle, and once fell behind by 11 points in the second half, the Chinese team withstood the pressure and reversed South Korea 94-88 to win the championship, and Zhang Weiping scored 38 points alone in this game.

After winning the championship, zhang Weiping returned to the Beijing team because he could not go to the Olympic Games, when he was 30 years old and lost his main position. At the end of 1980, the Beijing Municipal Sports Commission issued instructions to send 12 outstanding athletes, including Zhang Weiping, to the Beijing Institute of Physical Education to pursue college degrees without examination. In that era, the instructions of the leader had to be obeyed unconditionally, and Zhang Weiping did not have room for self-determination. In that era, in fact, from ma Jian's body later, you can also see a little taste. In this way, on February 14, 1981, Zhang Weiping officially ended his playing career and became a student in the junior college class of Beijing Institute of Physical Education.
After graduating from college at the age of 33, Zhang Weiping served as the head coach of the Beijing men's basketball youth team and the head coach of the Beijing women's basketball team. After 1984, under the strong recommendation of Qian Chenghai's guidance, Zhang Weiping came to the national team as an assistant coach, and in 1988, Zhang Weiping went to the United States to break in. During our 94 golden generation, the national team often went to the United States to play teaching competitions, and Zhang Weiping helped to contact. After that, everyone is very clear, and like everyone else, I also began to like this reasonable emperor from the NBA game commentary.
Today's Zhang Weiping still plays a residual heat in his favorite basketball field, age seems to be no problem for him at all, his understanding and dedication to basketball is worth learning and respecting. Finally, the question is, do you think Zhang Weiping's guidance of playing is reasonable?
