Once upon a time, the country's basketball team was also a world powerhouse, and it was a strong team with a name in the world, just like Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Wang Zhizhi, Zhu Fangyu and other basketball stars.
The Chinese national men's basketball team has won 16 championships in the Asian Basketball Championships, which is definitely the first in Asia.
However, the emergence of a person has made the champion an illusory existence, from Wang Zhizhi to Yao Ming are basketball stars standing on the international stage, all retired because of him, some people have said that because of him, Chinese basketball has been set back for 20 years, what did he do to make the strength of the national team rewind for 20 years......
The pinnacle of men's basketball
The Chinese men's basketball team has always been one of the sports that people pay attention to, basketball is not like football, it plays extremely stable, and basketball has had peak moments once upon a time.
After the country was stabilized, the Chinese men's basketball team achieved the first five-time championship in the history of the Asian Championships under the leadership of Qian Chenghai, which can be described as one of the peak moments of the Chinese men's basketball team at that time.
It is impossible for anyone to win all the time, and the same is true of the Chinese men's basketball team, after winning the five championships, the strength of the national team has declined for a short time, but after a year or two of training, it is still back to the top.
Before Qian Chenghai retired, the men's basketball team won the championship again and ushered in the first championship of the next five consecutive championships, and then under the leadership of Gong Luming, Wang Zhizhi, Li Nan and other new forces won the second five consecutive championships for the country.
At that time, the men's basketball team was a hero in the hearts of many people, and how many people were looking forward to the men's basketball team winning the championship again.
After Yao Ming, Zhu Fangyu, Yi Jianlian and other basketball celebrities appeared in the national men's basketball team, the men's basketball team at that time can be described as a world powerhouse, although they did not achieve an excellent ranking in the Olympic Games, but they brought hope to people.
However, the Chinese men's basketball team ushered in a low moment, and it lasted for six years, in these six years, the men's basketball team has had a number of shocking events, from the scourge of Wang Zhizhi to Yao Ming's retirement, and then it was evaluated that in these six years, the strength of the Chinese men's basketball team can be said to have regressed for 20 years.
In 2015, the men's basketball team was reorganized, and now the men's basketball team is gradually returning to the top, but the former glory no longer exists.
scourge Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming retired
Speaking of Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming, the two of them are superstars of the Chinese men's basketball team, they retired very early, Yao Ming announced his retirement at the age of 31, which may be inseparable from a person, and this person is Xin Lancheng.
"Thank God Xie Yalong, believe in God and believe in ghosts and believe in Lancheng. ”
At that time, Wang Zhizhi's status in domestic basketball was extremely high, and he was the first player in China to enter the NBA, and under his leadership, the national team won the second Asian Championship for five consecutive championships, and was an idol in the hearts of countless people at that time.
But what happened to such a famous player, who was stabbed when he entered the NBA to meet the pinnacle of his career, and once became the target of people's abuse?
Wang Zhizhi entered the Bayi Youth Basketball Team at the end of 1991, and then represented the country in the competition, and in six years, the Bayi team monopolized all the league championships, in which Wang Zhizhi's contribution is extremely huge.
It is precisely because of such a dazzling record that Wang Zhizhi became the first men's basketball player in China to enter the NBA, and with his strength at that time, he will definitely break through in the NBA.
Every national athlete has a patriotic heart.
But people never thought that Wang Zhizhi, who had just arrived in the NBA, would inevitably usher in the peak moment of his career here, but he was invited by Xin Lancheng to return to China before he could show his might.
On the one hand, his more brilliant career, and on the other hand, the country he loves, Wang Zhizhi finally chose to return to the national team and fight for glory for the country.
For Wang Zhizhi, his career is obviously not as important as winning glory for the country, after returning to the national team, Wang Zhizhi joined the training as soon as possible, but after half a year of intensive training, he spent a lot of time, and others also had a certain distance.
When Wang Zhizhi returned to the team, the state that once dominated the court had long been lost, and the men's basketball team was like missing a big general, and it failed repeatedly.
In the face of Wang Zhizhi's performance on the court, no one thought about what he had experienced, but public opinion was still overwhelmingly pressed on him.
For his own better future, Wang Zhizhi was not wrong to choose to develop in the NBA, and he still returned to the national team when the national team needed him.
However, some people secretly accused him of being selfish and not responding to the call of the country for his own development, which made Wang Zhizhi fall into public opinion.
In the face of overwhelming public opinion, Wang Zhizhi has no way to refute it, one person's power is still too small after all, although he has led the national team to win countless honors before, but it is still buried in public opinion.
It can be imagined how painful it was for Wang Zhizhi to participate in training and competitions alone, and to face public opinion and verbal attacks from netizens alone.
If Xinlancheng could stand up and explain to Wang Zhizhi at that time, all this would pass soon.
It's a pity that Xin Lancheng didn't stand up to explain to Wang Zhizhi, Wang Zhizhi's reputation was also damaged in this storm, and in the end he was expelled from the national team, how many people felt sorry for him.
In the psychology of countless fans, Wang Zhizhi's future was ruined, and Xin Lancheng must have an unshirkable responsibility, but not only Wang Zhizhi, Yao Ming may also retire because of him.
Yao Ming is an idol in the hearts of many people in China, he is like a new star to illuminate the Chinese men's basketball team, is a superstar in the basketball world, but unfortunately Yao Ming's career stopped here at the age of 31.
Yao Ming entered the NBA after Wang Zhizhi through his own efforts, and he occupied a place in it.
Yao Ming, who killed all sides in the NBA, was pulled by Xin Lancheng to the national team for training before returning to China before he got enough rest, and at the same time, he also had to deal with various business activities.
For a long time, even if Yao Ming's physical fitness was outstanding, he couldn't bear it, and finally announced his retirement at the age of 31.
In the face of the profession he loves and a bright future, Yao Ming's gradually deteriorating health still can't support him to continue, and how many people regret Yao Ming's retirement.
As the saying goes, the official university crushes people to death, and in the face of Xin Lancheng's oppression, even if Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi and other basketball celebrities want to resist, but the suppression of their positions makes them feel more than capable of strength.
Wrong vs. True
Xin Lancheng led the national team for the first time in 2002, but did not achieve a dazzling result, although the men's basketball team at that time could not beat all the teams, but it was still possible to win the championship in the Asian Games.
However, under the leadership of Shin Lancheng, the national team failed to defeat the South Korean team in the final and only won the runner-up.
Probably because he did not achieve a good result, Xin Lancheng stepped down in the second year, and Yao Ming was able to kill all sides in the NBA because of his resignation.
But what people didn't expect was that Xin Lancheng went around and became the leader of the men's basketball team directly in 2014.
It is said that the new official took office with three fires, and the same is true of Xin Lancheng, as soon as he took office, he reformed the domestic competition, which originally had about 60 games a year in China, and he used his authority to shorten the event by one-third.
As a direct result, the men's basketball players did not have the blessing of many competitions, and the tense state became relaxed.
In one game, the strength of the players dropped significantly, and even for a certain time, the national team could not even defeat the provincial team.
As we all know, the strength of a team is inseparable from the coach, and Xin Lancheng constantly changes coaches, resulting in the coach not being able to fully understand each player, so as to provide a good tactic for the team.
At that time, every coach didn't stay in the men's basketball team for a long time, and the players spent a lot of time adjusting to the new coach.
In the eyes of many fans, Xinlan Chengcheng is a layman, who obviously doesn't understand but is blindly directing.
But Xin Lancheng also has the right direction, and during his tenure, he focused on training new forces.
Xin Lancheng gave the youth team the best resources and the best training at that time, and under his leadership, the youth team was able to go abroad to participate in the competition, which can be said to have cultivated a large number of new forces.
However, when Xin Lancheng was cultivating new forces, he gave up the backbone at that time, which caused the Chinese men's basketball team to have a very long trough period.
Today's men's basketball team is back on track, the players are killing all sides in the game, and today's backbone is out of the youth team cultivated by Lan Cheng at that time.
Although it is still far from the original peak, I believe that it is only a matter of time before I return to the top.
Chinese basketball still has a long way to go, although it has gone downhill under the leadership of Xin Lancheng, but today's men's basketball team has the strength to return to its peak, and it still needs people's support to break through their limits in the arena and achieve better results!
