Looking back at the basketball world, Chinese men's basketball player Liu Wei is as bright as a star in this field.
He has spent 20 years of his career writing a colorful and tortuous journey. As the main point guard of the national team, he has always stuck to his post and is resolute, but he is often given the title of "backstabber", which makes his bitterness and hard work often overlooked.
Since being selected for the Chinese national team in 2002, Liu Wei has played an important role in his 11-year journey. He has competed in major events such as the Olympics, World Championships and Asian Games, winning two Olympic top eight finishes, three Asian Championships and three Asian Games champions. In addition, he is only the third player in CBA history to score more than 10,000 points and is the only homegrown point guard.
Regrettably, many blamed him for staying on the national team only because of his friendship with Yao Ming. Some people even compared the relationship between the two to a "plastic brotherhood", although he put all his efforts on the field, but the pressure of public opinion has always plagued him. Luckily, he has his partner, Wang Weiting, a psychiatrist, who has given him endless support in times of difficulty and brought new life to the family.
Liu Wei and Yao Ming's collaboration began at a young age. The two young athletes met in the Shanghai youth team, lived and fought together, and became enemies on the court. But as Yao Ming moved to the United States, their mutual support turned to the national team's competition.
From the moment Yao Ming set foot in the NBA, Liu Wei established a close bond with him, and the two liked to find happiness in computer games, and once fell into the wonderful fantasy of "World of Warcraft", and also formed a deep friendship with Ye Li and Wang Weiting, forming a strong online game team.
Since the day he was first selected for the national team in 2002, Liu Wei's fate has been closely linked to the three words "back pot king". Although he was a newcomer when he first stepped onto the world stage, the joys and sorrows he experienced in the global tournament were particularly profound. However, the regrettable mistake at the Busan Olympics made the Chinese men's basketball team miss the great opportunity to win the championship, for which he felt deeply guilty and suffered many accusations and ridicule.
At the 2004 Athens Olympics, although the men's basketball team finished in the top eight, there were many defeats, which made Liu Wei reprimanded as "difficult to play" and under great pressure.
Coming to the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Liu Wei scored 19 points in the duel with Spain, but missed the super overtake opportunity due to a mistake at a critical moment, so he once again became the target of public criticism. The next year, at the 2010 World Championships in Turkey, Liu Wei's wrong behavior sparked heated discussions among fans, and some netizens even ridiculed him as "a burden in the basketball world".
Even so, on and off the court, Liu Wei, who has faced a lot of criticism, still sticks to the front line of basketball. The effort he put into it is often over-scrutinized, and there are only a handful of people who can truly understand its value. He has made unforeseen mistakes due to fatigue, but he is one of the few all-round defenders who remains rock-solid even in the face of a change of managerial storm.
During this period, Wang Weiting became Liu Wei's most solid support. They have known each other since junior high school and eventually became the shelter they need most. Wang Weiting's endless kindness and love to Liu Wei inspired him to get out of the trough. The relationship between them has experienced challenges from time and space, but it has always been unwavering.
Eventually, as the London 2012 Olympics came to an end, he was freed from the weight of negative public opinion, and at the same time deeply realized the immeasurable importance of his wife's silent waiting and encouragement to him.
After Yao Ming took the helm of the Shanghai team, his leadership position made him like a king in the world.
He began to implement a new management strategy, which adjusted the team's tactics, but also subtly changed the intimate relationship with Liu Wei. What was supposed to be a smooth contract renewal negotiation turned into an emotional entanglement between the two parties, and Yao Ming had to reassess Liu Wei's value, and the contract offer below market standards left Liu Wei deeply confused and disappointed.
Forced to leave his hometown of Shanghai, Liu Wei left his hometown, although he did not choose to leave voluntarily, but he regretted the loss of his personal career and team honor. He still couldn't let go of that deep regret in his heart. After bidding farewell to Shanghai, he played for Xinjiang and Sichuan, but the nostalgia for his hometown has always been with him.
Although Yao Ming later sold the Shanghai team, the two did not shake hands because of this. The once deep friendship has gone with the wind, and when we reunite, only embarrassment and estrangement remain. Even after the Shanghai team changed hands, Liu Wei had the possibility of returning again, but his relationship with Yao Ming still seemed strange and fragile.
After leaving the field, Liu Wei chose to embark on the road of coaching and started his coaching career.
Although the team's results were not satisfactory, he learned valuable regrets from them, accumulated a wealth of teaching experience, and proved his professionalism and professionalism in the field of basketball. Perhaps, this is another important start in his life journey, writing his own sports legend in the coaching box.
During this period of time, fans have been hotly discussing this matter, some praise Liu Wei's perseverance and bravery, and some sigh for the change between Yao Ming and him. But it's more about people's feelings about life and looking forward to how new stories will be presented.
The emotional stories on the basketball court are sometimes magnificent, sometimes twists and turns, reflecting the flavors of life. Although the basketball stories of Liu Wei and Yao Ming are no longer full of passion, their glorious moments in basketball history will live forever in the world and become the deepest memory in the hearts of the audience.
