Preamble:
She has charming eyes under the figure-eight eyebrows, and her posture is as light as a butterfly on the basketball court, she is a well-deserved goddess of basketball.
However, just when her career was in full swing, she had no choice but to withdraw from the national team due to a rumor of being pregnant out of wedlock.
Zhao Shuang, a dazzling basketball player, what has she experienced?
What kind of life will she face?
The basketball bloodline is inherited, and the road of girls' basketball sets sail
Heilongjiang, a vast territory, has cultivated countless sports talents.
And Zhao Shuang is the most dazzling star here.
In the 80s of the 20th century, a Northeast girl became a member of the women's basketball team because of her love for basketball.
Zhao Shuang's mother is the eldest sister in the team.
As a regular striker, she is agile and aggressive, often sealing the win for her team when it matters most.
After retiring from the sport, she stayed in basketball and took up coaching.
Under the influence of his mother, Xiao Zhao Shuang also fell in love with basketball and often followed his mother to the court.
"Mom, you teach me!"
Zhao Shuang looked at the fierce game on the court with bright eyes, and couldn't wait to go up and grab a few rebounds.
Cool, basketball is hard.
It's better to study and go to university and live a more relaxed life.
Although the mother loves basketball, she wants her daughter to live a peaceful life.
"Mom, I want to play too!
Xiao Zhao Shuang crossed his hands on his hips, looking stubborn.
Faced with her daughter's insistence, the mother could only smile helplessly.
However, she still let Zhao Shuang participate in an amateur basketball class after she was a schooler.
"Dribble with your left hand and shoot with your right hand, remember, keep your eyes on the basket!"
On the court, the mother taught meticulously, hoping that her daughter would lay a good foundation from an early age.
And Zhao Shuang is also smart and studious, and quickly mastered many skills.
"Mom, I will definitely be able to play as well as Miao Lijie in the future!"
Speaking of Miao Lijie, Zhao Shuang will see the poster in front of him - the head coach of the Northeast women's basketball team, with a vigorous posture and thousands of postures.
She is Zhao Shuang's idol who regards her as a god.
"Okay, then you're going to have to come on!"
Mother couldn't help but smile and rubbed Zhao Shuang's little head.
Time passed minute by minute, and the girl Zhao Shuang gradually grew up, and she was no longer the little girl who needed her mother to hold her hand.
Under the careful guidance of his mother, 13-year-old Zhao Shuang officially joined the amateur basketball team.
In the beginning, her performance was not outstanding, and she was often disliked by her teammates.
"Cut, you newcomer is tired of everyone!"
After a training session, several veteran team members directly threw the mineral water bottle to Zhao Shuang and motioned for her to pick it up.
Zhao Shuang didn't get angry, just silently picked up the mineral water bottle, and then smiled at those people: "Next time, I will play better!"
It is this football characteristic that makes Zhao Shuang more and more popular in the team.
She doesn't have the physical qualities to be outstanding, but her tenacious spirit of not admitting defeat has deeply infected the rest of the team.
Coupled with Zhao Shuang's hard work to learn from the experience of his predecessors, his strength has made great progress.
Finally, at the age of 19, Zhao Shuang was selected for the Chinese women's basketball youth team as he wished!
"Mom, I've improved, I'm going to be the best female player in the future!"
Zhao Shuang happily called his mother to report the good news.
Idols show up to give guidance and make a name for themselves
The youth team is another starting point for Zhao Shuang.
The future stars of the Chinese women's basketball team are gathered here, and she can finally fight against the idol team.
"Hey, captain, is that Miao Lijie's senior?"
On the first day of training, Zhao Shuang excitedly dragged his teammates' elbows and pointed forward.
I saw a tall woman laughing with the coach.
"Yes, it's her!" replied her teammate.
"A turtle walked across the river......"
But Zhao Shuang couldn't care about listening to her teammates' jokes anymore, she walked towards the idol reluctantly, and there were words in her mouth: "To stay calm, you must have a goddess Fan ......"
"Hello Senior Miao, I'm Zhao Shuang, the new center forward!
Zhao Shuang tried to make his voice softer, but the speed of his speech still increased unconsciously.
"Yo, Xiao Zhao, you are the new star in the team!
Miao Lijie's hearty laughter rang out, and she shook hands with Zhao Shuang warmly.
"I'll pass you some moves when I have time, remember that teamwork is the most important thing!"
"Thank you, senior!" Zhao Shuang's eyes turned red with excitement.
That's what it feels like to talk to an idol! She even felt a little fluttery.
Under the careful guidance of Miao Lijie, Zhao Shuang's strength has increased greatly.
That kind of decisive breakthrough and sharp attack soon became a major feature of the youth team.
"Dribble left and right, break through, grab, shoot!"
In a confrontation game, Zhao Shuang beat two people in a row, and a beautiful layup helped the team lock up the victory.
Frequently stretched out a thumbs up to her, this scene was recorded by video, and the hit rate exceeded 10 million after being put on the Internet.
"Zhao Shuang's performance is not like a 19-year-old player, she is the new hope of the women's basketball team!"
Many fans in the audience high-fived and cheered.
"Zhao Shuang, come on, you must belong to a broader stage!"
Even Miao Lijie was sincerely proud of his apprentice.
Sure enough, in the 10s of the 20th century, Zhao Shuang ushered in the first peak of her career.
Under the leadership of Miao Lijie, her team successfully won the WCBA championship.
With this year's outstanding performance, Zhao Shuang was selected for the national team without any suspense, and the national brand jersey was added, fighting side by side with idols, which was a dream come true for her.
"Mom, look at me, don't you look like Miao seniors now?"
Zhao Shuang, who received the notice of the national team, shared the joy with his mother for the first time.
"Awesome! Mom couldn't be prouder of you!"
On the other end of the phone, the mother applauded her daughter heartily.
She knows that there are always thorns on the road to her dreams, but victory will eventually belong to those who have faith.
The rookie is frustrated, and his heart is full of demons
As soon as he entered the national team, Zhao Shuang shined, contributing 17 points in the first game and 22 points in the second game, becoming the most dazzling star.
However, victory doesn't always belong to newcomers, and soon, she has her first big defeat.
It was a World Cup qualifier against old rivals South Korea.
In this game, the two sides are evenly matched, and the back and forth is very intense.
At the end of the first half, the Chinese team led by 2 points by a narrow margin.
"Everyone stays calm and has a good rhythm. Remember teammates to cooperate!"
Before the start of the second half, the coach specially advised.
However, the high mood made some newcomers a little uncontrollable, including Zhao Shuang.
In a key offense, Zhao Shuang chose to break through to the layup and did not pass the ball to the old player in the open position.
As a result, it was stealed by the opponent's defender and turned defense into offense, and the Chinese team lost a painful three points.
This mistake completely crushed the rhythm of the Chinese team, and the cooperation of the new and old players also became chaotic.
The South Korean team seized the opportunity to launch a frantic counterattack.
Although Zhao Shuang threw a three-pointer at the last minute, he still lost the game by a tragic 1 point difference and missed the promotion.
After the game, everyone cleaned up silently, and the locker room was silent for a while.
Tomorrow you will have a good rest.
In this game, we didn't lose ugly.
The coach sighed and tried to explain.
Zhao Shuang hid himself in the corner, and tears couldn't help but burst out of his eyes.
The pain of her skin was hard for her to calm down, and she realized that her vulnerability was to blame for the team's defeat.
After that failure, Zhao Shuang couldn't sleep all night, and he was also in a trance during training.
Her form has plummeted, and she has to become a substitute.
Finally, Zhao Shuang had no choice but to announce his retirement from the national team.
"Zhao Shuang, take care of your injuries!You will come back again!"
However, back in the dormitory, Zhao Shuang burst into tears.
She called her mother and confessed her resignation from the national team.
"Mom, I'm sorry, I'm home now...... I won't play anymore. ”
"Silly girl, I'm sorry! Mom knows, you will definitely make a comeback!"
His mother's encouragement helped Zhao Shuang regain his confidence.
She silently adjusted her condition at home and insisted on training every day.
Just as she was about to start again, she encountered another bad news.
Rumors are riddled with pride
"Have you heard, Zhao Shuang was revealed to be unmarried and pregnant, so he quit the national team!"
"Oh my God, I like her!"
"Hmph, celebrities are really like that, and the surface work is enough!"
The sudden rumors on the Internet caught Zhao Shuang off guard.
Her reputation and future were seriously hurt, and she even began to shake herself.
"Mom, they all say I'm ...... Pregnant or something. What should I do?"
Zhao Shuang choked up and called his mother.
My good daughter, whatever happens, remember that you have done nothing wrong.
We don't need to explain anything, we just have the answer in mind.
Mother said with a sigh of relief.
Indeed, in the face of slander, the more you interpret it, the more complicated it becomes.
Listening to her mother's words, Zhao Shuang regained her courage, and she decisively posted on the Internet to support it.
I can tolerate rumors against me, but please don't hurt the innocent people around me.
Speaking with strength, that's my principle.
The rhetoric was printed as a poster and went viral.
Fans cheered for Zhao Shuang, and even Miao Lijie, who had retired for many years, also posted on Weibo to support him.
Feeling this positive energy, Zhao Shuang regained his strength.
In order to prove herself, she returned to the national team and won the third place in the 2017 Asian Cup with an injury.
The moment the last ball entered the basket, Zhao Shuang burst into tears.
"Mom, we won! I'm back!"
She excitedly called her mother after the game.
"That's good! This is my daughter!"
Although this is the last time Zhao Shuang wins glory for the country.
But she proved with her strength that all rumors were false.
At the low point of her life, she did not give up, but chose to move forward bravely.
Now that she has left the arena and is living a new life.
After leaving the basketball court, Zhao Shuang ushered in her Prince Charming.
Her husband not only has a superior body shape of 1.9 meters, but also comes from a famous family.
"It's like a combination of a fairy and a rich and handsome. Everyone sighed.
A year later, they announced that they were happy to have a precious son.
Today, Zhao Shuang is already a mother.
She not only enjoys the warmth of her family, but also works as a physical education teacher at a university in Beijing, spreading her love for basketball.
Epilogue:

Today, she is shining in her own way, brightening the lives of more people.
