"Everyone laughs at him, but everyone envies him" - he averaged only 4.5 points per game but got a top salary contract, the total salary of his CBA career exceeded 30 million yuan, and he also won 8 championships, while gaining fame and fortune, he also had a happy family, and gave birth to three children with gentle and beautiful flight attendants.
This player is Su Wei, a man who has been ridiculed by many people, but has always been favored by Lady Luck. How did this person born in Rizhao, Shandong Province become a Guangdong Fujiang step by step and step by step to the pinnacle of life?
When he was a child, Su Wei was favored by the kayaking coach because of his tall stature and amazing strength, and in 2002, he was taken to the Guangdong rowing training base, where he trained and lived in the remote and desolate bamboo town a few hours away from Guangzhou.
In 2003, 14-year-old Su Wei decided to switch to basketball, so he mustered up the courage to come to the Guangdong Youth Team and recommended himself. He didn't start playing basketball until he was 14 years old, which is a very low starting point in any country, so the coach of the youth team muttered that Su Wei was tall and could grow to at least 2.10 meters in bone age tests, and he had a lot of strength and could still have the upper hand against players who had been trained professionally for a long time.
The coach of the youth team was worried that Su Wei's starting point was too low to become a talent, and on the other hand, he was worried that he had missed a good seedling, and after thinking twice, he still recruited this young man who dared to recommend himself, and it turned out that this choice was right, Su Wei only took three years to rise to the first team of Guangdong Hongyuan and become a member of the CBA.
In the first two seasons of his CBA career, Su Wei only got a total of 28 playing opportunities, averaging less than 7 minutes per game, and contributing 3.3 points and 2.1 rebounds per game. Since the third season, he has gradually been reused, especially in the finals against the Xinjiang team, he used excellent defense to limit Battle well, and won the reputation of "bus parking lot".
In the following seasons, Su Wei's playing time gradually increased, and in the 2010-2011 season, he averaged 21.8 minutes per game, becoming one of the important rotation players of the Guangdong team, helping the Guangdong team win multiple championships, but the team and fans did not realize at the time that Su Wei brought the team not only on-court performance, but also some off-court luck.
In the summer of 2013, Su Wei was poached by the Xinjiang team with a high salary, and the Guangdong team did not want to match a 3-year 9 million yuan contract, and Yi Jianlian had returned from the NBA, and there was no problem with the team's inner line missing Su Wei, but after Su Wei left, the Guangdong team, which had 5 championships and 1 runner-up in the previous 6 years, never won the championship.
Su Wei also had a bad time after leaving the Guangdong team, and in the three seasons of the Xinjiang team, his playing time decreased year by year, and with injuries and troubles, he gradually lost his place in the team. So after the contract ended, he signed a 3-year 4 million yuan franchise contract with the Qingdao team. During this period of the Xinjiang team and the Qingdao team, Su Wei's annual salary exceeded that of many stars, which is enough to show that he is very valuable in the eyes of professionals.
In the first two seasons of the Qingdao team, Su Wei averaged about 27 minutes per game, averaging 8 points and 6.9 rebounds per game in the first season, and 8.9 points and 5.9 rebounds per game in the second season, with a shooting rate of more than 54%, and his outstanding performance attracted the attention of his old club Guangdong team.
In the summer of 2018, the Guangdong team used 5 players as chips to trade with the Qingdao team and brought Su Wei back to the Guangdong team. Something magical happened, in the 5 seasons that Su Wei left, the Guangdong team did not win the championship, and in the first season when Su Wei came back, the Guangdong team not only won the championship, but also completed three consecutive championships.
In order to repay the veteran, the Guangdong team provided Su Wei, who averaged only 4.5 points and 3.4 rebounds per game in the previous season, with a one-year contract with a maximum salary, and after the contract ended, Su Wei received a two-year regular contract, and retired from the Guangdong team in 2022.
In his 16-year CBA career, Su Wei played a total of 457 regular season games, averaging 5.7 points, 3.9 rebounds, 0.3 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.4 blocks per game, shooting 55.7%, and played 93 playoff games, averaging 4.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, 0.3 assists, 0.3 steals and 0.2 blocks per game, and shooting 49.3% from the field.
Just looking at the data, it is mediocre, but he has won the most 8 championships, has been selected to the All-Star team once, and has received a salary of more than 30 million yuan, which is the envy of many players.
Of course, his CBA career also has bitter memories, he once performed poorly against the Beijing team, and the game was to contribute to the opponent, the fans of the Beijing team shouted "for Su Wei", and later not only the fans of the Beijing team shouted like this, the fans of Su Wei's team shouted like this, and even broke through the basketball circle, and there were also fans in volleyball games and football games to play this stalk, and Su Wei suffered from depression because of this.
When he was most depressed, a beautiful flight attendant with a height of 1.80 meters broke into his world, spent the most torturous time with him, and accompanied him out of the shadow of "changing Su Wei", in 2012, the two got married in a low-key manner, and had a son and a daughter after marriage, when the two children were older, they decided to have three children, and welcomed the third child in 2021.
Today's Su Wei has both children and a happy family, and he also founded a basketball training institution after retiring, and introduced a number of former CBA players and professionals such as Gao Shang and Song Kangming as mentors, so that the training institution he founded quickly gained a foothold in his hometown of Shandong, and a few years later, he expanded his business to Guangdong, Jilin and other provinces, becoming an enviable winner in life.
