Preface
Marbury's feelings for China are not ordinary, and in the interview, he used a family to describe China, and he was the first foreign aid in the history of the CBA to get a "Chinese green card".
Since he stopped teaching in 2023, Marbury's life is also colorful, applying for a Hong Kong hukou, playing wild ball with Sun Yue, and creating his own trendy brand......
The family background is not good, and he embarked on the road of basketball
Marbury's family conditions are not good, his father is an ordinary worker, the whole family is counting on this salary to live, and he has a total of seven children at home, not to mention any living standards, and being able to live is the most practical problem at the moment.
When he was three years old, Marbury began playing basketball, and his basketball was played casually at the backyard basket, but even though his family was poor, his parents still let Marbury play basketball.
Marbury also lived up to the family's expectations, and it was remarkable that he was able to play against adults while he was in elementary school.
In 1996, Marbury went to the NBA draft, originally drafted by the Bucks, and then went to the Timberwolves because of a trade.
But this did not make his career go in a good direction, but instead fell out with the whole team. When he was transferred to the Nets, it was difficult for him to integrate into the team due to his personal playing habits.
After that, he played for the Suns, Knicks, and Celtics. He spent 13 years in the NBA, and in 2009, he joined the CBA.
Identity change from playing to coaching
After staying in Shanxi for a season, he joined the Foshan team, and a year later, he was transferred to the Beijing Shougang men's basketball team.
Playing in Beijing is described as "going home", and Beijing Shougang is also very happy to have his existence, after all, the results of "three crowns in four years" are real.
Facts have proved that the impact of the environment on people is very great, in the NBA, Marbury is described as "arrogant" and "New York outcast", but in the CBA, he is very willing and does his best to help many young Chinese players.
In the face of reporters' questions about "provoking trouble", he also said that even if the NBA comes to find him again, he will not go back, as long as Beijing wants him, he will stay here until he retires.
After deciding to retire in 2018, he stayed in Beijing and joined the High School Affiliated to Peking University as the head coach of the junior high school men's basketball team, but he only lived this life for a year.
A year later, he returned to the CBA as the coach of the Forbidden Warriors, and although he got off to a good start in his debut, that high level didn't continue.
In the following season, they all failed in key games, and the club invested heavily to achieve such results, and people must have been dissatisfied, and everyone was more skeptical of Marbury at that time.
But the next two games were lost again, and at this time the club completely "couldn't sit still", although the contract with Marbury was renewed, but in terms of salary, it was not as high as it was at the beginning.
"Drive high and go low" has undoubtedly become the most appropriate adjective for Marbury to coach, when playing, he is indeed a good player with quality, but a good player does not equal a good coach.
He has a skill, but the teaching method, or the training process, etc., may not be suitable for the team he coaches in 2023, and the Beijing Enterprises Men's Basketball Club released a message to officially announce that Marbury will no longer coach.
But after so many things, Marbury has not been abused by fans for his poor coaching performance, why is this?
He once explained this problem in an American program, saying that he came to China not for money, as many rumors rumored, but more because of the love and enthusiasm of the fans, which Marbury believes is what he should strive for.
This may be easy to say, but everyone is also "sharp-eyed", through the sharing of his daily life, it is found that he really does this, Marbury really enjoys this Chinese way of life.
Enjoy life in China and will not coach for a short time
When he was in Beijing, he would wear robes, listen to cross talk, take the subway, and use Chinese to order food when he went to a restaurant......
In 2023, Marbury submitted an application to the relevant departments in Hong Kong to convey his willingness to settle in Hong Kong.
Marbury said that he applied for Hong Kong because he liked Hong Kong very much, and hoped to actively integrate into Hong Kong culture and promote the further development of basketball.
On April 3rd, Marbury actively interacted and communicated with 30 teenagers who love basketball at an event, sharing some of the experience he gained from playing at that time with the children.
At the scene, a reporter asked about the coach's awareness, and he said that he would not think about it in the next two or three years, and he thought that he should spend some time enjoying life.
In addition to these work things, Marbury also has a lot of private life, and he made an appointment with Sun Yue to play wild ball together, and when the two played ball, they also asked the people around them to record this and share it on the Internet.
When Marbury himself has free time, he will also visit the Great Wall and other representative places in China, and even take the initiative to share and promote Chinese culture and festivals on international social media without any request from the organization.
He said that he hopes that in this way, more people can understand Chinese culture, respect and love it. In addition, he also created his own fashion brand.
When the new model is released, it will also use its own social accounts to promote and share. Marbury is really "perfect" in terms of "surfing" on the Chinese Internet.
Many of the social apps that everyone uses often use will create accounts and share their lives on them. Giant-like, when you see the daily life he postes, you still feel that he has a "child's heart".
epilogue
Marbury, who used to sweat on the court, is now a thing of the past, but judging from what he shared, he should be very happy at the moment.
With a sense of curiosity, explore your own life. I also hope that Marbury's life in China will be smoother and more people will understand Chinese culture!
