Compared with the national football team, which has been standing still, the Chinese men's basketball team's progress from loneliness to glory makes the Chinese people feel more down-to-earth and have a sense of accomplishment for their own children.
The reason why we should always maintain a sense of awe for the predecessors who led the Chinese men's basketball team to the world is that it is precisely because of them that the Chinese men's basketball team has slowly entered the world and shined more brilliance for Chinese sports!
It is also because of their glorious achievements that the Chinese people are proud of, so that more young people can understand the charm of Chinese basketball!
Do you know who were the Chinese stars who were popular all over the world at that time?
"Zhu 8" - Zhu Fangyu
Zhu Fangyu, from emerging in the CBA in 2000, to the core and main force of Guangdong Hongyuan, and then to compete in three Olympic Games.
He is always shining, Zhu Fangyu's every figure on the field has brought infinite glory and pride to us Chinese, and more and more events have made him famous, known as the best CBA.
Under his leadership, he has achieved top rankings in two Olympic Games, so why doesn't the NBA have such a good strength?
25-year-old Zhu Fangyu will not have more room for improvement in various functions of the body like young people in the ball industry, and the intensity of NBA training is undoubtedly a huge challenge for a 25-year-old athlete.
After careful consideration, he didn't want to become a "drink" for others to replenish his energy at an age when he could continue to play.
He wanted to keep his presence in more tournaments in his playing years, and after giving up the NBA option, he still trained hard to bring more surprises to everyone on the court.
He has laid a world of his own in his own way, so everyone praises Zhu Fangyu every time.
"Yi Di" - Yi Jianlian
Yi Jianlian, he was remembered by many fans for his excellent basketball skills as early as when he was in the CBA, and even called him the next Yao Ming.
Yi Jianlian achieved the best result of his career on the court in the NBA draft, and became the Chinese player who shot the most three-pointers in the NBA, what a powerful strength.
Such a result not only made domestic fans crazy, but also ushered in the attention of the Los Angeles Lakers and decided to include Yi Jianlian under his command.
At that time, Yi Jianlian re-opened the fans with new hope.
But I never expected that in less than a month, Yi Jianlian took the initiative to ask for the termination of the contract, what happened behind this?
It turned out that after entering the NBA, Yi Jianlian, the Lakers restricted his appearance in many games, not only that, but even the players in the team would not support him on the court even after playing.
This made Yi Jianlian feel that there was no team spirit to cooperate here, and he was very helpless, even if he worked hard, he would have nowhere to play his advantages, and he had his own ideas very much at this time, so he chose to leave decisively.
After Yi Jianlian returned to China, he still forged ahead, brought many creative contributions to the Chinese men's basketball team, and won a lot of honors, becoming a warrior in everyone's mouth!
"Tiger King" - Sun Jun
Sun Jun, who is second to none in Jilin basketball, is now 55 years old, he can be described as a veteran in the history of Chinese men's basketball.
Sun Jun's ability to achieve glory comes from his down-to-earth hard work, step by step, from the national youth team to the national team, every minute and every second of his career has been dedicated to the country.
As the veteran captain of the Chinese men's basketball team, he plays the role of a parent in the team, often giving constructive advice to everyone, leading the players all the way forward and working hard!
On the CBA field, Wang Jun won the MVP of the regular season twice, and his performance in the Olympic stage and the World Championships, which everyone highly valued, won glory for the country.
The 30-year-old Sun Jun's record in the league is also a realm that many local players cannot reach.
Who would have thought that Sun Jun would become one of the shareholders of the team after retiring, and still support the development of the national basketball team in another aspect and dedicate his other strength to the basketball industry!
Demon knife - Wang Shipeng
How capable is Wang Shipeng?
From the moment Wang Shipeng stepped into the CBA arena, he began his road to becoming a god for eight championships, which can't help but be amazing.
Later, he was selected for the national team and participated in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, and he dedicated all his youth to the national team, which made many fans respect him.
In the 2010 Cup, they defeated their archrival Iran 86-64, and later played in the final of the Asian Games, beating South Korea by six points to win the seventh championship for China.
At that time, Wang Shipeng had great fame and appeal, and was known as one of the strongest guards, and it was such an excellent men's basketball team that accidentally fell in the game and cracked his right hand bone, and announced his retirement in 2016.
Although he has retired, his ability is recognized by everyone, his achievements make everyone proud, and everything he has dedicated to the country is worth remembering.
Little Giant - Yao Ming
Yao Ming, 2.26m tall, this number is beyond the reach of many people, and his height makes everyone think that he was born for basketball.
Yao Ming is an unconfident person, but it is because of basketball that he slowly opens his heart and has the courage to face everything, which is why Yao Ming embarked on the journey of basketball.
At first, Yao Ming's results in the NBA were not satisfactory at the beginning, and his scores were getting lower and lower every time, and the outside world questioned him at that time, and he was once called a "parallel import".
Public opinion from the outside world will bring a lot of pressure to people, but people with real strength are not afraid of rumors and move forward bravely.
Soon at the 2004 Athens Olympics, the so-called "parallel import" in other people's mouths used to score again and again against New Zealand, making those who once questioned him slap in the face.
Later, Yao Ming made a strong appearance in the Beijing Olympics, and spared no effort against Germany, scoring 25 points in one fell swoop, allowing the world to see his strong ability, and Chinese basketball also made a leap under his leadership.
Yao Ming's existence is not only for China, but also for Asia in the field of basketball fame, and later Yao Ming's retirement made everyone deeply regret, the era of national basketball belongs to him came to an end.
"Asian Jordan" - Hu Weidong
Hu Weidong can be regarded as a veteran-level figure in the CBA, and the CBA is like witnessing the growth of a child for him.
The very dazzling three-point shot is the icing on the cake for him, making his position in the Chinese basketball field unshakable.
Hu Weidong made great achievements in the national team, won the championship in the Asian Games in Japan, and made the national team achieve some results in the Olympic Games for the first time, making the national basketball team famous in the world.
In the 1998 Asian Games, he once again helped the national team win the championship, and the competition with Kobe Bryant was even more exciting, and the high myopia of 800 still did not affect his signature flying buckle.
Hu Weidong's ability is one of the best in the history of Chinese basketball, and he is the beginning of the national basketball team began to shine.
"Weiping Bryant" - Zhang Weiping
Zhang Weiping, the creator of miracles!
The ceiling of the Chinese men's basketball team's guards, since him, there has never been a historical moment when a guard surpassed him to score an average of 25.3 points per game, which is a unique light for him in the history of national basketball.

"NBA Asia's No. 1 Man" - Wang Zhizhi
How good is Wang Zhizhi?
Wang Zhizhi attracted two major teams at the same time when he made his debut, and when he was in the CBA, he played a very high number of games and won the league championship for 6 years.
was later selected by the Mavericks, because he was too amazing talent and ability at that time, the Chinese team and the Bayi team were inseparable from him, and they did not want such a genius to leave.
Wang Zhizhi's debut in the NBA attracted the attention of the Chinese people, and he also hatted NBA Robinson in the following games, further proving his strength.
It is this young man whose strength and basketball dominance are both online, why is he expelled from the national team?
At that time, the 25-year-old Wang Zhizhi was no longer young and needed more training and improvement, the NBA arranged for him to participate in the summer league, and at the same time collided with the domestic game time, because Wang Zhizhi refused to return to China to play and was expelled from the national team.
After being expelled from the national basketball team, there were endless discussions and doubts about him in China, and reprimands also came to his face.
It wasn't until later that the national team came forward and was willing to recall him, and this time Wang Zhizhi also resolutely chose to return to help the national team play.
