On September 17, Shanxi Xingrui Professional Basketball Club "officially announced" the news.
The 28-year-old Wang Xuehao is 185cm tall and weighs 72KG, and has played as a forward in the Bayi women's basketball team. The girl from Korla, Xinjiang, wearing the No. 8 jersey, has a side face similar to Guan Xiaotong, and almost all the media will carry the title of "basketball beauty" when mentioning the name "Wang Xuehao". Wang Xuehao, who always simply tied her long hair to a ponytail, played very flowing, and was notoriously fast on the court, and once had a heroic performance of cutting 22 points at halftime.
For the Shanxi women's basketball team, wang Xuehao's joining can be described as "timely", in the position of the front, Wang Xuehao is a very distinctive and practical player. "Unlike his role in the national team, after joining the Shanxi team, Wang Xuehao can play in both small forward and big forward positions." Li Jianfei, deputy general manager and team leader of the Shanxi Zhuyeqing women's basketball team, said.
On the 15th, Wang Xuehao said in an exclusive interview with reporters that he "hopes to integrate into this new collective at the fastest speed."
Strong assistance Shanxi women's basketball team
On October 19 last year, with the announcement of the Bayi men's and women's basketball team's withdrawal from the CBA and WCBA leagues, the storm of the dissolution of the Bayi team was settled. About the whereabouts of Xinjiang beauty queen Xuehao, it has been rumored for a long time, and now the dust has finally settled.
From mid-June to Shanxi Xingrui Professional Basketball Club, Wang Xuehao has been training in Taiyuan for 3 months. When it comes to the reasons for joining the Shanxi women's basketball team, the choice of this Libra girl is not "hesitant", but has a comprehensive and mature consideration that does not belong to the normal state of the zodiac sign -
"It is no stranger to the Shanxi women's basketball team, and it will be encountered in the league every year. From the system, to the coach, the club level, and the players, even the logistics, I think it is better in the basketball club. What is important is that the Shanxi women's basketball team also has a championship background. "In addition to the attractiveness of the Shanxi women's basketball team itself, Wang Xuehao especially mentioned Wu Tongtong, both of whom are teammates of the national team and have many experiences shoulder to shoulder in international competitions." We had a good personal relationship, and through her, I also got to know our team. ”
Last season, Wu Tongtong, the head of the Shanxi women's basketball team as the captain, often played the whole field and could not rest for a second. In the new season, Wang Xuehao joined, as a sharp soldier in the front line, Wang Xuehao always runs, breaks through, intersperses, echoes on the field... Never "waiting for the ball" and playing at his own pace. In addition, Wu Tongtong himself is also a speed athlete, and the two "national players" will most likely set off a "speed storm" on the field, which is expected.
In fact, Wang Xuehao joined the Shanxi Zhuyeqing women's basketball team is not accidental, from last season to know that the Bayi team is going to disband, the club began to contact. Previously, Guo Zixuan and other players who were originally loaned to the Shanxi team have returned to their respective clubs, and Wang Xuehao's joining can be described as "timely rain". "Unlike his role in the national team, after joining the Shanxi team, Wang Xuehao can play in both small forward and big forward positions." Li Jianfei, deputy general manager and team leader of the Shanxi Zhuyeqing women's basketball team, said, "Previously, Wu Tongtong took on more scoring tasks in the Shanxi team, and after Wang Xuehao joined, the outside scoring points will share the pressure of Wu Tongtong. ”
In the past few months of coming to Shanxi, team leader Li Jianfei observed that Wang Xuehao, who came out of the "Bayi Iron Army", has a strong sense of self-discipline, and her arrival has also played an exemplary role for the young players of the club.
The new season, fresh blood, look forward to Shanxi Zhuyeqing women's basketball team to create new surprises.
His career began with the Bayi team
Born in Korla, Xinjiang, Wang Xuehao joined the school track and field team from the second grade of primary school. After entering middle school, her excellent physical fitness was favored by the coach of the local amateur sports school and she practiced basketball instead. At the age of 15, Wang Xuehao was admitted to Changsha Yali Middle School to major in basketball. During his time at school, Wang Xuehao participated in many national events such as the National Basketball Association Cup High School Girls' Basketball Championship and the National U17 Women's Basketball Tournament. In 2010, Wang Xuehao was favored by the Bayi team and directly became a professional player from a high school student. In 2011, she made her debut in the WCBA League and started her basketball career.
The Bayi women's basketball team of that year was full of national players, which was a veritable "dream team" in the WCBA arena, and the manager was Sui Feifei, the "first beauty in the basketball world". Stepping into the training ground of the Bayi team for the first time and seeing Chen Nan, Song Xiaoyun and other national players, "high school student" Wang Xuehao still did not dare to believe that he was going to play a professional game. After entering the Bayi team, Wang Xuehao has experienced 4 coaches - Sui Feifei, Ma Lianbao, Ma Yuenan, and Zhan Shuping. Different coaches, Wang Xuehao learned different things, the most memorable thing for her is the deceased Coach Ma Lianbao, and Coach Ma also briefly served as the head coach of the Shanxi men's basketball team.
"At that time, the Bayi team except for me was basically a national player, and I was under more pressure, but I wanted to play." Wang Xuehao recalled that when he first joined the team, he was in a slump for a while, "but Ma Dao (Ma Lianbao) told me that if you want to play, you must find a foothold for yourself This sentence woke up Wang Xuehao, and she began to practice defense. In the 2013-2014 season, Wang Xuehao had the opportunity to play, and what impressed her most was the fight with the Shanxi women's basketball team.
"At that time, Maya Moore had just arrived in Shanxi, and it was the time when she was in the best condition, and Ma Dao asked me to defend her. Ma Dao said that if Maya scores 40 points this time, the next game you defend her to 30 points, even if it is successful! In the face of the "female Jordan" in front of him, Coach Ma Lianbao gave Wang Xuehao the most direct tactical arrangement - "You are like a rag wrapped around her legs!" After the league played that year, Wang Xuehao improved rapidly, and she felt that she had finally "gained a foothold" in the Bayi team.
Head coach Sui Feifei also gave Wang Xuehao great encouragement and guidance. With the accumulation of competition experience, Wang Xuehao has become more and more comprehensive in technology. In the 2014-2015 season, she averaged 37 minutes per game, with 14 points and 4.6 rebounds... Wang Xuehao quickly grew into one of the core players of the Bayi women's basketball team, receiving more attention from the outside world, and fans called her "Sui Feifei's successor" because the two were somewhat similar in size and style, and both were beautiful. But in Wang Xuehao's view, there is a big gap between herself and Sui Feifei in terms of technology, and Sui Dao is her role model to learn.
Wang Xuehao, who is in the ascending period, soon encountered a problem that athletes can't avoid - injuries. In 2015, it was the trough of Wang Xuehao's career, and her shooting rate in the league on the inside and outside lines dropped sharply, "At that time, there were one after another injuries, ankle injuries, lateral ligament ruptures, waist injuries... repeatedly. In the face of adversity, Wang Xuehao constantly adjusted himself, although the playing time decreased, but the rebounds did not drop, assists and steals increased. Such an experience has allowed Wang Xuehao to slowly mature in the "mentality" of competitive sports.
This year is the 10th year of Wang Xuehao's basketball career. Looking back at the impact of the Bayi team on his career, Wang Xuehao said a string without thinking: militarized management, ideological education, and the way to deal with the world... And what is most burned into her bones is the "bloody nature of soldiers who do not accept transfusion, and the attitude of bleeding and tears without falling behind!" ”
With the official withdrawal of the Bayi men's and women's basketball team from the stage of Chinese basketball, the players join other teams to continue to compete in the CBA League, but they still have a unique "iron army spirit" and "hot blood on the field".
On October 20, Wang Xuehao will usher in the age of 28. Since leaving home at the age of 15, Wang Xuehao's birthday has always been spent in the group. At the 2019 World Military Games, the Bayi women's basketball team won the gold medal under the leadership of the famous coach Zhan Shuping. After the competition, Wang Xuehao and his parents who came to watch the game had a rare "reunion" birthday in the canteen of the sports village. This is an unforgettable birthday memory, and the glory of the August 1 women's basketball team at the Military Games also makes Wang Xue hazy unforgettable.
Selected for the national team to usher in the international arena
The Bayi team brought Wang Xuehao, in addition to the growth of his basketball career, there was also the opportunity to step into the door of the national team.
2018 was a fortunate year for Wang Xuehao, and this year, she gained a lot - in the WCBA League 2017-2018 season, she averaged 14.6 points per game, setting a record for her own career in the league, and also set a personal record in terms of free throw shooting rate and steals; this year, Wang Xuehao was not only selected as an All-Star in the WCBA, but also entered the dream national team.
"The first time I stepped into the national team training stadium, it felt very different." Wang Xuehao still remembers that picture: "The national flag was hung in the middle of the venue, on the left was the photo of the previous team, and on the right was the list of 12 people from the previous session." Wang Xuehao is full of expectations for this new environment, "the first time I got the equipment, it was printed with the 'China' logo, and when I put on that dress, I really felt that I was representing China." ”
On September 1, 2018, the Chinese women's basketball team defeated the Korean United women's basketball team and won the women's basketball championship of the 18th Jakarta Asian Games, which was the second time that the Chinese women's basketball team had reached the highest podium of the Asian Games after eight years. This is also the first time Wang Xuehao has boarded the "international arena", in this Asian Games team, there are both Han Xu and Li Yueru composed of the "inner double tower", and There are teams such as Shao Ting, as well as Sun Mengran, Huang Sijing, these "veterans" who have participated in the Olympic Games, wang Xuehao can be selected for the 12-person roster is not easy. "Xu Dao (Chinese women's basketball head coach Xu Limin) talked to me and felt that I was training steadily, and my characteristics were obvious: defense, fast attack, three-point shot ”
On September 21, 20 days after the end of the Asian Games, Wang Xuehao was once again shortlisted for the Women's Basketball World Cup. In the 2018 Spanish Women's Basketball World Cup group stage match against the United States, Wang Xuehao scored three three-pointers on the court, with an eye-catching performance, "At that time, Tao Lexi defended me, and I shot a three-pointer in front of her. Mentioning this paragraph, a smile appeared on Wang Xuehao's face. Indeed, Tao Lexi, known as 'Female Jordan', is a TOP 1 presence in the history of the WNBA, and at this year's Tokyo Olympic Games, she achieved her 5 consecutive Olympic championships and is the leader of the American women's basketball team. Being able to pass in front of high-level athletes, Wang Xuehao feels that it is the best opportunity to improve himself.
From the Asian Games to the World Cup, the experience of the international arena has made Wang Xuehao's career path move in a higher direction, and also made Wang Xuehao's experience from a high school student entering the professional team to being selected for the national team add more differences, and she constantly refreshes her record. In November 2019, the official wei of the Chinese basketball team announced the 12-member list of the Asian region qualifiers for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Women's Basketball Qualifying Tournament, and Wang Xuehao was selected. In March 2021, Wang Xuehao was once again selected as the "Training List of the Chinese Women's Basketball Team preparing for the Tokyo Olympic Games".
Wang Xue, who was preparing for the battle, silently competed, waiting for the arrival of the Tokyo Olympic Games, which was postponed due to the epidemic four months later.
The "most regrettable" and "new beginnings" are all this year
However, the experience of reality has struck again, and the "injury" has come more quickly than before, and this time Wang Xuehao has encountered no longer a trough period, but the "biggest regret" in his career!
"Four years of an Olympic cycle, for athletes, 4 years of all the suffering has been eaten, but also experienced some experiences, but at the last critical moment, you must make a reluctant choice - when you want to give up, it is very uncomfortable ... . . ”
Sitting on the fitness ball in the gym of the Red Lantern Women's Basketball Training Ground, Wang Xuehao's words were full of helplessness. But this is not a simple "regret" and "pity" words can be understated and laughed off.
This is not a sudden injury, but an outbreak caused by long-term high-intensity exercise and long-term injury. Considering that systematic training could not be guaranteed, Wang Xuehao withdrew from the national team in June this year. Before leaving, head coach Xu Limin was more encouraged, "Recover as soon as possible and return to the stadium." ”
This year has regrets, and this year is also a new beginning.
"I hope that the regrets of summer are all the foreshadowing of autumn surprises!" On August 22, Wang Xuehao updated this Weibo.
After coming to the Shanxi team, Wang Xuehao mainly focused on rehabilitation training, and the foreign teacher added some confrontation exercises after returning, and she would train with the team in the afternoon technical class It is not long before the start of the new season in November, the time is relatively tight, Wang Xuehao is also anxious, she hopes to integrate into this new group as quickly as possible. "I think the atmosphere in the team is very good, everyone takes good care of me ”
The Shanxi team once had the glory of "three consecutive championships" and had a wealth of coaching experience in Spanish coach Cesar. Now, Wang Xuehao joined the Shanxi women's basketball team, and she hopes to integrate into the team as soon as possible and help the team achieve good results. Wang Xuehao, who has won the Asian Games, the National Games and the Military Games, has always longed for a league championship, and she hopes that this wish can be realized in the Shanxi team.
【Reporter's Note】
Behind the "Basketball Beauty" label
Hiding a "Doraemon"
"Chinese basketball beauty", "high-value strength female general"...
When it comes to Wang Xuehao, many descriptions of her are inseparable from such labels.
Sitting 1 meter away from the reporter, this face with a high nose and deep eyes is unforgettable and has an exotic beauty.
For such labels that appear frequently, Wang Xuehao did not recognize or shirk, but revealed a faint smile that seemed to have nothing to do with him. "Really? I usually don't care much about appearance, and my friends who ask me to dinner hate me for dressing 'too casually'. Privately, I pay more attention to housekeeping. ”
Once in the Bayi team, Wang Xuehao received a nickname from his teammates - "Doraemon". "Dream" and "hazy" harmonic sound, the same as the robot cat, Wang Xuehao is also the "small treasure house" of the women's basketball girl, the lack of this little time, usually fully prepared Wang Xuehao is definitely the teammate's "timely rain", with many "responsive" treasures.
After 3 months, Wang Xuehao quickly adapted and integrated into Shanxi's environment, from climate to diet.
"I play in Beijing all year round, and the climate has not changed much. Xinjiang is also dominated by noodles, and Shanxi's noodles are more famous, and I haven't had time to go out and taste it yet. Asked about his hobbies in life, Wang Xuehao's answer was only one word - eat! When she has free time, she likes to go to the "shop" and discover the food in the surrounding area.
Before the interview began, she chose to sit on a fitness ball lower than the reporter's seat, and carefully took care of the imbalance caused by the height difference between the two sides, which matched the diplomacy and intimate characteristics of the Libra woman.
After the end, Wang Xuehao took off his sportswear, changed into his own casual clothes, and "lay" a cute stuffed bear on his right shoulder, and as the owner got up, this "pet" seemed to suddenly jump into the air and cute to the "sky". In Beijing, Wang Xuehao, who has two pet dogs, Teddy and Corgi, looks at the photos on her phone and says she misses them...
The beautiful woman who fights very the field leaves the arena is a Doraemon with a girlish heart and a second dimension.
