Standing silently on the edge of the bench, watching the podium in the center of the stadium, the children held aloft the championship gold rebounds, shouting and cheering, living and freeing themselves more than twenty years ago. At this time, Zheng Wu's heart may be happier than when he lifted various trophies before.
On the evening of August 29, Beijing time, the 22nd China Collegiate Basketball League First Division (Men's Group) National Finals was played at the Quanzhou Straits Sports Center. After four fierce quarters of fierce fighting, Tsinghua University won 83:75 against Central South University and was crowned, and won the CUBA gold rebound after three years.
This game attracted Zheng Wu, the main striker of China's golden generation and a famous player in Zhejiang men's basketball team, to the scene to watch the game.
Because Zheng Wu's son Zheng Qilong plays for the Tsinghua University men's basketball team, he is about to retire from the team in his fifth year this year, which is his last chance to get CUBA before he retires, and now it has finally come true.
No wonder Zheng Wu rushed to the scene of the Quanzhou CUBA competition, just like ordinary parents, sitting in the stands to cheer for his son and witness his son win the national championship.
Born on April 10, 1996, Zheng Qilong is 2 meters 03 meters tall and weighs 95 kilograms, 5 centimeters taller than Zheng Wu.
Zheng Wu is very concerned about everything about his son, originally this year's draft was held when the CUBA competition was in progress, and Zheng Wu also wanted to watch his son's draft on the spot. "Because of the epidemic, the control is relatively strict, the draft did not come, now look at the situation is OK, and this is his last year of playing, there is hope to impact the championship, just come to cheer him on."
Not only the finals, Zheng Wu also participated in the retirement ceremony held by CUBA for the players of the last year.
But this is not the first time Zheng Wu came to the scene to cheer his son up, "there was also an opportunity to see CUBA on the spot, but I was very busy as a coach, last year in Hangzhou Zhejiang University played the top 32, I was in Wuhan at the time, I didn't have time to watch." ”
Although the day's game, Tsinghua University until the second half of the gradual establishment of the lead, but in the stands to watch the zheng wu has been very calm performance, but from time to time to evaluate the performance of the team, but Zheng Wu's wife, Zheng Qilong's mother, completely like the average parent, fully support their son, the whole game, has been cheering for the team, cheering for Zheng Qilong, the whole field counts several people in their cheering group the loudest.
"The strength of the two teams is very close, the key is to look at the mentality, Tsinghua University plays normally, and it should be no problem to win the championship." And the result of the game was just as Zheng Wu predicted. After the game, Zheng Wu walked into the arena from the stands and silently walked all the way to the bench of Tsinghua University, first exchanging a few words with Chen Lei, the former captain of the Beijing men's basketball team and now the coach of the Tsinghua University men's basketball team, and then silently paying attention to Zheng Qilong, who was crazy and celebrating with his teammates.

When the carnival ended, Zheng Qilong was pulled aside by the reporter and asked about the feeling of ending the curtain with the championship, he kept sighing that it was finally complete: "In fact, we have been preparing for this competition, and now that we have won the championship, we have met our expectations, and we are finally worthy of our long-term efforts." ”
After ending his college basketball career, Zheng Qilong will accept the challenge on a new field. At this year's draft, Li Nan, the newly appointed coach of the Jiangsu men's basketball team and former national men's basketball coach, selected him with the fifth pick in the first round. He will be a member of the CBA.
As a veteran figure in the Chinese basketball world and a CBA celebrity, Zheng Wu naturally has a lot of experience to pass on to his son. However, he prefers his son to be able to deal with the problem by himself, after experiencing the confusion of the first few years of college, he is very happy to find that his son has his own ideas and his own goals in these two years, and the goal that Zheng Qilong has determined is the CBA field where his father has achieved brilliant results. "The road is very tough. Let him walk more steadily, we will naturally provide us with the help we can, but it is up to him to work hard. ”
Zheng Wu also anticipated the pressure that Zheng Qilong would face as the "second generation of the ball", Zheng Qilong himself knew this, after understanding his father's previous achievements on the court, Zheng Qilong directly sighed: CUBA, CBA, national team, national team main force, this is several levels of difference, he himself feels that it is too difficult to catch up. Instead, zheng wu was asked to give him psychological counseling: "Daddy is Daddy, you are you, you just do yourself." ”
Zheng Qilong told reporters that after the end of this CUBA game, he went to the Jiangsu men's basketball team to report in two days, and for this CBA, he has his own positioning: "Reflect your ability in a higher arena, see what level you can achieve there, the professional arena is much higher than this level, so it is still a challenge to yourself." He also revealed that he had learned about the situation from the seniors who fought in the CBA, but who asked specifically, he also sold a cute and said: "Can't disclose." ”
And Zheng Wu, who knows more about his son's ability and the situation of the CBA, also understands the advantages and disadvantages of the child, Zheng Qilong's growth and development is relatively late, the body is not very strong, and the time for training in school is not enough, anyway, he is ready to let the children suffer in the team first, "but he has studied in the campus for so many years, accepted more things, the ability to resist pressure is enhanced, the ability to adjust is also stronger, and the information instilled by the coach will be absorbed and executed very quickly, which is the advantage of these players who have studied in college." In addition, many professional coaches have seen him and think that he has good talent and should be able to play. ”
Determined that he will go to the Jiangsu men's basketball team, as a famous star in the circle, Zheng Wu naturally had to communicate with coach Li Nan, so he learned that Li Nan was determined to build a new team, after having this idea, Li Nan understood the situation of Zheng Qilong very early, and at the same time selected him at the draft meeting, he also wanted to bring more young players to the front line. It can be said that Zheng Qilong went to the Jiangsu men's basketball team to do something.
So after the end of the CUBA journey, I saw Zheng Qilong again on the CBA field, and Zheng Wu was full of expectations like everyone.
