Last season, the Liaoning men's basketball team passed the hurdles and successfully realized the CBA championship. In fact, as a major sports province, Liaoning has cultivated many talents for Chinese basketball. Even today's Liaoning players are still all over the league, but for various reasons, the Liaoning men's basketball team has never been able to retain talents. Today we will take stock of the five major stars in the history of Liaoning.
Asia's no. 1 center Wang Zhidan
Wang Zhidan is 2 meters 14 tall, has excellent footing and defensive ability, and has a high tactical status in both the national team and the club. At the Barcelona Olympics, Wang Zhidan became the team's defensive gate and team rebounding king. At the same time, in the 90s, Wang Zhidan helped the Liaoning men's basketball team dominate the country, and won almost all the national championships of all sizes. Unfortunately, at the age of 25, he suffered a serious injury and had no choice but to retire.
Guo Shiqiang led the team to realize the dream
Guo Shiqiang is an offensive point guard with a precise three-point shot and breakthrough ability. But when he first debuted, it was the heyday of Liaoning, and there was no place for him in the team, and he was loaned to Sichuan by the team. It was not until after he proved himself in Sichuan that he was recalled by Liaoning. After that, Guo Shiqiang gradually gained a foothold in the Liaoning team and the national team with his spirit of desperate sanlang. To say that Guo Shiqiang's biggest contribution to Liaoning basketball is to lead the team to successfully win the CBA championship last season.
Li Xiaoyong stood out
Li Xiaoyong can be said to be the most stable defender in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team, and also the chief point guard of the Liaoning men's basketball team, who can break through, shoot and pass on the field. At the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games, Li Xiaoyong stood out in the competition with Adi Jiang and Ma Jian and other good players, became the core point guard of the men's basketball team, and helped the Chinese men's basketball team to break into the Olympic quarterfinals in history, and Li Xiaoyong's performance of 7.1 points, 4.1 assists and 2.91 rebounds in eight games also did not live up to the expectations of Gong Luming's guidance.
Wu Qinglong scored 21 points in a single quarter
Wu Qinglong is one of the few fat point guards in the history of Chinese basketball, and his biggest characteristics are physical strength and mental quality. At the 1993 Shanghai East Asian Games, Wu Qinglong also staged a 21-point play in a single quarter, helping the Chinese men's basketball team to reverse the victory over South Korea in the final. At the same time, Wu Qinglong has a good story in his coaching career, in the period of coaching Shaanxi Dongsheng Team, Wu Qinglong once played the whole game with the starting five, which is also unique in the history of Chinese basketball.
Wu Naiqun compartmentalized Mo Ning
Wu Has a perverted physique and excellent interior skills, has grabbed 21 rebounds in a single game, and has also been named Asia's Player of the Year. Among the Liaoning basketballs, which were rich in defenders, Wu Naiqun was the best big forward in the history of Chinese basketball at that time. The Liaoning Basketball Trident, which he formed with Wu Qinglong and Li Xiaoyong, led Liaoning to the CBA Finals three times. To say that the most exciting scene of Wu Naiqun's career is undoubtedly in the face of Dream II that year, Wu Naiqun completed a violent dunk on the head of the NBA legendary Inner Lineman Mo Ning.
