On October 17, Beijing time, at the beginning of the new CBA season yesterday evening, the Shenzhen team suddenly officially announced an important decision, and the team's owner Meng Duo officially announced his retirement, and many people were caught off guard.
The Shenzhen team pointed out in the official announcement that when the 30-year-old Meng Duo announced his retirement, many people were surprised by this. Meng Duo said that many friends have suggested that he play for two more years, and he also feels that his body should be able to persist for two more years, but in the past few years, he has been affected by injuries, physical wear and tear is very serious, and the tendons near the knee have deteriorated significantly, making him feel that there is no way to enjoy basketball with everyone 100% on the court, which is why he finally chose to give up.
To know that Meng Duo is only 30 years old, after officially entering the CBA League in 2006, in the past 14 years of his career, he has played in three teams in Shenzhen, Xinjiang and Guangdong, and has scored an average of 16 points per game in a single season, and many Chinese fans jokingly call him Wade Jr. However, at the end of 2012, Meng Duo suffered a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament for the first time, which directly led to his serious injury and reimbursement for 10 months. After returning from injury, Meng Duo was forced to try to start the transformation, change the way of play, and use more outside three-point shooting to hit opponents, in a game in 2016, when Meng Duo hit 10 three-pointers in a crazy way, setting a career, and the number of three-point shots in a single game was crazy to cut 33 points.
In August 2018, Meng Duo officially transferred to Guangdong, and in the regular season, Guangdong team defeated Xinjiang 129:127, when Meng Duo cut 10 points and 4 rebounds in 29 minutes, and hit the whistle in the final attack, successfully helping Guangdong to defeat a strong opponent. In the end, in that season, Meng Duo successfully realized his dream and helped the team win the CBA championship.
In terms of the national team, Meng Duo was selected into the national Olympic team in 2011, and in 2017, he entered the training list of the Chinese men's basketball team, and once entered the Chinese red team as the captain of Li Nan's team. If it weren't for the serious injuries, Meng Duo's ceiling would be far from here.
