When it comes to our first person in Chinese basketball, it is Yao Ming. As the first NBA show in Asia, and at the same time the first chinese show, Yao Ming played his own value in the NBA, played for 8 years, once became the league's spokesperson for China, can play so well on the world's top stage, and his height of 2 meters 26 has a lot to do with it, of course, height is not an absolute factor, the efforts of the day after tomorrow are more important.
Basketball is indeed a sport that requires height, the higher the body, it is easier to become the main force on the basketball court, in addition to Yao Ming, there is a giant in the Chinese basketball world, he is sun Mingming, who is taller than Yao Ming. Sun Mingming reached a height of 2 meters 36, the tallest among professional players at that time, so he was also known as the first giant of the men's basketball team. He has played in the CBA before and has also been auditioned by NBA teams, although the starting point is very high, but Sun Mingming has not performed particularly well in professional basketball. In his four years with the CBA, he has not averaged more than 5 points per game and has limited playing time.
The main reason is that he does have height, but this height has also become a burden for him, Sun Mingming can't keep up with the rhythm of the game physically, and he is already out of breath after running back and forth for a few rounds. And Sun Mingming's skills are not particularly solid, in the game the other side can use fouls to create him a certain amount of trouble, which led to Sun Mingming's professional basketball career did not last long, in 2012 retired.
Although there is not much achievement in the professional basketball world, sun Mingming is invincible in the amateur game. In the village game he participated in, Sun Mingming only used his height to crush the opponent, we all know that the level of the village game is not high, and it is rare to find a player of more than 2 meters, so when Sun Mingming is under the basket, basically no one can defend him, so scoring is also easy, plus the village game is different from the professional league, and it is necessary to restrain the opponent through a lot of fouls, which makes Sun Mingming become the big devil on the court.
It is reported that Sun Mingming's appearance fee for playing a village game is about 50,000 yuan, which is far higher than his salary when he played in the CBA. According to his previous salary in Beijing, it may be more than 200,000 a year, and now he can earn 50,000 yuan by playing a village game, which is really good for Sun Mingming, and he can play 5 games a month.
In fact, there are also players like Sun Mingming in the NBA, and Takofal, who joined the Green Army last season, is also 2 meters 30 tall, can dunk while standing, and has become the team's favorite, and every time he plays, he will get some attention and cheers. Although Tacofar's height is already excellent, athletic ability is OK, but still did not get too many opportunities, the reason is that the current era is not the era of giants, but the era of accurate shooting technology, height is no longer the main factor testing a person's ability, there is accurate projection and physical control, a few rounds can run paralyzed opponents, Sun Mingming should not have caught up with the good times.
