The Zhejiang Golden Bulls Youth Army is unstoppable, setting a new record in team history last season, and this team has reached the season of accumulation and harvest. The Taurus are on their way, and like their home stadium, they will rush to Jinhua to have a new collision with the Jinhua Sports Center.
CBA league elders, Zhejiang Zhongxin era began, they were once Hangzhou's city card.
At that time, the leader of Zhejiang basketball was Zheng Wu, who reversed Spain in 1994 to help the Chinese men's basketball team break into the world's top eight for the first time, and the final winning goal was completed by him. When the CBA league began in 1995, Zheng Wu was 28 years old in the year of playing, and his internal and external combination with Yu Leping was the cornerstone of Zhejiang.
Zhejiang business dares to be the first in the world, and the characteristics of lively thinking also appear in the club, and the first foreign assistant of the CBA, Mikhail Savinkov, joined Zhongxin in the 95-96 season. With a monthly salary of 500 US dollars, Uzbekistan players are practical and easy to use, mainly playing the No. 4 position, and Yu Leping and Zheng Wu are collectively known as the "Three Musketeers of Qianjiang", so Zhejiang won the 6th place in the league in the first year.
During this period, Zhejiang's home stadium was placed in the Hangzhou Gymnasium, a 5,000-person hall built in 1966 with the shape of a "hull". Everything in Zhejiang did not wait for the east wind, Zheng Wu broke the right knee anterior cruciate ligament after the 96 Olympics, suffered a car accident in 98, Zhejiang quickly returned after relegation in the 96-97 season, and the 97-98 season was difficult to relegate, and then, the whirlwind horse replaced the squirrel, and the wanma era began.
In 2001, Wan Ma signed American foreign aid Sam Gaode, which was adapted to the small fast ball style, and Gao De brought the first peak of the Wan Ma era. In the same year, Wanma reached an agreement with Liaoning, and the national player Wu Naiqun permanently transferred to join, which was the first transfer of the national player in the history of the CBA, which opened the league atmosphere.
Under the strategic planning of Wanma, in the 01-02 season, Zhejiang set sail again, once again winning the 6th place in the best team history. However, in the early days of Wanma, this memory was more left in the Shaoxing City Gymnasium and Zhuji City Gymnasium, and on March 17, 2002, Zhejiang defeated Jilin at the home Zhuji City Gymnasium, winning the first home victory in the team's history.
Unfortunately, veteran Zheng Wu was subsequently injured and Zhejiang was eliminated 2-3.
Zhuji became a national basketball city in 2000, and Wanma used this place as its home stadium for several consecutive years, but in the 03-04 season, fanatical fans repeatedly overbearing, resulting in the league finally announcing on December 30, 2003 that it would disqualify the division and force Wanma to change its home stadium. The second half of the season was played at the Huanglong Stadium in Hangzhou, and Zhuji did not have a CBA team for 15 years.
In a lamentable ending, Zhejiang bid farewell to Zhuji and returned to the Hangzhou Gymnasium in the 04-05 season, but at this time, veteran Zheng Wu has announced his retirement. In 2005, Hangzhou's second professional basketball club, Guangsha Lions, was established, but Wan Ma left Hangzhou in a hurry in this year, and from 2006, Hangzhou Stadium became the home of Guangsha Stadium, which was later renamed Guangsha Gymnasium.
Wanma brought the team to Jinhua Yiwu, and the Meihu Stadium, which was completed in October 2005, became the new home stadium, with 4,500 fixed seats and 1,500 active seats, with a total capacity of more than 6,000 people, and also met the requirements of the league admission system.
After coming to Yiwu, Wanma sought to open up a new world, far more than the ball market.
Veteran coach Jiang Xingquan parachuted into Yiwu in 2006, 06-07 season, Jiang Lao and former disciple Zheng Wu partnered with the coaching team, promoted the young Ding Jinhui into a team, this season Zhejiang scenery is unlimited, not only 19 wins and 11 losses once again as the 6th to enter the playoffs, but also let the all-stars settle here, Yiwu's lively ball market is impressive.
On February 25, 2007, Zhejiang returned home to meet Bayi, facing Wang Zhizhi, who scored 30 points and 18 rebounds, the two sides fought hard until the last moment, and Chen Lei, a Beijing player who joined Zhejiang as an internal support, scored a key goal steadily, and Wanma won 88-84. However, in front of Bayi, who won the championship since then, Zhejiang has only grabbed this victory, which is also the first playoff victory of Meihu Stadium.
Elder Jiang left in a hurry a year later, and "Best Newcomer" Ding Jinhui became the team's façade and soon became a member of the national team. In the last two years, Wanma set up its home stadium in the Gymnasium of Hangzhou Dianzi University and Hangzhou Gymnasium in Xiasha, but neither of them missed the playoffs, and after the expansion of the CBA in the 08-09 season, Wanma only ranked 14th with 19 wins and 31 losses.
Discouraged, Wan Ma withdrew in 2009 and the Zhejiang Golden Bull arrived.
Chouzhou Commercial Bank became the new owner of Zhejiang, and its head office address was in Yiwu, so meihu stadium continued its journey. In 2009, Zhejiang signed Marcus Williams, under the leadership of him and Ding Jinhui, in the 09-10 season, Zhejiang hit the playoffs, and did not fall behind until the last moments of the season, and in the 10-11 season, Williams led the team back to the playoffs.
On March 11, 2011, Meihu Stadium continued to applaud, Zhejiang defeated the visiting Fujian 123-94 at home, Williams cut three doubles, Ding Jinhui and Cao Fei also cut 20+, three consecutive wins to end the regular season, with 19 wins and 15 losses to lock in the fifth place in the regular season, while setting the best record in the history of the team in 16 years.
However, in the playoffs that year, Zhejiang had bad luck, lost at home overtime, and the third game was hit by Williams in the controversy, and he did not want to be killed by Jiangsu foreign aid Antoine Wright in 2 seconds. Perhaps stimulated, or perhaps driven by the era of offensive tides, Zhejiang has almost become a paradise for big-name scorers.
On February 1, 2012, Zhejiang home to Qingdao, JR-Smith made a big fuss, scored 60 points in 36 minutes, scored 14 three-pointers, including 13 in the second half, and he also had 8 rebounds and 6 steals, no one in the history of the CBA league has ever done it in a single game, which also set a single-game scoring record in the history of Zhejiang team.
Surprisingly, JR's record did not last long, and on January 2, 2013, still at Meihu Stadium, Quincy Dolby shot nine three-pointers on the head of the Shanxi, 16 of 23 from two-point range, 16 of 20 from the free throw line, and went crazy for 75 points, and delivered eight steals and five assists. He set a new single-game scoring record in the CBA League for 18 years, but after bringing the team into the playoffs, he lost all three-point and 10-shot shots in two games.
What's even crazier is that the scoring feast at Meihu Stadium hasn't stopped.
On January 30, 2015, the penultimate game of the season against Guangdong, which won 25 consecutive games, in a game that fans hardly expected, Eric McRoom fell like a god, shooting 26 of 49, 25 of 27 free throws, slashing 82 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals, once again breaking the CBA single-game scoring record, and maintaining it to this day.
Crazy scoring doesn't get Zhejiang to get the record it wants, and only Dolby brought the team to the playoffs in the 12-13 season, and the team also had a super scorer Evan Johnson in the 13-14 season. On December 10, 2013, he scored 54 points and 19 rebounds against Tianjin, but lost two points in overtime, and he was also the only player in the top four scorers to keep the highest score of his career on the road.
A high score in a single game does not necessarily help the team move forward, and since one game does not work, there will be several more games. In the 15-16 season, Zhejiang signed three foreign aides, Willy Warren, Bahrami, Charles Gannis, Warren 4 times 50+ in a single season, all appeared at Meihu Stadium. On January 22, 2016, Warren shot 22-of-40 against Tianjin and had 69 points and 14 rebounds, helping the team to retain suspense in overtime.
Zhejiang also returned to the playoffs in the 15-16 season with Warren's scoring performance at a key moment. On February 15, 2017, in the final home game of the season at Meihu Stadium, Warren once again scored 50 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists, which was his sixth game of 50+ in two seasons, five of which were at home, which was a ticket selling maniac.
In the summer of 2017, Zhejiang left Yiwu and returned to Hangzhou, settling in the Binjiang District Gymnasium.
Leaving the Meihu Lake, the holy place of cutting, Zhejiang seems to have walked a long path, and finally glimpsed a different light in front of it. In 2017, Zhejiang put the young marshal Liu Weiwei on the position of head coach, he thought that he was shallow and shallow, so he asked the teacher Jiang Xingquan to return to Zhejiang, the old coach sat down, Zhejiang boldly put the three newcomers of the 99 class Wang Yibo, Cheng Shuaipeng and Liu Zeyi on the team, thus starting the process of rejuvenation.
The Binjiang District Gymnasium, which began construction in 2014 and took three years, was put into use in October 2017, with a design capacity of 5,000 people and a "white porcelain lid bowl" in the shape of a "white porcelain lid bowl", standing on the south bank of the Qianjiang River and on the banks of the Beitang River. This is also one of the venues of the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, which will be mainly used as a badminton court, after which the Departure of the Zhejiang Men's Basketball Team is also to make way for the transformation of the Asian Games venues.
On November 1, 2017, the Golden Bull returned to its first home stadium in Hangzhou, welcoming the Hangzhou Derby. Since Zhejiang left Hangzhou at home in 2005 and Guangsha entered the home in 2006, in fact, Zhejiang Shuangxiong did not really share the same city, which can be regarded as the first real Hangzhou derby. The two teams fought until extra time, and the young Zhejiang finally lost, swallowing the home debut defeat.
Although that season started again, Zhejiang seemed to still have the characteristics of home points, and Sony-Weems also appeared in the Binjiang District Gymnasium three times in a single season. On February 4, 2018, he played at home to Guangzhou, 18 of 27, scoring 7 three-pointers, setting a personal career scoring record of 54 points, and after moving to Guangdong, he only scored 6 three-points in a game at most, and the highest score was only 40 points.
From Dolby to Weems, Wu Qian has all experienced it completely, and after seeing such a scoring feast, even Wu Qian seems to have a flying gene. On January 27, 2019, at home against Tianjin, Wu Qian scored 10 of 17 three points, scoring a career-high 49 points, which was the second highest score in a single game, second only to Wang Zhelin.
There are many stories at home in Zhejiang, and after scoring, it is a dead end.
With the gradual improvement of the team's strength, Zhejiang opened a new five-five-open kill attribute, on December 12, 2019, the away game was killed by Guangdong's Ren Junfei after Zhu Xuhang's three-point equalizer, on December 27, Marcus DengMeng's home three-point kill visited Shenzhen, on January 14, 2020, the home field was killed by Tongxi Guo Yifei's magical three-point kill...
It is this battle of Tongxi that allows Liu Weiwei to guide the name of "Hum Grass", Zhejiang's five-five kai is very metaphysical, which does not count the previous away defeat by Tongxi, and the early season 1 point win over Jiangsu, 3 points to lose to Beikong, 2 points to win Shandong, and was won by Jeremy Lin's free throws. Under the accumulation of these thrilling moments, Zhejiang gradually entered a better situation, and after the resumption of the game, it became a model for the league's all-Chinese class.
Zhejiang ushered in the harvest season, the third league in the 20-21 season broke the team record record, and the playoffs broke into the final four for the first time, but due to the impact of the epidemic, these record-breaking moments could not stay in the Binjiang District Gymnasium. At a time when the home and away games have not yet confirmed whether they will recover, Zhejiang has decided to leave the Binjiang District Gymnasium and return to Jinhua City with its next stop.
The Jinhua Sports Center Gymnasium will be the next stop in Zhejiang, which was inaugurated at the end of 2012 and designed by the Architectural Design and Research Institute of Zhejiang University and can accommodate 5,987 people. Like the future of the Zhejiang Youth Army, no one knows what will happen at the Jinhua Sports Center, and a new story has just opened its cover, waiting for people to break in and record it.
The main stadium in Zhejiang is always lively, and the jubilation of the youth army will one day converge into victory applause.
