On June 27, Beijing time, the Chinese men's basketball team recently successfully completed the task of the Asian Preliminary Round and entered the main game of the Asian Cup with 4 wins and 4 wins. But next, the Chinese men's basketball team will usher in a "hellish" test. At the beginning of next month, the Chinese men's basketball team will play against the Canadian men's basketball team and the Greek men's basketball team in the group stage of the Tokyo Olympic Games. The Canadian men's basketball team brings together NBA stars such as Wiggins, Barrett, and Dorte, and the Greek men's basketball team is currently at the forefront of the world rankings. In this context, someone needs to stand up and lead the Chinese men's basketball team to turn the tide and become a "hero of foreign wars", just like Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, Hu Weidong and other predecessors.
When it comes to "foreign war heroes", Hu Weidong, who is known as "China Jordan", is definitely one of the best. In the 1990s, the Chinese men's basketball team won consecutive Asian Games gold medals and Asian Championship championships to dominate Asian basketball, and Hu Weidong was a core member of them. In the 1994 World Championships and the 1996 Olympic Games, the Chinese men's basketball team was able to break into the top eight in history, and Hu Weidong was also the most "contributed". It can even be said that Hu Weidong is a player born for big scenes, because he can always turn the tide in key games.
Among them, in the final of the men's basketball team at the 1994 Asian Games, the Chinese men's basketball team ushered in the "old enemy" Korean men's basketball team. At that time, Hu Weidong won 33 points, becoming the number one contributor to the Chinese men's basketball team's victory over the South Korean men's basketball team to win the gold medal at the Asian Games. At the 1994 World Championships, Hu Weidong averaged 15.1 points per game to become the team's top scorer. During the 1994 World Championships, Hu Weidong scored 31 points on 9-of-14 shooting from the Chinese men's basketball team against the Croatian men's basketball team. In the number of games of the Chinese men's basketball team that defeated the Brazilian men's basketball team through overtime, Hu Weidong won 27 points in 10 of the 10 penalties in the overtime game to help the team narrowly defeat the Brazilian men's basketball team, laying the foundation for the final group to qualify for the historic promotion to the quarterfinals of the World Championships.
By the 1996 Olympic Games, the Chinese men's basketball team was in the same group as the United States men's basketball team, the Argentine men's basketball team, the Angolan men's basketball team, and the Lithuanian men's basketball team. During the group stage, the Chinese men's basketball team laid the foundation for the final group stage after beating the Argentine men's basketball team. In the Sino-Argentine war, Hu Weidong single-handedly won 22 points and became the number one contributor to the team's victory. It can be said that the Chinese men's basketball team can reach the top eight of the Olympic Games in history, and Hu Weidong is absolutely indispensable.
It is worth mentioning that Hu Weidong won the regular season MVP in the first two seasons of the CBA League. To this day, whether Wu Qian, MVP of the Xinke CBA League regular season, can become a "foreign war hero" like his predecessor Hu Weidong in the Olympic Games, is definitely worth looking forward to.
