The Great Sage Finally Greets the Curtain Half a life and is still a teenager
On the closing night of the 2020-2021 regular season, the Beijing Control men's basketball team played against the Qingdao men's basketball team. After the game, Sun Yue gathered his teammates as usual, and everyone put their hands together and shouted "Come on! ”。 He then turned and bowed and waved to the audience in the stands. When facing the fans in the stands shouting their names, expecting to be able to play for another year, Sun Yue's eyes stared into the distance under the spotlight, and he could not look back for a long time. Then he slowly lowered his head, slowly wiped the sweat from his face, and thought about everything on the field just now.
In such a game, the data can no longer reflect the value of the great sage in the game, and the strength of not accepting the old and not accepting the loss made everyone present shocked. For two seasons, he poured all his money into the North Control men's basketball team. The final battle of the 2020-2021 season has also become the curtain call of the Great Sage.
Ups and downs
Half a life
In 2007, he was selected by the NBA with the 40th pick in the second round of the NBA Draft, becoming the fifth Chinese player to land in the NBA after Wang Zhizhi, Battle, Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, and the first Player in China to enter the NBA as a defender; in 2008, he formed the Chinese men's basketball team "Dream Team" with Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Wang Zhizhi and others, and when playing against the United States, howard the big hat, fiercely fought Spain, defeated Angola, beat Germany by 4 points, and fought basketball team Greece. Together with their teammates, they brought the Chinese men's basketball team to the world's top eight, and the Olympic memory of that year became the moment when many Chinese basketball fans really knew Sun Yue. After returning to the CBA, he used his inexplicable performance again and again to bring too much passion and emotion to countless Beijing fans...
However, the gathering and dispersion eventually occurs. Sun Yue's career, at the age of 35, came to an end.
After ups and downs, half a life of horseback. From Beijing Aoshin to the Chinese national team, from the NBA to the CBA, from the two-year sinking to joining the Beijing Control men's basketball team, Sun Yue's career has ups and downs, but it is legendary enough. As one of the most representative top defenders in the Chinese basketball world, as one of the few people in China who have fought in the NBA and the CBA and won the championship, Sun Yue will perfectly combine excellent physical talent and top basketball IQ, and the comprehensive skills on the field, the flowing style, the calm personality, the sharp projection, and the domineering cover have left countless precious memories for Chinese fans.
In the two seasons that he has traveled side by side with Beijing Control, he has also left too many memories for everyone.
On August 6, 2019, the rebuilt Beikong Basketball Club handed Sun Yue a contract, providing him with a new stage to show himself. Sun Yue directly signed his name on this contract, regrouped, and put on the battlefield. The "Great Sage" knew that the opportunity to prove himself had come, and the fiery flame inside him was rekindled. The previous nearly two years of sinking did not make Sun Yue retreat. His enthusiasm has become the best booster for his career to set sail again.
Joining the North Control Club has become the starting point for Sun Yue to start again. The drama of "The Return of the Great Sage" has also become a topic of conversation among countless Chinese fans.
On November 2, 2019, Sun Yue ushered in his "debut" in the opening game of the new season of the Beijing Point men's basketball team against the Shenzhen men's basketball team, which is 986 days after his last appearance in the official game.
However, nearly 1,000 days of waiting, the years did not leave much mark on the veteran. In that game, Sun Yue not only played stably on the defensive end, but also repeatedly gave violent buckles on the offensive end, and the outside line was three-point and one hundred steps through Yang. In the fourth quarter, when the Shenzhen team launched a counterattack, Sun Yue bravely rushed into the basket, used his body to fight against the top defenders, pulled out the back jump shot, and hit the winning goal steadily! The "Big Saint" played 31 minutes, with 13 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, helping the team win the first win of the season 108:103.
This regular season debut became the epitome of Sun Yue's excellent performance throughout the season. The story of the "Return of the Great Sage" also officially kicked off from this day.
In the following game, Sun Yue became more and more courageous, and repeatedly domineering two-handed dunks and chased the cover, bringing long-lost passion and energy to everyone. He proved to the world that he still had oil in his tank, and although he could not fly as far as he did when he was young, he could still help the team win one victory after another in his own way.
On August 1, 2020, the CBA's 2019-20 playoffs officially began, and the North Control team faced the league's recognized "giant killer" Jilin team in the first round. This is the first time in the history of the Beijing Control men's basketball team to enter the playoffs, and it is also the stage where Sun Yue has re-entered the playoffs after 1623 days.
After the start of the game, throughout the first half, the joint defense tactics of the Jilin team have been firmly suppressing the North Control Team, and the shooting rate is not ideal. But at this time, Sun Yue stood up. He repeatedly forced opponents to change defensive strategies with three-pointers on 5-of-9 shooting. In the second half, Sun Yue's Defensive Team's Jilin team attacked the arrow Jiang Yuxing and scored only 8 points. Before the final game, the Jilin team's killer goal was missed, Sun Yue nodded the rebound, destroyed the opponent's opportunity to make up the basket, and led the team to defeat the Jilin men's basketball team 108-106 and advance to the second round of the playoffs.
In the whole game, Sun Yue cut down 18 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 1 block of the all-around data. At that time, the 34-year-old veteran only rested for 5 minutes and 01 seconds.
The old man talked about juvenile madness, and Sun Yue almost ended the game on his own. He told us with his actions that he was still a big player.
In the 2019-20 season, Sun Yue started 42 games, averaged 36.3 minutes per game, scored 12.2 points, 3.6 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.1 blocks, and was re-selected to the CBA All-Star Team, helping the team reach the playoffs for the first time in team history. He proved to everyone with an excellent answer sheet that he could still stand on the pitch and sway the situation of the game, driving the young players to burst out with amazing energy at the same time.
In the 2020-21 season, Sun Yue, who was plagued by injuries, still played 31 games for The North Control team. Averaging 4.3 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.9 blocks per game is not as impressive as last season, but his huge contributions on the defensive end and the attributes of the team's soul still inspire every member of the Club. 50 blocks in a single season is evenly matching his season block record.
On March 9, 2021, the Beijing Point men's basketball team ushered in the second showdown with Beijing Shougang team that season. After experiencing the first defeat in the game, the North Control men's basketball team regrouped, and the whole team sacrificed super morale and vowed to win back a city. After the game began, the two teams directly entered a fierce hand-to-hand battle, and throughout the first half, the North Control men's basketball team, although it was leading, could not open the point difference. Shougang's "compression" defense has always made the North Control men's basketball team slightly uncomfortable on the offensive end.
After the start of the third quarter, Zhang Fan and others scored consecutive points, and the score came to 52-44. At this time, Sun Yue, who was standing outside the three-point line, suddenly started with the ball in his left hand, and after passing two people in a row, he took off with a powerful left hand and smashed into the basket! Pull the point difference directly to 10 points! The teammates on the bench all raised their arms and roared into the air! With this dunk, the great saint dream returned to the peak, and the morale of the North Control men's basketball team was directly ignited. In the end, the North Control team won the game steadily, an incomparably difficult and hard battle, which was firmly won by us.
That buckle that is enough to pass down the generations has become the strongest spiritual nitrogen pump in the hearts of each team member, and it is also full of endless emotions.
Not just basketball
Illuminate the whole team
In the Beijing Control Men's Basketball Team, Sun Yue is not only a Member of the North Control Team, he is also an example and benchmark for other young players in the team. On the field, he will become the commander of the team, actively mobilize his teammates to cooperate, and take the lead in implementing the established tactics given to the team by the old horse. Off the field, he is a good mentor for the players, when the young players behave abnormally or have no concentration, he will show a anxious look off the field, and then shout at his teammates to let everyone concentrate and focus on the game. His many years of experience in the competition is the best beacon for young players on the way to sailing.
Sun Yue's contribution is never limited to the court. Off the field, he will also do his best to give.
On January 22, 2020, with the support of the club, the "In the Name of Love, Walk with 'Yue'" refueling monthly donation project was officially launched. Sun Yue officially cooperated with the China Foundation for Poverty Alleviation as a "Cheering Together Growth Love Ambassador" to support the students of Houshan Primary School in Hezhang County, Guizhou Province, so that the children can regain their dreams and hopes. Before the competition, Sun Yue was also awarded the honorary certificate of "Love Ambassador" by the China Foundation for Poverty Alleviation.
During the epidemic period, Sun Yue joined hands with the China Foundation for Poverty Alleviation again to donate 250,000 pairs of nitrile gloves to medical staff in Hubei Province, and then donated money to the epidemic area with the club. He also wrote a warm card: "In the face of the epidemic, we can not do much, a small amount of effort, but it is well-intentioned." I will follow you, and with my ordinary courage, you are never afraid, knowing that I am never far away. Come on China, come on! "A few simple words, but full of heart-warming energy. This is also just like Sun Yue and his people, who do not say anything in their mouths and look at actions.
To this day, for this old boy who has gathered various honors, after experiencing countless storms and ups and downs, we are not only left with a gorgeous style of ball, but also his easy-going way of dealing with the world. He doesn't have any so-called star shelf, as long as the fans seek group photos or autographs, he tries his best to meet everyone's needs, and sometimes he will tease and chat with the fans. He has been exposed to the spotlight for many years, and he has long been commonplace. Sun Yue is a star, a common man, and the most touching dreamer in the Chinese basketball world.
The true spirit of basketball needs to be passed on from generation to generation of basketball people. And this so-called inheritance is spreading in the North Control men's basketball team. Sun Yue's vision and pattern have long been far beyond basketball itself. Two championship trophies, one CBA All-Star MVP trophy, 2690 career totals, 1108 career rebounds, 904 assists, 9.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.2 steals, 1.2 blocks... Looking at Sun Yue's CBA career, he is good enough.
Behind Sun Yue's dazzling achievements, he is full of his love and dedication to basketball. A 21-year career will come to an end. As the last stop of Dasheng's career, we have accompanied each other through these precious two years, thanking Sun Yue for his outstanding contributions to Beijing Control Basketball, which is also the beautiful fate of Beijing Control Basketball and Sun Yue!
For Sun Yue, no amount of words is enough to describe his brilliant basketball life. Flowers have a reopening day, and no one is any more young. Once, he was the dream-chasing boy who took his dream as a horse and lived up to Shaohua. Today, he is the pride of Chinese basketball.
Even if there are thousands of reluctance, the end of the world is far away, and there will eventually be a time to meet again.
The great sage finally greeted the curtain, said goodbye to the rivers and lakes, and wished to return as a teenager.
Sun Yue! Take care!
