Today, I accidentally saw such an article on the Internet "Zhang Guowei touched 3.82 meters high!" After he retired from the national team, why didn't he play wild ball for gold?" The article mentioned that Zhang Guowei once challenged to touch the upper edge of the rebound, although it was not successful, but the final height reached 3.82 meters. The author of this article believes that Zhang Guowei's high touch height swept the CBA active players, even comparable to the achievements of NBA stars, if Zhang Guowei can turn to the basketball arena, with his amazing bouncing power, he will become an epic dunkman.
In addition, the author of this article also believes that even if Zhang Guowei can't break through in the professional arena, he can play a good result on the field field, after all, playing on the field field also has a good income. Looking at the whole article, Xiaobian doesn't even know what to say! People don't really think that tall people play basketball must be great, right? It is undeniable that basketball has certain requirements for height, and the higher the height, the more obvious the advantages of athletes. But this does not mean that the higher the height, the more powerful it is to play basketball, and the lower the height, the more dishes it is to play basketball!
NBA player Tini Boggs is only 1.6 meters tall, not even the height of the average of us, but that doesn't affect his play on the court. During his career, Tinnie Boggs was one of the most popular players in Hornets history and one of the most popular players in the NBA league. Bao Xishun, known as "China's first giant", is a staggering 2.361 meters tall, 10 centimeters taller than Yao Ming's height. Even if Bao Xishun's bouncing ability is not very good, and the height of the touch can reach the CBA standard, but have you heard of Bao Xishun?
The height of the athlete and the height of the touch can only be regarded as an advantage, and it does not determine whether the athlete can play basketball well. Basketball not only requires athletes to master various skills skillfully, but also requires athletes to have super confrontational ability. Although basketball is not as good as rugby, it is not something that anyone who wants to play can play. Moreover, the skills mastered by basketball players are not mastered overnight, but through years and years of accumulation. Even if Zhang Guowei now changes to basketball, how long do you think Zhang Guowei will be able to master these skills?
As the saying goes: there is a priority in hearing the Tao, and there is a specialization in the art! It's not realistic to let high jumpers play basketball; it's impossible to let basketball players jump high. If every athlete is involved in every sport, he will not perform well in any sport! Besides, as China's best high jumper, does Zhang Guowei use to play wild ball to make money? Even if Zhang Guowei is no longer a national team athlete, he still has influence, and the cost of various commercial activities and endorsements is enough for him to enjoy life. Do you think Zhang Guowei will play basketball well?
