Looking at the world sports world, people who are taller than Yao Ming and heavier than O'Neill are really difficult to find. "Little Giant" Yao Ming is 2.26 meters tall and weighs 140.6 kilograms; "Big Shark" O'Neill is 2.16 meters tall and weighs 147.4 kilograms (325 pounds). However, in the history of Chinese basketball, there is a person who has surpassed Yao Ming and O'Neill in terms of height and weight, this person is from Dongming County, Heze City, Shandong Province, his name is Mu Tiezhu.
Mu Tiezhu is 2.28 meters tall and weighs 160 kilograms, and his height and weight obviously exceed yao ming and O'Neill. Mu Tiezhu, like Yao Ming and O'Neill, has also engaged in basketball, but mu Tiezhu is much older than the two of them in age, and it is obvious that Mu Tiezhu is the predecessor of the sports world of small giants and big sharks.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > met Bole, and Mu Tiezhu shined in the basketball world</h1>
Mu Tiezhu reached a height of 2 meters when he was 16 years old, but he played basketball very late. In 1972, at the age of 23, he joined the basketball team of the Jinan Military Region for formal basketball training. However, Mu Tiezhu's ball skills soared after meeting Bo Le- Yu Bangji.
Yu Bangqi was born in 1927 in Fuling County, Sichuan Province. He is not tall (1.70 m), but he is very athletic, with pure ball control skills and pass assists. The most popular basketball fans are his "jumping up and shooting with both hands". As a player, Yu Bangji won the national championship with the team. After retiring from the army, Yu Bangji continued to work related to basketball, and he became the coach of the Bayi men's basketball team from 1959. From 1977 to 1978, Yu Bangji went to work in the physical engineering brigade of the Wuhan Military Region in Hubei Province due to work transfers. During this period, Yu Bangji accepted the "baggage" that nowhere else was the "baggage",—Mu Tiezhu. Yu Bangji, who was only 1.70 meters tall, stood next to the 2.28-meter disciple and thought a lot, he wanted to do something for the giant's take-off. Yu Bangji believes that height and arm length are the advantages of Mu Tiezhu's basketball, so he began to train his disciple from this aspect, Mu Tiezhu.
According to Yu Bangji, he taught Mu Tiezhu several hands, one is the ability to catch the ball, Mu Tiezhu did not take it down after getting the ball, turned around and shot directly. Another is to train Mu Tiezhu's footsteps, and the last one is to let Mu Tiezhu practice free throws. Yu Bangji's training of Mu Tiezhu was very targeted, and Mu Tiezhu benefited a lot from it. After training with en mentors for a year and a half, Mu Tiezhu's ball skills soared. I have to say that Mu Tiezhu is a piece of jade, and under Yu Bangji's repeated polishing, it emits light.
In 1979, Yu Bangji returned to the Bayi Engineering Brigade, and his proud disciple Mu Tiezhu also followed in his footsteps to the Bayi Team. Since then, Mu Tiezhu has gradually gained a firm foothold in the basketball arena, and then shined and attracted the attention of the world.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > Mu Tiezhu did not participate in the Olympic Games, frankly said that his career was regrettable</h1>
Asian Games champions, Asian Championship champions, National Games champions, these champions Mu Tiezhu have all won. He admitted that he had not participated in the Olympic Games in his career, which was a bit of a pity. Mu Tiezhu retired in 1987 and has a career of more than 10 years, but why did he miss the Olympic Games?
At the 1980 Moscow Olympics, China did not send a delegation to participate due to political reasons. In this way, Mu Tiezhu passed by the Moscow Olympic Games. At the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, Mu Tiezhu was 35 years old. In 1983, Mu Tiezhu won the "five consecutive championships" of the Asian Championship with the team, and the team also received a ticket to the Los Angeles Olympic Games. Due to physical reasons, Ke mu tiezhu could not participate in the Los Angeles Olympic Games with the team. After the founding of new China, the first Olympic Games in which the Chinese delegation participated was the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. Mu Tiezhu could not go with the team to Los Angeles to participate in the Olympic Games due to physical reasons, and his mood at that time was terrible, yes, how eager he was to compete in the Olympic arena!
In the 1984 Olympic Games, the Chinese men's basketball team finally won the 10th place in the absence of the main center Mu Tiezhu. At this Olympic Games, Mu Tiezhu's teammate Wang Libin was the standard-bearer of the Chinese delegation, which made Mu Tiezhu very happy. At this Olympic Games, the Chinese men's basketball team group stage, the first game of the United States men's basketball team, Jordan, Ewing both participated in the competition. The main lineup of the Chinese men's basketball team at that time was center Wang Libin, big forward Liu Jianjian, small forward Kuang Lubin, defender Li Yaguang, point guard Sun Fengwu, and god pitcher Guo Yonglin did not play due to injury at that time. Although the Chinese men's basketball team finally lost the game 49:97 due to its strength at that time, Mu Tiezhu still affirmed the performance of his teammates. If Mu Tiezhu had participated in the Olympic Games with the team that year, the results of the Chinese men's basketball team would definitely be better.
Mu Tiezhu was once known as the "first center in Asia", Yao Ming once said that in his heart, Mu Tiezhu is a real big center, it is he who created a new era of basketball in China. Basketball celebrity Zhang Weiping frankly said that Mu Tiezhu is the best center in the world basketball world, and also the best center in the history of Chinese basketball. For such a good player did not go to the Olympic Games, it is really a bit of a pity! Mu Tiezhu also regrets that he has never played against Jordan in his career, which may be providence to trick people!
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > Mu Tiezhu is not just a person who can play, he is popular outside the court</h1>
Zhang Bin is Mu Tiezhu's teammate in the Jinan Military Region, and he frankly admits that Mu Tiezhu is a very good person. At that time, many people would bring back some household appliances after going abroad to compete. But once the electrical appliances went wrong, everyone was helpless. But Mu Tiezhu is different, when he encounters household appliances that are broken, he carefully disassembles the electrical appliances and draws his own pictures to repair themselves, and his hand makes many people look at him with astonishment.
In the eyes of teammate Li Yulin, Mu Tiezhu is a caring person. In 2000, After his retirement, Mu Tiezhu joined the Sports Foundation, using his influence to raise funds for athletes who have retired or suffered from physical disabilities. Regardless of his own mobility problems, Mu Tiezhu resolutely traveled all over the country to try to raise funds and solve problems for athletes who needed funds! This act of kindness of his has won the praise of many people.
In the eyes of his lover Wang Zhuanhong, Mu Tiezhu was a frugal person. On the day of her and Mu Tiezhu's wedding, Mu Tiezhu spent 70 yuan in the canteen and booked three tables, one table for media people, one table for the Bayi team, and one table for his mother's family. After marriage, Mu Tiezhu was very concerned about his family, and whenever he went out, he was reluctant to buy a dress himself, but for his lover, he was willing to buy clothes. This made Wang Zhuanhong very pleased, she still retained the clothes that her husband sent her! Due to physical reasons, Mu Tiezhu did a little less housework, and Mu Tiezhu always felt sorry for his lover in his heart. Sometimes, he is not good at words, and he will always use a pen to write down his debts to his lover. When Wang Zhuanhong read the words written by Mu Tiezhu with her heart, she would silently leave tears of happiness!
On September 14, 2008, after Mu Tiezhu died of a heart attack, his teammates, friends, and thousands of people from all walks of life came to mourn him. Outside the stadium, Mu Tiezhu is a handsome and intelligent person, a loving and responsible person, and a man who cares for his family and loves his wife. His death has made his relatives miserable, and it is even more difficult for countless fans who like him to accept! In their eyes, he is not only a person who can play, but also a person with both moral integrity and ability!
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > concluding remarks</h1>
In a person's life, who does not die with regrets? Compared with Yao Ming and O'Neal, who are also basketball superstars, Mu Tiezhu's regret is that he has not participated in the Olympic Games. But mu Tiezhu also dominated the Asian Championship with the Chinese men's basketball team for many years, and won the league laurels many times with the Bayi men's basketball team? After all, he has created an era of his own in the history of Chinese basketball! He deserved the title of "Asia's no. 1 center" of that era, his performance on and off the court was exemplary, he was a man worth learning from in this era, wasn't he?
