If someone did a questionnaire about "which player do you hate the most in the CBA", there might be a lot of names on this list, some familiar to fans, some unloved, some super high-level, some water dispenser administrators... However, there is one person who will never be on the list - Han Dejun.
I've always felt that Korea is to Liaoning what Duncan is to Spurs. They are all "labor models" on the pitch, conscientious, hard work, no negative news in their careers; they have helped the team win the league championship, and they have not left when the team is at a low point; they have led groups of young players to grow up for several years, and they have also dedicated their best youth to the team, which is a model of one person and one city (although Daehan has not retired, but it is likely that he will not leave Liaoning).
The 14th National Games has just come to an end, the Liaoning team is all over the army, united as one, in the finals of Guangdong, to make up for the regrets in the league, defending the national games champion. But at the same time, Liaoning fans have to admit one thing, Dahan is old.
Born in 1987, Han Dejun has been playing for Liaoning for 14 years and is about to start his 15th season. His mobility was less agile; his explosiveness was less rapid; and he could no longer dominate the three-second zone like a human tank.
Born in a village in Lushun, Dalian, Liaoning Province, Han Dejun was a child with poor economic conditions and his parents were farmers. In order for him to practice, the family spent all their savings and did not even have a decent piece of furniture. Even his sister, who was already married, had to save herself and use the money she had saved to help her younger brother. The hope of the whole family to turn over was pinned on Han Dejun.
At the age of 16, just as the Liaoning men's basketball youth team was selecting seedlings, Han Dejun, who was outstanding in height, was selected, but he ultimately failed to stay in the team. Depressed, Han Dejun bid farewell to the professional team and chose to go to Wuhan University of Technology, playing basketball while going to college. From 2005 to 2007, Han Dejun played in the CUBA League three times as a player of Wuhan University of Technology, contributing 15.8 points and 15 rebounds per game, and he also averaged 1.8 blocks per game, known as the first center of the CUBA.
By chance, the CCTV Sports Channel broadcast the wuhan university of technology live. Han Zhaoshan, an investor in the Liaoning men's basketball team, happened to see Han Dejun playing and was very fond of this big fat man who went out of Liaoning. At that time, the Liaoning men's basketball team lacked people in the inner line, and Han Zhaoshan "specially recruited" Han Dejun to the team. In this way, Han Dejun, who has not experienced in the youth team, stepped directly from the university into the door of the CBA.
In the 2007-08 season, Han Dejun entered the Liaoning Panpan First Team as a center and began his CBA career for more than ten years. At the same time, Han Dejun also became the first CUBA player to participate in the professional league before graduation. In the rookie season, Han Dejun averaged 1.3 points and 2.6 rebounds per game.
At that time, Han Dejun's performance was not recognized by Guo Shiqiang, but Han Dejun was happy, and the boss of the team that year, Zhang Qingpeng, supported the reduction of foreign aid and asked han Dejun to be given a chance, for which Zhang Qingpeng and Guo Shiqiang had a big disagreement, which also laid the groundwork for Zhang Qingpeng's departure in the future.
Han Dejun did not disappoint Big Brother, and after joining the alliance, he made progress visible to the naked eye every year, step by step, and grew into one of the best internal lines in China.
In the 2008-09 season, Han Dejun doubled his appearances from 16 times last season to 32, averaging 4 points and 2.7 rebounds in 9.8 minutes of playing time.
In the 2009-10 season, Han Dejun averaged only 15 minutes per game, but he could contribute 8 points and 5 rebounds, shooting 60% from the field, and his offensive efficiency was very efficient. After three years of experience, Han Dejun has grown significantly and is already an excellent center with high efficiency and good consciousness.
In the 2010-11 season, Han Dejun played 32 regular season games, averaging 11.7 points and 5.77 rebounds per game.
In the 2011-12 season, Han Dejun became the starting center of the Liaoning team, averaging 12.8 points and 8.5 rebounds per game. On December 23 of that season, Han Dejun scored 38 points against Shanxi, setting a career record. Immediately after January 12, Han Dejun cut down 30 points and 20 rebounds of warcraft-level data, and 20 rebounds was also Han Dejun's new career high at that time.
On the 2012 CBA All-Star Weekend, Han Dejun replaced Battle of the Xinjiang team who withdrew from the game for "personal reasons" and was selected for the Northern Star Team for the first time as a starter. This is a season in which Han Dejun has fully erupted. It was also a turning point in his career.
In the 2012-13 season, Han Dejun averaged 11.1 points, 6.9 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game. But in a game between Liaoning and Foshan, Han Dejun was injured during a layup. After the game, he underwent an MRI examination and finally determined that the right arm was fractured, and the Liaoning team confirmed that Han Dejun was reimbursed for the season.
On the 2013 CBA All-Star Weekend, Han Dejun was selected for the all-Star starting lineup for the first time in his career, but could not appear on the All-Star game due to injury. The Liaoning team, which lacked Han Dejun, was eliminated by Xinjiang in the first round of the playoffs with a score of 2-3.
In the 2013-14 season, Han Dejun averaged 14.9 points and 8.3 rebounds per game. Unfortunately, the young Dahan did not play well in the fourth game of the first round of the playoffs against Xinjiang, scoring only 3 points in the game, and was suppressed by the data of veteran Tang Zhengdong with 18 points and 6 rebounds, and the team also lost the entire series.
In the 2014-15 season, with the addition of Hudson and the increasingly tacit cooperation of Han Dejun, Guo Allen, He Tianju and others, liaoning team achieved a record of 33 wins and 5 losses in the regular season this season, and won the title of "King of Reversals" with its strong performance of repeated reversals in the final quarter. Han Dejun, who has missed most of the games due to injury for two consecutive seasons, can get 14.6 points and 7.6 rebounds per game this season, reaching a career high in efficiency and becoming the representative of the traditional center of the league.
In the playoffs, the Liaoning team has been passing the barrier and meeting with the Beijing team in the CBA finals. In the final moments of Game 4 of the Finals, Han Dejun only made two free throws and one shot when the team was two points behind, and failed to help the team win the opponent. In the sixth game, although Han Dejun cut 12 points and 7 rebounds, he was unable to return to the sky. Liaoning eventually lost 98-106 at home to Beijing, with an aggregate score of 2:4, and was second in the 5th time.
In the 16th season, The Korean contract expired, many teams extended an olive branch to Han Dejun, and even the rich and powerful teams offered Han Dejun tens of millions of annual salaries, but in the end, Han Dejun still chose to stay. After the renewal of the contract, what Daehan said is still true, I personally believe that money is indeed important, but when money is enough for a person, it is not necessary to pursue more." I can't say how others choose, after all, everyone's requirements are different, but for my current situation, the money I earn is enough at home, then it is enough. Earlier, in 2011, Dahan also said the truth after rejecting the Beijing team, "I (did not go to the Beijing team) do not feel regretful, because I was born in Liaoning and grew up in Liaoning, and it is my duty to contribute to Liaoning." ”
Unfortunately, that season, Liaoning finally lost to the Beichuan Army, and once again won the second place in the league, and the ridicule of the millennium old man also became more and more high.
In the 2017-18 season, Daehan finally realized his dream, he and his teammates, lifted the first championship trophy in the history of the Liaoning basketball team, throughout the season, Han Dejun averaged 14.7 points and 8.9 rebounds per game, in the semi-finals and finals, his height became the magic weapon for Liaoning to defeat the enemy. Before that season, Liaoning also won the National Games championship, realizing the long-cherished wishes of several generations of Liaoning basketball people.
Remember that there was only 1 minute left before the end of the final match of the finals, Han Dejun cut in from the middle road, raised one arm to complete the split, and the fully-filled Liaoning Gymnasium completely boiled. Returning to the new home stadium, the Liaoning Flying Leopards used their lives to sweep Zhejiang Guangsha 4-0.
As early as before the game, the venue staff had already arranged the cultural shirts for the fans in advance on the seats of the VIP seats and the first-class area of the grandstand, with two big words written on them, "Fulfill the Dream". Indeed, for the 43 million Liaoning people, for the team that has been painstakingly managed for two decades, this championship is too late. In 1997, 1998, 99, 08, 15 and 16, Liaoning reached the finals six times, but only achieved a dismal record of 4 wins and 20 losses. Nowadays, the Liaoning team has been humiliated, swept the new face Guangsha team in the finals, hung a face of champions, and finally stood on the commanding heights of the league, which can be said to be a reward for Liaoning basketball's late arrival.
In the past two years, the Liaoning-Cantonese war has been played in the finals continuously, but Liaoning has ended in the runner-up, and Dahan has also become the player who has been questioned the most, especially in the recent season.
In the 2020-2021 season, once again in the CBA Finals, he lost to Guangdong in the life and death battle, which was another bitter experience for Liaoning, especially for the team captain Han Dejun. Because the performance on the offensive end is not outstanding (averaging 10 points and 10 rebounds per game in the Finals), Daehan was criticized after the Finals, and even more directly attacked Daehan.
It's all because the fans are too harsh on Daehan. Faced with the Guangdong team, which lacked Yi Jianlian and declined in internal strength, irrational fans took it for granted that Daehan must play a dominant performance, and when Daehan played less than ideally under the bag and consumption of the Guangdong team, these fans criticized and attacked Dahan.
What is less known is that Han Dejun has been plagued by injuries all season, but he is tough as he never took the initiative to reveal. It was not until the training camp of the national team in February that head coach Du Feng explained why Han Dejun was the captain that Han Dejun's right elbow was fractured twice in a row, but he always insisted on playing with injuries. Although doctors recommended surgery, he did not. Since then, Daehan has been injured until the finals. On the other hand, Daehan played 44 minutes and 40 minutes respectively in the second and third games of the finals, and as a 123-kilogram center, the 34-year-old Daehan even made a rare gesture in the game for Yang Ming to replace him because of the consumption. Injuries, age, weight, attrition... When these factors are combined, daehan, who is already a full-fledged veteran, is also difficult to recover in the interval of only one day, which is the real reason for his life and death in the finals.
However, such a person who pays everything for the Liaoning team, but in the late stage of his career encountered outside criticism, it is really chilling, as a 34-year-old veteran, in recent years after the obvious increase in injuries, Dahan can continue to be independent for the Liaoning team's internal line Time is more limited. At this time, fans should cherish Han Dejun's career more and treat the veteran well.
However, such an interior giant that can kill all four parties in the CBA League has not been able to participate in the national team for many years, although fans have been upset about Daehan, but neither Gong Luming nor Yunas seems to have much interest in Han Dejun. Whenever the national team game does not have an advantage on the inside line, more people will stand up and question why Han Dejun is not used. Finally, before the offseason national team training today, Du Feng called Han Dejun to the national blue team, which was the first time that the super center really represented the national team, and the fans were also looking forward to Daehan's performance.
After several warm-up matches, Han Dejun's performance was decent, but when it came to the Stankovic Cup, Han Dejun's performance disappointed the fans. The two games in which Han Dejun participated in the team lost, Daehan himself had 4 fouls and 5 mistakes in every game, and his weakness of slow movement was completely captured by the opponent, which can be said to be pinched to death.
In the CBA League, most of the team's center does not have the ability to shoot far, Han Dejun can always stay in the inside, but when it comes to the international arena, it is completely different, at the moment the world is blowing a small ball whirlwind, most of the inside players have the ability to flexible, long-range shooting, if Han does not defend out, the opponent directly shoots. If the defense goes out, the opponent accelerates and breaks through, and Dahan can't keep up with the pace, and can only lose fouls. On the offensive end, as long as Han Dejun takes the ball, the opponent will be wrapped up, so Han Dejun's number of mistakes is much higher than that of the league.
Han Dejun's trip to the national team was not smooth, his advantages were not played at all, but the disadvantages were infinitely magnified. Nowadays, the player's sense of position is becoming more and more blurred, and it will be difficult for Han Dejun, a big center with clear advantages and disadvantages, to gain a foothold in the international arena. If there is no accident, Han Dejun's chances of entering the national team again are very slim.
But this does not affect Han Dejun's success as a professional player. So far, The total number of Rebounds in Dahan is 4281, surpassing Li Xiaoxu's 4276, occupying the fourth place in the CBA's historical rebounding list, and also becoming the rebounding king in Liaoning's team history.
The total number of career blocks reached 396, surpassing Samaki (393) to rise to 14th place in the CBA's all-time block list. These achievements are beyond the generations in a short period of time, and they are all achievements created by Han's perseverance and sweat year after year, which are glorious, great, and the pride of Chinese basketball.
Not only on the pitch, but also in life, Daehan is also a good man with responsibility and responsibility. Although he and his wife had already received a marriage license and had a baby in 2014, they had not held a wedding for a long time, and their hearts had always been indebted.
During the 2013 National Games, Liaoning was defeated by Guangdong and failed to win the championship as desired, and After the game, Han Dejun was interviewed by reporters and said, "I have not been able to help Liaoning basketball win the championship and get married, then I am sorry for Liaoning basketball fans!" ”
In the season when the 17/18 Liaoning basket won the championship, Han Dejun was already very excited to start planning a wedding with his wife, but he was helpless to be selected for the national men's basketball team and needed to fight for the country. Han Dejun, who believes that the interests of the country are above all else, has devoted himself to the national team game and missed the best time to make up for his wife's wedding, but his wife still supports his cause as always in any complaints about Han Dejun's approach! In 2019, Han Dejun was not selected for the national team due to his recovery period from injury, so the wedding he had already planned was finally held.
In 2018, when the Chinese men's basketball team held a warm-up match with Ukraine, due to the fierce confrontation between the two sides during the game, it almost caused a conflict in the third quarter, and at the critical moment, Dahan Chong protected his teammates in the front, and staged a famous scene of "Jun" Dangguan and Wanfu.
In the 19-20 season, in the 29th round of the regular season, Dahan pulled each other's arms when he and Xinjiang foreign aid Stokes pulled each other's arms, causing a conflict. Afterwards, Daehan did reason above emotion in time, and reached out to the other party three times to show kindness, although it was ignored, but it was enough to see that Daehan did not count sub-sections and followed the excellent character of the second in the game.
Attentive viewers may find that Daehan is also one of the few players in the league who bows to the audience every time he goes off the court, and the so-called details are seen in character, probably so.
Daehan's popularity in the industry is also quite good, and his honest and honest personality and conscientious attitude make Daehan harvest full of friendship.
This is Han Dejun, dedicated, diligent, consistent, recognized by the majority of fans, praised by coaches and players. If one day, our CBA also establishes the Hall of Fame, I believe that even if the alliance is full of stars, there will be a seat in Korea.
