In the twenty-first century, as long as people mention Chinese basketball, nine of the ten people will definitely think of the representative Chinese for the first time, rushing out of the big man "Yao Ming" in Asia, the best center of the International Basketball Federation, the NBA Champion Show, whose outstanding influence can be regarded as all over the world, and it is also worthy of the four words "resounding throughout the world". But do you know, in fact, in those old days that have been dusted by the years for a long time, the Chinese men's basketball team has also emerged many very good basketball players in history, Such as Shan Tao, Ji Minshang, Battle, Mu Tiezhu and so on.
Among them, of course, there is also the basketball celebrity who even Yao Ming has given a super high evaluation, Wang Zhizhi. For Wang Zhizhi, many senior fans commented on him like this: "delicate technology, gorgeous footsteps", among the CBA members in history, if you use these eight words to describe a star, it must be Wang Zhizhi!
Just like many years ago, in a CCTV5 interview program against Yao Ming, Yao Ming himself faced the media and gave Wang Zhizhi a super high evaluation, and even thought that his ability was actually not as good as Wang Zhizhi's level at his peak. In the show, he said this:
So why does Yao Ming have such a high evaluation of Wang Zhizhi?
Perhaps now mention Wang Zhizhi, the younger audience and fans, there are few people who know about him, at most only know that he is the head coach of the "Bayi Nanchang Team", and this team's perennial record at the bottom of the field also makes today's Wang Zhizhi rarely have the top popularity and popularity of that year, but in the heart of an old fan, he is in the position of the Chinese men's basketball team, absolutely not low.
First of all, during Wang Zhizhi's service, the "Bayi team" led by him can be said to have dominated the CBA championship all year round, in the Chinese professional basketball league, it can be called a figure standing at the top of the pyramid, and during this period, the team also won the honor of "eight champions", Yao Ming was still serving in the Shanghai Oriental Sharks, but because of the existence of Wang Zhizhi and the Bayi team, the shark team was repeatedly cut down, so it created Dazhi and his team, which was absolutely top-notch in Yao Ming's heart. Even a position that is difficult to surpass.
Wang Zhizhi is in the position of center and big forward in the team, the offensive technology and its skill, gorgeous footsteps, soft feel, very good at using gorgeous fake action, shaking the opponent's defense, getting enough space to layup, always make the opponent helpless, invincible. It is also because of Wang Zhizhi's delicate technique and gorgeous action skills that he was selected by the Dallas Mavericks early in the 1999 NBA Draft, becoming the first player in Asia to land in the NBA, which shows how powerful and good his ability is at his peak!
However, such a basketball superstar who was extremely dazzling in the early stages of his sports career, the monumental figure of the Chinese men's basketball team, was quite controversial in the second half of his career. It is precisely because of his determination and choice to pursue the dream of the NBA, he and the Chinese national basketball team at that time can be said to have some unpleasant quarrels, and even after returning to the national team in 2002, he was expelled from the team again after just 6 months and returned to the NBA, but then his basketball career gradually moved to a low point.
He signed a three-year contract with the Los Angeles Clippers in 2003, but was dropped by the Clippers the following year, and in December of the same year, he signed to the Miami Heat as a free agent, but he was also abandoned just over a year later. During the period, the Chinese national team contacted him many times to call, hoping that he could consider returning to China, but Wang Zhizhi, who was unwilling to give up his NBA dream, hesitated and was difficult to make up his mind, so until the end, his career gradually ended in this kind of controversy.
Wang Zhizhi, who returned to life, began coaching the Bayi Nanchang team in 2018, and finally returned to his "mother's family", but who ever thought that when everything calmed down, his marriage went wrong again. DaZhi and his first wife met in Beijing in 2000, her name is Song Yang, three years older than Wang Zhizhi, the two soon met and entered the palace of marriage, and had a very well-behaved and lovely son Wang Xilin, Song Yang, as The first wife of Dazhi, can be regarded as accompanying him through the most difficult period of his entire athlete's career, but in the end he may not be able to enjoy the same happiness with people who are willing to suffer, and his marriage with Song Yang is broken.
After the divorce, in 2019, Dazhi met Zhou Lei, a beautiful host of Guangxi Satellite TV, who was a full 14 years younger than himself, and finally, the two held a grand wedding in Chengdu. I thought that the basketball celebrity of the past was now able to return to family and life and enjoy ordinary love and marriage to the fullest, but not long ago, Zhou Lei posted a fantasy dynamic on social platforms, but many people thought of whether Dazhi once faced the breakdown of marriage. Its dynamics say: "Have the affection that does not count gains and losses when you leave, and leave without regret when you leave." ”
There are talented people in the jiangshan generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years. Today, the era that belongs to Wang Zhizhi has come to an end, and we, the old fans, still stubbornly look for some clues, want to see the outstanding idols in the past, after the bleak life of the career, just like trying to catch a trace of dust in the endless flow of time and continuous progress.
It is true that Wang Zhizhi's athlete life is full of ups and downs, whether it is the style and dazzling at the beginning of his career, whether it is the hesitation and hesitation in the later stage of his career, whether it is the confusion and controversy in marriage, whether he treats love as sincerely and loyally as he was when he first saw it... He walked through the memories of our youth, left traces in history, and was engraved in the hearts of a generation, perhaps this is enough, and finally wished him happiness!
