The Chinese men's basketball team is definitely the leader of Asian basketball now, from many years ago to now has maintained the top level of strength, when South Korea came out of a center Heshengzhen threatened to explode Yao Ming, the result was Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue four people successively bullied, since then never said to beat the Chinese men's basketball team, in addition to Hesheng Town, there is a player threatened to defeat the Chinese men's basketball team within three years, he was also an NBA player, he is the Japanese basketball player Tian Wo Yongtai, It is another victim of the NBA in order to open up the Asian market.
With the huge market impact brought by Yao Ming, the NBA knew that the Asian market potential was much greater than that of Europe and the United States, so it began to pay a lot of attention to Asian players. Tian Wo Yongtai is the first player in Japan to be selected for the NBA, when he was hyped by the Japanese media as the "first guard in Asia", the Mavericks also took the initiative to issue an invitation to him, and many Japanese sports media placed high hopes on him, saying that Tian Wo Yongtai will break out of the NBA, not to mention the thigh, at least the starting level.
However, Tian Wo Yongtai did not go to the Mavericks, but went to the Nuggets, the media have said that the Nuggets are discerning and talented, but just before the start of the regular season, Tian Wo Yongtai, who played a mess in the training game, was expelled... Thanks to his agent's efforts, the Suns signed the Nuggets outrunner and made his first substitution appearance in November 2004. Unexpectedly, Tian Woyongtai, who debuted in the NBA, performed exceptionally well, scoring 7 points in 8 minutes, running ability and scoring ability are good, and he is thin and small, and he has the style of Sun star Nash.
However, at that time, the Sun had a Nash in the middle of the day, and did not need a weakened version of Nash to occupy the position of his own members, so after being a substitute for three games, Tian Wo Yongtai was expelled from the Suns, and Tian Wo Yongtai, who was continuously hit by reality, completely ended his NBA career. It was this year, when Tian Wo Yongtai was interviewed about what ideals he had, he said: "I hope to beat the Chinese men's basketball team in three years!" After 2004, there are too many excellent basketball players in China, the defender forward does not say, just a center position, the Japanese team has no way, four or six open is difficult, let alone defeated.
Obviously, Tian Wo Yongtai is just a pawn in the NBA to open the Asian market, and he is bragged about by the media to be a little inflated, so he will be hit in the NBA, but Tian Wo Yongtai as a point guard personal strength is still good, if placed in the CBA, the start can not be said, but every game has the opportunity to play This is certainly no problem, now he is still playing in Japan, has changed from a first-line player to a third-tier player, but I don't know if he remembers the dream of that year.
