In 2008, the Platinum Generation represented the highest technical level of basketball in China, which was beyond the reach of future basketball players. In 2008, the Platinum Generation gathered a group of the most talented people in China, including Yao Ming, who entered the Houston Rockets as the No.1 scholar in 2002, Wang, who was selected by the Dallas Mavericks in the seventh place in the second round, Yi Jianlian, who was selected by the Milwaukee Bucks in the sixth place in the first round in 2007, and Wang, who scored a three-point winner in the 2006 World Championships .. There are too many memories and moments about this team. Today, the hero of our story belongs to Zhu, who won eight CBA titles for Guangdong team, and is the first Mr. Wan in CBA league, known as "three-point rain".
Zhu, born in Liuzhou, Guangxi in June, 1983, is 2 meters tall and works as a small forward. Because my father is a basketball enthusiast, he often participates in amateur basketball games with his father since he was a child. Due to the influence from childhood, Zhu fell in love with basketball. Zhu has shown good height and athletic talent since he was a child. His father's education and training made him famous in the basketball field. 1September, 1995, Zhu, 12 years old, was excavated by Su, the coach of Guangxi Autonomous Region Sports School, focusing on training and honing his physical fitness and basic skills, which enabled Zhu to grow rapidly.
In 1998, Zhu was selected for the Guangxi men's basketball team and played well. In order to seek greater development, Zhu joined Guangdong Hongyuan Youth Team with the help of Su and Liuzhou Sports Commission, and was selected as the National Youth Team on 12 in the same year. 1999 became the official player of Guangdong Hongyuan, and the magic career officially began.
Zhu, who just entered the CBA league, didn't get much attention. 1999-00 season, Zhu basically spent his time on the bench, averaging 2. 1 points 1.2 rebounds 0. 1 assists. These data seem to say that this young man can't adapt to the CBA league. Zhu, who just entered the CBA league, didn't throw a good three-pointer In his rookie season, his three-point shooting percentage was zero. Even in his second season in CBA, Zhu averaged 14.3 points per game, but his three-point percentage was only 27. 1%. It can be said that Zhu couldn't throw a three-pointer at first, but after hard training, his three-pointer skill package was developed, which was quite enlightening. Look at NBA point guard Simmons. Shooting has always been criticized by everyone. Although shooting training is also carried out every offseason, the effect is not significant.
In the 200 1-02 season, Zhu's talent was released, and his data began to soar, averaging 23.8 points and 6.7 rebounds. He hit nine 3-pointers against Liaoning team in a single game, creating a personal single-game record.
In the 2003-04 season, Zhu and teammate Du Feng helped Guangdong win the first CBA league championship in history, which opened the legend of seven championships in eight years in Guangdong. If Wang hadn't come back from the NBA in 2007 to lead Bayi team to win the championship, Guangdong team would have started the road of eight consecutive championships. In the 2004-05 season, in the final G5, Guangdong even fell behind FMVP by 16 in the fourth quarter of the deciding game. Thanks to Zhu's three-point rain, he scored 15 points in a single quarter, helping the Guangdong team complete the reversal of 16 points in the fourth quarter, averaging 26.4 points and 3.8 rebounds, and scoring 65,438 points in the final.
How important is Zhu to China men's basketball team? At that time, the fans commented: "It all depends on Zhu playing hard and throwing hard." In the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, facing the last World Championship champion Serbia and Montenegro, he scored 6 points at the end of the game at the age of 2 1, which provided strong firepower support for China and helped China reverse Serbia and Montenegro and reach the quarterfinals of the Olympic Games again. In the 2006 World Championships, the whole world only knew that Wang scored three points to win, but it was because of Zhu Gao's difficult drift of three points that China reduced the difference to 1, and the classic scene of Wang Zhisheng appeared. In 2008, at the Beijing Olympic Games, Zhu showed the world what is the first small forward in Asia. In the game against the United States, facing the defense of James and Kobe, he was strong by three points and defended James. Although his strength is not as good as James's, Zhu handled his temperament well, and the confrontation may be correct. You should know how self-disciplined James is. James would have to take it with a grain of salt if he knew that the players defending him were extremely self-disciplined every day. In the Spanish game, I played better. I hit five three-pointers, and it rained in Beijing, in front of China people and basketball fans all over the world!
However, such an excellent player has done a lot of things criticized by fans. After Yao Ming withdrew from the national team, the China men's basketball team was defeated by the Iranians in the 2009 Asian Championship, which created many humiliating records. It should have been regret, unwillingness and self-blame, but I didn't expect Zhu, Du Feng and Sun Yue's expressions were not disappointment and loneliness, but snickering, which had a very bad influence.
Of course, basketball players have their own temper, and Zhu is not surprised. Not every player has the good temper of Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhi Zhi. 201012 In the third warm-up match between the China men's basketball team and the Brazilian men's basketball team, the Brazilian players' actions were too big. After Yao Ming, China's performance in the world series was not ideal, and it happened that Brazilian players always paid more attention to "physical contact", which angered the team's eldest brother Zhu. Of course, fighting is not the right behavior. After all, in the arena, you have to rely on strength to speak, and fighting can't solve the problem.
Zhu is not a self-disciplined player. Some netizens posted pictures of Zhu drinking, smoking and eating junk food during training, which caused quite a controversy in that year. However, even such an undisciplined player has maintained a very high attendance rate. He won MVP in CBA regular season twice, FMVP in finals four times and All-Star in CBA 13 times in his career, which helped China enter the quarterfinals of the Olympic Games twice, won the Asian Championship three times and won the Asian Games twice. Moreover, he has repeatedly played as an indispensable main player in the Guangdong men's basketball team and even in China. Competitive sports, strength first. Although Zhu does not advocate it, it is an indisputable fact that people have power.
On 20 17, Zhu announced his retirement in Weibo, and said that he would continue to devote himself to his beloved career as the general manager of Guangdong team. It can be said that his identity conversion has been very successful so far. Guangdong team has won the CBA Finals for three consecutive years, and this year it is launching an impact on four consecutive championships. The team has also trained a large number of outstanding players, such as Hu, Jeff, etc., which can be described as winners in life and won prizes with soft hands.
Now, all members of the 08 Golden Generation except Yi Jianlian have retired, but they are still helping the China men's basketball team to advance in their respective fields. I believe that in the near future, the China men's basketball team will definitely make a comeback. I believe that this cannot be separated from the contributions made by the predecessors to the China men's basketball team. Let's look forward to it!
