Last summer, Xia Song took men’s basketball coach Harris to play golf at Reignwood Manor. Several reporters accompanying him laughed from ear to ear: “He killed the ball in one shot. The caddy searched for a long time but couldn't find it." The sports news that night broadcast Lao Ha's "travel report". The most classic comment was: "Others put the club in the hole, but he hit the tree with the club. "It turns out that although Harris claims to like playing golf and his eyes will light up when he sees the golf course, his golf skills are not worthy of praise.

This year, the men’s basketball team also went to play golf, but “it’s better to have fun alone than to have fun together.” Head coach Yunus brought the entire team together. After being contacted by deputy team leader Xue Yunfei, at 9:30 yesterday morning, all members of the men's basketball team, except Yao Ming, took the bus to Longxi Golf Resort in Daxing to have a golf addiction. Their skills are even worse than Harris's - many players are touching a club for the first time, and their first experience of golf is inevitably clumsy. The leisurely ease between swings does not belong to these tall men who have imminent tasks in major competitions.

Reducing pressure for the Asian Championships

“The atmosphere in the team is very good at the moment. From now on, everything is preparing for the upcoming Asian Championships.” Vice President Team leader Xue Yunfei said. Including playing golf yesterday was also necessary preparation for the Asian Championships.

This is the last "extracurricular activity" before the Men's Basketball Asian Championships. In addition to golf, there are also billiards, hot spring baths, swimming and other events to relieve the players' tension before the competition.

After returning from the disastrous defeat in Australia, head coach Yunus did not give the tired Chinese men's basketball players a chance to rest and adjust. Instead, they resumed training the next day. However, the way of civility and martial arts is relaxed, and the Qatar Asian Championship is approaching. Instead, the men's basketball coach arranged a variety of "extracurricular activities" for the players.

Relaxing the players also reflects the pressure of the men's basketball team on the other hand. There is only half a month left for Yao Ming to get in touch with the team, and he still has to overcome the pain in his foot. Not only Yao Ming is helpless, but Yunus is also helpless. In addition, although the coaching staff never mentioned "layoffs" and said that encouraging morale is the most important thing, judging from the current situation, one of Jilin team's Wang Bo and Guangdong team's Wang Shipeng will not be able to travel with the team to the Asian Championships.

POSE is more important

Zhang Yunsong picked up the golf club and said something that his teammates agreed with: "It doesn't matter whether you hit the ball well or not, you must have a good posture." This is obviously a very reasonable statement on the golf practice field. Under his leadership, his teammates also started to pose on the practice field.

Although I don’t even know the basic gestures of holding the club, a perfect stance is a must; although my swing is unclear, my concentration and calm demeanor are a must; although I can’t hit a ball, But after swinging the golf club, it is necessary to stop the golf club in mid-air and take a distant view - teammates’ mobile phones will capture this heroic moment.

Zhang Yunsong’s pose is the coolest, with full camera sense. He asked reporters to take pictures of him with his mobile phone, and then walked to the driving range and started to put on a show - it didn't matter if he hit or not, his swing must be cool.

Yi Jianlian has the best golf pose, and his standing posture after each swing is particularly standard. However, he also seems to be the least interested in golf.

Playing golf is different from playing basketball

"Fortunately, this is a driving range. If we go off the track, the turf will not be cut away," Sun Yue said. This tall defender, who is 2.05 meters tall, still looked stylish when he appeared on the golf course yesterday. However, he was obviously not used to dealing with small white golf balls, and the venue where he played made the most noise.

When he first touched the stick, Sun Yue always missed the ball and could only hit the ground, making a harsh sound. Finally able to hit the ball, he hit the ball onto the ceiling and bounced back three times in a row, scaring Wang Shipeng and Yi Jianlian into hiding aside.

Tall defender Sun Yue looks elegant and elegant. He is less than 20 years old and likes fashion. This is also the unique characteristic given to young people of his age in this era. His biggest hobbies are collecting basketball shoes and playing computer games. But Sun Yue, who looks fresh and delicate, is obviously not as good at golf as he is at basketball.

"Golf and basketball are indeed very different." Zhang Yunsong finally came to a conclusion that made people laugh.

People who don’t like golf

Yi Jianlian doesn’t seem to be interested in golf, and he is sitting lazily playing on his mobile phone. In the end, he couldn't resist the temptation and took a step towards the driving range. After hitting three shots, he threw down the club again: "It's not fun if I don't play." He went back to playing with his mobile phone. But after a while, he returned to the driving range and practiced his swing by himself, looking very involved. Among the few players who had never touched a club, Yi Jianlian played reasonably well.

The head coach Yunus and others seem to prefer to stay in the "Water World". The hot springs there are also very suitable for the "workaholic" head coach Yunus to relax his nerves. Because of his back injury, Yunus can't do strenuous activities such as tennis and golf, so swimming has become his favorite hobby and fitness method. Swimming in hot springs is more comfortable.

Deputy team leader Xue Yunfei said: "What we need most now is to relax and boost morale." Hence this golf trip. Although the time is not long, it is very satisfying for the men's basketball team, which rarely has extracurricular activities.
