Gugani fell in love with basketball under the influence of his brother since childhood, or rather, he fell in love with watching basketball first. My brother often buys some Jordan albums, Gugani watches them every day, and then he is gradually attracted by this culture. His playing basketball is a pure idea, that is, like it, simply like it.
Gugani began to really contact basketball at the age of 14. At that time, his shooting method was not correct, but one-handed shooting. As a result, the basketball teacher of the school told him that there were no male players in the middle school throwing with both hands. Gugani, with a strong desire to win, began to spend a lot of time practicing shooting. Only after 1 year, I was successfully selected for the school team.
It was not until 16 years old that Gugani represented the region in Malaysia's national competition. This was his first time to participate in a major competition, to receive guidance from a professional coach, and to learn about basketball culture on the court for the first time. The shooting action before the game is not standard. He practiced shooting for a whole year for the competition.
Gugani plays an important role in the Selangor men's team. In the 2004 Heads of State Cup group match against Penang, Gugani was heavily defended by the other side and finally left the game injured, which shows that he has become an indispensable soul player of the team.
In 2000, the 16 Asian Youth Championship was held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and Gugani represented the Malaysian youth team.
In 2003, Gugani came to China to study in the Department of International Economics and Trade of Huaqiao University, and started his new journey. While studying at Huaqiao University, Gugani served as the captain of the school basketball team, leading the Huaqiao University men's basketball team with teammates, Zhang Jiabin, Chen, Peng Huicong and Weng Delong. He reached the finals of China University Basketball League five times and won the championship five times. At that time, Gugani entered Huaqiao University because there were many overseas Chinese students here, and he didn't know Cuba until he came. During this period, Gugani performed well, making opponents feel pressure regardless of offense and defense. Therefore, it is also praised by many people as the first point guard in Cuba and the "black storm" on the basketball court.
In 2004, Gugani led the team to win the Health Cup, and the participating teams were the champions of the past five university leagues.
In Malaysia, Gugani can score 20 or 30 points in a game. When he came to Cuba, Gugani changed a defender. Moreover, he is a master like a cloud, and there are mountains outside the mountain. It is impossible to suddenly show his position like in Malaysia. However, as the captain of Huaqiao University basketball team, Gugani has been doing his duty and trying his best to do what a point guard should do. There are many pitchers in the team, so he chose to pass the ball to the right person at the best time. According to the technical statistics after each game, Gugani scored few points, but no one would doubt his strength, and no one would not be amazed at such a good player. They are called "Five Tigers of Overseas Chinese", and they are shining stars wherever they go. Some people want to sign autographs, some people want to take pictures, and their heads are covered with dazzling aura.
In 2007, entering the fourth year, that is, the last year of his college career, Gugani began to think about his future. At that time, because Malaysian basketball was not very professional, he had to choose between basketball and career. Gugani said: "If the unit I later worked for can't let me play with the team for a long time, I can only retire. But personally, I still want to play basketball the most. I hope that Malaysian basketball will become more and more professional, so that many outstanding players in China can continue their basketball career. " Gugani is very eager to stay in China and play CBA. At that time, Shanxi team had contact with him, but because of his Malaysian nationality, if he joined CBA, he would occupy a foreign aid quota. Compared with other foreign aid, Gugani's level at that time could not reach that level.
In 2007, Gugani was sent to graduate school, majoring in tourism. In the 2008 CUBA Finals, Gugani and his teammates led Huaqiao University men's basketball team to win the championship for the sixth time, which also set a record of four consecutive championships. Due to the limit of the number of matches in the 2009 1 1 league, Gugani participated in the 6th CUBA. By choosing Cuba, Gughani gave up the opportunity to join the Malaysian national men's basketball team, and this is not the first time.
In Cuba, in addition to winning the championship, Gugani also set the record of the most assists (297 times) and steals (15 1 time).
After leaving school in 2008, Gugani moved to China provinces such as Shanxi, Fujian and Guangdong, where he worked for his company and learned some professional skills.
Recalling when he was in college, Gugani admitted that it was the happiest day since he played. He said: "At that time, the team lineup was neat and the strength was superior. The feeling of pursuing victory is very unforgettable. "
During his stay in Cuba, Gugani will also return to China to participate in the Pan-Malaysian Basketball League (NBL) and play for the Jason Wu Sports Association in Malacca. This tournament is an amateur association competition, which lasts for one month. Gugani and his teammates have won the championship for the team many times. After the establishment of the Southeast Asian Basketball League (ABL) in 2009, Malaysia had its first professional team (Kuala Lumpur Raptors), with Gugani as its captain. He is a frequent visitor and captain of the Malaysian national team.
20 1 1, Gughani and Liwei Chen led the Malaysian national team to the finals in the qualifiers of the 26th Asian Men's Basketball Championship, which was the second time that the Malaysian men's basketball team reached the finals of the Asian Championship after six years. In the semi-final of the Asian Championship held in Wuhan, Malaysia successfully advanced to the second stage of the competition, and finally defeated Uzbekistan, and won the ranking of 1 1, which set the best record for participating in the Asian Championship since the 1990s.
