Rebirth of Basketball Boy

On the broadcast stand, CCTV's famous mouth Yu Jia and the famous basketball commentator Zhang Weiping have already been in place. There is still a period of time before the game starts, so the two of them chatted casually, "Thanks to Zhang for guidance, it’s freezing cold. People also come to Jinan to talk with me about the game."

Zhang Weiping is about fifty years old, half of his head is gray, but he is very energetic. He squinted his eyes and shook his head with a smile, "Xiaoyu, you are too polite to say this, am I not for nothing? It's high school basketball, you won't give me money in the station?"

Of course, the Yu family knew that Zhang Weiping was joking, but still shook his head seriously, "Of course not. I personally think that it is more meaningful to explain Chinese high school basketball than the NBA, because this is our own country's basketball, which may not be as exciting as the NBA. But this is our hope for Chinese basketball!"

"That's right." Zhang Weiping nodded meaningfully, "The times are different, and our country should keep up with the times."

The Yu family also nodded in agreement, "A lot of people outside are criticizing the nationwide system now. Zhang, don't you think that is the same?"

"That's not enough!" Zhang Weiping smiled heartily, "I am also a product of the nationwide system. Forgetting my roots is not a good character."

Zhang Weiping was also a member of the national basketball team. In 1973, the first year when the National Sports Commission fully resumed various sports, he was selected into the national basketball team coached by the godfather of Chinese basketball Qian Chenghai. He has been playing in the national team for 8 years. In the World Championships, he averaged 25 points per game. He is China's first-generation "flying man" and has the title of "Magician under the Basket".

The Yu family also laughed, "If the nationwide system can cultivate many talents like Director Zhang, then there will definitely not be so many curses outside."

"That's not necessarily!" Zhang Weiping shook his head, "Now there is a very bad habit in China, that is, the moon abroad is round, and everything abroad is good. As long as it belongs to our country, don't use your mind. Just open your mouth and curse, just like this nationwide system. I admit that the nationwide system does restrict our nation’s national fitness to a certain extent, but if there is no nationwide system, we might be able to win gold and silver in last year’s Olympics. Is it a good result to occupy the second place in the gold medal list? Many people say that the "only gold medal theory" is a fallacy, but I would like to ask them, when the five-star red flag is flying high in the sky, when the march of the volunteers echoes on the Olympic arena Isn’t your heart excited? If so, why do you oppose the national system? If not, are you still a Chinese?"

Among the CCTV commentators, the Yu family has always been known for daring to speak. His thoughts are also more radical. Obviously he disagrees with Zhang Weiping’s statement, but he did not refute it. He just smiled and shook his head. Guidance, let’s just discuss basketball. The discussion is too broad and inappropriate."

"Then just talk about basketball." Zhang Weiping thought about it for a moment and continued: "Didn't I just say it, the current national system is indeed a bit out of date. Don't get me wrong, Xiaoyu, I am not a supporter of the national system. What I said just now is just to say that the special era has given the nationwide system the necessity, but the same time, the nationwide system is no longer welcome. Why do you say that? Let’s start with basketball. The 30 NBA teams have no youth. The team, all their players, are mostly obtained through drafts or trades between teams. Why don’t there be a steady stream of talents for NBA training without youth teams? The reason lies in their college basketball and high school basketball. , And even street basketball. In the past, NCAA, that is, college basketball was the main source of NBA players, but from the first draft pick Kwame Brown, it can even be traced back to earlier Kevin Garnett, Kobe, and McGrady. , O’Neal, until the two consecutive years of No. 1 pick LeBron James and Dwight Howard, they all entered the NBA directly as high school students. Why can American high school students become NBA superstars? Our Chinese High school students can’t do it? The reason lies in this system. Although the United States does not have a youth team, they select talents from the whole country. What about our country? How many people can each youth team die? The choice is narrow. This is the whole country. The disadvantage of the system lies in the difference between basketball and other sports. Basketball cannot be played well by practicing hard. Basketball requires talent. So I support this National High School Basketball Competition, which is like A window has been opened, and I believe that as long as we persevere, the Chinese basketball talents will definitely blow out spectacularly!"

Zhang Weiping is a silly talker, and he talks endlessly, but fortunately, the Yu family is used to it. He patiently listens to Zhang Weiping's speech before nodding slightly and saying: "What Zhang Weiping said is very reasonable. This year’s competition was just an upgrade trial. We found a lot of good seeds. For example, the Jilin Division finals we broadcasted the previous two days. Liu Xiaoyu from Changchun 11th Middle School is a very good point guard. Personally, I think he is likely to become the future chief point guard of the Chinese national team!"

"Yes, I have a certain understanding of the kid you said. He has good explosiveness and jumping ability. He has a wide passing field of vision, and his confrontation ability is not bad. The combination of speed and slowness is particularly good, and the dribbling is smooth. Not fancy, it can be said that as long as it is carefully cultivated, the future will become a great weapon!" Zhang Weiping turned his attention to the players of the two teams who have already played warm-ups. "Shandong has always been a major sports province in China, and there have been many excellent basketball players. Mu Tiezhu, Song Tao, and Gong Xiaobin of an era, these are all basketball stars that the people of the country are familiar with. In fact, there is another person I am very optimistic about. Every time I think of him, I feel very guilty... "

"Oh?" The Yu family asked with interest: "Who is Director Zhang talking about?"

"A genius who can become a world-class point guard!" Zhang Weiping sighed and slowly said: "I killed him. If I didn't take him to the United States, maybe he..."

"Is there such a person?" The Yu family frowned and thought, "Then I haven't heard of it, right?"

"You have never heard of it. Do you know about Dazhi?" Because it was a private chat, Zhang Weiping's words were less scrupulous. At this time, Wang Zhizhi should not be a name that should not appear in the mouths of Chinese basketball players. Obeying national signs, he has been blacklisted by the State Sports General Administration and issued a "blocking order" in the news media.

The Yu Jia nodded silently. Wang Zhizhi’s affairs are indeed regrettable. Although the national team now has Yao Ming as the "Optimus Jade Pillar", no one would think that the national team lacks Wang Zhizhi as the first one to fight. The NBA Asian, Wang Zhizhi's ability is unquestionable. His shooting and his support are very much needed by the national team, but there is no way. Who can let him not have the IQ of Yao Ming?

"The situation of that person was more serious than that of great ambition, so you don't know anything about this person." Zhang Weiping sighed again, "If only he wasn't so stubborn at the beginning, it would be good, good luck!"

The Yu family should have been very interested in this kind of thing, but now he can't bring up any emotions, because he thinks of Wang Zhizhi and Athens in August last year. At that time, I am afraid that many people have the same ideas as him. With Wang Zhizhi, maybe the Chinese team will be able to make the quarterfinals, right?

At this time, the director reminded the Yu family in the headset that the broadcast footage would be cut into the broadcast booth. The Yu family adjusted the state and nodded to Zhang Weiping, then cleared his throat to the camera, "Good afternoon, audience friends, welcome to watch CCTV Sports Channel will broadcast the finals of the 2004-2005 CHBA Shandong Division live for you. Today we are bringing you the match against the basketball team of Shandong Experimental Middle School and the basketball team of Shuiyun No. 1 Middle School. Sitting beside me The broadcast consultant is still the guidance of Zhang Weiping, whom we all know very well."

Zhang Weiping waved his hand with a smile, "Good afternoon everyone!"

The Yu Jia said: "Director Zhang, I guess most of the audience don't know much about these two teams. Could you please introduce them to everyone?"

Zhang Weiping nodded, "Okay. Shandong Experimental Middle School is a team that focuses on inside attack, defense and team cooperation. Their inside twin towers are above 2 meters. The average height of Shuiyun No. 1 Middle School is higher than Their opponents are much shorter, and their style naturally pays more attention to outside speed."

Zhang Weiping said simply and concisely. It is not that his wordy hairy lesions are healed, but that he does not know the two teams very well, and it is too wrong to say more. Zhang Weiping is still very cautious about things he does not know.

"Yes, we have now got the starting lineups of the two teams. From this list, we can roughly judge the difference between the two teams. At the Shandong Experimental Middle School, center No. 14 Chen Xiaodong is 2. Mi 05, power forward No. 9 Zhang Hanqi 2.05 meters, small forward No. 10 Wu Fengtao 1.96 meters, shooting guard No. 8 Zhang Qiushi 1.92 meters, point guard No. 4 Sun Dong 1.88 meters. Let’s look at Shuiyun Yizhong’s Starting lineup, center No. 13 Han Dengyun 1.94 meters, power forward No. 10 Xu Zhong 1.93 meters, small forward No. 9 Fu Zijun 1.90 meters, shooting guard No. 12 Huang Wenyi 1.84 meters, point guard No. 11 Yan Lingfeng 1 meter 85. The contrast is very big, you can imagine that this must be a duel between altitude and speed!"

"Yes!" Zhang Weiping nodded in agreement: "What is the future development direction of basketball? This is a divergent question. In fact, there are two answers: height and speed. For a long time, height has nothing to do with the basketball court. Comparable advantages, such as our little giant Yao Ming, supporting him to become the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft. I think the biggest reason is his height. Of course, his height is not absolute. In the past few decades, the mainstream of international basketball is also high. The insiders win the world. In other words, height rules the court. But now, more and more people believe that speed is the direction of future basketball development. For example, the "manufacturer" Pat Riley, he used to Having said that, whether height is king or speed wins, let us all wait and see and look forward to today's game together!"

"I just introduced the starting roster of the two teams to you. Here I want to mention especially the center No. 14 Chen Xiaodong of the experimental middle school. He is hailed by the industry as the descendant of the'Happy King' Gong Xiaobin!"
