The Three Centers of China Men's Basketball Team

We say that the three centers in China are Bater, Wang and Yao Ming. All three are center, and their height is over 2m 10, so they are also called the "moving Great Wall" of China.

And because of the existence of three high centers, the inside strength of China Men's Basketball Team was second to none in the world at that time. In particular, the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games can be said to be a highlight year for the three centers. Let me start with Bater. Bater has a strong body and a tough style. It can be said that he completely inherited the Mongolian gene. As long as he goes there, he will be like an iron tower.

His unique physical condition prevents him from participating in any level of competition. Bater overthrew O 'Neill in the NBA that year, and this allusion has always been remembered and talked about by fans.

It is because of Bater's good physique that he won the favor of NBA teams. 0 1, Denver Nuggets also took him in. But Bater also has his own fatal shortcoming, that is, he moves too slowly.

But such shortcomings are acceptable in CBA, but will be infinitely magnified in NBA. Therefore, Bater has never been able to gain a foothold in the NBA. In three years, he changed three teams, from Nuggets to Spurs to Raptors. He only played 46 games in three seasons.

Bater's more important role in NBA is that he gives the team an imitation of O 'Neill in training. In the era when O 'Neill dominated the league, it can be said that many teams were thinking hard about how to deal with this insider giant.

This is particularly evident in the Spurs. It can be said that the reason why the Spurs signed a contract with Bater is actually to use Bater as O 'Neal in training to find a solution.

One of the most noteworthy is that in the 2002 -2003 season, Bater's Spurs won the NBA championship. At the same time, Bater also won a very precious championship ring for this championship, becoming the first player in China and even Asia to have an NBA championship ring.

Wang was selected to the China Men's Basketball Team at the age of 17, becoming the youngest national player in the history of China Men's Basketball Team. He has a flexible attack rhythm and is left-handed. He participated in four Olympic Games and twice entered the quarter-finals. He is also the first man in the history of the Olympic men's basketball team.

His technical characteristics are mainly flexible footwork. He can attack from inside and outside, or he can shoot from a distance. So judging from the current basketball trend, he is actually more like a power forward. Just because of his special status as a soldier, his journey in the NBA was not very smooth. First of all, his entry into the NBA was delayed by many fetters, so he missed the best period of his career.

Later, a famous "no return incident" happened, which made him and chinese basketball association have a hard time, so his career in the NBA also lost the strong backing of Zu Guoqiang, which also led to his ups and downs in the NBA.

To talk about Wang's characteristics, he is recognized as a once-in-a-century basketball genius in the basketball world. Although he is tall, he has a dreamy and flexible pace, which once became a nightmare for Koreans and was even questioned many times whether he could walk.

Wang actually belongs to that gorgeous type. He has height, shooting and footwork. At the same level of ability, he can kill in all directions, so he shines. Moreover, Dazhi actually belongs to the young and famous type, and his starting point can be said to be the highest among the three.

However, the problem is that Wang's defense is actually very general, especially against high-level opponents, which is easy to show. Because of Wang's defensive defects, he finally failed to gain a foothold in the NBA, belonging to the center era.

The last one is Yao Ming. Yao Ming's technical characteristics can be summarized in two words: exquisite and comprehensive. As a traditional center, Yao Ming's technical characteristics can be said to be unconventional.

As a center, Yao Xiang explained what a "perfect first center" is. Yao's inside skill can be said to be unprecedented. Under the basket, Yao Ming's singles speed and finishing ability are unique, including his turn-over jump shot and semi-hook, and long-distance dunk.

Yao Ming can use all kinds of means to finish the final sprint at the basket, and all this is because of his delicate skills, so Yao can be said to be a technical stream, and there is no lack of courage against the tall center!

But when Van Gundy coached the Rockets, he transformed Yao Ming into a giant like O 'Neal, so Yao Ming's weight was 1, 4 1kg, and he was not afraid of any confrontation from inside.

Friends who have seen Yao Ming play ball during that time should be no strangers. Yao Ming's dunks after the inside confrontation are also frequently staged, and the center of any team is not spared.

However, it is precisely because of Yao Ming's weight gain that Yao Ming's health burden is very heavy, which leads him to be overwhelmed in the later period of his career. At the same time, he also suffered from frequent injuries, so he finally regretted retiring early. If it weren't for injuries, Yao Ming might have achieved higher results, and it might not be impossible to get his own championship ring!
