1986165438+1October 1 1 Wang Yong was born in Rugao county, Nantong city, Jiangsu province. He has developed sports cells since he was a child, showing great sports talent. Wang Yong, who studied in Anding Primary School, was first admitted by the coach of the track and field team and became the captain of the track and field team. Wang Yongli's PE teacher thinks he is a genius in track and field, and he will definitely become famous in time.
If there is no accident in the future, the Shanghai team may lose a star player, and maybe there will be another "lightning" in the track and field. At that time, the basketball coach of Rugao Sports School came to Anding Primary School to select candidates, and Wang Yong's excellent physical quality left a deep impression on him. The coach thought that Wang Yong played basketball well and decided to poach him from the track and field team of Anding Primary School.
The important choice of life path is before Wang Yong. Although he can run, jump, hold the ball, track and field and play basketball, basketball is still attractive to him. In this way, Wang Yong began to receive systematic basketball training in Rugao Sports School.
Excellent physical condition and comprehensive basketball skills made Wang Yong's basketball career smooth from the beginning. From local sports schools to national youth teams, the future of Wang Yong is limitless.
In 2002, Wang Yong was selected for the Shanghai team and officially played for the Shanghai team. As we all know, 2002 was a stormy year for the Shanghai team.
In the first half of the year, the team beat the "six-champion" Bayi Team in the CBA Finals with an unstoppable attitude, and won the championship successfully, writing the history of basketball in Shanghai and even China.
However, in the second half of the year, the team was in crisis. The departure of "Little Giant" Yao Ming meant the collapse of the team at first. Later, Ma Jian concealed his physical condition, which led to the termination of the contract and the loss of an experienced veteran. In the post-Yao Ming era, the Shanghai men's basketball team is facing many crises and needs to rebuild the team urgently. So I introduced a group of potential newcomers, including Wang Yong.
At that time, Wang Yong was only 16 years old, and the team had trained him as a point guard. Interestingly, after joining the Shanghai team, Wang Yong's height suddenly increased and finally stabilized at 2.05 meters. Head coach Li Qiuping thinks Wang Yong is more suitable to play small forward at this time.
Thanks to his previous point guard experience, Wang Yong not only has excellent ball control ability, but also has a broad vision. His baseline is stable by 3 points, with 45-degree angles on both sides, and he moves flexibly on the field. These characteristics make Wang Yong a rare tall but gentle striker in China, who can make a long-range breakthrough and has strong scoring ability.
In the same period, among several new players of Shanghai Sharks, Wang Yong is the one with the fastest progress. In 2004, Wang Yong became the first player of the team, second only to foreign aid Dryden and Wei Liu. With the accumulation of field experience, Wang Yong became the second scorer of Shanghai team and the right-hand man of captain Wei Liu, who propped up the Shanghai Sharks in the post-Yao Ming era.
From May 2004 to September 2008, Wang Yong averaged over 10 for five consecutive seasons. In the 2008-09 season, Wang Yong scored a career-high 33 points in the away game against Jiangsu. As the main striker of the Shanghai team, Wang Yong spared no effort to contribute to the team, but the Shanghai team has been unable to reproduce the glory when it won the championship in 2002.
20 13 in the summer, Wang Yong, 27, suffered from a knee injury for many years and had no choice but to fight and retreat. This is a very difficult decision for him. After all, Liu Wei, who is six years older than himself, is still playing.
Wang Yong played for the Shanghai team for 12 years, played 292 games and contributed 32 12 points to the club, which is worthy of the name. At the retirement ceremony, Wang Yong received a pair of special sneakers with the number "12" on one side, symbolizing his 12 years of playing for the Shanghai team, and the word "loyalty" on the other side. After retiring, Wang Yong became the assistant coach of the Shanghai team. However, a few months later, an accident brought him and his team a greater test.
Team coach Wang Qun can't take care of his wife who is seriously ill in hospital. For a time, the Shanghai team fell into a situation without a coach. Looking at the coach seat of the team, the boss Yao Ming took a fancy to the rookie coach Wang Yong.
Although Wang Yong has little coaching experience, it is almost impossible to find a coach who is as familiar with the Shanghai team as he is in a short time. So Yao Ming pushed 27-year-old Wang Yong to the position of coach.
Wang Yong knew that he lacked teaching experience, so he listened to the opinions of two bosses, Liu Wei and Zhang Wenqi. At the beginning of coaching, it was also a three-game winning streak, leading the team throughout the season 16 wins 13 losses. However, such a result obviously can not meet the requirements of the Shanghai team. Later, the team chose Ma Yuenan as the head coach, and Wang Yong continued to accumulate experience as the team assistant.
