The Chinese men's basketball team was once a dominant force in Asia, achieving multiple top-eight finishes in the world. However, since Xin Lancheng took office as the chairman of the basketball association, all these achievements were destroyed. He not only forced Yao Ming to retire at the age of 31 but also led to Wang Zhizhi being expelled from the national team. Fans believe that he set back Chinese basketball by 20 years. What exactly did Xin Lancheng do that was so outrageous? The ups and downs of the men's basketball team are both loved and hated by fans. The glory of Chinese men's basketball is something that fans could talk about endlessly. Chinese men's basketball developed alongside the reform and opening up. In 1984, the Chinese men's basketball team participated in the Olympics for the first time and achieved a top-eight finish, which was of great significance to the development of our country's basketball career. After that, many famous players contributed to the development of our country's basketball career, such as Zhang Weiping, Liu Yudong, Wang Zhizhi, Yao Ming, etc. When they were there, the achievements of the Chinese men's basketball team were one after another. It would not be an exaggeration to say that we were a strong team on the Asian continent. But who would have thought that such an experienced team would remain in a low period? If you ask fans who is responsible for the current state of Chinese men's basketball, they will definitely name Xin Lancheng. Xin Lancheng is considered a late bloomer. He…

NBA stars are known for their exceptional skills and unique personalities, becoming idols in the hearts of basketball fans around the world. But what were these superstars like in their childhood? Let's travel through time together to take a look at the childhood photos of these NBA legends and feel their transformation from cute kids to court legends. LeBron James LeBron James is a name that is almost universally recognized in the basketball world. The young LeBron in the photo doesn't look much different from how he does now, which is why fans often tease him for being "mature beyond his years." His dark skin, bright eyes, warm smile, and those adorable ears make it easy to recognize who this is. Yao Ming When we talk about Yao Ming, we tend to associate him with stability and humility. However, there was an unknown side to young Yao. The boy in the photo, wearing a red leather jacket and yellow casual pants, looks like a rock singer. This outfit makes one wonder if Yao had chosen a career in music, would he have become a shining star as well? Dwyane Wade Wade is undoubtedly one of the handsome black guys in the NBA, known for his chiseled features and strong physique. However, young Wade didn't stand out much, but old fans could still recognize him through his distinctive jowls. Stephen Curry Curry is loved by fans for his precise three-point shooting and his sunny good looks. Young Curry may have lacked a bit of heroism, but his cute and naive temperament…

Zhou Qi's thighs, Yao Ming's thighs, LeBron James' thighs, no comparison, no embarrassment! As we all know, lower body strength is crucial for basketball players. Without strong leg muscles, it's difficult to stand firm in the intense competition of the game. To illustrate this point, let's take a look at the leg muscles of top domestic and international basketball players. After seeing them, you'll understand where the gaps lie. Zhou Qi At the center position, Zhou Qi possesses outstanding physical talent, including his height, wingspan, speed, jumping ability, and coordination. However, the reason why Zhou Qi couldn't establish himself in the NBA is largely due to his lack of muscle strength and poor ability to compete physically. It's worth noting that even against some guards, he couldn't effectively inflict damage. As can be seen from the picture, Zhou Qi's thighs have almost no muscle lines, and their dimensions are not much different from those of ordinary people. For a professional basketball player, this is clearly unacceptable. Yao Ming When Yao Ming first entered the NBA, he also had a "skeletal" physique. However, he knew that to succeed in the league, he had to strengthen his power. In less than two years, Yao Ming built up a muscular physique, and his level of competition reached the top of the league. Even when facing superstars like Shaquille O'Neal and Dwight Howard, he didn't fall behind. What Yao Ming is most praised for is his lower body strength. Yang Yi once described it this way: Yao Ming's thighs are as solid as tree…

Translation of the article content into English: Recently, US media has selected the top 10 most influential players in NBA history, including household names such as Jordan, James, Kobe, and Curry. Let's take a look at the specific rankings. 10. Magic Johnson Magic Johnson created the "SHOW TIME" Lakers in the 80s and led the team to win five championships, being elected MVP three times. If it weren't for health issues that forced him to retire early, his resume would undoubtedly be even more impressive. 9. Shaquille O'Neal Shaquille O'Neal is hailed as the most dominant center in history, known for his unparalleled strength and beastly physique. During his peak, he led the Lakers to three consecutive championships and was awarded FMVP each time. 8. Yao Ming In terms of historical status, Yao Ming may not even rank in the top thirty, but his influence is no less than any superstar. Yao Ming's emergence established a bridge between the NBA and Asian basketball, and at the height of his popularity, his fame and recognition surpassed even top stars like Kobe and James. 7. Stephen Curry Curry being ranked seventh may seem somewhat underrated, as he not only won four championship trophies for the Warriors but also pioneered the small-ball era. It's not an exaggeration to say that Curry almost single-handedly changed the style of modern basketball, making small-ball tactics mainstream. 6. Wilt Chamberlain Wilt Chamberlain was an "ancient data harvester," setting records that later generations could not match, such as scoring 100 points in a single game and averaging 50…
