"Liang Kuan's inside dominance is indeed unmatched, but his teammates are inevitably a little behind." Yao Ming couldn't help frowning and said: "If the game develops like this, maybe this game won't be as exciting as the semi-finals Jida vs. Lake Division." ā
"Uncle Yao, you still don't know Liang Kuan." Director Li sighed.
"Oh? What is Lu Tong's opinion? Yao Ming asked.
"This is a long story, before coming to Shenyang this time, I met Shanxiangtai at a meeting."
"Shanxiangtai, the national player of the Guangdong team?" Yao Ming said: "When he was at CUBA Shenzhen Sports University, I was very optimistic about this player. It's a pity that I didn't get a chance in the draft. ā
"Exactly!" Li Lutong said: "He told me an incredible story......"
_________________________________________________
At that time, Director Li had just finished a meeting on the development of local basketball, and after the meeting, Sugi Xiangtai took the initiative to invite him to dinner. Director Li is a national player, and he likes to contact with excellent players by nature, and he happened to be able to arrange the time, so he happily went to the appointment.
With a pair of black-rimmed glasses on his long face, Sugi looks less like a player than a scholar. He himself is from CUBA, 25 years old this year, only two years older than Hua Bupo, and he is very familiar with many of CUBA's current players, so he chatted with Director Li very closely.
"It's a pity that I participated in the draft early, and I couldn't catch up with Hua Bupo, Yin Nan, and Ma Qiuping, and now I see them active in college basketball, it's a pity that I haven't come to the CBA in my senior year." Sugi Xiangtai commented.
Li Lutong nodded again and again, feeling the same way: "Yes, it's good to play in the amateur world and improve." But playing for too long is a waste of talent. ā
"I had a relationship with Mu Gangxian, and I persuaded him to participate in the draft as soon as possible by phone. Unexpectedly, this kid led the team to eliminate Beijing Sports University and reached the top 8 in the country. It seems that in this draft, his ranking will not be low. "Sugi Xiang Tai said.
"Haha, I didn't expect Xiangtai that you not only play the ball well, but also see people accurately." Director Li smiled: "How did you and Mu Gangxian meet?" ā
"At the end of my sophomore year, I decided to participate in the CBA draft, and I was successfully elected as the top pick, and my career development was quite smooth. But the performance of the Shenzhen Sports University basketball team plummeted, and I didn't feel good about it, so I stepped in to help the team recruit excellent high school students. At that time, I had just become a professional player for one year, and I was a junior in college, and Mu Gangxian was three years younger than me, which happened to be my third year of high school. "The coach and I rushed to visit Mu Gangxian and told him that if he could lead the team to the CHBL quarterfinals, we would leave him with a basketball spot. ā
"How did he get to Jida later?" Li Lutong asked, he didn't know much about the story of Mu Gangxian's high school days.
"Mu Gangxian's luck is too bad! In the second round, he met the king of the mountain university, but after the bloody battle, he fought the king, and the Xiangbei team was also injured, and finally stopped in the top 16. "Sugi Xiang Tai said.
"That's right, I know the story." Only then did Li Lutong think of Xiangbei, the legendary team that ended the three consecutive championships of King Mountain University of Technology.
"Later, we wanted to invite Mu Gangxian to go, but he was arrogant and thought that he had not fulfilled the agreement, so he was admitted to Jida by himself." Shan Xiangtai said: "I thought that a team like Jida would not be able to achieve anything, but I didn't expect Mu Gangxian to break out in one fell swoop in his junior year, I really don't know if he can continue to create miracles." ā
"That's the beauty of basketball! Good players always shine slowly. Li Lutong focused on the Northeast Division before, so he naturally knew Mu Gangxian's dominant performance.
"But what I'm most concerned about this year's CUBA is not Hua Bupo or Mu Gangxian, but the first-year monster." Sugi Xiangtai said suddenly.
"Liang Kuan? Everybody's got a lot of attention on him, his physical gifts are just amazing. ā
"To put it bluntly, Liang Kuan's strength far surpasses that of CUBA. Not to mention college players such as Mu Gangxian and He Yashi, even if they are excellent centers in the CBA, people like Wang Miwei are no longer his opponents. "Sugi Xiang Tai said.
"So exaggerated? How do you know so well? Li Lutong said in surprise.
Shan Xiangtai smiled awkwardly and said, "Heh, I'm not afraid of your seniors laughing at you." A few days ago, during the offseason, I went to Wuhan for a business event, and I happened to meet Liang Kuan, and the two of us had a private fight. ā

"Liang Kuan and Shanxiangtai had a draw???" Yao Ming was like being struck by lightning, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
"Yes, if I hadn't listened to Shanxiangtai himself, I wouldn't believe it!" Li Lutong explained.
It took a long time for Yao Ming to come back to his senses and said, "What kind of character is Shanxiangtai." Before Jack became a naturalized Chinese, he was once the starting center of the national team. Even if he is a little modest, Liang Kuan, this guy, can start with the national team in the first year of college, and it is not a fool's dream to squeeze out Jack and Bai Shenghuang in a few years and become the first person in Chinese basketball. ā
"That's why I'm strongly advocating for the inclusion of college players in the national youth team, and that's also an element. According to Liang Kuan's point of view, only considering the existing strength, it should be enough to become a pillar player of the national youth, at least on a par with Zhou Daochuan. Li Lu said.
"What a little guy who subverts common sense!" Yao Ming couldn't help but sigh: "I entered the national team at the age of 18, competed in the Olympic Games at the age of 19, and was elected as the MVP of the Asian Championships at the age of 20 to establish the status of the first brother of the national team. I thought that I would not see future generations reach this height in my lifetime, but now it seems that this kid has the possibility of surpassing me. ā
"But Liang Kuan's character is a big problem." Li Lutong said: "According to some information I have, his background is very pitiful. His father is a gangster, perennial beating and scolding him and his mother, his mother suffered from depression under long-term oppression, and finally stole his father's gun one night when Liang Kuan was 8 years old and opened fire. ā
"How can there be such a thing?" Yao Ming was shocked.
He has developed a withdrawn personality since he was a child, and after this incident, he became even more crazy, and it was not until he was discovered and cultivated by the coach a few years later that he gradually improved. If Liu Chuanzebei and others love basketball, and Ikebana Utu and others are competitive, then Liang Kuan likes to control and crush others. He doesn't have a good attitude towards basketball, like basketball is just a tool for him to prove his strength. ā
"I can understand his weird smile when you say that." Yao Ming said: "He is happy to see the hunt." He wants to constantly defeat all kinds of powerful enemies and prove that he can rule the realm. ā
"I'm just afraid that this childhood experience will bring him too many psychological problems, and if he can't control his own destiny since he was a child, his heart will gradually become distorted. It's hard to make a big deal out of this kind of mind! ā
Before the words fell, Liang Kuan faced Mu Gangxian and slammed the dunk and knocked Mu Gangxian to the ground.
With his trademark sinister smile on his face, he said grimly, "Give it your all, and see how I can trample you under my feet!" ā
