Chapter 002: Set sail with the wind
He may not shine as the superstar of the times, the domineering of the "Tiger King", the chic of the "God of War", the agility of the "Easy King", and the weirdness of the "crooked machine gun"!
He doesn't have any of these, all he has is the basketball concept of not giving up and not abandoning!
"Desperate Saburo" is the biggest praise from fans and the media for him, although his career is only nine years, he has won two league championships with the team, although he is not the core each time, but he is an indispensable piece of the puzzle for the championship.
Although there are no personal awards, the 23 scars on his body are his best honor, an iron-clad medal!
If it weren't for the fact that his body couldn't support the intensity of the professional league, he would never have retired so early.
The lifeless defense, the three points that are not soft at the critical moment, also make him the last guardian saint in the hearts of the team and the fans, and giving him the ball at the last second is also the greatest trust and respect of the fans for him!
With his retirement, his number zero jersey also hangs high above the home stadium, quietly guarding the team he fought for!
After retiring, he did not leave basketball, but returned directly to become the team's defensive coach.
In three years, let this tough guy on the court become the best sixth man on the coaching team!
This year, he was thirty-two years old. After taking over as head coach of the team's youth team, his glorious coaching era has officially arrived compared to what can only be described as a stellar career.
In three years, Wang Zhengyang has completed three consecutive championships of the youth team, and three points and defense are his forte, and the team under him has also practiced these two kung fu to the extreme.
Under his hands, whether it is the No. 1 position or the No. 5 position, everyone has the ability to shoot three-pointers, and you must know that the basketball concept at home and abroad in that era was still dominated by big centers.
"Jump Shots" is what insiders call their team, and his defense is a must-have compared to his flashy three-point offense.
However, when offense wins fans, it naturally wins attention, while defense wins games and is not valued by fans, at least in those days.
And Wang Zhengyang, who grasps both offense and defense, not only won the fans but also won the victory, even in the field of youth teams, the treble is not a simple achievement.
After the head coach of the home team ceased to serve due to age, the hired foreign coach was unable to integrate into the team, which led to the former league giants becoming a water dog who was bullied.
Finally at the end of the season, facing the seat of the league leader, the senior management directly dismissed the foreign coach, and in this way Wang Zhengyang became the captain of the firefight.
That year, he was thirty-five years old, and the youngest head coach in the league was born!
Originally, it was just a choice for the transition period, but Wang Zhengyang proved himself with his achievements.
He has a large number of new recruits, as well as the selection of suitable foreign players. At the end of the season, the team, which was at the bottom of last season, is once again in the playoffs.
Although due to lack of experience, he was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. But Wang Zhengyang has won the respect of the fans, this time as the head coach!
Not only the fans respect, but even the senior management is full of confidence in him.
The three-year contract officially established Wang Zhengyang's identity as the head coach, and in the past three years, Wang Zhengyang has resolutely implemented his basketball theory and implemented the tactical system.
The championship also returned to the team, from the bottom of the league to the champion coach, Wang Zhengyang only took four years.
This year, he was thirty-nine years old! The following year, the team successfully defended its title, and a dynasty was about to be established.
And Wang Zhengyang also ushered in his personal peak, and the call for the national team finally came.
You must know that when he was a player, in addition to representing the national youth in the competition, Wang Zhengyang never wore the national uniform.
The night he received the notice, Wang Zhengyang was drunk.
The national team gave him the status of the first assistant coach, second only to the foreign head coach, and everyone believed that the next Olympic year would be the moment when Wang Zhengyang wore the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team.
This time, Wang Zhengyang himself is also full of confidence. But fate is so impermanent, when he woke up, he found that he had come to this strange country and had a strange identity!
The only male member of the Chinese chef's family, the eldest son who is destined to inherit the family business!
He was confused, he was in a daze for more than ten years, and he had never touched basketball, Wang Zhengyang was planning to change his life in his life, and the chef who cooked delicious food might not be bad!
But when he was in the second grade of junior high school, he met a girl on the school's basketball team, and there was no love at first sight, Wang Zhengyang just looked blankly at this female basketball player named "Akagi Haruko".
At this moment, the flame that belonged to basketball in his heart burned again, and Wang Zhengyang knew that this world that belonged to slam dunk would eventually have his name shine.
It's as gorgeous as the midday sun!
picked up basketball again, perhaps because he didn't exercise since he was a child, Wang Zhengyang in this life was only 1.68 meters until he was 15 years old.
In the future, he may grow another 10 centimeters or so, which is definitely not too short, but this height is not dominant on the basketball court.
As a result, a new basketball player who urgently needs to improve his physical fitness and ball skills, Wang Zhengyang worked hard to exercise.
Fortunately, the foundation is not bad, and with the experience of the previous life, Wang Zhengyang grew up rapidly, surpassing most of his peers in one year.
Zhengyang, the fourth middle school, has gradually become famous. Wang Zhengyang, a second-year junior high school student, is ready to make a name for himself in the county competition!
But the night before the qualifiers, Wang Zhengyang, who was still practicing, was injured and sprained his knee!
It's not a big deal, but even that is enough to ruin his debut fight.
Fortunately, the fourth middle school is not a weak team, let alone Wang Zhengyang's one-man team, even if Wang Zhengyang does not play.
The third-year seniors still brought the team to the semifinals, that is, in this game, Wang Zhengyang, who was sitting on the sidelines, watched the team be defeated by one person.
Rukawa Kaede from Fugaoka Middle School, who became the captain of the team in only the second grade, has a handsome appearance and matching ball skills.
Rukawa Kaede still scored 51 points under the bag of the three, and you must know that the whole team in the fourth middle school of that game only scored 50 points.
In that game, the fourth middle school not only lost the game, but even lost its soul.
The third-year students withdrew one after another, and even the main force of the second-year at that time was mostly gone, and the first-year newcomers were even more wailing, seeing that the basketball team was about to fall into the crisis of withdrawing.
Wang Zhengyang stood up and re-practiced his old profession, he not only served as the captain, but also took charge of the team's main training.
Three-point and defensive, Wang Zhengyang's training plan for each player who stayed, allowed him to win the support of his teammates.
Today is the time to verify all this, after handing over the work in the store, Wang Zhengyang rode a bicycle to the school.
Unlike ordinary students who go to the classroom, Wang Zhengyang came directly to the basketball hall, changed into sportswear, and stood in the empty and quiet venue.
Wang Zhengyang couldn't help but lie down, the floor was a little cold but couldn't suppress the heat in his heart.
Lying on the ground in large characters, Wang Zhengyang squinted his eyes and recalled his past and present lives, and slowly fell asleep until someone kicked him awake.
