Wei Wei

Wei Wei, born in China on October 6, 1989, is a Chinese professional women's basketball player. He is a center player and plays for Inner Mongolia rural credit women's basketball team.

Technical features

"But in terms of her height, her flexibility and ability to run and jump are not bad," said head coach Sun Fengwu. "She is still very young, and her strength and weight can be increased completely. For example, when she first came here, she couldn't even do one push up, but now she can do six or seven push ups according to men's standard.".

Team leader Kuang Lubin is also optimistic about Wei Wei. He said: "when her body goes up, her skills and experience will be improved. At that time, she will be helpful to Chen Nan (Center) and the whole team, and will also be a threat to her opponents, especially the tall European team."

Sports career

Team: Guangdong Dongguan Jiahong women's basketball team

Results: runner up of WCBA League in 2010-2011 season

In the first round of women's Basketball League (WCBA), Wei Wei, a 15-year-old from Guangdong Hongjia, attracted the attention of all parties. As the youngest and tallest player in the WCBA League, Wei Wei got 5:32 playing time in the match between Guangdong Hongjia and SHENBU Sanyo. She hit a ball, got 2 points and grabbed a backcourt rebound. This little girl, who was regarded as "the hope of Chinese women's basketball team" in the industry, started her first step in her career.

Wei Wei, who participated in WCBA League for the first time, is unavoidably nervous. As a new player, she is eager to get the chance to play and is afraid that she will not perform well after playing. In particular, less than two minutes before the end of the first quarter match between Guangdong Hongjia and SHENBU Sanyo, the head coach Zheng Wei asked Wei Wei to get up and play. Excited Wei Wei took the ball seriously and played at the side of the field. She didn't expect that she would have a chance to appear in the first round of the league so soon.

The first warm-up, Wei Wei did not get the chance to play. It was not until the beginning of the second half that Wei Wei formally entered the stadium. However, Wei Wei, who has no competition experience, seems to have lost her way on the court. She hasn't touched the ball for more than one minute. Even if she gets the ball later, she will easily lose it. But under the guidance of the coach, Wei Wei gradually adapted to the fierce atmosphere on the field, and finally had the opportunity to throw the ball into the basket. There are 4 minutes and 30 seconds left in the third quarter. Wei Wei turns around with the ball under the opponent's basket and then takes a step back to shoot. Wei Wei finally hit her first goal in the WCBA League.

"In fact, I'm not too nervous, I just can't feel it, but it's much better after a goal, but soon the coach replaced me." Due to the need of tactical arrangement, Wei Wei was replaced not long after hitting the ball, although she didn't feel addicted.

Both parents are basketball players

"I've loved basketball since I was a child. I have a lot of basketball in my family." Born in a basketball family, Wei Wei has been influenced by basketball since childhood. Her father is 1.96 meters tall and is the main center of the former avant-garde Sports Association, while her mother, who is 1.82 meters tall, was once the main player of Shanxi women's basketball team. Therefore, from the day Wei Wei came to the ground, she was destined to have an inseparable relationship with basketball, and her first toy was basketball.

"Although my parents are basketball players, they never deliberately taught me to play basketball. I just played with my classmates in school." Because Wei Wei and his parents did not take care of him after retirement. Wei Wei basically plays at school on weekends, so the school teacher becomes her first basketball coach. "It was too young at that time, and my parents didn't want me to take the basketball road. But then they found out that I really like basketball, so they will teach me more or less when they are free. "

With the growth of age, the genetic factors of parents began to be reflected in Wei Wei. In the fourth grade of primary school, Wei Wei's height had reached 1.85 meters. "I was so young that I could grow so tall. At that time, a basketball coach of Guangzhou Weilun sports school noticed me and hoped that I could come to Guangzhou for development. In fact, I don't have any idea about this, but I think it's fun to go to a new place. " Therefore, Wei Wei came to Guangzhou Weilun sports school in 2000, and started systematic semi professional training. Soon, Wei Wei's talent in basketball was revealed. In October 2001, she participated in a national competition and helped the team get the third place. Her outstanding performance was also appreciated by the head coach of the national youth team, Zhang Qingming. Then she became a member of the national youth team. After the training of the national youth team, Wei Wei was employed by the national youth team. After the training of the national youth team, Hu Jiashi, deputy director of the National Basketball Management Center, recommended her to Gong Luming, coach of the national team. In this way, Wei Wei achieved "triple jump" in basketball career.

Personal life

Although Wei Wei's stay in the national team is very short, Gong Luming is very optimistic about this outstanding figure. "At that time, the palace director didn't say much. He always reminded me to eat more." Now Wei Wei's weight has reached 90 kg, which seems to be not commensurate with her height, tall and thin she is easy to be associated with the word "weak".

"I think my speed is OK, my technique is average, the most powerful is blocking, my defense is stronger." Wei Wei's evaluation of himself is still very objective. Zheng Wei, the head coach of Guangdong Hongjia, also commented on her. However, Zheng Wei thinks that Wei Wei's competition experience, physical fitness, strength and other aspects need to be further strengthened. However, these also grow with age.

"I met Zheng Haixia in the Club Cup, but she only talks to our director Zheng." Although the two centers met, they didn't talk. "I seldom watch basketball games, occasionally watch NBA, but my favorite is slam dunk master, and my favorite is Sakuragi flower path." Wei Wei, like many of her peers, likes to watch cartoons, but she chooses the theme of basketball.

For the future, Wei Wei did not think too much, even if asked if she wanted to go to the WNBA to play like Zheng Haixia, she also tilted her head for a long time. "Maybe in the future, but I don't know yet. I went to South Korea with Guangdong Women's basketball team for training this time, and saw that the coach of South Korea was wearing the championship ring. This was what I wanted most at that time. I hope I can also wear the championship ring in WCBA League
