Chinanews.com client, Beijing, September 29 (Li He) The autumn season often means that the new season of Chinese basketball will begin.
At the end of September, two of the most closely watched transfer protagonists during the offseason, Beijing Shougang new aid Fan Ziming and Li Muhao made their debut with the team.
The two new players seem to "get into the role" faster than the fans.
At the Shougang Men's Basketball Welcome Conference held on the evening of the 28th, when talking about the team, they were used to calling the team "our Shougang".
On the contrary, the audience present was silent for a while when they heard such a name, perhaps it took some reaction time, and then bursts of cheers broke out.
When the two of them really introduced themselves in front of the stage, even though one of them was a veteran of 10 years in CBA, and the other was a young man who had seen many "big scenes" with the Xinjiang team, they were a little nervous and cramped. .
Li Muhao even forgot to "hand management" when he introduced himself, holding the microphone in one hand and not knowing where to put the other hand.
In contrast, Fan Ziming appeared more calm.
When Li Muhao introduced himself, he was a little "at a loss."
It is no wonder that although Li Muhao is an "veteran", this is the first time in his career that he has changed a team; and Fan Ziming, who is 6 years younger than him, is considered "experienced."
He once played for the Liaoning team in the National Games, joined the Foshan Dragon and Lions team in 2014, and later renamed the Guangzhou Dragon and Lions. During this period, he also played for the Xinjiang men's basketball team on loan.
Two people in the same position at the same time will inevitably make people compare them.
In comparison, the difference seems to be more visible.
Speaking of the new environment, Li Muhao talked about the fans.
He said that he had learned a new word and was angry.
This is the righteous meaning in the Beijing dialect. He used this newly learned word to describe Beijing fans.
Li Muhao expressed his deep impression on the Beijing fans.
"When I first came to the away game, I felt that the atmosphere of the Beijing fans was very good, and they were very helpful to the team, especially for the performance of every player. I was also very supportive of me, so I must go all out." Li Muhao said so.
This may be the first time in his career he has had the opportunity to feel a completely different group of home team fans.
Fan Ziming talked about the toughness of Beijing Shougang as an opponent.
"For me, I think Beijing Shougang has been a tenacious and hard-working team for so long, and it is also a team based on defense. For so long, Shougang has been a frequent visitor to the semifinals. ."
At the same time, as a new aid, the media's focus is also different.
For Li Muhao, what people care about is what kind of plans he has at a new stage in his career.
Prior to the Shenzhen team, Li Muhao has more or less reached the "bottleneck period". When he comes to a team that needs him so much, can he seize the opportunity to make himself further?
Fan Ziming: I hope to bring my energy to the team.
Li Muhao's answer is: "I hope to play a better level. I have many aspects to continue to learn and integrate. For me, I need to better adapt to my teammates in the previous games."
At the same time, similar questions were thrown to Fan Ziming. The question is even simpler. The 22-year-old has come to a team with ample room for display. What is his goal for the new season?
Fan Ziming's answer is also more specific: "Aside from the technical and tactical aspects, I hope to bring my energy and bring my young and energetic side to the team. Today can be better than yesterday's me."
Of the two centers, one is close and the other is just in his early twenties.
In this summer of unprecedented frequent turnover, I met on a team that had been looking for a center for 10 years.

Looking at them, to some extent, they also symbolize the past and present of CBA player mobility.
A talented player who grew up from the youth team to the first team, in the past he didn't even need to consider his next contract; while the other was frequently running between several teams since joining the professional arena.
In this transformational stage of the CBA, the two met wonderfully in a team that desperately needed them.
The Shougang men's basketball team won the strongest inside combination since Battelle and Shan Tao, while Fan Ziming in the rising period and Li Muhao in the new stage of his career have also won an environment more suitable for their further development.
This is due to the activation of the free market by the new rules of the league's salary contract, and the full expectation of fans and the ambitious new aid also makes people look forward to the new season and the future of CBA.
