Chinanews client, Beijing, September 29 (Wang Hao) Every year, the CBA offseason is a time to say goodbye to the veterans, and this year is no exception.

After the registration deadline for the league, people counted the lists of the teams and found that some familiar names did not appear again.

CBA officially released the Zhang Qingpeng competition poster.

  As more and more veterans who debuted in the 00s bid farewell to the game, the golden age of the Chinese men's basketball team in the 20th century is farther and farther away from us.

The first wave is ebb, are the back waves ready?

  Yi Li’s retirement announcement was released together with the announcement of his appointment as a team assistant. Jiangdu Kendia said: "Goodbye, Captain Yi; welcome, easy guidance!"

  He has worked hard for the team for 18 seasons, played 572 games, is a model of CBA one man, one city.

In the 2004-2005 season, Yi Li won the CBA Best Newcomer Award. At that time, the Jiangsu team was also called Jiangsu Nangang. In the finals of that season, Jiangsu and Guangdong played five games. The fifth game was won by the Guangdong team at home. Reverse, miss the championship.

Data map: The Chinese men's basketball team defeated their opponents 84-58 in the 2011 Asian Basketball Championships and entered the quarterfinals with six consecutive victories.

Yi Li, who came off the bench, scored a team-high 19 points.

  Yi Li started that game, but he was still slightly immature and could not stop the Guangdong team from winning the championship.

This game is still often mentioned many years later. What is a bit sad is that the Jiangsu team has not won the championship.

But in those years when the team's performance was ups and downs, Yi Li used his too thin figure among professional players to keep the team going.

  Meng Duo entered the CBA two years later than Yi Li, and made his debut in the 2006 game against Guangdong in Dongguan. It seems that this is a fate.

Contrary to Yi Li, Meng Duo's career has been in distress.

  After the Dongguan team became the main scorer in the team, Meng Duo moved to Xinjiang in 2011 and returned to Dongguan in 2013 after playing for two seasons.

In 2015, Dongguan Liebao moved to Shenzhen.

  In 2018, Meng Duo, who has become a veteran, signed to Guangdong and won the championship with the team the following year.

In the talented Guangdong, Meng Duo's statistics are not good-looking, but his lore in Xinjiang in the regular season has become a classic for fans throughout the season.

He returned to the Shenzhen team after winning the championship and did not appear in the team's registration roster for next season.

Guangdong team official Bo released Meng Duo's birthday poster.

  This offseason, it seems that many players who entered the league in the 00s officially bid farewell to us.

The first 10 years of the 21st century can be regarded as another golden age for the Chinese men’s basketball team. At that time, we had Yao Ming, who was outstanding in Asian basketball and looked forward to showing off in the Olympic Games held at home.

  Zhang Qingpeng became famous in this era and was selected into the Beijing Olympics squad.

At that time, he played for Liaoning, just like the tradition of the Liaoning men's basketball team, full of passion for the game.

But the Liaoning team seems to have had bad luck for many years, and they have been missing the championship.

  After the Beijing Olympics, Zhang Qingpeng ushered in the pinnacle of his career and was once elected the "vote king" of the All-Star Game.

The tough and passionate style also earned him the nickname "Zhang Sancrazy". After moving around in Xinjiang and Beijing, he finally won the championship ring and ended his career in Shandong.

The final battle of Zhang Qingpeng's career.

  The last battle of Zhang Qingpeng's career was Shandong against Qingdao in the playoffs last season. Although Shandong failed to win, Zhang Qingpeng scored 37 points in the game, setting a career playoff scoring high.

At the beginning of this year, the epidemic caused the CBA to be suspended. After the rematch, many players' competitive conditions were not good. At that time, many people shouted to the young people to see how Zhang Qingpeng treated the game.

  The veteran retires, this is a plot that will be staged every summer.

But for many people this summer, parting means stronger.

After Zhang Qingpeng retired, among the 12 people participating in the Beijing Olympics, only Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue had not retired.

  Twelve years ago, they were all promising young players, and now they have become the team's big brothers.

As Yi Jianlian suffered a rupture of the Achilles tendon in the finals, it became doubtful whether he could recover his previous state after returning to the game.

  In the first 10 years of the 21st century, I have the fond memories of Chinese basketball fans forever, but maybe it is time to look forward.

We no longer have players like Yao Ming, and it is difficult to have players like Yi Jianlian in a short period of time. The former waves gradually withdrew from the stage of history, can the latter catch up?

  After the CBA rematch last season, in the absence of most foreign aid, some domestic Mesozoic and new generation players exploded in performance and data, and some fans even shouted the slogan of "Guardian Shengshi".

But such a so-called "prosperity" still needs to be tested by international competitions.

  After all, before last year's Men's Basketball World Cup, many people felt that one or two players could take over the banner of the Chinese men's basketball team from Yi Jianlian.

And as a result, everyone has seen it.

  Those players who cannot become regulars of the national team must learn their style from their predecessors.

More than ten years ago, the level of CBA's foreign aid was far lower than it is now. Many domestic players on the team can carry the team forward. Is it true that some teams no longer have such a role?

  One of the reasons why fans are endlessly nostalgic is that reality is not satisfactory.

The highlight moments of the past have long since passed, the first waves slowly ebb, and the latter waves please hurry up to keep up!
