People in the wind continue to write about sports glory (sports memory 2020)
The fallen superstar marches forward
In 2020, the fall of two superstars will eclipse the world sports galaxy.
In the dense fog of Los Angeles, "Black Mamba" Kobe passed away in an embarrassing way.
In a short 41-year life and a legendary 20-year career, Kobe not only stayed in history with 5 championship trophies and 81 points in a single game, but also inspired a generation of basketball lovers with surpassing ordinary efforts and desire for victory.
"Those days when you got up early, those days when you struggled, those days when you played until night, and those days when you were too tired to play, but you still struggled to survive and surpass the limit, that is a dream." Now, The "Peter Pan" on the basketball court has already flew far, but the unremitting efforts of the "Mamba" story will forever become the interpretation and footnote of sportsmanship.
Perhaps geniuses always have two faces-the toughest and most paranoid, like angels and demons, just like the ball king Maradona.
In the history of the Mexican summer game in 1986, he dedicated a half-time run against the sky with five consecutive performances, and also left a highly controversial and talkative "hand of God". On the green field, he created his own football era with talent and sweat. Outside the field, his willful and surly character and extremely unself-disciplined lifestyle left people with infinite sorrow and regret.
"Football is the most beautiful and healthiest sport in the world. I have made mistakes and paid the price, but football cannot be tarnished." A multi-faceted "old horse" and a generation of legendary kings-the departure of Maradona , Has taken away countless people's youthful memories, but every goal and every frame he left to the football world will always be imprinted in the hearts of people who love football.
The dead go away, the living move forward.
In the brilliant galaxy, the legend continues.
With the blessing of Kobe, LeBron James, wearing a Lakers jersey, won the championship trophy for Los Angeles and also wrote his historical score before Kobe.
Outside of basketball, he has also been on the front line of the United States against racial discrimination and police violence.
Under the gaze of Maradona, Messi paid tribute to the idol with a wonderful shot.
After scoring the goal, he was wearing a Maradona jersey and the two-fingered sky made countless fans cry.
Despite the break and choice with Barcelona at the beginning of the season, Messi, who eventually stayed in Barcelona, is still pursuing Maradona's legendary road.
The veteran says goodbye, the waves are terrible
This year, some people chose to bid farewell to the arena and embark on a new arena of life.
"From 2000 to 2020, I will say goodbye to the national team for 20 years. Originally, exporting is really difficult." In July of this year, Lin Dan announced his retirement, and the "Super Dan" who was the most powerful tennis player "retired." ".
The 20-year national team career has witnessed Lin Dan's transformation from a young and frivolous to a mature veteran.
In the men's singles final of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, he saluted the audience after winning the championship, and then threw off his shoes and rushed to the stands. This scene has become one of the most classic scenes in the history of Chinese sports.
From young to "old age", Lin Dan's achievements are dazzling enough, so far no one can match 20 world championship titles.
"'Persevere', I tell myself at every moment of suffering that I can make my sports career longer. Rather than just pursuing rankings when I was young, I want to challenge the physical limits of an'old' athlete more these years. Practice the sportsmanship of never giving up." I have had the edge of being a teenager, and the trough of Athens; I have experienced the peak of consecutive Olympic championships, and I have also experienced the struggle of veterans... With the fifth Olympic dream gradually As he drifted away, 37-year-old Lin Dan decided to turn around.
With the disappearance of the "Super Dan", the legendary "Lin Li Jue" of world badminton also came to an end.
The 14-year dialogue between Lin Dan and Li Zongwei created a classic matchup between Yuliang and a commendable great friendship.
Time and age can't stop the veteran's love for badminton. On the venue where he was proud and struggling, the lights went out, but in the future, they may meet again.
A relatively short career and a menacing back wave impact-the cruelty of competitive sports often brings "tears of the times" without leaving the opportunity to sigh "Yes."
In June of this year, the 23-year-old e-sports player, Uzi, ended his eight-year career.
From entering the League of Legends World Championship finals for the first time in 2013 to winning the exhibition gold medal on behalf of the Chinese team at the Asian Games in Jakarta, Jane's proud and shining career has accompanied the rise of China's e-sports industry.
And the hard work and pain accumulated behind the bright moments have also allowed more people to see the value and influence of e-sports outside the game.
The younger generation is terrifying, the new star burns his eyes.
In the 2020 League of Legends World Championship, 18-year-old Chen Zebin (Bin) won the first "five kills" in the history of the finals and won the runner-up of the World Championship in the first season of joining the LPL.
In the tennis arena, two "post-90s" players shine: Austrian player Tim won the US Open and became the first "post-90s" Grand Slam winner; Russian player Medvedev played in the ATP year-end finals. The world's top three won.
Under the copper and iron walls of the "Trident" of Federer, Nadal and Djokovic, the world's tennis is finally blowing a "new wind".
Sports spirit is passed on from generation to generation
Not long ago, Lang Ping had his 60th birthday.
If there were no epidemics, Lang Ping might have taken off the coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team at this time, but the missed appointment of the Tokyo Olympics made her "delay her retirement".
In 2020, Lang Ping conducted a closed training camp with the women's volleyball girls for 7 months.
This extremely difficult and extraordinary experience made Lang Ping and the Chinese women's volleyball team stronger.
"In the days when there is no competition at all and only boring training, everyone still encourages each other and does their best to practice every day. As long as you have a goal in your heart and have comrades around you, you have the motivation to persevere and fight." For the "Chinese Women's Volleyball Team" Lang Ping is most impressed by the four-character weight.
Women's volleyball, women's football, women's basketball-this year, China's women's three major goals have left moving moments.
"Who are we?" "Chinese Women's Basketball!" "For whom?" "Motherland!" At the beginning of the year, the cry of the Belgrade Women's Basketball Olympic Qualifying Tournament still lingers in our ears.
The women's basketball girl wrote "Go on China" and "Go on Wuhan" on the boots, as well as in her heart.
After a hearty three-game winning streak, the Chinese women's basketball team won the Olympic tickets with a fighting spirit, and also used a "energy transfer across time and space" to inject confidence and fighting spirit into the Chinese fighting against the epidemic.
The Chinese women's football team, which flew in the Vietnamese hemisphere, has undergone the test of centralized isolation and inability to train on the ground in Australia, and still qualified for the play-offs with an undefeated record.
The tough and sonorous roses are blooming in the winter of sports.
The chill is chilling, and Chinese sports go against the wind.
Under the epidemic, the two major competitions of the CBA and the Chinese Super League have been restarted one after another. Yao Ming and Chen Xuyuan have contributed to the two associations.
Anti-epidemic measures are adequate to ensure that the competition is exciting. The experience of resuming work in professional sports events in China has become a "template" worth copying and learning.
"It took me 35 years to become the head coach of the national football from a kid who can't play football." At the beginning of this year, the Chinese men's football "Tiejiajun" was officially launched.
Under the leadership of Li Tie, can the national football team, which has several naturalized players, realize the dream of the World Cup again?
At least, the second youngest marshal in the history of national football has enough ambition.
Also new is the "fat guy who can't play."
In June of this year, Liu Guoliang, chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, served as the chairman of the World Table Tennis Professional League Council, becoming a "pioneer" in the development of world table tennis.
The new role and new mission have given Liu Guoliang new challenges, but the national football is still the most reassuring existence.
In many world competitions at the end of the year, Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, Chen Meng, and Sun Yingsha won the championship for the national table tennis, and they are still as stable as the mountain under the eyes of the Japanese Army.
China's tolerance, the world moves
In Las Vegas, USA, Zhang Weili raised the five-star red flag on her shoulders.
In 2020, when there are only a handful of sports events, Zhang Weili's winning moments are even more precious.
As China's first UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) champion, Zhang Weili successfully defended the gold belt this year.
"A woman can do a lot of things, don't be defined. She can have many facets. She can be gentle, or brave, tough, and independent." In China, MMA is still a popular item.
But people like Zhang Weili, not only because she is "very able to fight", but also because of her persistence and tenacity during her growth, and the martial arts and spirit revealed in and out of the arena.
It has the ability to speak with a fist and the invisible strength of an elephant.
Faced with the provocation of the opponent's bad language, she responded with rational words and firm attitude.
Although it is impossible to enjoy the glory of raising the national flag and playing the national anthem in the arena, the desire to win glory for the country has been imprinted on this Chinese "fighting girl".
After successfully defending the title, her speech to audiences all over the world won applause for herself-"The epidemic is a matter for all mankind. I hope everyone will work together to defeat the epidemic!"
In the Forbes 2020 China Celebrity List released this year, there are two sports athletes shortlisted, one is Zhang Weili and the other is Wu Lei.
In 2020, in Spain on the other side of the ocean, the "Hope of the Village" Wu Lei experienced the double blow of the team's relegation and contracting new crown pneumonia.
"What we are experiencing now can be said to be the most difficult moment in life so far. Before going abroad, how can we think that the journey of studying abroad will withstand the test of life? Human beings are so small in front of nature, compared to the victory and defeat on the football field. The ranking is even more trivial. When the game restarts, I will enjoy the rebirth on the field. "Although there are still opportunities to compete in the top league, Wu Lei chose to stay with the Spanish team.
After experiencing the ups and downs of the new season, Wu Lei has finally ushered in a long-lost goal recently.
"No one can beat this Chinese in perseverance"-Spanish media once commented on Wu Lei.
This "lone seedling" of Chinese football abroad is still growing in the wind and rain, and continues to write his football life.
