What kind of basketball player is Mu?
Mu is an insider with a brilliant career in the history of basketball in China.
Mu Tiezhu, who is 2.28 meters tall and weighs 160 kg, has a shoe size of 52. He was a 1 inside player who was known as the first basketball center in Asia in China's basketball history, and was also the main center of our national basketball team in China at that time. He was born in Dongming County, Shandong Province. He was selected for jinan military area command Team, Bayi Men's Basketball Team and China Men's Basketball Team.
Help the men's basketball team win the Asian Basketball Championship, the 8th Asian Games and the 8th World Basketball Championship 1 1. In the competition with the world's top teams, Mu became a highlight of the China men's basketball team and helped the China men's basketball team!
He also won the third place in the basketball championship of the International Military Council. He also helped Bayi Men's Basketball Team win two Asian club championships, and then he briefly served as the head coach of Bayi Men's Basketball Team, making outstanding contributions to the development of basketball in China. Later, chinese basketball association awarded him the title of New China Basketball Outstanding Contribution Award.
As China's number one inside center in Asia, he has a huge body, but he has a good sense of basketball. He gave great support to China men's basketball team at both ends of attack and defense, and he became the most dependent player in China men's basketball team at the same time.
At the same time, media people or players in the history of basketball have made positive comments on Mu's contribution to basketball in China.
The media commented that Mu laid a very solid foundation for China to become the dominant player in Asia when he was a player, and his death was a great loss for China basketball.
And Yao Ming, the greatest star in my history and the current president of chinese basketball association, also spoke highly of his old-timers. He said, Mu and I are two big centers in China basketball, but if I mentioned the real big center before, I would think of Mu first. I respect and admire him. I had contact with Mr. Mu Lao, but I didn't talk to him because I was not qualified to talk to him at that time.
From Yao Ming's words, we can see that he has great respect for this old-timer, and gave a positive evaluation of his contribution to basketball in China.
As Mu's elder brother, teammate and basketball commentator, Zhang Weiping said that Mu is a teammate with great historical significance. He is the first generation center of China men's basketball team, and has made indelible contributions to our domination of Asia. So far, I think he is the best center in the world basketball.
From the words of the famous basketball player Zhang Weiping, we can see that Mu and he have been teammates of the national team for a long time, so he saw Mu's playing style and Mu's dominance in the inside, so Zhang Weiping's instructions were objective!
What is the career level of legendary center Mu Tiezhu in history?
In the long history of basketball in China, every generation of men's basketball team has a great center, among which the most well-known are the three activity walls, and this video will talk about Mu, the center who ruled Asian basketball in 1970s and 1980s. In the hearts of the older generation of fans, Mu's existence is of great significance. Yao Ming once said in a program that Mu Tiezhu is like an insurmountable mountain for their generation.
Mu, born in 1949, is from Heze, Shandong. He is 2.28 meters tall and serves as a center. 1972 joined jinan military area command basketball team, 1973 transferred to Bayi team, 1977 joined China national team. Before 19 years old, Mu Tiezhu had no contact with basketball. Because of his striking height, he was found at the Expo and recommended to the province. He was returned to the county because he had no foundation. Mu Tiezhu, who thought he would go home and continue farming, didn't expect the national team to extend an olive branch. At that time, the national team traded 20 old basketballs for Mu Tiezhu. At that time, a brand-new basketball was about 10 yuan, an ordinary worker's monthly salary was about 20~30 yuan, and 20 basketballs were still old, about 150 yuan. 1977, 28-year-old Mu officially entered the national team. The coach focused on his shooting, rebounding and passing under the basket, and his shooting was stable.
At that time, the height of 2.28 meters, the weight of 160KG, was a giant inside. He has a broad vision, is good at cooperating with outside players, and can hold the ball, pass the ball and pump fake with one hand, which has become the core of the team's attack. His height is the nightmare of the opposing players in defense. Mu's appearance opened a new era of basketball in China. He can score twenty or thirty points in almost every game. Everyone knows that Sun Jun scored 70 points in a single game. He scored 80 points in a match with Suzhou City Team, setting a basketball record in China. You know, there was no concept of three-pointers in the game at that time. Mu Tiezhu's inside dominance is unparalleled in Asia, so he has the reputation of being the first center in Asia. Many of our parents became fans because of him. Unfortunately, there were too few videos in those days.
1975, under the leadership of Zhang Weiping, China won the Asian Championship. In the 1977 Asian Championship, Mu and Zhang Weiping formed the double core of the China team. Mu Tiezhu is the core of the team in defense, while Zhang Weiping is the nightmare of the opponent in attack. This internal and external training helped China win the group stage, averaging more than 60 points per game, averaging more than 40 points per game in the final stage, and finally winning the championship in 9 games.
At the 1978 Asian Games, Mu's great power made the China men's basketball team even more powerful. In the final, they didn't give South Korea any chance, scored 20 points and won the Asian Games gold medal for the first time in history.
1978 Manila World Championships, this is the first time that China participated in the Men's Basketball World Championships. China is led by, and Zhang Weiping and Mu are the core of the team. It is worth mentioning that Zhang Weiping scored a total of 177 in seven games, averaging 25.3 points per game, ranking second in the championship scoring list and finally being selected as the best team in the championship. Mu Tiezhu performed well in this game, averaging 13 points, and scored 25 points against Dominica. In that game, China finally won by 1 1.
1in April, 979, an American team composed of star players from all American universities visited China. This is the first basketball game since the establishment of diplomatic relations between New China and the United States. China, the representative of Bayi Team, played two games with them. Everyone should have heard of the slogan of Bayi team, especially able to bear hardships and fight. During this period, the main players of Bayi Team were center Mu, shooter and Kuang Lubin, and defenders Wu Yishui and Xing Weining. These players were also the main force of the national team at that time. In other words, Bayi team is the national team.
In the face of Mu Tiezhu, who is physically stronger than his opponent, guarding the basket, other players played a small and quick spirit. At the beginning, the Bayi men's basketball team played well. Under our organization, Mu stormed inside and blossomed outside with Kuang Lubin. In the end, Bayi team defeated their opponents with 104-96, in which Mu each scored 25 points, 23 points, Kuang Lubin 14 points and Xing Weining 1 1 point. However, the American team refused to admit defeat and proposed to fight again. Bayi played again after Wu Xinshui was injured, and beat the United States 72-69 again. Bayi team defeated the American team twice, which made the American team lose face. Although it was only a friendly match, it was an exciting victory under the circumstances at that time. Four months later, the Washington Bullets, led by NBA Finals MVP Ansard, visited China, and the team's lineup in China was basically the main force. Bayi team once again staged a wonderful confrontation with it. Facing the bullet team with Hall of Fame players like Hayes and Ansel De, Bayi team really felt the strength of top professional teams and had no physical advantage. It can only rely on technology and tenacity to attack its opponents. After the game started, Bayi team used the previous tactics, organized an attack with Wu Yishui, and pinned Mu Tiezhu in the inside. Unexpectedly, the strength of this bullet team is completely beyond the imagination of Bayi team, and it is far less than the original American university team. 2.0 1 mianselde completely locked the 2.28m Mu Tiezhu. Under his defense, Mu Tiezhu was completely at a disadvantage in strength, agility and bounce, and even couldn't lift the ball. The defensive pressure of perimeter players is also far from unusual. Even so, Bayi team did its best, only one point behind in the first half.
By the second half, the Bayi team had a huge physical problem, and the gap in physical quality began to manifest. The hit rate drops, and the defensive quality becomes worse. In the end, Bayi team lost the game at 85: 96, losing 1 1 point. Such a small difference is almost unimaginable now. Among them, Guo Yonglin, the best scorer of Bayi Team, scored 28 points. Although I lost in the end, I won applause and respect. The Washington Bullets also played a game with the Shanghai team where Yao Ming's father was at that time. In the end, the Shanghai team lost to its opponent by more than 20 points.
In the Asian Championship of 1979, there was a game worth mentioning, which was the famous "Nagoya Black Whistle Incident". At that time, China was the giant of Asian basketball, which inevitably became the target of Bonzi and Japanese. In the rematch with the Japanese team, the referee sent all five starting players from China, including Mu, off the court, but China resisted the pressure and beat the opponent with rotation players. In the end, he won seven games and won three consecutive championships. And obtained the Olympic qualification of 1980. However, because China boycotted the 1980 Moscow Olympic Games, the China men's basketball team failed to appear in the Olympic Games at that time.
198 1, Mu helped Bayi win back the first Asian club championship and the 1983 Asian Championship. At the age of 34, Mu Tiezhu finished his last intercontinental race.
As the backbone of China basketball in 1970s and 1980s, he won numerous honors in his 20-year basketball career, which is also the myth of China basketball. 1987 After the 6th National Games, Mu retired at the age of 38. Behind countless flowers and glory, they left harm. Due to the heavy physical load and high-intensity training and competition, Mu Tiezhu's heart gradually became unbearable. In 2008, the well-known basketball star died of a heart attack, and the legend of the giant he wrote will be passed down from generation to generation.
Mu enjoys the treatment of deputy division head, his daughter works in a bank, and his son 1.8 meters is not an athlete.
Almost no one who loves sports and is over 50 doesn't know Mu Tiezhu.
As a "giant" in the basketball field of China, Mu is 2.2 meters tall and "rides the dust" in the basketball field.
Mu, once known as the No.1 center in Asia, was the pillar of China basketball in 1970s and 1980s, creating a legend of the times.
With Mu Tiezhu becoming a world-famous superstar, his private life and family have also become the talk of people after dinner.
Mu Tiezhu and his wife had a vigorous love. After marriage, they have a son and a daughter. None of his children "inherited" Mu Tiezhu's career. His daughter works in a bank now, and his son is tall, but he is not an athlete.
As a basketball player, Mu Tiezhu created many legends and became the idol of many basketball giants.
In his career, Mu Tiezhu undoubtedly reached the pinnacle. After retiring, Mu Tiezhu also worked as a coach for several years. Later, due to physical reasons, Mu officially retired from the Eighth Engineering Brigade in 2000.
Based on Mu Tiezhu's contribution to the country, Mu Tiezhu also enjoyed the treatment of deputy division level after retirement. He lives in the same building as many people in the Bayi Team, a veteran cadre of the General Political Department near the Summer Palace in Beijing.
Their lives are basically very comfortable and quiet. They play chess, cards and mahjong together, but Mu's level is not high and he doesn't play very often.
Mu Tiezhu likes outdoor activities best. Mountain climbing and fishing are his daily outdoor activities.
He likes driving, too, but Mu Tiezhu's height makes the car look small.
Even so, Mu Tiezhu can't give up driving.
A reporter once asked him how fast he drove. "You can go back and forth between Beijing and Harbin in one day," Mu Tiezhu joked.
After retirement, Mu Tiezhu rarely appeared in public. Because of his height and his status as a basketball player, Mu Tiezhu once played some roles.
He has appeared in three films, such as Idiot Manager, One-night Stand Singer and Black Corridor, and even acted in sketches and made advertisements.
However, Mu Tiezhu's "attempt" seems to be a drop in the bucket. In an era when the Internet is not so developed, Mu only played a small role in the film, making it almost impossible to recognize him.
After retiring, Mu Tiezhu basically disappeared from public view, and the news of his wife and children naturally rarely appeared in the news.
Mu Tiezhu and his wife Wang Zhuanhong have a pair of children after marriage. After retirement, the only source of family income is his and his wife's pension, which is almost 3000 yuan per month.
According to current standards, this is not comfortable for a famous sports star. At that time, Mu Rong, the eldest daughter, had already started looking for a job, which shared some financial pressure for her family.
In an interview with Mu Tiezhu before, he also mentioned his children: "I retired late, and when my children were young, they lacked opportunities for emotional input. So they are closer to their mother than I am, and they don't like what I say. "
In his words, he is guilty of his children, but the children have always respected their father.
Mu Tiezhu has always been the pillar of this family. When the two children grow up, they gradually have their own hobbies, but the hobby at home is definitely basketball.
Speaking of NBA, Mu Tiezhu and Wang Zhuanhong are very excited. They mentioned that their son likes Iverson of the 76th Team, while Mu Tiezhu and his wife and daughter like O 'Neill of the Lakers.
Today, his daughter Mu Rong is 1.73 meters tall and his son Mu Tong is 1.8 meters tall, but he is not an athlete.
Mu Tiezhu's children are very interested in sports and basketball, but when they grow up, they don't want to play basketball. Their present occupation has nothing to do with sports.
In this regard, Mu Tiezhu doesn't seem to care. He doesn't want his children to play basketball.
According to him, "They didn't inherit my sports genes. They usually play basketball to exercise, which is good. It is more useful to learn more knowledge. "
Mu Tong and Mu are very similar, especially their kindness, which is better than The Epiphany.
It is said that in the 1980s, a soldier in Zhuhai lost his wallet and wanted to borrow 60 yuan from Mu.
This is Mu Tiezhu's salary for one month at that time. Seeing that the little soldier was pitiful, he gritted his teeth, gave him a month's salary and kept a few dollars for himself.
It turned out that Mu Tiezhu didn't trust the wrong person, so they became friends. Little soldier visits Mu Tiezhu almost every year.
Like father, like son, when Mu Tong was a child, there was a heavy snow one winter, and all the people who were doing business outside the Eighth Workers' Brigade closed their stalls, leaving only one vendor who was still pushing a cart to sell in the snowstorm.
On the way home from school, Mu Tong said to Wang Zhuanhong, "Mom, give me some money. I want to buy Yuanxiao. " .
Wang Zhuanhong said puzzled, "Don't you never eat Yuanxiao? Why do you think of selling Yuanxiao? "
At a very young age, Mu Tong just pulled Wang Zhuanhong and said, "Mom, look at him. Such heavy snow is still on sale. Let's buy more. " As a result, they bought two big Yuanxiao, but Mu Tong didn't eat a bite.
Today, Mu Rong is 4 1 year old. After graduation, he continued his choice and still worked in the bank.
After graduating from Beijing Union University, Mu Tong chose to work in an enterprise and became a white-collar worker.
Although the children in Mu Tiezhu don't shine like their father in sports, they all live a happy and stable life.
Besides children, Mu Yu's love story was also vigorous at that time.
At that time, the encounter and love between the two were bold and warm.
Wang Zhuanhong was a crazy basketball fan when he was young. It happens that Mu's Bayi team often plays in the Capital Gymnasium, and those who like basketball often watch them play.
After watching it several times, Wang Zhuanhong fell in love with Mu Tiezhu, so he went back and wrote a "love letter" to Mu Tiezhu.
Mu has never encountered such a thing before, when the whole social environment was still relatively traditional and conservative. After receiving the letter, Mu Tiezhu took the initiative to give it to the organization.
The leaders of Bayi team, especially Zhang Zhongshu, the coach in charge of Bayi team training at that time, attached great importance to it.
Although everyone's thoughts are still conservative, they do not exclude free love. According to Zhang Zhongshu's memory, "We were afraid that someone would make a joke, so we specially found the women's basketball team and asked them to send two lesbians to the factory in Wang Zhuanhong. After this investigation, we found that there is a real person in the factory. After a simple investigation, we found that Comrade Wang Zhuanhong is excellent in all aspects. He is a literary activist in the factory and can sing and dance. "
After the preliminary "screening" by the leaders of Bayi Team, Mu He began to meet for the first time under the arrangement of the leaders.
Later, the memories of their acquaintance are still vivid, and the words inadvertently reveal the sweetness of that year.
Wang Zhuanhong mentioned that in 1978, China won the men's basketball championship in the Asian Games, and before that, Wang Zhuanhong had worshipped Mu Tiezhu very much.
Knowing that Mu Tiezhu won the prize and won honor for his country, Wang Zhuanhong wrote him a letter to congratulate him.
It is said that there were many people who wrote to Mu Tiezhu at that time, but Wang Zhuanhong didn't take it to heart, and then he forgot it.
Mu Tiezhu said: "At that time, it was very strict to find someone, depending on the political situation and family background. I don't know much about the content of Wang Zhuanhong's letter, or the leader sent someone to their factory for investigation after reading the letter. "
By the end of 1979, they got married. At that time, Mu spent all his fortune in 270 yuan.
Among them, 270 yuan bought a lot of furniture for the house assigned to them by the sports team, and the rest of the money was spent on drinks.
Their wedding was actually very simple. Mu Tiezhu said: At that time, there were no wedding rings, wedding photos, cream cakes and champagne. Isn't it incredible that marriage was not popular at that time?
On their wedding day, Mu's parents and family were not present, and the leaders of Bayi Team acted as "in-laws".
The woman was also taken away by Bayi team in a van. There are less than 100 people in the small auditorium of the sports team training hall.
The two specially put on suits, and after the leader finished speaking and bowed to the guests three times, the wedding was completed.
Every time Wang Zhuanhong recalls the beginning of this period, he always says, "I think this is really fate. At that time, so many people wrote to her and their leaders chose me. "
Their married life is also very happy and harmonious. Mu Tiezhu hardly ever quarreled with his wife. Even if it was a small quarrel, it was basically Mu Tiezhu who took the initiative to apologize to his wife.
Wang Zhuanhong feels particularly happy to marry Mu Tiezhu. Although he is tall and looks rough, he is a considerate and romantic man at home.
After marriage, Wang Zhuanhong considered that Mu Tiezhu's basketball training was very hard, so Wang Zhuanhong was basically responsible for all family affairs.
On one occasion, Wang Zhuanhong suffered from severe back pain. Mu Tiezhu not only took her to the hospital every other day for five months, but even learned to cook during this time, which deeply touched Wang Zhuanhong.
It is for this reason that the two talents can understand and support each other.
When Mu Tiezhu was a child, his family was poor. A family of five wandered around and had to beg for a living. When he 16 years old, his height has reached 2 meters.
Although Mu Tiezhu is very tall, he doesn't think it is something to be proud of. He also said before: "I didn't know what medicine I took when I was a child, and I grew so tall."
When asked how tall he is, he almost never answers seriously. He often talks nonsense, sometimes it is 2. 1 meter, sometimes it is 2 meters, and even when he is angry, he only says 1.8 meters.
In the 1960s, when the Shandong Provincial Sports Commission was selecting sports talents, it was very unexpected to find Mu who sold chickens in the vegetable market.
Because of the high altitude, the staff can recognize Mu Tiezhu at a glance in the crowd.
Immediately, Mu was recommended to the Shandong Provincial Sports Commission as a special sports talent, but not long after, because he did not receive formal professional sports training, he could not represent the provincial basketball team in a short time.
However, because China's sports industry just started to develop in the last century, the height like Mu is almost rare in China, so it was discovered by the State Sports Commission and physical training was officially started.
Yu Bangji, then director of the Sports Commission of Huangshi City, Hubei Province, was in charge of the zero-based Mu Tiezhu that many people didn't want.
After practicing basketball with his teacher for about one and a half years, Mu Tiezhu entered Bayi Team with the number 15, and officially started the basketball road.
As a center, Mu Tiezhu is so tall that almost no one can move him.
Every game, Mu Tiezhu can basically get 20 or 30 points.
1979, American college students came to China to play a friendly match, and happened to meet the Bayi team led by Mu and lost twice. Mu and Bayi team also caused quite a stir in the basketball world at that time.
A few years later, Bayi played for China and won the Asian Club Championship. Mu Tiezhu is called "half a basket" by the media, which is popular all over Asia.
Mu Tiezhu's basketball years can be described as infinite scenery.
It is said that when he was the most "popular", he went to Donglaishun for dinner. Hundreds of meters from Wangfujing intersection to Donglaishun were jammed with fans, and it would take a long time to get out.
After retiring, Mu Tiezhu could not coach in the basketball team because of his bad heart, but his love for basketball was reflected in all aspects of his life.
He gives every advice to young players, discusses strategies and tactics with coaches, and pays attention to NBA and CBA with his family. Basketball has penetrated into his life.
In September 2008, a famous athlete Mu died of a heart attack in Beijing at the age of 59, and a basketball era named after Mu ended brilliantly.
But in fact, the so-called "genius" in basketball did not attract much attention from the beginning and became a hero.
Mu Tiezhu, who stays in the memory of fans, is often the hero who dominates the basketball court.
However, from a basketball blind to a basketball leader, Mu Tiezhu did go through many unknown tests, both physically and psychologically.
