A CCTV celebrity once commented on Hu Weidong of the 94** generation of the men's basketball team:He plays mostly by talent, he doesn't need to work too hard, his daily training is just to bring out his talent
Indeed, in the era of the Chinese men's basketball team, no one can hide Hu Weidong's brilliance, his three-point shot, or stabilize the situation, or turn things aroundHowever, who knows that Hu Weidong is not only short-sighted, but also astigmatism?
So, how did Hu Weidong overcome his own shortcomings and become the "three-point king"?What about his family life?
Hu Weidong. Hu Weidong went from an unknown player to the "Hu Sanpao" and "Chinese Jordan" in the mouth of fans, and he paid a lot of hardships.
Hu Weidong. He was born in Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province, and because his parents were both basketball players, he was associated with basketball at a very young age.
Everyone knows that Kobe Bryant often sees the stars at 4 a.m., actuallyHu Weidong is not bad, starting training at 5 o'clock every day
Bryant. When Hu Weidong was 9 years old, he ran to the enlightenment coach Zhou Zhaohua and said".Coach, I want to play basketball, destined to become the closest partner with basketball in this life.
Hu Weidong. Many fans are amazed by Hu Weidong's three-point shooting skills, but he thinks that talent accounts for at most 20%, and the remaining 80% is inseparable from hard practice.
In order to improve the three-point shooting rate, Hu Weidong often starts a group of 10 three-point Xi after high-intensity running and confrontation, when his physical strength reaches the limit, and if he wants to finish, he must hit 10 in a row.

In Hu Weidong's eyes, the three-point shot practiced in this state is more stable in the game, and this is alsoA big challenge to my own psychological pressure
Those who know Hu Weidong know how difficult it is for him to do this, after allHis eyesight is only 04, which is much lower than his shooting percentage
Hu Weidong. Regarding Hu Weidong's myopia, there were also jokes on the fieldHe once treated a missed goal as a goal, and didn't react until he saw the opponent take the ball and break fast
Hu Weidong. Speaking of which, some people may have questionsSince Hu Weidong's eyesight is not good, wearing ** glasses can solve the problem perfectly？Hu Weidong wanted to do the same, but the actual situation did not allow it.
Hu Weidong. In addition to his myopia, he has 350-degree astigmatism, one sees things blurrily, the other sees things ghosted, he also tried to play with glasses, the advantage is that he can see clearly, the disadvantage is that he is "dizzy" all the time.
Hu Weidong. In addition, Hu Weidong is also accompanied by his injuries, and he has two scars on his right footIn order to remove the 7 bone fragments in his body, he performed two surgeries, and until now, there is still one bone fragment that has not been removed
When playing basketball, there will inevitably be limb collisions, and in severe cases, there will be fractures, which will produce bone fragments, which will swim in the body, and if they get stuck in the joints, they will not even be able to move.

Later, Hu Weidong solemnly preserved those broken bones, which are the best medals of his basketball careerBut in his eyes, there is something more precious than this, that is, his wife and daughter
Hu Weidong. Hu Weidong's basketball career does not need his parents to worry at all, but he has always been emotionally blankUntil the age of 27, he was still single, which made the old couple worry every day
Hu Weidong's father chose a career after retiring and has been in the position of directorIn order to solve his son's life events, he can only cheekily fight his friend's daughter
Hu Weidong. At that time, Hu Weidong was 27 years old, and his friend's daughter Yu Hui was only 20, and he was still a medical student who had not graduated, and he had no idea of falling in love for the time being, soAfter the two met, there was no follow-up
Later, Hu's father also said frankly that he thought there was no drama, butI have to sigh at the wonder of fate
Hu Weidong. In 1998, Hu Weidong's father fell ill and chose to be hospitalized, but he didn't expect Yu Hui to happen to be Xi thereTheir love began to heat up there
Hu Weidong. Because Yu Hui knows little about sports, he doesn't know that Hu Weidong is a prominent figure of the 94** generation, so her performance is very ordinary, but her colleagues all looked at Hu Weidong with excitement on their faces.
Once Hu Weidong went to school to pick her up on a date, and was surrounded by classmates on the inside and outside of the three floorsLater, Yu Hui checked Hu Weidong and found out that he was so famous.
Yu Hui. The days of love were full of sweetness, but they were happier for a lifetime, so they decided to get married in 2000.
At that timeHu Weidong also wants to show his strength at the Sydney Olympics to add luster to the wedding, but with a 17-point lead, he was overtaken by the opponent with 6 consecutive three-pointers.
Hu Weidong. Later, Hu Weidong asked the coach to let him defend the opponent's strong general, but he was refused, which also led to the failure of the men's basketball team in the end.
Hu Weidong has indescribable love and gratitude for his wife, for so many years, he was busy with the game, he didn't get involved in family affairs, and the children didn't care, butYu Hui didn't complain at all
Hu Weidong and Yu Hui.
Whenever Hu Weidong came back, she would always cook a big table of good dishes to help him recuperate, what Hu Weidong will never forget is the braised pork ribs made by Yu Hui.
After returning to the team,Hu Weidong often praised his wife's cooking skills in front of his teammates, which also led to many teammates coming to eat, one or two meals don't matter, but this word of mouthEvery weekend, Hu Weidong's home is "overcrowded".
Hu Weidong and Yao Ming.
For Hui, she doesn't know basketball at all, but she is Hu Weidong's "good military advisor".When Hu Weidong led the team to 20 consecutive wins, she would remind him to think about the difficulties even harder.
At that time, many people talked about heroes by "achievements", but Yu Hui had a different opinionShe often tells Hu Weidong to live and compete with a good attitudeIt is this tenderness that makes Hu Weidong useful for life.
Yu Hui and his daughter.
His wife's thoughtfulness made Hu Weidong feel even more guiltyHe is the heart of the team and eats and lives in the team most of the timeI used to be able to go home once a week, but if I had a game, I might not see each other for a month.
Hu Weidong. Sometimes Yu Hui will also make fun of him, calling him "Director Hu", and asking him to give him a schedule, which is also convenient for them to make an appointmentEvery time the two quarreled, Hu Weidong was always the first to admit his mistake, and then solemnly apologized to his wife
Hu Weidong. The affection between the two is also the envy of teammates, and Hu Weidong has a Xi that cannot be shaken, that is, as long as he is not by his wife's sideIt must be prepared three times a day in the morning, noon and evening, and this move often makes the teammates who "eat" ** "angry".
Hu Weidong. Later, after having a daughter, he did the same, calling his daughter three ** every day, Hu Weidong's daughter is also worthy of his height, she was already more than 1m tall when she was only 2 years old.
In addition to taking care of his family, Hu Weidong also takes care of every player.

On November 27, 2005, he chose to retireInterestingly, a year before he retired, he was already the head coach of Jiangsu Nangang.
Hu Weidong. At that time, his "dual identity" had both advantages and disadvantagesIf he has to make plans and train at the same time, it's definitely something hectic to do.
To solve this problem, he deliberately set up three assistant coaches in the team, who are responsible for fitness, technique and injury.
Hu Weidong. When Hu Weidong was coaching, there was a characteristic in the team - "no big or small"., whether it is a player of his age or a player under the age of 18, they all call him "boss".
All this seemed very happy to the rather righteous Hu Weidong, who was based in Nanjing at that time, and had to train in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and many players in Suzhou and other places could only "have a home and could not return."
Hu Weidong. In order to make them feel the warmth of family,Hu Weidong invited them to his home for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, coupled with Yu Hui's cooking skills, can always make them feast.
