Yuan Story | Shenzhen girl Song Yijia and a middle school women's basketball team

One afternoon in May, I met Song Yijia, who came to train after class at the stadium of the Second Experimental School in Shenzhen.

In the campus basketball industry, Shenzhen Second Experimental School is famous across the country. As of this year, in the Guangdong Middle School Basketball Championship, the school's women's basketball team has achieved 14 consecutive hegeons, that is, the championship has not been settled for 14 consecutive years.

That afternoon, the junior high school women's basketball players on the field are doing the training of offensive and defensive conversion. In a few seconds, the combination of the three people should rush from half the game to the other half of the game, and then pass the ball through continuous passing, and complete the attack at the fastest time. You need to retreat immediately, and complete the full back running.

The speed of sprinting, the sharp sound between the shoes and the wooden floor, and even feel the floor is slightly vibrating. The training intensity was very strong, and their faces were obviously exhausted, but they were extremely focused.

Such training may be accustomed to 15 -year -old Song Yijia.

On May 6, 2022, the list of the winners of the 2022 Cai Chongxin Basketball Scholarship was officially announced. Cai Chongxin Basketball Scholarship is a public welfare project. It aims to choose a suitable young adolescent adolescent adolescent adolescent young people who love basketball and are determined to become outstanding basketball players to study and study with American peers.

After the list was announced, it quickly became a hot news. Many people who care about Chinese basketball believe that those who can be selected for this list are the opportunity to lead the potential for Chinese basketball. They represent the future of Chinese basketball.

In this list of 6 people, the basketball road of the basketball son Gong Xiaobin, Gong Xiaobin, and the mixed -race player Feng Ao, etc., have received a lot of attention early, so their selection is not surprising. Until the appearance of this name -the height of other selected players is above 1.90, the highest Tosinan has a height of 2 meters and 10 meters (his mother is also a former female basketball player) -Song Yijia from Shenzhen Second Experimental School, Data show that height is only 1.68 meters, which is the only girl in this list and the only Shenzhen child. In addition, parents do not have basketball -related backgrounds. They are student athletes who are purely cultivated from the campus basketball system.

Basketball is a giant's movement. Many people leave a message below the news: "I can be selected at 1.68 meters tall. How strong is she?"

This question may have the answer when I interviewed in Shenzhen Second Experimental School.

During the after -class training that day, I saw that in a attack, although Song Yijia had a good opportunity, I chose to pass the ball to another player with a better position. At such a high -speed operation Assists, you can see that her ball dealers and ease are ease. In an introduction video, a rope was tied to her waist, dragging a large tire to run on the street.

At the Cai Chongxin Basketball Scholarship Training Camp, Song Yijia is one of the only two girls. When playing the whole field, she often has to play boys. But in the competition with the boy, she did not fall down at all, and proved herself with tough defense. "When a boy sees the right place with me, he takes the initiative to go to the ball and want to play. I saw him taller than me, the dribble point is relatively high, and the dribble interval is relatively long. Go, not to prevent him from making breakthroughs with his body. "In the end, Song Yijia successfully defended. She has a perseverance.

Song Xiaobo, a Chinese women's basketball team, commented on Song Yijia: "Although height is not tall, she is very hard, her physical fitness, strong confrontation ability, and comprehensive technology."

After watching this training and talking to Song Yijia, I actually broke my imagination of campus basketball. Professional athletes are a difficult road, especially for basketball players, in addition to having the physical conditions and talents visible to the naked eye, it also takes a few years to train and invest in full -time. Under this basis of this concept, people generally believe that only when entering the sports school or professional echelon can they be regarded as a real athlete. The campus basketball is more like a small trouble, or "secondary existence", because the ultimate goal of most campus basketball players is not to survive by professional basketball.

But you can see these girls, including Song Yijia, really do their best to train themselves, and ask themselves with very strict standards. They have finished cultural classes like other students every day, and they have to go to the court to train for 3 hours. They often need to go out to play or practice on weekends.

What is such a hard training?

After being selected, Song Yijia has been interviewed by many media. For such a talented player, media reporters will ask in the same way: "Song Yijia, will you go to a career?" In fact, the answer is contained in Song Yijia's choice of school selection. She finally chose Cai Chongxin's alma mater -New Jersey’s State Lawrence Wil School, a high school that is not known for its basketball and is known for its round -table teaching. Song Yijia said that she also hopes to go hand in hand on the two roads of basketball and studies. "I like the atmosphere of basketball very much, and I like to compare with others. However, to play careers, it may be a completely different state of competition with student athletes. "

For this group of girls, hard training is not just to impact the professional arena. The purpose and pursuit of their basketball may not be the same as that of our original imagination. In the eyes of many people, there is a utilitarian view, that is, the purpose of developing campus basketball is to contribute more professional athletes to the Chinese basketball industry, and then achieve good results in various events. But in fact, the biggest beneficiaries of campus basketball should be the student athlete themselves. They get happiness and inspiration from basketball is the greatest value and significance. Basketball and studies are not clear. This is the concept of campus basketball. From Song Yijia, in fact, we can see an educational story about campus basketball.

When you really enter Ershuo's stadium, you will find that the most striking on the court is not the players who are sweating on the field, but the coach Wang Xiaowei standing on the sidelines. Although she is not high, she is known as "iron -handed coach". She is the founder of this team and is now the director of the Sports Center of Shenzhen Second Experimental School. If the quality of training cannot be satisfied, she will immediately stop the whistle and pointed out the problem mercilessly.

But under the court, you can always see Wang Xiaowei's smile. "When I saw me for the first time, President Huang questioned my height." In 2006, Wang Xiaowei graduated from the Training Department of the School of Physical Education of China Normal University. teacher. Compared with other well -known sports colleges, Wang Xiaowei does not have much advantage. But one of her proposals made the then principal Huang Xianfu's eyes shine- "I want to form a women's basketball team here." Wang Xiaowei eventually became the only sports teacher selected at the time.

Wang Xiaowei itself is a college student trained on campus basketball. She knows how much basketball has played too much on her. Now as an educator, she feels that even as a sports teacher, she has her own educational mission. At that time, she wrote a planning book and handed it to the principal's office. The idea was to set up a women's basketball team, which would change the sports atmosphere of the entire school. It will also affect the growth of students to some extent.

This plan touched President Huang. As a result, Wang Xiaowei, who just graduated, became the coach of a women's basketball team, and was also the only coach. She had to start from scratch to gradually form a team. But at that time, few people were optimistic about Wang Xiaowei, and some even said that engaging in a women's basketball team was a bottomless hole, and may not be able to make a name for more than ten years. What Wang Xiaowei thought was that she wanted to make girls who love basketball had more opportunities.

At the beginning, there were no players, and Wang Xiaowei returned to his alma mater Suzhou No. 2 Middle School and recruited a group of schoolgirls. At the same time, she also went to various schools in Shenzhen to be a scout, digging a group of talented small players in the local area. Chen Jiamin, who is now the head coach of the secondary junior high school, was seen by Wang Xiaowei in a primary school in Futian. Chen Jiamin, who had not graduated in elementary school at that time, took the bus to Ershi after school every day and followed Wang Xiaowei to start training.

Although the team was built, Wang Xiaowei encountered a lot of difficulties. For example, at that time, there were very few women's basketball teams on campus. Many competitions were qualified to participate in the competition. Either find the team in society or fight with the school staff.

Wang Xiaowei said that the first three years of the team was unforgettable for her. Women's basketball is relatively niche, and few people pay attention to them. Moreover, basketball is strong. In fact, many parents do not agree with their children to join the team. In this less recognized project, the player's talent is not particularly high, and the basic skills are not very solid, Wang Xiaowei invests in full time and energy to accompany and train. "In such a long period of pain, no one can accompany you in countless lonely days, and can only rely on you to grow. This is a test for the players and the coach." In the game, Wang Xiaowei almost cried and commanded the player. Because the gap is too big.

But for Wang Xiaowei, the past campus basketball experience gave her a lot of valuable wealth. "As an athlete, there is only one belief in your mind, that is, the desire to win. This is irrelevant and unrelated. It is difficult for you to defeat your opponents. The key is to defeat yourself. " The rainy season in Shenzhen was particularly long, and the school court at that time was an open -air "wind and rain field". Once it rains, Wang Xiaowei will adapt to local conditions. Any conditions are used to allow children to do various targeted training in similar training scenarios. "In the past few years, I have been growing up with children."

What makes Wang Xiaowei has a sense of accomplishment that the little player does grow every day. From the beginning, only three steps will be played, and will be replaced with three steps to the left and right hands. Progress has become a reason for Wang Xiaowei to persist.

On the court, Wang Xiaowei proudly pointed me to several female coaches on the side of the field. "You see, it is Wei Shengnan, the coach of the high school women's basketball team, and my first student. Chen Jiamin ... They are all players who come out of Ershi. Now they return to Ershi to be a coach, and they devoted themselves to the career of the campus basketball like me. "In the third year of the establishment of the team, the Ergan women's basketball team began to play well. At first, they won the Shenzhen championship, and later won the Guangdong Province's championship. Later, they also played a nationwide event. There are also universities to pay attention to this ordinary high school, which focuses on basketball, focusing on the good seedlings in this team.

Chen Jiamin later admitted to Beijing Normal University with a basketball specialty. After graduation, he returned to Ershi Teacher and became a group of coaches of a group of schoolgirls and students. As a person who came, her suggestion for Xiao Song was that he didn't need to consider playing career too early. She knows that the road to professional basketball is too narrow for girls. "If you go to the career too early, miss the 4 -year time of college, and you will find that you only have the experience of playing, and you can only find a job related to playing. And the time for girls to play for a few years is just a few years. After going to college, there is a college diploma, you can also engage in other favorite occupations, such as banks, business management, etc. "."

In Wang Xiaowei's view, the most important concept of coaching a high school women's basketball team is actually comprehensive. "If you do the top in sports, of course, there are very professional parts. But for these unqualing student athletes, then the training of input is not only to allow them to enjoy the fun from high -intensity competitions, but also The important thing is to get a sound personality in a collective movement such as basketball. "

Song Yijia stood out in a fierce competitive training camp. Chen Jiamin thought that an important reason was Song Yijia's comprehensiveness -on the first night of the training camp, the first arrangement was English testing. Song Yijia recalled the content in the paper, and said with a smile, "It's easy."

Many people asked Wang Xiaowei how to balance the conflict between children's academic and basketball? Wang Xiaowei said that she is now more willing to use the words "coexistence" to contact the two things of academics and basketball. "In fact, there are so many people in everyone. Many things are unbalanced, and what they can do is to share, that is, maintaining efficiency and focusing as much as possible in a limited time, and even more effort than professional players. "So as long as he is on the court, Wang Xiaowei is an out -of -the -box" iron -fist coach ".

When talking to Wang Xiaowei, you can easily be infected by her firmness. She has two children, both caesarean section. Each time she gave birth, she insisted on resting until the last week before the child was born. And when the child was full of full moon, he returned to his post. Once he even took the children who had just been full of full moon to lead the team to the field. Before she had no children, she lived in school with her husband, just for the convenience of training in the morning and evening. After having a child, they moved out of the school, but they would take the child to the school on the weekend. The children crawled on the side of the court, and they took players training on the court. For 14 years, Wang Xiaowei has almost no complete weekend and holidays.

And the Ergan women's basketball team also has an important tradition, that is, "Pharaoh's Chicken Soup Class" every Monday, with players set a week's goal every week, and re -inventory on Friday. There are many summaries about the team on the whiteboard of Wang Xiaowei's office, as well as analysis of each player's technical characteristics. "Until now, I open my eyes every day, which is around these dozens of children. This is my most important thing. I study this matter every day. I believe I can do this." And Wang Xiaowei was most pleased to be most pleased It is that these children have never asked for leave because of lazy emotions. Even if they are physiological, they will stand on the sidelines. "I have always had a concept. You must love this teacher very much, and you will take her class well."

▲ Wang Xiaowei, who arranged tactics on the sidelines.

Wang Xiaowei said that when choosing the material, the first criterion she chose was whether the child loved the basketball from the heart. Therefore, every recruitment of one child must let the child submit a resume first. "This is not only to let children set a norm concept, but more importantly, I want to see their love from the resume." Wang Xiaowei hoped that he could influence the fate of a group of girls who love basketball. "Sports can help in a sense, so that these children go more calm in life and career."

If everything goes well, after the middle school entrance examination, Song Yijia will start his own trip to study in the United States.

The Ergan women's basketball team will also usher in a batch of student players. Most of the old players will continue their basketball dreams in universities across the country. The new players come to Ershi with Qing Shi and ignorance and welcome the upcoming transformation.

But it should be that Wang Xiaowei will stand on the sidelines and affect a group of basketball girls again.
