Drunk, turn, break through, brakes, shoot ... On the morning of August 11, a cycling game was underway on the basketball court of Guangzhou Disabled Persons' Sports Center. Basketball constantly hit the "嘭嘭" sound of the ground, the wheelchair quickly changed the sound of friction, and the shouts between the players intertwined. Under the slogan of "hard training and glory for the country", the situation was very fierce.

This is a scene of the daily training of the Guangdong Women's Wheel Chair Basketball Team. This group of girls, the oldest 32 years old, the youngest is less than 17 years old. At 365 days a year, they had closed training for more than 300 days, and an average of more than 400 shots per day. Sweat, blood bubbles, and calluses witnessed their long process of "breaking cocoon into butterflies". They insisted on the day after day and chased the "basketball dream" in their hearts.

Basketball girls on the wheelchair are from inferiority to self -confidence

Wheelchair basketball is a sport carried out aimed at lower limb amputation, pediatric paralysis or spinal injury personnel. It first originated in 1946 and was listed as a official Olympic Games in 1960. In the 1980s, wheelchair basketball was introduced to China.

"In the early 1980s, men's wheelchair basketball began to be carried out in China as the earliest rehabilitation project. After the success of Beijing’ s Olympics in 2001, the national women's wheelchair basketball project was launched in 2005. "National women's wheelchair basketball team, Guangdong women's wheelchair basketball team coach Chen Qi said.

The wheelchair basketball team focuses on the upper limb training. The day after day, the training of the players is full of calluses.

Because of the fierce confrontation, the rollover is a commonplace, and the players are accustomed to it.

Compared with people playing basketball, the growth of wheelchair basketball players is obviously more rugged and difficult.

Chen Qi pointed out that the first is the selection of athletes. Most of the wheelchair basketball players were "half -way monks" after injury, instead of being trained since childhood. They were uneven in the understanding of basketball knowledge and basketball skills.

Another difficulty is the control of the wheelchair. Because the competition wheelchair does not brake, the start -stop is controlled by the athlete's hands. How to turn the cold wheelchair into a "part of the body" needs to go through the process of repeated reinforcement.

"For example, by climbing, loading, aerobic exercise, 5 kilometers (endurance running) and other methods to improve the handling of wheelchairs, thereby reaching a state of man, car, and ball." He said.

After a long time, the girls' hands were covered with blisters, picked the blisters into blood bubbles, and then sharpened into thick calluses.

"This process is really torment, just get along. If you give up halfway, I feel that it is not just basketball, but also a kind of tough spirit." Lin Suiling, the captain of the wheelchair basketball team, said.

Lin Suiling was born in Heyuan in 1991. When she was a few months old, her legs were disabled due to spinal ash. She could only walk with a cane since she was a child.

At the age of 17, through the selection of the local disabled, Lin Suiling came to the wheelchair basketball team of the Disabled Sports Center in Guangzhou to see the disabled people sitting in a wheelchair chasing and grabbing on the court. I want to try too! "

She admits that she has encountered particular difficulties. At first, for more than half a year, she couldn't find the feeling of shooting anyway, changing the way, and made her doubt whether she was not suitable for basketball. "The coach's guidance and the encouragement of teammates helped me adjust my mentality. Fortunately, with them, I didn't give up." She said.

Today, she is shining on the field, and she is no longer a little girl who is still blushing.

Looking back at the sports career in recent years, Lin Suiling said that the wheelchair basketball not only brought her honor, but also more importantly. "Confidence is the most important. With confidence, everything will be full of motivation."

At present, a total of 13 women's wheelchair basketball teams in Guangdong Province are trainers, 5 of which are old athletes, and new players account for a larger proportion. "These five old athletes are the main force of the national women's wheelchair basketball team. By using old -fashioned new players, we integrate the experience, consciousness and technology of the old players into daily training, thereby driving the new players to make progress together." Chen Qi said.

Last year, in the Tokyo Paralympic Women's wheelchair basketball game, the Guangdong wheelchair women's basketball team won the silver medal with the Guangdong team, creating the best record in history, and also allowed the Chinese wheelchair basketball to stand on the Olympic podium for the first time. At the 11th National Paragraphic Games, the Guangdong Women's Team won the gold medal and successfully defended the title; the Guangdong men's team also defeated the Beijing team with eight consecutive championships and won the first championship in the history of the National Games.

The predecessor's record also inspired young players.

"It's too handsome to play the game! They can persist for more than ten years. I want to learn from them, and maybe they can become as good as they are." Said Zuo Peire, who was under 17 years old, said.

A car accident in 2018 allowed Zuo Pei as a high -level paraplegia, who was only 12 years old, and could only rely on wheelchair operations. "At that time, the whole person was in the darkness and was very confused. Occasionally, when he went out, facing the strange vision of others, he just wanted to escape quickly, and didn't want to face it." She said.

Zuo Peireyin practiced free throw alone

In 2020, with the mentality of trying it, Zuo Pein came to Guangzhou from Qingyuan and began to contact the wheelchair basketball project. Because it was too hard, she moved the idea of ​​wanting to give up several times.

"The intensity is too great, and I feel that she can't bear it." She said, when emotional came up, how others persuaded her not to listen, or even refused training. "Think about it now, it’ s very wrong. "She said that in the process, the encouragement and enlightenment of coaches and teammates made her gradually understand the matter and learn to persist.

After the training, the coaches and players drink tea and chat in the dormitory corridor

In the past two years, Zuo Peire has grown more and more that the wheelchair basketball has brought himself. "In the body, from being unable to perceive urination, it feels a bit now; in terms of mentality, I am confident and cheerful, and I am not afraid of watching even with others." She said.

What's more valuable is the sincere friendship between teammates. "If you do n’t understand the training, the captain will teach me. I am sick and high in the middle of the night. She also accompanies me to the hospital and always take care of me. Now we live in a dormitory. I will tell her any emotions. Enlighten me, just like my sister, "she said.
