How much does Deng Chao, who has repeatedly challenged Chinese basketball, love this sport?

  On September 29th, Beijing time on the evening of September 26th, the Chinese women’s basketball team took revenge at the 2018 Women’s Basketball World Cup. The Japanese women’s basketball team advanced to the quarterfinals. On the evening of the 27th, the famous movie star Deng Chao posted a Weibo with hindsight. The content was simple and continued his usual funny style: "I decided to join the Chinese women’s basketball team."

  This is the 26 days after Deng Chao once again mentioned Chinese basketball on Weibo. The last time was on the evening of September 1. After Deng Chao witnessed the Chinese men’s basketball team taking revenge on the Iranian men’s basketball team at the Asian Games and regaining the Asian Games championship after a lapse of 8 years, he excitedly wrote on Weibo: "Chinese men’s basketball team, great!"

  But instead of simply praising the men’s basketball team, Deng Chao directly announced on the evening of the 27th that he would join the Chinese women’s basketball team, which is obviously impossible. Deng Chao’s decision was also "disliked" by many women’s basketball players. His short height and age made Deng Chao an unwanted uncle, but Deng Chao’s decision still shocked the basketball world. Even the official Weibo of the Chinese Basketball Association commented on Deng Chao and said: "The shooting posture is very beautiful, I am optimistic about you." Deng Chao’s good brother, CCTV sports commentator Yu Jia, joked: "Heavy! Official announcement: film and television male stars give up the promotion of new films to join the Chinese women’s basketball team!" The Weibo was also praised by Deng Chao.

  But Deng Chao’s decision to join the Chinese women’s basketball team did not seem too surprising, because Deng Chao, a crazy basketball fan, has long been unwilling to be just a fan. In the past, Deng Chao was a fan of Yao Ming, who laughed, cried, and was moved by Yao Ming’s game. After a dinner with Yao Ming, Deng Chao called everyone for almost two hours after the meal, and instantly replaced the screen saver with his and Yao Ming’s, smiling from ear to ear. Yao Ming impressed Deng Chao even more because of his humor. During the first meeting with Deng Chao, Yao Ming said to Deng Chao: "Although I will say hello to you first, I must be honest. I prefer to watch your daughter-in-law’s plays."

  At the same time, Deng Chao also invited Yao Ming to attend the wedding. In order not to embarrass Yao Ming, who refused to eat shark fin advertisements, the wedding party was specially cancelled. When Yao Ming retired, Deng Chao once said very sadly: "Sometimes I also hope that Yao Ming can get better and go on the court to play. After Yao Ming was injured, I left a more profound memory. Sometimes I really want to give him my legs and let him continue to play." However, after Yao Ming retired, Deng Chao, who lost the spiritual pillar of basketball, did not lose his love for basketball.

  In fact, Deng Chao has also been very talented since he was a child. Although he is not a basketball talent, he has a talent for sports. In primary school, Deng Chao won the first place several times in the "Miao Miao Cup", a famous sports competition for primary school students in Jiangxi Province, and became the school’s key training target. In college, NBA made Deng Chao obsessed with basketball. During his studies in Chinese opera, he liked to play basketball when he had nothing to do, and he played it for a day. However, Deng Chao’s playing style at that time was not technical. His classmates described him as "Sakuragi Blossom Road", and Deng Chao himself said: "Playing is like wrestling, but I jump faster than others, so I am usually a small forward."

  In 2008, when "Yitian Dragon Slayer" was filmed in Wudang Mountain, Deng Chao did not forget to play basketball, and Yi Jianlian and Zhu Fangyu were also "snared" by him on the friend list. After that, Deng Chao also played with the former women’s basketball national player Xu and others.

  Usually, Deng Chao likes to play basketball like every basketball enthusiast, and often appears on the wild court to play with passers-by. He has a certain level of shooting, and his good figure and training for a long time also make him have good athletic ability. In late August this year, the 39-year-old Deng Chao also posted a short video on Weibo of himself easily touching the backboard with a small run-up, and modestly said: "I’m old", as if "showing off" my sword is not old. The comment area’s "convinced" also revealed Deng Chao’s 39-year-old body and 18-year-old heart.

  Do you think Deng Chao is just "challenging" netizens? Obviously not, Deng Chao, who has a good relationship with many players and media people in the basketball circle, has had many challenges with Internet celebrity Guo Allen. In the summer of 2016, Deng Chao played on the outdoor court with excellent feel. In addition to 6 consecutive free throws, he also picked up the ball after losing the seventh free throw and hit the basket. After posting the video on Weibo, Deng Chao said proudly: "NBA inform me to participate in next year’s draft. I don’t know which team will be selected in the first place?" Unexpectedly, as soon as Weibo was posted, Guo Allen gave Deng Chao a heart-wrenching message: "You guess 16, you can’t choose before you reach the age, brother". The lie was exposed by Guo Allen, and Deng Chao also directly challenged Guo Allen: "Guo Allen, dare to go one-on-one with me?" From then on, Deng Chao also began to "challenge" Chinese basketball and even the entire basketball circle.

  In November 2016, Deng Chao pasted the book of "Dream Team" on his face as a mask, and said on Weibo: "Forward this basketball god, and Jordan will be possessed from now on. Dribble as fast as the wind, pass the ball and assist, shoot the ball, and dunk the basic skills." It has become the "god of basketball".

  A year later, Deng Chao’s hard work has been able to complete the split after the basket is lowered, and in May 2017, he posted a video of his single-handed split, and he also said that he was wearing sandals, and he only started playing basketball in his sophomore year. This is not over yet. Deng Chao once again "challenged" Guo Allen, and he said in the comment area, "What about Guo Allen?" In this regard, Guo Allen was also very afraid, "Brother Chao heard that you are looking for me to dunk, and your dunk is so strong that I am afraid to send my own. I am practicing hard now. How will we compare in ten years?" Guo Allen replied to Deng Chao like this.

  Don’t look at Deng Chao has been "challenging" Chinese basketball, but he is not on a whim, as a basketball enthusiast, Deng Chao’s favorite is playing and running, Garnett, Pierce and Ray Allen in the past to form the Celtics three giants, Deng Chao is a Celtics fan, but also specially let the United States to the front to explain the game CCTV sports commentator Yu Jia for him to bring back a Celtics giant signed jersey, now, Deng Chao’s favorite NBA stars have Harden and James.

  In normal times, Deng Chao did not care less about the game. When the Beijing team played at home in the past, Deng Chao saw Deng Chao many times. NBA China match was held, Deng Chao also went to the front court to watch the game many times. 2014-15 season’s CBA finals, Deng Chao and many stars watched the game at the home of the Beijing team. During the period, Deng Chao was also invited to play the game of dribbling during the game. Deng Chao, who ran around the huge basketball, was like a child having fun and was very happy. In the NBA China match in 2017, when the Warriors and Timberwolves played in Shanghai, Deng Chao and Sun Li brought their beloved son "etc." to watch the game. Under the influence of Deng Chao, his son also likes sports and basketball very much. In the future, has to enter the age of no confusion Deng super natural more likely to NBA, but I believe that the old heart is not old brother will also be a super fan of Chinese basketball and NBA, will always pay attention to the Chinese men’s and women’s basketball and has been concerned about the NBA, after all, basketball has also been integrated into Deng Chao’s blood.
