In your mind, what is the craziest moment of basketball match?
Is it the broken board and violent buckle of violence aesthetics, the death cap covering the sky, the desperate situation of the rhythm master, or the extreme killing of the edge of victory and defeat?
For different people, there may be tens of thousands of different answers to this question, while for Liu Jian’s fans, “killing” must be their most relish basketball moment.
In 2011, Kobe watched a CUBA summer camp against Xiangtan University in Hunan Normal University at his China tour Changsha station. At the last moment of the competition, Liu Jian from Xiangtan University threw a three-point killing in front of Kobe in the way of idol Kobe! After the game, Kobe patted him on the shoulder and said to him, “yeah,so good!”
For Liu Jian, this killing was not accidental, but a big heart he practiced after experiencing ups and downs in his life, which was that he was not nervous or withdrawn, never give up the inevitable life created.
Liu Jian was born in Chenzhou, Hunan province in 1989. His mother used to be a basketball player. After graduating from junior high school, Liu Jian, facing a fork in life, chose the best basketball Middle School in Chenzhou city-Chenzhou No. 3 Middle School. Entering the school team of the Third Middle School in Chenzhou, Liu Jian took part in two trainings at 5:30-8:00 in the morning and 16:30-19:00 in the evening, at an amazing speed, he was born from a “little fat man” into a muscular athlete, and also fulfilled his talent. In the third year of high school, he won two consecutive championships in the High School League in Hunan province with his teammates Liu Zhifeng and Chen Wenfeng.
In 2007, Liu Jian was sent to Xiangtan University. However, just as he was trying to prepare for CUBA, Liu Jian was examined for three-section lumbar disc herniation. This sudden injury disrupted all his career plans and even almost destroyed his basketball career.
Liu Jian, who had been in bed for nearly a year, quickly put into training after returning to normal walking, and even did not hesitate to take pain pills to support his basketball dream! But reality gave him a painful blow. When he returned to the stadium, it was difficult for him to find his personal status, and he could not keep up with the rhythm of the game and the cooperation within the team. This made him feel confused and painful.
Perhaps it was the fate arrangement. Liu Jian, who was at the lowest point in his life, saw the match of the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics in the 2010 NBA Finals. His idol Kobe Bryant led the Lakers to win seven and successfully avenged the Celtics to win the championship. This moment created Kobe’s glory and dream, and also lit a spark for Liu Jian in the dark night of life. “In my most difficult time, it was Kobe who never gave up the Mamba spirit that made me learn to grow up in adversity. I had to hold on no matter how!”
Liu Jian spent nearly a year of systematic rehabilitation training to get rid of lumbar injuries. In addition to physical and competitive recovery, Liu Jian, who has experienced life to dark moments, has also been sublimated in his personal mentality and spiritual attributes. In 2011, Xiangtan University, led by Liu Jian, played against CUBA’s strong brigade Central South University led by coach Bai Jiang. Liu Jian did not panic at all when he was 7 points behind the last minute, three scores in a row, and complete the reversal in the last 3.5 seconds.
Today, Liu Jian, who has moved to the super three games, still uses practical actions to interpret the Mamba spirit that never gives up.
Last season, Liu Jian’s Guangzhou Yue ran leopard cat away against Macao Dafeng Wolf war. There are 54 seconds left before the end of the game, and Macao Dafeng Wolf war leads at 20:17. In the overwhelming shouting cheer sound of rival fans, Liu Jian first took two points from the outside line, and then took his teammates to pass the ball. He jumped, leaned back, and drifted in the air to complete the killing.
However, these moments, which were praised by their own fans and made their opponents feel scared, for Liu Jian, were after he had experienced countless bloody and sweaty training, actual combat and self-defeating, the instinct to blend into bone blood. May Liu Jian, “Hunan Kobe”, keep his original heart and never give up on his future career path, and continue to show his wonderful performance!
