A late bloomer, he sat on the bench in Shougang, Beijing for six years and learned from Marbury to change his destiny.

There is no shortage of famous young defenders in CBA league, such as Chen Jianghua, who was selected to the national team at the age of 17, and was only 19 when Kobe passed the Beijing Olympic Games. Another example is Guo, who led the team to win the Asian Youth Championship at the age of 16, won the World Youth Championship scoring champion at the age of 17, and became one of the best point guards in the league at the age of 2 1.

Compared with them, Fang Shuo's career is much more bumpy. Although Fang Shuo was famous from junior high school and joined Shougang at the age of 18, he was on the bench for the first four seasons of his career. It was not until the age of 24 that Fang Shuo gradually entered the team's rotation lineup. At the age of 27, he finally became the main force of the team. He can be regarded as one of the representative players who are late bloomers!

Fang Shuo was born in Beijing, the capital, and showed his talent for sports since he was a child. He was already famous in junior high school, and his excellent speed and excellent projection ability made him stand out among his peers. In 2008, Fang Shuo, aged 18, successfully entered Shougang team. Unexpectedly, this teenager has been sitting on the "cold bench" for nearly six years.

Why did Shougang sign Fang Shuo but never give him a chance to play? There are actually two reasons. First, Fang Shuo was too thin at that time. As a point guard, the level of ball control and passing was not very good; Second, there were many excellent defenders in Shougang team at that time, such as Xie Libin, Marbury and Sun Yue, and Fang Shuo's ability was not as good as these people.

In fact, Fang Shuo not only didn't have many playing opportunities in the early stage of his career, but even worked as a cameraman for the team, which means he didn't even have to be a bench player. However, Fang Shuo always insists on and completes the work arranged by the team, and he often learns by watching the game videos.

"With Bole, there is a swift horse. There are often swift horses, but Bole is not often. " Bole is especially important to opponents. The major turning point of Fang Shuo's career is not only because he often watches videos and studies, but also because he works very hard in training. Another big reason is that he met his own Bole-Marbury.

Marbury was once an NBA All-Star, was selected as the NBA's best team, and helped Shougang win the CBA championship three times. His strength is beyond doubt. At that time, although Fang Shuo was not well-known, Marbury thought highly of him, passed on his experience and experience to the young teenager, and took him to the United States for special training during the offseason.

With Marbury as a teacher, Fang Shuo's ball skills have made great progress. 20 15- 16 season, 25-year-old Fang Shuo gradually became the main rotation of the team, and he became a "strange card" in the hands of the coach, who could surprise his opponents at critical moments. But Fang Shuo is not satisfied with this. He is eager for greater achievements.

On 20 17, Shougang ace guard Marbury was transferred to Beijing Control Team, and Fang Shuo finally got his wish and took the position of starting point guard. It is worth mentioning that in a "Beijing Derby" this season, facing teacher Marbury, Fang Shuo not only scored 27 points, 4 assists and 3 rebounds, but also hit a key three points against Marbury's defense!

After the game, Fang Shuo and Marbury hugged each other tightly. Fang Shuo can play such a performance, Marbury definitely occupies a lot of credit, and Fang Shuo also knows that going all out and playing excellent performance is the greatest respect for Marbury!

On 20 18, Fang Shuo was selected as the captain of the Red Team of China Men's Basketball Team and participated in the Asian Games with the team. In the first four games of the Asian Games, Fang Shuo couldn't find his state on the offensive end. In the first four innings, he made 0 for two-pointers 10, 4 for three-pointers 19, and only got 18 for four innings.

Fang Shuo has also been attacked by many fans online. Some netizens said that he was a cancer of the team and his playing style was too individualistic. Some people say that he is not strong enough, and even some radical remarks have appeared. Faced with more and more questions, Fang Shuo didn't respond online because he knew that only playing well was the best response.

18 Asian Games final, China men's basketball team played Iranian again. However, the China men's basketball team was eliminated by Iranians in the last Asian Games, so for the men's basketball team, this battle was only a victory, not a defeat. However, in the early stage of the game, the Iranian team attacked very efficiently, leading China by as much as 16 points in the second quarter.

At this critical moment, Fang Shuo was ordered by the crisis, swept away the decline of previous games and helped the team blow the horn of counterattack. Breaking through layups, three-pointers and passing assists, Fang Shuo's scoring methods emerged one after another. With his help, China gradually narrowed the scoring gap and finally beat Iran 84-72. In this game, Fang Shuo contributed 16 points and 8 assists.

For the other master, this is the best response to the questioning voice. After this war, the name of "Fang Chaoju" became louder and louder, and Fang Shuo was praised as "every dark cloud has a silver lining".

In the 20 19-20 season, Fang Shuo averaged 1 1.3 points and 4.8 assists, and won the sixth place in the CBA regular season.

In 2020-2 1 season, Fang Shuo averaged 13.9 points +5.9 assists, among which the number of assists reached the highest in his career. But at the same time, he also needs to reduce his own mistakes. 3.3 turnovers per game is still too high.

Fang Shuo's motto in life is:

This sentence is also the epitome of his career. From the cameraman of the team to the captain of the red team of China men's basketball team, the inspirational stories remind people of Thomas Jr., who lost in the draft and became "Lin Crazy" in that year, and went from the 60th pick in the NBA to "the king of the last quarter".

They used to face the situation that there was no ball to play, but they kept their original heart and finally proved themselves. Opportunities are often reserved for those who are prepared, and Fang Shuo has obviously made great efforts to this end. Now 3 1 year-old Fang Shuo has a goal, which is to help Shougang win the championship again!
