Did Liu Wei play in the NBA?

As of December 2015, Liu Wei has not played in the NBA's regular season or playoffs, but has only represented the Kings in the Summer League.

NBA tryouts.

In the summer of 2004, Liu Wei was invited to participate in the Kings tryout, and on the eve of the NBA China game, he got a non-guaranteed contract, but later the Kings chose to give up the official signing with Liu Wei due to too many point guards in the team.

Liu Wei represented the Kings in two games, and in the first game, Liu Wei got more time to perform, and was able to hit his first goal in the Kings game; In the second game, Liu Wei only got 10 minutes of playing time, and in the first 3 minutes of the fourth quarter, he made 3 consecutive turnovers, exposing his lack of experience and lack of confrontation, so that Kings coach Adelman had to replace him early.

Liu Wei once participated in the Kings' preseason training, but then he came back, his strength was not good, and the Kings didn't want him.

So Liu Wei has never been to the NBA to play.

He tried out for the Kings and then went to China with the team to play the China game against the Rockets.

No. Only Battle, Wang's nephew, Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, and Sun Yue have played in the NBA.

No, Liu Wei has been playing in China.

It is rumored that the Kings said that they would choose Liu Wei is just a situation. Because the Kings first came to China, they were afraid that the Chinese fans would not support them, just like the home fans booed the away players in an NBA game. So they put this thing down, which can also be said to be a little flattering.

Because at that time, with Liu Wei's ball skills and physical condition, there was no problem in the Chinese national team, but for the NBA, he had not yet reached that height.

It's just a tryout to play preseason.

The CBA league started late, so compared with the NBA and the European league, there is a certain gap in terms of training system, diet management, professionalism and so on. Many players are not in place in terms of strength training, and their diet and rest are relatively casual, so naturally their careers will not be long. It's amazing to be able to play in the CBA for 10 years, and basically all of them are well-known players.

But there is one player who is definitely an "evergreen" in the CBA. From stepping on the CBA stage at the age of 17 to retiring at the age of 39, a full 22-year career has created many legendary records.

He is Liu Wei, and he will be no stranger to Liu Wei fans, because he is the number one excellent guard in the history of the men's basketball team and Yao Ming's good partner back then. Liu Wei only began to contact basketball in the fourth grade of primary school, but he quickly became famous with outstanding talent, was selected for the Shanghai youth team at the age of 14, and officially stepped on the stage of CBA at the age of 17.

At the beginning of the 99-00 season, Liu Wei ushered in the first peak of his career, and his partner Yao Ming broke into the finals for 3 consecutive years, just like the OK combination of the CBA league. Although it was a regrettable defeat in the first 2 years, the Shanghai team defeated the Dynasty Bayi team in 02 and won the championship of the CBA League. After that, Yao Ming went to the NBA to develop, and Liu Wei became the boss of the team, who can cut off the comprehensive data of points, rebounds and assists, and is the top point guard in China.

After 17 seasons with the Shanghai team, Liu Wei played for Xinjiang Guanghui and Sichuan Jinqiang until 2019, when he officially announced his retirement, a career that lasted for 22 years. With a career total of 10,147 points, he is the only guard to score more than 10,000 points, and his career total assists rank second all-time with 2,591. Coupled with his outstanding performance in the national team, Liu Wei is definitely one of the greatest point guards in the CBA.

As the player with the longest career in CBA history, self-discipline has become a habit for Liu Wei. For Liu Wei, insisting on exercising to stay in good shape, not smoking or drinking, not going to nightclubs and not eating junk food is what he has always insisted on. In the 20th year of his career, he also averaged rebounds and assists per game, which is better than many young players, which is indeed admirable.

After retiring, Liu Wei lost a lot of weight, he became the leader of the Shanghai team, and he still often appears on the sidelines of the field, and often participates in activities and guest commentators, completing a gorgeous transformation. Liu Wei also said that he is willing to become a head coach in the future, and with his ball intelligence and strength, he can definitely become a top coach.

He's a very hard working CBA player. Liu Wei attaches great importance to basic training and has always insisted on training himself, which has laid the foundation for his competition.

Liu Wei is a conscientious CBA player. He has a very consistent ball control and excellent passing vision and is a good point guard.

Liu Wei is a very strong CBA player, with comprehensive skills and good offensive ability.

Basketball is one of the most popular sports in the world, the NBA league is the top temple in the basketball world, which brings together all the basketball masters in the world, is the place that all basketball players yearn for, compared to the NBA in the United States, China's CBA has not been pushed to the world, but in recent years it has also developed very rapidly, which has emerged batches of outstanding basketball players, it is worth mentioning that there is a player who entered the CBA when he was 17 years old, and retired at the age of 39, has played basketball for a total of 22 years, and is known as the "evergreen" of the CBA, he is Liu Wei.

The Men's Basketball World Cup was held in China, but unfortunately the Chinese men's basketball players made mistakes on the court one after another, resulting in only the 24th place in the end and missing the direct passage to the Tokyo Olympics next year. This made the fans very disappointed, the guards on the court missed the shot, the pass could not be passed, the defense could not be prevented, and the breakthrough could not be broken, which couldn't help but make some old fans think of the strongest point guard in the men's basketball team in the past: Liu Wei, who used to be the main control of the men's basketball team, pointed out the country, received a lot of criticism, but still moved forward bravely.

Time flies quickly, ten years have passed in a flash, and Liu Wei, who once carried the national team, has gray temples and no longer has the same brilliance as he did back then. For a long time, what some old fans had to do every day was to accuse Liu Wei, if it weren't for Yao Ming, he would have been able to enter the national team? A teammate ran out of tactics, why didn't he pass the ball?

Wait a minute. Before this men's basketball team, he may be the one who has been criticized the most by Chinese men's basketball players, but no matter how others accuse, Liu Wei has never given up and moved forward bravely.

In the men's basketball team at that time, Liu Wei can be said to be the best guard who dribbles through the half, the best guard for single defense, and a guard who dares to fight at critical moments. Although criticized by many people, Liu Wei put the responsibility of the national team in the most important position, never defended himself, moved forward bravely, and played basketball for 22 years before choosing to retire.

Looking at the history of the Chinese men's basketball team, it can be seen that Liu Wei is the strongest point guard in the history of the men's basketball team, in the 06 World Championships, Liu Wei became the absolute main force in the team, scoring points and assists per game, which has become the strongest point guard performance of the Chinese team in the past 10 years. In addition to some domestic and regional events, Liu Wei played six World Series games from 02 to 12 years, and dominated the Chinese men's basketball team for ten years.

The former first point guard of the men's basketball team, spent 22 years of youth on the court, he announced his retirement in August this year, and the Shanghai men's basketball team retired Liu Wei's No. 8 jersey, after retiring, he did not choose to leave basketball, but became the leader of the Shanghai team, he is ready to dedicate his life to basketball, and finally wish Liu Wei a happy life in the future, leading the Shanghai men's basketball team to create brilliance!

After playing basketball for 18 years, he chose to retire, and he is also a player who has played for a long time, has won a lot of achievements, and is also a former representative of the men's basketball team, with strong personal ability.

At that time, there were many people who thought that Liu Wei was able to join the national team because he and Yao Ming were teammates, and there were many viewers who didn't really understand basketball, so when they saw that Liu Wei's performance on the court was different from what they imagined, they would be very angry and blame Liu Wei, but the fact is that Liu Wei was the strongest point guard of that era, Liu Wei's career lasted for fifteen years, and he has been disliked by the audience since he joined the national team, and he has been accused for ten years, But fortunately, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and it took Liu Wei ten years to get the audience to eliminate their doubts.

He played for 22 years before he retired, he gave his youth for the men's basketball team, he has a lot of fans, and I like him too.

In the history of Chinese basketball, the front line can be shot, and the point guard is to pass the ball to the big man, and Liu Wei is known as the point guard who can pass the ball to Yao Ming the most! Young fans may not have seen Liu Wei play in the CBA, I think Liu Wei is the strongest point guard in the history of Chinese basketball, he began to play in the CBA in 97 years, and he did not retire until 2019, when he was 39 years old, and played in the CBA for 22 seasons, Liu Wei has maintained a good figure, and his self-discipline is worth learning from all players.

Liu Wei has averaged 20+ points per game in five seasons, and can average 4 points and rebounds per game in his career, and 24 points, 7 rebounds and assists and 2 steals per game in the 02-03 season, which can be said to have reached the level of the NBA. Many fans don't know that Liu Wei also played last summer, and the NBA Kings signed Liu Wei with a non-guaranteed contract, Liu Wei wore the No. 8 jersey and also played two NBA preseason games. At that time, the strength of the Kings was still very strong, and Mike Bibby liked Liu Wei very much, when the Kings had too many point guards, and finally did not give Liu Wei a formal contract, Liu Wei was recognized as the No. 1 point guard in Asia at that time!

Looking back at the draft report made by the Kings for Liu Wei that year, it's a pity that he didn't gain a foothold in the NBA!

Liu, who is 1.91 meters tall and weighs 91 kilograms, plays a point guard and is from the CBA Shanghai team. Liu was Yao's teammate, and the two won the CBA championship together in 2002, and Yao went on to participate in the NBA draft. Liu is fast, has a steady style of play, and can organize, defend, break, mid-range shooting, and three-point shooting, but he can't reach the top.

Liu plays differently from Asian players, but is much like European point guards, and if I could find a similar player in the NBA, I thought of Jason Kidd.

Of course, whether they can get a foothold in the NBA is another thing, and the physical fitness of Asian players is difficult to adapt to the intensity of the NBA game, and there are also language and cultural gaps, which need to be adapted. In conclusion, Liu is definitely a qualified NBA player who can serve as a backup point guard for a team.

Liu Wei suffered controversy in the past, and when he looked back, he found that it would be difficult to have such an excellent point guard as Liu Wei in the future, who could score, organize, and defend at the same time! We all owe Liu Wei an apology! Now, Liu Wei is the leader of the Shanghai men's basketball team, and he also retired his No. 8 jersey, at the retirement ceremony, Liu Wei choked up, how much does he love basketball to last for 22 years?

From the age of 22 to the age of 33, Liu Wei has participated in all the major competitions of the national team in 11 years, which is an unprecedented record in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team, and Liu Wei is also the only "full-time" player in the national team in the past ten years.

Liu Wei was selected by the NBA Kings, and they said of him: The speed is too slow, he can't keep up with the pace of the game, and it is difficult to gain a foothold in the team.

Liu Wei's evaluation is that he is fast, has a steady style of play, organizes defense, breaks through, mid-range shooting, and can do anything from three-point shooting, but he is not the top.

They commented that Liu Wei is fast and has a steady style of play, but he is not up to the top, and his style of play is very similar to that of European point guards.

Liu Wei announced his retirement, Liu Wei's best result should be the 2001 2002 CBA championship, Liu Wei also won four Asian men's basketball championships, and two Asian Games championships.

Liu Wei's career is legendary, Liu Wei is a very hard player, Liu Wei as long as he plays on the court, he is the most dynamic scoring guard, Liu Wei has made great contributions to the Shanghai team, is definitely the greatest guard in the history of Shanghai, Liu Wei is the eternal No. 8.

Liu Wei has been the main guard of the Shanghai men's basketball team since he joined the Shanghai men's basketball team in the 1997 and 1998 seasons, especially in the 1997 and 1998 seasonsIn the 2001 and 2002 seasons, Liu Wei and Yao Ming teamed up to lead the Shanghai men's basketball team to win the first CBA championship in the history of the Shanghai men's basketball team, which is definitely a glorious history.

Liu Wei also played the peak data in the 2001 and 2002 seasons, averaging points, rebounds and assists per game, which can be said to be his highest data in recent years, and it is Liu Wei's outstanding performance that led to the CBA championship of the Shanghai men's basketball team.

The Shanghai men's basketball team won the CBA championship this year, which also broke the monopoly of the Bayi team on the CBA championship.

Liu Wei has played in the national team for 11 years, and it can be said that Liu Wei has basically participated in all the games of the Chinese men's basketball team in these 11 years.

Liu Wei has participated in three men's basketball world championships, three Olympic Games, three Asian Games, four men's Asian Basketball Asian Championships, and won four men's Asian Basketball Championships and two Asian Games championships, which can be said to be the first person in the history of the national team.

Liu Wei is 39 years old, and it can be said that Liu Wei's departure symbolizes the end of an era and the end of a legend, but we hope that Liu Wei can continue to shine for Chinese basketball.
