According to reports, these young players who went out from Dongguan are called “Dongguan basketball youth Legion” because they represent the echelon of professional youth training, dongguan, the new force of the “National Basketball City”, is also outstanding. Why is the strength of “Dongguan basketball youth Legion” so strong?

But I also told them to guard against arrogance and rashness and strive for greater progress.” As soon as the game ended that night, Wu Qiang immediately expressed congratulations to the alumni members ahead by phone.
Talking about six people, including Zeng Yicheng, Cui Junchao, Chen Guohao, Liu kangneng, Zhou Zeyuan and Han Qiang, Wu Qiang said that winning the championship this time was the best reward for their efforts, it is also the successful practice of the consistent training mode of Dongguan No. 4 middle school basketball sports students. “The school will plan the development of every student in the long run at every stage.” Wu Qiang said that Dongguan No. 4 Middle School has signed a co-construction agreement with Dongcheng Experimental Middle School, Guangdong University of Technology and other like-minded upstream and downstream schools to exchange and cooperate in coach teaching, curriculum setting and other aspects, ensure that the training system of students in each learning stage is progressive and coherent.

No basketball, no Dongguan. In Fang Weimin’s view, the reason why the “Dongguan basketball youth Legion” is endless is also inseparable from Dongguan’s basketball city genes, this is also the secret that young basketball players in Dongguan can achieve bright results in various international and domestic competitions.
“Dongguan has a complete youth basketball training system, which makes many citizens fall in love with basketball when they are young.” During the interview, Fang Weimin told the reporter that 33 town street parks (including Songshan Lake) in Dongguan have established youth basketball training classes or youth basketball clubs, and have special financial support. In addition, professional basketball teams and grassroots basketball teams promote each other, truly demonstrating the benign interaction between competitive sports and mass sports.
In Fang Weimin’s view, the most important thing is that Dongguan has a perfect competition system, which makes athletes grow continuously. He said that Dongguan has different levels of basketball games such as kindergartens, primary schools and secondary schools, as well as different types of basketball games such as “town BA”, “village BA” and “enterprise BA. “In Dongguan, there are 5000 or 6000 basketball games a year. These games are the best stage for players to train basic skills, which is also a difficult phenomenon in other places.” Fang Weimin said.
