Mentioning the Busan Asian Games, it may be one of the most unforgettable games in Mr. Hong’s career. He recalled that he almost finished squatting while taking painkillers. After the first game, he lost to Japan 3:8. Mr. Hong found that he had Something was wrong, but he endured it. Until the final gold medal match, he could not forget the pain.

But Hong Yizhong remembers that Wang Jianmin was in 1A with the New York Yankees for a short period of time and had not yet entered the major leagues. However, he was called on to play in the third inning of the semifinals against Japan to replace starting pitcher Song Zhaoji who had left the game after missing 5 runs. Wang Jianmin pitched in the third inning of the playoffs. He has not allowed a run in 10 innings, including 6 strikeouts. Wang Jianmin’s fastball and changeup are both very good. He thought to himself, “If a pitcher of this level cannot pitch to the major leagues, what kind of monsters are all in the major leagues?”

Hong Yizhong said frankly that he could no longer play basketball due to the “judgement clause” due to the merger of the two leagues. He worked as a commentator for a time and later became a coach. Otherwise, he would have continued to play. “I was training myself at the time. , I go running every day to maintain my health, and I don’t think about turning into a coach until I really can’t.”

The following year’s World Cup coaching staff of the Chinese team, Hong Yizhong really became the coach and set off to Cuba to participate in the World Cup. Although he accidentally lost to Russia 1:4, he also defeated the United States and finished fourth.
