50-year-old Bater s recent situation: promotion and political work, very loving with his wife 10 years older than him, and his stepdaughter is very beautiful at the age of 35.

In the history of Chinese basketball, the title of "three centers" has been repeatedly mentioned, Yao Ming is the top pick in the draft, and Wang Zhizhi is the pioneer.

And Battel relied on his "power talent" to "appreciate" himself into the NBA, refreshing the American understanding of Asian centers.

He can leave the court by committing a foul on the court, and can also wear a suit and sit in the office after retirement, and live the word "athlete" into a complete life marathon.

The best thing is that he never relied on yelling about topics, showing off his family, filming short dramas and catching traffic, but he could live in everyone's "memories killing" list without any hesitation.

Yes, at the age of 50, he is still active - but not playing under the basket, but "playing and cooperating" easily between his career and his family.

In 2001, Van dervich, the new general manager of the Nuggets, was shocked by Bartel's physique when inspecting the Chinese men's basketball team's training in the United States:

is ruthless, has good skills, and has a more "hard attitude". He immediately made the decision to send an invitation letter.

So, a name "Bateer" that no one can even pronounce the correct English pronunciation appeared on the Denver Nuggets' preseason training camp list.

That year, this giant from the grassland was in a hot state in the team's training match, almost causing the "working experience card" of other centers in the team to be invalidated.

Unfortunately, he has not yet been warmed up. As a member of the Beijing team, he had to return to China to participate in the "9th Games" and missed the opportunity to sign the formal contract.

It seems that a good hand of cards was broken up, but unexpectedly, a few months later, the two main centers of the Nuggets were injured and the other were traded, and the team's inside line was as empty as a kite stand that had just been scraped.

So, Bartel signed a formal contract, put on the NBA's No. 27 jersey, and put the "return to regular" patch.

In March 2002, he made his first starter against the Warriors. It was not amazing but safe enough. The key is that this game made him the first Chinese starter in NBA history.

These 27 NBA games are not eye-catching as data sheets, but they are far more meaningful than "numbers".

Later he was traded to the Spurs, and although he didn't play much, he won a real championship ring.

Unfortunately, the NBA's dream is not long enough, and the CBA's reality is not sweet enough. After returning to China, Bater was once the core of the Beijing team's reconstruction plan.

The team built an inside system around him, and he also brought back his many years of overseas experience.

But ideals and results often go against each other. In the 2005 season, the Beijing team saw the championship, but lost to Bayi in the semi-finals.

This team failed to give him a championship, and he finally failed to realize his dream for his old club. Later, Bartel switched to the Western Xinjiang team.

His halo is still there, and his performance is still stable. He led the team to the finals for three consecutive years, losing three times before the finish line.

From Beijing to Xinjiang, Bater nailed himself to the list of "the most regrettable champion candidates" with three "runners".

But people who really understand the ball understand that this is not his mistake, but the failure of the times and the team to be powerful simultaneously.

In those years, he was not only the team's tactical axis, but also the spiritual leader, playing all over the game, withstand the inside, and defending foreign players.

Don't forget that the starting point of all this is a grassland boy who does not belong to a strong basketball province at all.

Dongsheng Township, Hangjin Banner, Inner Mongolia, has no systematic training, no professional coaches, and even the stadium is transformed from sand.

When Battel was a child, he stood in the last row of class and was often called to "maintain order" as a teacher. Growing tall is "original sin", and finally he was pulled to practice basketball by the sports school.

When I first came to Beijing, I was unable to understand language and could not keep up with my cultural courses, and my skills were immature. I was like a shepherd boy who accidentally entered the city. No one expected him to become a talent.

But it is this "negative polishing" original ecology that gives him irreplaceable combat effectiveness.

The coaches were particularly attentive to him and stipulated that the ball must be given to him once during the team's practice, otherwise the whole team would be invalid.

arranged for the team members to help him supplement Chinese and teach mathematics, and even asked him to do his homework and practice speaking every day to keep up with the progress of his culture.

Half a year later, Bartel was able to command tactics in Mandarin, turned around and shot without losing his teammates, and gradually became the main force from a substitute.

The only problem is that the "prairie personality" is too strong.

There was disagreement and immediately ran away. On the eve of the game, he went home to herd sheep. The head coach was so anxious that he looked for the lost child.

The Beijing team went out three times just to "escort him back to the team", and each time they were persuaded and persuaded him to take him back to the training camp from Inner Mongolia.

Fortunately, the "prodigal son turned back" is also fast enough. Once he determines the direction, Bartel can devote himself to it.

He is not as ostentatious as other players, nor does he rely on big scenes to attract attention. He relies on playing honestly and being a serious person.

His peak happened to miss the strongest teammate, but his trough supported the weakest team.

Can fight tough battles in the NBA and silently guard posts in the NBL. No matter how high the position is, Bartel has always been the most realistic big man.

In the arena, I rely on my strong and hard-working fighting spirit, but when I return home, I fight for soft power and humanity.

Although Bater's tendon flesh can beat the inside monsters in the NBA, maintaining the warmth of his family depends entirely on his other "hidden skill": emotional intelligence.

He married Deming, a Uyghur woman who was ten years older than him, and also accepted a "big girl" who was not his biological child.

This combination is like a realistic version of "the center meets a strong woman" in the atmosphere of public opinion more than 20 years ago. It sounds very adventurous, but it is very stable to act.

At the beginning, others always thought that Deming was a representative of "complex family background", but Bartel did not feel that "paid it backwards", but instead cherished it as a treasure.

Shortly after getting married, Deming directly opened a Xinjiang restaurant. Not only did he entertain friends in the circle, but his cooking skills and human nature were also moved clearly.

She is not the traditional wife who "standing behind her husband's back" and is more like an all-round support team leader.

Batter charges in the arena. In life, she is busy with parenting, financial management, cross-border education, and management of the kitchen. She is like a versatile player in the comprehensive development of "morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor".

The most rare thing is that although the stepdaughter Diffie is not Bartel's biological son, he has a strong relationship with this "big father".

When I was in school, I wrote an essay to praise Bartel, and when I was watching football, I wrote a letter to the NBA coach for playing time. These actions are not script arrangements, but a true portrayal of the accumulation of family affection.

No matter how big the height difference or cultural difference is, it is filled with this long-lasting love.

For Battel, this relationship is the most important "long-term tactical arrangement" in his life.

There is no sensation of flash marriage and passionate love, nor the exaggeration of wealthy families. It depends on a tacit understanding of mutual fulfillment and company that has never left each other for more than ten years.

And his ability to move from the basketball court to another field is not only the "retirement arrangement", but also the second curve of a man "starting again".

After retiring, other players either switched to open stores or went to serve as commentators, but Bartel took the "official career" route in a low-key manner.

The Chairman of the Inner Mongolia Basketball Association is glorious, but he does "heavy physical work".

Don't think this is a retirement position. In recent years, the Inner Mongolia Women's Basketball Team has won excellent results and its youth training layout has become increasingly perfect. The "commanding whip" behind it is exactly what Bater holds.

He is not the kind of "symbol character" who is used to holding airs, but rather the kind of hard-working player who "when he finishes talking about the policy, he goes to the stadium to watch training."

Go to the grassroots to investigate, discuss cooperation with enterprises, and explore plans with coaches. He looks like "being able to negotiate from top to bottom and setting up a formation", and he just makes government affairs clearer than pick-and-roll tactics.

Someone once questioned that he "transformed too fast", wasn't he just using athlete honor to plaster a management halo? But if you really look at his achievements after serving in the Inner Mongolia Basketball Association - the women's basketball rankings soared, the youth training system formed, and the introduction of resources, you will know that this is not a "star job" but a real thing. Although he had diabetes for a time, he was rosy and straight whenever he appeared in public.

has nothing to do with the "beer belly + fatigue" state that people think of as a retired veteran.

Some people like to compare the life of middle-aged people to a "downhill road", but Bartel obviously doesn't eat this.

He does not "fight for his old capital", but keeps opening new games, and even if he is no longer a player, he can find his own home court.

No wonder when the media took recent photos of him, they always liked to use words such as "blushed face" and "energetic".

Conclusion

From the teenager of the grassland to the NBA center, from the "ball fool" to the "husband" to the "basketball leader" in the political arena, every role he plays is real and solid.
