In September 1995, the Guangxi Autonomous Region Sports School coach Su Guopei to the Liuzhou City Sports School selection of seedlings, a glance at the Zhu Fangyu. Coach Su conducted a bone age test on him, and expected his height to reach about 2 meters, with the physique and potential to play basketball, and began to focus on cultivating his basketball skills and shooting ability. And in order to supplement the adequate nutrition, to ensure that his physique and height.
In 1998, at the age of 15, Zhu Fangyu joined the Guangxi men's basketball team. In the same year, in order to get promotion and progress, through the introduction of friends, Zhu Fangyu joined the Guangdong Hongyuan youth team, and when he participated in the national competition on behalf of the Guangdong Hongyuan youth team, he was spotted by the coach of the national youth team, and then went to play for his country.
In 1999, Zhu Fangyu officially joined the Guangdong Hongyuan team, at that time, Zhu Fangyu technical and tactical aspects are not comprehensive, can only sit on the bench for a long time, or only in the garbage time to play, in the bench period, Zhu Fangyu has not been idle, carefully observe the characteristics of the team players and the characteristics of the other team members, and often stayed in the training hall, in order to fight for the field, get rid of the bench, he paid a lot of sweat and time in the training hall. The first thing that you need to do is to get a good deal of time and sweat.
And then a few seasons, Zhu Fangyu not only got rid of the bench, and became the team's main player, in the field to fight, began to emerge, but in those seasons, Zhu Fangyu's three-point hitting rate is not too high, but already have a very stable means of scoring.
As he slowly adapted to the CBA, Zhu Fangyu's three-point shooting rate improved dramatically, always hitting the key three-point shots at critical moments, leading the Guangdong team to the finals, when there were still players such as Li Nan (the previous head coach of the national team), Du Feng (the current head coach of the national team), and Yi Jianlian (the national team's oldest brother and leader) in the team.
From the 2003 - 2004 season, Zhu Fangyu led the Guangdong team to create a dynasty of eight years and seven championships, in which Zhu Fangyu took the feat of four FMVPs, and was even hailed as Asia's first small forward at the time, Zhu Fangyu hit three points in a number of crucial games, and helped the team turn the tide on a number of occasions.
In two of those seasons, Zhu Fangyu faced injuries like any other athlete, but during the recuperation phase, Zhu did not stay idle, studying tactics, improving his shooting percentage and so on. Long-term persistence makes him return to the king, and once again lead the Guangdong team to the throne and establish a dynasty.

During the national team, because of the comprehensive technology, many times on behalf of the national team to go to the World Championships. 2004 Athens Olympic Games, only 21 years old Zhu Fangyu in the face of the World Championships champion, in the case of the game trailing at the end of the game, scored six consecutive points to help the team reversed the situation into the eight.
Fans may know the classic picture of Wang Shipeng's game-winning three-pointer in the 2006 World Championships, but what they don't know is that before Wang Shipeng's game-winning three-pointer, Zhu Fangyu scored a difficult three-pointer against a great opposing defender to reduce the game's deficit to one point.
2008 Beijing Olympics, Zhu Fangyu face the powerful United States and Spain, continuous hit three-pointers, to help the team bite the score, although at the time this excellent Chinese national team did not break into the top eight, but we can see that these players desperately look, all of their bullets are playing all of the wonderful picture, although the defeat is still honorable!
Zhu Fangyu is best known for his set of combinations, in 2010, when the Chinese team and the Brazilian team had a warm-up match, due to the Brazilian players repeatedly used underhanded tactics, intentionally angered the Chinese players, and even led to injuries to our players. Both sides of the gunpowder flavor is getting thicker and thicker, Zhu Fangyu also took the initiative to collide with the other side of the provocation of the players, and finally Zhu Fangyu big fight, playing a set of combinations of punches, completely scared the Brazilian team players, later, Zhu Fangyu recalled that also hit the wrong person.
On June 18, 2017, CBA "Mr. 10,000 points" Zhu Fangyu announced his retirement through social media, and began to transition to the general manager of the Guangdong team, during his tenure as general manager, there are a number of wonderful operations and reinforcements, and let the Guangdong team back to the peak, and once again hit the four consecutive championships of the dynasty, as a Guangxi people! As a Guangxi native, Zhu Fangyu has dedicated his full strength to Guangdong's basketball, and is indeed a legend of the Guangdong team, as well as the pride of the Chinese team.
In terms of feelings, Zhu Fangyu caused a lot of controversy and condemnation, because Zhu Fangyu was exposed to marital derailment, Zhu Fangyu once had a marriage with a gymnast called Hu Mei, and the two and gave birth to two sons within the marriage, Zhu Fangyu and Hu Mei was in 04 years of acquaintance, and entered into marriage in 2008. After the two married, and Zhu Fangyu outside but has been debauchery, his ex-wife announced the divorce, and broke out Zhu Fangyu marital derailment, derailment object is a white beauty, is also the current wife.
Of course the truth of the matter we do not know, I hope Zhu Fangyu can continue to lead the Guangdong team to achieve more results and achievements, and contribute to China's basketball.
