First of all, judging from the players who won the runner-up for three consecutive years, Bater, as the top player of Xinjiang team for many years, left Xinjiang team and moved to NBL Shaanxi Xinda. He retired on July 28th, 20 15, and now he is the president of Inner Mongolia Basketball Association, which is a basketball legend in China! Once? Tianshan Three Musketeers? One of them, Xu Guochong, is also a great hero of Xinjiang team. He played the final with Zhu and Wang alone. Xu Guochong is currently the head coach of the men's basketball team of CUBA South China University of Technology, and continues to make his own contribution to the development of basketball in China. Two Xinjiang players, Mulati and Mai Wulan, also held coaching positions. Mai Wulan has been the head coach of Xinjiang Youth Team since he retired on 20 16, while Mulati has been the assistant coach of China women's basketball team, helping China women's basketball team achieve excellent results.
Foreign aid is also a very important part of Xinjiang's third place. Mellon Allen is the first foreign aid to bring Xinjiang team to the finals. At present, Allen makes a living in amateur competitions all over China. At the same time with Allen, there was a fierce Charles, whose masterpiece was to knock down Du Feng in the finals. After leaving CBA, Charles played for NBL, Shaanxi and Anhui teams, and continued to seek gold in China. Dolby and singleton, as former NBA players, arrived in Xinjiang almost at the same time, but they still failed to cross the hurdle of Guangdong team. At present, singleton is still searching for gold in Israeli and other European and American leagues, while Dolby has disappeared since he left NBL in 20 18.
There are so many players who have not always played for Xinjiang, but they have also helped Xinjiang reach the finals in one or two seasons. These players also deserve our respect. As the first batch of foreign aid players in Xinjiang, Zhang Qingpeng helped Xinjiang reach the finals with an average of10-10/season. Today, Zhang Qingpeng still plays for Shandong Dongxiwang team and is a living fossil player in CBA. Xue Yuyang played for Xinjiang team for seven years, and helped Xinjiang team win the runner-up in 2008-09 and 2009 09- 10/0. At present, Xue Yuyang has become a teaching assistant of Henan Women's Basketball Youth Team and a member of chinese basketball association Youth Committee.
Of course, this also includes active players, such as Colanbeck, Sirigu Jiang, Sun Weibo, Song Kangming and Maidan. These are the meritorious players of Xinjiang Men's Basketball Team in the past, and they still play a role in China Basketball!
