Basketball star Ma Jian was born in Hebei Province. 1983 entered the sports basketball major in Hebei province, was selected into the provincial youth team and the provincial men's basketball team, and played all the way to the national team. After 1992, Ma Jian went to the University of Utah in the United States to study and became the first China native to play in NCAA. The impact on the NBA failed, but he accepted the American way of thinking and behavior, which is why he has always kept the NBA-style board. Ma Jian went to the United States just before the league reform, and Hebei team failed to enter the top league for many reasons. Hebei team was relegated under the leadership of another famous Hebei player, Liang Da.
When Ma Jian played, China's basketball system was still very closed and conservative. At that time, Ma Jian insisted on playing in the United States after obtaining an American visa, which directly led to chinese basketball association's permanent disqualification from representing the national team. However, self-defeating, Ma Jian failed to enter UCLA, which became a turning point in his basketball career. In the last period of Ma Jian's career, Ma Jian had a good performance, whether in Hebei team or in Olympic Games, but in the end, he missed it. He completely lost the opportunity to enter the national team because he failed to lead Hebei to win the championship, and was directly fired by his boss because of the defeat of Olympic God. Ma Jian became what it is now.
We can sum up what kind of player Ma Jian is: his height is far below the average level of his position, his weight and confrontation are far above the average level, his bounce is very good, he once spiked in a fast break, and he once defended Yao Ming, who has achieved great success. Therefore, we can say that Ma Jian is an excellent player, but there may be a certain gap from the peak.
