Live broadcast bar, May 15 recently, Shenzhen men’s basketball player Shen Zijie accepted an exclusive interview with Gao Jing, a reporter from New Express.
On February this year, Shen Zijie officially opened the SOAROC stadium in Nanhai, Foshan. This is his third stadium in China after Nanjing and Haikou.
Shen Zijie is nicknamed “Big Bird”, and the logo of the stadium is just a bird spreading its wings and soaring. SOAROC consists of two English words SOAR (Goofy) and ROC (Dapeng), meaning to spread the wings and SOAR high, Pengcheng Wanli. The color of the whole stadium is mainly light blue and dark blue, with several Chinese Rim battle robes hanging on one side men’s basketball above. For this place, Shen Zijie also devoted a lot of efforts.
Q: What was the original intention of making a stadium by yourself?
Shen Zijie: it can be said to be a plan for personal development. After all, the life span of basketball athletes sports is relatively short. It cannot be limited to playing basketball and developing something related to yourself, it is helpful to the operation after oneself.
Q: Foshan, a stadium, has now become a clock-in place for many players. Do you often meet your teammates?
Shen Zijie: The stadium contains basketball, volleyball, tennis and other projects, and the investment is also the most. There are many designs on visual effects in the museum. When I came here, I also felt very spectacular and shocking. I believe that more changes will be made here later. Since the opening of the stadium, I will come as long as I have time to rest. We attach great importance to this stadium and will often come here in the future.
Q: I know there will be a lot of training for teenagers in the museum. How do you plan for this?
Shen Zijie: the atmosphere of basketball in Guangdong is very hot. Many children here love basketball, which is a very good demonstration of basketball culture. Next, we will do more detailed training and competitions to better publicize and show basketball culture.
Q: What goals do you have in the future since your career?
Shen Zijie: I have joined the Shenzhen team for so many years, from the third team to the youth team and then to the first team, from the Cainiao of that year to the present generation of the second generation. In the mouth of the coach in the team, it can even be called an old player. I hope that next, I can bring the team members who just came up, help them go the right way, hope that they can better integrate into CBA, and also hope to help Shenzhen team go further in the future.
