In the WCBA finals World War II on the evening of January 3, Inner Mongolia women's basketball team defeated Xinjiang women's basketball team 93-82, sweeping the opponent 2-0 to win the championship, which is also the first National League Championship with three big goals in the history of Inner Mongolia team. The Inner Mongolia women's basketball team, which created this brilliance, is a new army that has just been established for two years.

At the award ceremony after the game, Yao Ming and Bartel, two of the three "great moving walls" of the former men's basketball team, opened the same frame again after many years. Yao Ming, as the chairman of the Basketball Association, presented the award to the championship team, while Bartel led the team to receive the award as the chairman of the Inner Mongolia Basketball Association.

Bartel, who has been away from the professional field for a long time, returns to the public view in such a way. He is the behind the scenes creator of the miracle of Inner Mongolia women's basketball team.

WCBA new army won the championship in two years and the bus created it

On the evening of August 11, 2015, Beijing Wukesong Gymnasium was holding the retirement ceremony of former men's basketball player Bartel. A generation of famous players in China's basketball world said goodbye to their 25 years of basketball career.

Retired basketball players often continue their "basketball life" in various forms. Yao Ming was once an investor in the Shanghai Men's basketball team. More retired players will return to the professional arena as coaches and basketball commentators; Or set up a basketball training camp to spread fire for the future of Chinese basketball.

Born in Ordos, Inner Mongolia, Bartel is different. As a basketball eagle flying out of the grassland, he chose to return to his hometown and devote himself to the development of basketball in Inner Mongolia. In October 2018, Bartel was elected chairman of Inner Mongolia Basketball Association, and then began to actively run for a professional basketball team in his hometown.

More than two months later, Bartel's efforts paid off. On December 27, 2018, Inner Mongolia rural credit basketball club was officially established, which is the first and only professional women's basketball club in Inner Mongolia. On June 27, 2019, Inner Mongolia rural credit basketball club was officially approved to join the WCBA League in 2019-20 season, which marked that Inner Mongolia bid farewell to the history of no team participating in the top three National League. This is an exciting moment for bater and any Inner Mongolia sportsman.

On June 27, 2019, Inner Mongolia rural credit basketball club was officially approved to join the WCBA League in 2019-20 season, which marked that Inner Mongolia bid farewell to the history of no team participating in the top three National League. This is an exciting moment for bater and any Inner Mongolia sportsman.

"Thanks to the China Basketball Association, Inner Mongolia can break the gap of professional basketball. Although I left inner Mongolia as a child, my heart to contribute to my hometown has never changed. It's a great honor to have the women's basketball team join the WCBA League this time. " Bartel said.

Inner Mongolia women's basketball team can be among the WCBA in such a short time, Bartel has played a great role. Under his promotion, the WCBA all star game in early 2019 was settled in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, which was the first time that the event was held in a city without WCBA teams. At the end of May of the same year, he won the National Women's Basketball Championship and held an event in Hohhot.

In order to expand the strength of the team, Bartel, who is also the chairman of the club, actively recruits people all over the country. Zhang Yongjun, a former national player of the men's basketball team, was invited by him as the coach of the Inner Mongolia women's basketball team. Wei Wei, Ji Xiao, Cheng Feng, Qiu Siyue, Li Shanshan and other former national players of the women's basketball team have joined the Inner Mongolia team successively. All this is inseparable from the role played by Bartel's resources and contacts.

On November 23, 2019, Inner Mongolia women's basketball team ushered in the WCBA debut. Due to the impact of the epidemic, WCBA has only conducted 18 regular seasons this season, and Inner Mongolia team has won 9-9, ranking 10th in the championship.

In the summer of 2020, Inner Mongolia women's basketball team will further strengthen in the off-season. In July, they introduced three national players of Guangdong Women's basketball team, Li Yueru, Huang Sijing and Yang Liwei, in the form of loan. In addition, former Guangdong Women's basketball coach Zheng Wei and Guangdong Women's basketball assistant Huang Hongyu also joined the Inner Mongolia women's basketball team.

So far, this new WCBA army has become a hot spot for the championship. Although the book has been strong, Bartel has not relaxed at all. As the chairman of the team, he even personally supervised Li Yueru, who is also an insider.

In 2020-21 WCBA regular season, Inner Mongolia women's basketball team topped the list with 15 wins and 1 losses, with an average net win of 37.9 points; In the first two rounds of the playoffs, they easily eliminated Zhejiang and Sichuan; In the finals, two cities in a row swept Xinjiang, a strong enemy. Bartel led the team to rewrite the history of the three big balls in Inner Mongolia.

The first person in China to win the NBA championship ring! One handed down O'Neill became a classic

Bartel has been a success in the field of women's basketball. In the process of his player career in the men's basketball game, Bartel is also a real life winner.

On September 26, 2001, Bartel's agent Xia song received an invitation from van der wich, then general manager of the Nuggets. Subsequently, the invitation was handed over to Bartel himself, which opened a new window for his basketball world.

"After watching your training with the national team in the United States this summer, we think your level and potential are enough to make you a better player and improve yourself against NBA players," the invitation said. Therefore, we sincerely invite you to join the NBA pre-season training camp and warm-up game of the nuggets from October 1 to 26, and will be responsible for your round-trip air ticket and all expenses in the United States. "

Bartel thus embarked on the road to the United States and played two NBA preseason games on behalf of the Nuggets in October of the same year. In February 2002, a new opportunity beckoned to him - the Nuggets traded away white insider rafrenz, and another insider mcdays suffered injuries. The team urgently needed an experienced big man to enrich the basket, and Bartel entered their vision again.

February 27 was a historic moment in Bartel's life. On that day, he officially signed with the Nuggets, becoming the second Chinese player to land in the NBA after Wang Zhizhi and the first Chinese player to join the NBA as a free agent.

On March 17, in the Nuggets' game against the heat, Bartel entered the starting list and became the first Chinese player to start in the NBA. After that, Bartel got 29 minutes in a single game and played a comprehensive data performance of 5 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists.

In the following summer, Bartel's fate changed again. In the 2002 men's Basketball World Championships against the American dream team, Bartel showed great power and scored 19 points and 7 rebounds in front of Ben Wallace.

At that time, spurs coach Popovich was serving as a teaching assistant for the U.S. team, and he was deeply impressed by Bartel's performance“ We think Bartel's value and role are greatly underestimated, perhaps because he is an international player and people have different views on him. " Popovich made such an assessment afterwards.

Because of this, Bartel was traded by the Spurs in the 2002-03 season in order to add an "insurance" to the team's interior. In the daily training of the Spurs, Bartel, who is strong and strong, is often asked to play the role of "shark" O'Neill. He tries to reflect his value.

In this way, in the summer of 2003, Bartel followed the Spurs to win the championship and gained his own championship ring. He became the first Chinese player to win the NBA championship ring in history.

Whether it is a pivotal basketball position or rich personal treatment, Bartel is a winner.

I hope the completion of the women's basketball team can drive the development of sports in Inner Mongolia. If there is a chance, it will break through the history that there is no men's basketball team in the autonomous region. " This is Bartel's oath after the establishment of Inner Mongolia women's basketball team. Perhaps one day, his regrets and dreams will be realized with the help of Inner Mongolia men's basketball team.

The tenacious and hard-working sports spirit of Mr. Bartel and Inner Mongolia rural credit women's basketball team is similar to the enterprise spirit of dongti group. Dongti group hereby sends sincere congratulations to Inner Mongolia rural credit women's basketball team and Mr. Bartel!
