Basketball: I am crazy about basketball
Beijing News: Everyone knows that you like to play basketball. How often do you play basketball?
Liu Genghong: Before recording the program, because I was too busy with work, I did play less basketball this year. It was only during the recording of the program that I really started practicing, and I slowly regained my feeling of playing ball.
Beijing News: Is there anything related to basketball that left a deep impression on you?
Liu Genghong: There are too many . I have made a lot of good friends because of playing basketball, including when I played three-on-three before. Because I play basketball with Wu Zun, love fitness, and also love my family and children very much. The two of us became very good friends and our children grew up together. We usually take Jay Chou to play basketball together, which has left a lot of memories since we were young. We used to play until midnight every time after work, and then go to eat ice cream and supper together. Those memories are very beautiful. I am crazy about basketball and always hope to be better at basketball. I often go to various places to participate in competitions. Whenever I go to a city, I hope to find a place to play basketball when I have time.
Beijing News: In your opinion, what is the charm of basketball?
Liu Genghong: It started because the neighbors played basketball together. Later, my father taught me how to play. For me, it was a moment when father and son played sports together. Although there were not many opportunities, it will always be a very special memory in my life. Later, I found my confidence in sports while playing basketball. Although I am not that tall, I have good jumping ability and can dunk. In addition, I have very good physical fitness and strong explosive power. These allow me to often win in basketball. This also taught me that no matter the ups and downs of life, I can use basketball to regain my confidence, encourage myself, and even learn team spirit. Sports spirit also inspires my life and career, so even if I can't play basketball in the future, I will still like basketball and pay attention to basketball. I also hope that my son will be good at basketball in the future.
Program: I haven’t been so excited for a long time
Beijing News: Is there any difference between playing basketball with friends in private and playing basketball in Hengdian?
Liu Genghong: The whole atmosphere of playing basketball in Hengdian is different. Playing with friends in private is more relaxed and happy. Everyone on the show is not familiar with playing basketball. During the game, relatively speaking, there are more collisions and mistakes. During the game, You need to develop a tacit understanding with your teammates and slowly find the feeling of the team. You also need to endure the situation where you are not sure about the entire game and are not familiar with the status of your opponents and teammates before starting the game. This kind of game is more exciting than usual. I haven't been so excited for a long time, and this emotion will last throughout the game.
Beijing News: Everyone knows that you have very good physical fitness. Did you lead other teammates in aerobics during the show, or did you increase physical training?
Liu Genghong: is not available yet. We are too tired from playing, including myself, sometimes I can’t dance. Continuous recording, one day each for competition, game, and rest. Repeatedly for several games in a row. The body is more taxing than an NBA player.

Beijing News: Did anything unexpected happen while participating in the recording of the program?
Liu Genghong: The injury in the game left the deepest impression on me. It was very sad and very regrettable. Another important thing that impressed me was that I got the mvp (most valuable player). Fortunately, I got it in the game before the injury. MVP of the game and the highest score in a single game. In addition, my teammates on the same team also scored, which for me fulfilled my wish to be the captain of the team. Every teammate scored in a game, and the team also won the game. This is my The happiest thing.
Gains: Met 30 friends who have never played ball together
Beijing News: What is your biggest gain from participating in the show?
Liu Genghong: The biggest gain of is that I have made a lot of friends who love playing basketball. We usually live in different places and may not even know that these people are playing basketball. In the program, I met at least 30 friends who have never played together before. Through the program, I have learned more Friendship is quite fun.
Beijing News: The program invited a professional basketball coach. For you, has your skills improved?
Liu Genghong: Of course, the coach knows (tactical) allocation and can give you suggestions when he sees your problems. But for me, as long as I continue to practice, I will definitely improve. Another thing for me is that I am the captain, which gives me a good pressure and gives me a sense of responsibility for the entire team to condense the team atmosphere and spirit. I think I learned a lot from this program on how to be a good captain, how to lead the team to win or continue to improve.
[Talk about teammates]
Yan Chengxu and I have known each other for about ten years. I know his way of playing basketball very well, but he and I have never played the whole court. We all play half the court. , so I didn’t know his status at all before the game. But I know that he was very serious before the competition and had been practicing his personal skills. When we played half court together, I thought he played very well because he is strong, tall, and has a strong left hand. I think he has a small forward build and is quite good in hook shots and other aspects.
Huang Minghao is young and energetic, has good jumping ability and is very energetic. This is his very big advantage.
Ji Lingchen is the rebounding king among us. He can basically grab 20 rebounds in a game. He is tall enough and his jumping ability is really good. Although he may be a little thinner than our opponents, he has great physical strength, and he is a person who is not easily defeated by reality and whose confidence is eroded. He usually persists until the end, which is something I admire about him.
Yu Haoming (recording program) was filming before, and it would be a little slower to get into the state. He only started practicing slowly when he came to the team, and then he had the physical strength to play the whole game, so he is slowly improving. And he has a very stable temperament. Maybe he didn't perform very well at the beginning, but he still insisted on what he was doing, and in the end he was able to score and share the burden for the team.
Zheng Yecheng has also never played in the whole game, but he studied martial arts and is a martial arts actor. He works very hard on the court and has good physical fitness. He can cause a lot of trouble to the opponent when defending. Although he does not score in the game A lot, but you have to know that it is not easy for him, and we have all seen his persistence. He often encourages everyone even when he is sitting on the bench, which is also an indispensable spiritual encouragement for the team.
