Basketball story of Zhou Qi and defeating Luka, Polish men s basketball player Boniteka

Do you know who the Polish men's basketball captain Matt Ush Bonitka is? If you are not very familiar with it, I will give you a reminder!

In the 2019 Men's Basketball World Cup, China vs. Poland, he steals Zhou Qi from outside the field at the last moment to complete a shocking reversal.

In the 2022 European Cup, he led Poland to defeat Doncic's defending champion Slovenia into the semi-finals of the European Cup, becoming the biggest dark horse in the tournament.

Then in this year's European Cup, he led the team to defeat Doncic again 105-95, thus winning the title of "Doncic Nemesis". He is not an NBA player, but has been leading the Polish men's basketball team to create miracles. Today's basketball character Zhi will bring you the basketball story of Bonnetka.

Polish basketball has always been a strong European basketball team in the 1950s and 1960s. The best result in team history was that it won the runner-up in the 13th European Cup held by Wroclaw in 1963. At that time, the opponent in the final was the former Soviet Union. Because the two countries had special historical hatred issues, the game was given a lot of political significance. Poland paid attention to the whole country at that time, but eventually lost 45 to 61 due to poor strength. Then, since the 1970s, Polish basketball entered a period of recession, and participating in the European Cup became a luxury.

The Polish men's basketball team in 1963 was not until 2000, and players such as Tribansky, Lampe (who played in the CBA), Gott and other players who entered the NBA were emerging, and the overall strength of the Polish men's basketball team began to rebound.

The reason why Bonitka embarked on the path of basketball was also influenced by the above players. Recently, many Chinese basketball practitioners have been excited after Yang Hansen entered the NBA. In addition to being proud of his compatriots, the most important point is that as a practitioner who has experienced the era of Wang Zhizhi, Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, if Yang Hansen can gain a foothold in the NBA, it will affect a whole generation. It was because of Yao Ming's great success that inspired countless children to fall in love with basketball and even embark on the professional basketball path. Bonitka likes basketball because of Tribansky.

Polish NBA No. 1 Tribansky

Tribansky is a 2.18-meter center. After Poland completed its dominant performance, he was signed by the NBA Memphis Grizzlies in 2002, thus becoming the first Polish NBA player. The following year, Machey Lampey was selected in the last round of the draft. Polish fans also personally felt the happiness of Chinese fans supporting Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian back then. It was under this craze that Ponetka completely fell in love with basketball and embarked on the road of basketball.

The joining the NBA with Tribansky and Lampe made Polish basketball flourish. More children are willing to engage in basketball, more funds are willing to sponsor basketball events, and more professional clubs are willing to invest money to cultivate rookies. All this has formed a virtuous cycle. Ponetka has become a beneficiary of this craze. He received basketball youth training at Sprovizanka Club. Because of his outstanding talent, he quickly stood out.

The second left is Bonetka, who was selected for the U17 Best Team, in 2010, and was selected for the Polish U17 national team and represented the team to Germany to participate in the U17 World Championships. As a result, he passed the game and led the team to the finals. In the end, he lost to the American team, including Bill, Drummond, Teague and others, who later became NBA stars, and became famous in one game. Shortly after the game, he was invited to participate in the NBA basketball borderless training camp held in Barcelona, ​​Spain, and also stood out in the training camp to win MVP honors, thus entering the NBA scouting field.

In the summer of 2011, he was invited to Oregon, USA to participate in the Nike Classic. The invited international players in this game were Guo Ailun, Fournier, Bertans, Biyonbo, Saric, Raul Neto, etc., while the US team was composed of Davis, Bill, Gilchrist, Teague, Quin Cook, Rivers Jr., etc. In the end, the US team defeated the international team easily, but Bonnetka scored 17 points and became the scoring champion of the international team. His performance still left a deep impression on many NBA scouts.

If this trend continues, he is very likely to become the third star in Poland to join the NBA. After returning from the United States, he was poached a lot of money by the Polish Aseko Procomm Club. At the same time, in order to attack the NBA, his contract has the terms of free departure.

But as the saying goes, people are famous for their own good and wrong. As a highly anticipated basketball genius, everyone can see that his future prospects are bright. Once they join the NBA, they will become a millionaire. It was also at this time that Bonitka and Dorota Trojanowska fell in love. Dorota Trojanowska is a model and famous for participating in a model talent show in Poland. But Bonitka's parents are very opposed to this relationship. Bonitka is crazy about love. After a very fierce verbal conflict with their parents, Bonitka chose love and ran away from home. Since then, he has completely cut off relations with his parents. After that, Bonitka's parents began to constantly attack their son off the court, and Polish tabloid reporters are happy to report these.

Soon this off-court factor seriously affected Bonetka. His game condition plummeted in the 2012-13 season. In the end, the team coach had to press him on the bench to adjust his state. His parents complained to reporters that it was the female model who was confusing his son and making him feel happy. His mind was not on playing basketball at all. These words made Benetka's image plummet.. ”

Let us continue to look forward to more exciting performances in Boniteka!
