August 12th News Recently, former NBA and CBA player Motieyunas participated in the Michał Winiarczyk program and talked about his experience in playing in the CBA.

He said: "From the basketball itself, those days were quite difficult. If you have to play 35 to 38 minutes in a game, you have to carry the team. The referee does not favor you, always swearing your foul, but let your opponent make rude physical contact with you. It's really difficult. After playing every game, your body feels like you're beaten, and this state lasts for 6 months, and you have to play games in a row. In addition, you have to play 14 or 15 games a month, almost one game the next day."

"I mean, I love basketball, and I enjoyed those days. But I really paid a lot there. Many people say that it's so easy to play there. , but I don't think it's easy. Our team has always been in the top four. For me, those days were really, very challenging and very difficult. Some people say that Chinese basketball is different now, but indeed, the players they sign are different now. At that time, I was all top Champions League players, NBA players, or NBA players who were about to retire. These people are experienced and have strong scoring ability, and some are still super-strong scorers, and they are top scorers everywhere. So, it's really not easy to fight against them and adapt to the physical intensity of the referee allowed. During those days, my body was too much."
