More points than Garnett and Billups in a single game! He deserves his reputation in the Hall of Fame

Recently, the Chinese Basketball Association announced the list of nominations for the 2025 Chinese Basketball Hall of Fame, and Bartel was nominated for "Outstanding Male Athlete". This is a belated recognition for fans familiar with Chinese basketball. As one of the three centers of the Chinese basketball "Mobile Great Wall", Bater's name is always behind Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi, becoming the easily overlooked existence. However, when we look back on his basketball career, we will find that this Mongolian man has left a unique mark in the history of Chinese basketball. Behind the simple and unpretentious data is the persistence and dedication of a center forward, which is an indispensable part of the glorious years of the "Mobile Great Wall" of Chinese basketball.

1. Career honor ensures that the bus is selected as a good name

Batter is selected as an outstanding male athlete in the Chinese Basketball Hall of Fame. This is a comprehensive recognition of his career. He has achieved remarkable achievements in both the NBA and domestic arenas. In 2003, Bartel won the NBA championship with the Spurs and became the first Chinese player to win this honor. Although he did not play in the playoffs, he contributed to the team as part of the training roster.

At the national team level, Bartel participated in three Olympic Games (1996, 2000, 2004), and all entered the top eight in the world with the team. Especially at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, he worked together with the members of the "96 Golden Generation" and left behind a legend. In the

CBA League, Battel played for 16 years and averaged 28.1 points per game in his peak season. Although he did not win the championship, he helped the team win the runner-up three times and was selected into the All-Star lineup many times.

2. The lowest attention in the mobile Great Wall, but does not mean it is not strong.

In the "Mobile Great Wall" of Chinese basketball, Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi and Battel each have different technical characteristics and careers. However, Bartel's light is often obscured by the other two.

Yao Ming became the NBA No. 1 pick and international basketball superstar, while Wang Zhizhi was the first pioneer in Asia to enter the NBA. By contrast, Bartel's NBA career is relatively short, but he has played an important role in the NBA journey of Chinese players.

Batter is the first Chinese player to start in the NBA. After joining the Nuggets in the 2001-2002 season, he won the starting position in the second game, setting a precedent for Chinese players.

After the 2004 Athens Olympics, 29-year-old Bartel gradually withdrew from the national team, which also affected his popularity. At that time, the men's basketball team was adjusted and their attitudes were different from the new core Yao Ming, which led to the veteran missing the national team.

Batter's basketball style is simple and unpretentious, lacking Yao Ming's sense of humor or Wang Zhizhi's elegance and storyline (the incident of not returning home), resulting in relatively low media attention. However, in the eyes of professionals, his strength and contribution to Chinese basketball cannot be ignored.

3. How strong is the peak bus? At his peak, Bater's strength was top in the domestic basketball world.

At the peak of the NBA, that is, on April 17, 2002, Bartle represented the Nuggets against the Timberwolves, scoring 12 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists in the game, ranking third in the team in scoring, surpassing the Timberwolves' combined scores (although that game was relieved as the final game of the regular season).

In the CBA arena, Battel showed terrifying dominance. In the 2004-2005 season, he averaged 28.1 points per game, making him one of the best players in the entire league. He has distinctive technical characteristics, strong body and excellent low-level singles ability, and has certain support and long-range shot level.

Batter's strength is at the top level among domestic players, which makes him not at a disadvantage when facing European and American centers. The Spurs signed Battel that year, partly because they hoped that he could simulate his opponent's powerful center O'Neal in training.

Basketball experts and seniors have objective evaluations of his strength. Yao Ming's mother Fang Fengdi once compared the three centers, believing that they each have their own strengths. Batel's strength and basket skills are his outstanding advantages, although he may not be as good as Wang Zhizhi in terms of movement speed and comprehensiveness.

Batter has regrets in his basketball career: the CBA failed to win the championship, and the national team's career came to an abrupt end at its peak. But that's part of his story. Just as the scenes he choked up several times when he retired were moving, these imperfections shape a real and tough Bartel.

Now, when Bartel is about to enter the Chinese Basketball Hall of Fame, what we should remember is not only the first Asian champion who fought side by side with Duncan in the NBA, but also one of the three cornerstones of the Mobile Great Wall that year. He carries his own unique weight in the development of Chinese basketball.
