It's all about the team for coach Wang

Wang Ziqi, assistant coach of the Tsinghua University High School boy's basketball team, stood on the sidelines of the NBA Rising Star Invitational in Singapore, barking instructions to his players.

More than a decade ago, he was the one on the court — first as the team's star player, then as its captain.

The journey from player to coach began in the very same high school, where the thriving campus basketball culture shaped his understanding of the game — and planted the seed for his future mission: to develop China's next generation of basketball talent.
