1. No. 10 Sergey Belov
Not much to say about the deeds and awards, you can find it in various entries, as long as you remember that he was the first player in Soviet basketball. Sergey was born in Tomsk, Siberia. He played in the club of Uralmash in his early years, and later went to CSKA Moscow (CSKA for short, the largest club in the Soviet Union, backed by the Ministry of Defense. There are all kinds of dog-blooded love and hatred).
Sergey joined the Soviet national team in 1967, and his career line rose steadily. The 1972 Munich final was one of his peaks. He played until the 1980 Moscow Olympics before retiring. This Olympics was the only Olympics in the Soviet Union. He was the last torchbearer. At that time, basketball was not the national game of the Soviet Union (ice hockey was more popular), but he was able to ignite the fire. Think about this status. It's amazing.
But who knew that bad luck would come, the 80 Olympics were thought to be a sure win, because the United States withdrew from the Olympics in order to resist the Soviet invasion of Iraq, and the biggest competitor was gone, and only the bronze medal was won. , Sergey was forced to retire, thrown to the club to work as a clerk, and was frozen for six years in the 1980s, unable to engage in basketball work. During this time, he believed in God. It can be seen that the whole person is going crazy.
In the late 1980s, someone finally raised his hand and released him. After staying in China for a while, he went to Italy to become a coach. He came back three years later. When the Soviet Union disintegrated, he went to lead the Russian national team. In 2010, in order to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Moscow Olympics, there was a memoir called "Leaping Up" and then this movie.
Regarding Sergey's character, he is very cold and arrogant in the movie, and has a certain similarity with himself. , except No. 5), diligence is completely accurate. The style of play is precise and stable, and the signature jumper is quite difficult to defend and the hit rate is high.
2. No. 14 Sasha Belov
Same surname as Sergey, but not related, the two are just general teammates/opponents. Sasha is a native of Leningrad (St. Petersburg) and was dug into a basketball school by Coach Kondrasin (renamed Garan Ren in the movie) when he was a child. He grew up under the watchful eyes of Coach Kang. Sha's whole person can be said to be the embodiment of Kondrazine's ideal.
Sasha's club is called Spartak. Compared with the CSKA above, it is a civilian club and is widely welcomed by the people. It is unanimously recognized that "there are two teams with Sasha and without Sasha". If Sergey is one of the pillars of CSKA, Sasha is the only ace of Spartak.
In the movie, Sasha became ill in 1971. In fact, it only happened in 1976, and his condition deteriorated rapidly. He passed away in 1978. This disease is still very difficult to this day. It was indeed a proper terminal illness back then. Jealous of talent. Not only that, Sasha's short basketball career was also quite bumpy. After achieving great honors in 1972, he was kicked out of the national team for smuggling in 1973, and later returned. In 1977, he was framed (or smuggling). Suspension, all kinds of procrastination, until he finally died. Contrasin was devastated by this, and he carried Sasha's 72-year gold medal with him for the rest of his life (Sasha gave him the medal, and other relics to the coach's wife and son).
By the way, a gossip, CSKA coach Gomelsky (also the national team coach before Kondrazin, who appeared in the beginning of the movie) especially likes Sasha and wants to poach him from Spartak, but Sasha Sha Di refuses to obey, and will not leave Kondrashin no matter what. There are rumors that Gomelski threw an olive branch to Sasha during the 77-year suspension, promising to resolve the matter if he wants to transfer, but Sasha also If he didn't go, who would have thought that he would die a year later.
Sasha's character is very likable. He is the kind of person who loves life and is always available to friends. According to Sergei's memoirs, he is "an artist on the field and in life", but he also lacks restraint because of his favor. , and sometimes accidentally do things that cross the line.
The date of Sasha's death was October 3, 1978, and Sergey was October 3, 2013. The two Belovs died on the same day, which has to be said to be a wonderful fate.
3. No. 5 Modestas Pauluskas
Lithuanian, captain of the Soviet Union from 1969 to 1974. It doesn't seem from the movie that he is the dignified captain, because he is always being petty and is also responsible for a "defection" story line, but in fact, the movie image of this character is very different from the deity, and the deity No. 5 is 100% Jingsu, a well-known patriot, never thought of defecting, and his personality is stable and sociable. He is a natural leader who is willing to sacrifice for the team and take the lead. Sergey calls him "My forever" Captain of the Country" and wrote his biography, which shows the weight.
Comrade Pauloskas made his debut very early. He joined the Lithuanian club "Greenwood" at the age of 17. A few years later, he participated in the first international competition and won the MVP (European Championship in 1965). He was the youngest MVP in Europe at that time. In the late 1960s, he could be said to be the number one basketball star of the Soviet team. He was one year younger than No. 10, but he entered the national team earlier than him, and his peak was a few years earlier than No. 10. At that time, coach Gomelsky saw that the two had similar personalities, so he put No. 5 and No. 10 in the same room as roommates (so they lived together for eight years), and they also became best friends, so they were shot in the movie. There's a reason these two often talk to each other in a two-person world.
However, the tragedy of No. 5 is more complicated. He is extremely diligent and a perfectionist. He wants to take care of everything. The national team and the club have very high requirements on him. Most games have to be played for 40 minutes, which is extremely exhausting. Big. He initially played as a shooting guard, and he had to switch to a small forward due to the needs of the team. However, he is only 194cm, which is a difficult position to play. During the period of Kondrashin's leadership, he slowly asked him to retreat to the defense. Even for tactical reasons, he may not be able to start.
In short, due to the contradiction of personal positioning and long-term overload operation, No. 5 will not participate in the competition after 1974, and officially retired in 1976. After that, he became the coach of the Soviet National Youth Team and took Sabonis. Yes, Sabonis went to see it at his old man's home when "The Killing of Munich" premiered in Vilnius.
In the late 1980s, the Lithuanian independence movement intensified. It is estimated that Pauluskas encountered a great identity crisis at this time, so he returned to Lithuania before the disintegration. His career was not very smooth. It is conceivable that his pro-Soviet stance was unpopular in the political environment at the time, especially in Greenwoods, a team with a particularly obvious tendency towards independence.
Therefore, in the movie, the highlight of No. 5 is "defection", which is "politically correct" for the current Lithuanian audience, but for the deity, it may be more complicated. But he doesn't seem to mind. In fact, he has given a little guidance to the film. He has met the actors of No. 5 and No. 10, and told them about the events of the year, so he probably read it. Woolen cloth.
4. No. 9 Ivan Yedeshko
The Belarusian, who was in the club in Minsk in his early years, later went to CSKA, and was poached by coach Kondrasin for the national team. His position is point guard, and the super long pass that sent the last ball in the 1972 finals is said to have been practiced by Kondrashin before, so the coach dared to let him play with confidence.
Ivan is a well-known good-natured character, the kind who doesn't get angry when anyone jokes. In the movie, because the casting is relatively young, he looks young. In fact, the No. 9 deity looks mature and is not too young. There is a rather magical gossip, that is, Ivan once saw players No. 5 and No. 10 walking together, followed for two hours, and found that they didn't say a word between them. I was very shocked... But Ivan, you Wouldn't it be more shocking to stalk someone for two hours?
Perhaps it is because of his wide heart and fat body. He is still alive, living in Moscow, and living a good life.
5. No. 7 Zal (myopic brother)
Kazakhs, in fact, is of Russian-Kazakhstan. He is a slender player with good endurance, nicknamed "The Snake of Turkestan". Myopia is real, to what extent? Even if you are sitting on the sidelines watching the game, the blue frame that is farther away may not know who scored the goal - to that extent. No. 7 sometimes wears glasses and sometimes doesn't. After contact lenses appeared, they wore contact lenses. However, because they were the same lenses of the year, they would occasionally fall out when playing, so the game had to be suspended and then all the players lay on the ground to look for glasses.
The deity No. 7 looks quite fierce, not the same as an actor, and is also a habitual smuggler. When he returned to Moscow from the United States in 1973, a gun was found in his luggage, although he always denied that it belonged to him, saying that it was someone else. Framed and framed, the truth is unknown... Maybe he was really framed, maybe he was a ruthless man. He is still alive now, with a very strong body.
6. Georgia Duo
Put them together here. Both were born in Kutaisi, Georgia. Zurab Sakandelidze (No. 6) is a shooting guard and Mikhail Korkiah (No. 13) is a small forward because of fellow countrymen. Good brothers, they are all light players in terms of size. In the 1972 finals, Coach Kondrashin wanted to play fast breaks in the opening game, so he put them in the starting lineup, and the effect was very good. The Americans didn't react immediately. Scored and gave the Soviets the lead for most of the time.
Mishko (nicknamed by Mikhail) was kicked out of the national team in 1973 for smuggling, and later came back to Georgia to coach Adam, but in the 1980s he was sentenced for doing business and went to prison for a few years. After he came out, the Soviet Union disintegrated In the 1990s, Misiko went to the United States to open an investment company. At the same time, he also has his own football club in Tbilisi. He can be called a business wizard.
Sarkandelidze, who retired quickly after 72 years, is a veteran who played seven seasons before the Olympics. He also worked as a coach for a while, and then changed his career to engage in industry. It is said that he was in the tea business and became the leader of Georgian enterprises. I don’t know whether Georgians have entrepreneurial talent or what... In short, they are very successful in business. But unfortunately, both of them were not in good health. Sakandelize lost his son when he was in his fifties, which was a huge blow. He died of illness in 2004. Just 13 days later, Mischko also died at any time. Before that, he attended a friend's funeral and said "my heart died with it", both of whom were less than sixty years old.
7. Vladimir Kondrazin (Gallan Ren)
First of all, why did the coach change his name in the movie? Because Condrasin's family did not agree with the adaptation of the film (the original script was indeed very exaggerated and OOC), they felt that they insulted the deceased and sued the crew, so they had to change the name.
Kondrasin is a native of Leningrad, born in 1929. He has experienced the Siege of Leningrad. He is a person who loves his hometown very much. . His son was born disabled, and he was never cured in his life (in the movie, he seemed to be cured, the family must be very sad when they saw it), Sasha is equivalent to his other son, because Sasha's father died young, Kondrazin took over the role of his father in a sense, and the two families became almost one.
After Sasha's death, Coach Kang hosted the "Belov Cup" to commemorate him, and teammates of 72 years will also gather in St. Petersburg to commemorate him. However, in the later stage of Coach Kang's life, because he lost Sasha and was not good at fighting for power and profit, he often helped people and ended up with no surplus food at home. Everyone understood the social environment after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, so the family situation deteriorated. It is even more pitiful that he left orphans and widows after his death. After the film was released, it gained some attention and the situation improved slightly.
Later, the Belov Cup was renamed the "Kondrasin-Belov Cup" to commemorate the father and son.
Let’s just share it here. In fact, I dug up a lot of news interviews and biographies of that year. There are really many secrets. Everyone has their own story. It is a feature film, and the ups and downs in it are moving. "The Killing of Munich" is a good movie. It lets us know the legends of this generation, but it is a fairy tale after all. All stories end at the best moment. Everyone fights, laughs, and lives from the heart, and no one Ask about the future.
