Dam Huy Dai and the story of the predestined relationship with Danang basketball

But leaving everything behind, Da Huy back to the land of the familiar West River. In front of you, you're a bigger target, the South VBA pro basketball.

The 2016 season was the first time VBA was organized, the playground had been boiled after years of Saigon Heat represented in Vietnam at ABL... in the basketball of East Asia.

The first season has five teams, stretching all over the domain. A team in DC, two teams in Tp. Ho Chi Minh, a group of Da Nang and a team in the West. As the son of the land of the Nine Dragon River, it's hard for the great Lord Commander Cantho Catfish.

In that group, some of your other West brothers fought like the Song Song Yi, Chen Ling and Cheng, And somehow, your vision came out of the West, through the two teams in the city with Uncle to head out to the Middle East, the only place that was Danang Dragons.

Eight-22-1-half-mile team looks like five teams in Da Nang, and this team shows up at the national arena which makes you feel very inquisitive, makes you also want to go out a new country, and give you an eight million at the other than an eight thousand thousand.

“I just thought it was just choosing Da Nang, not thinking about what would live or develop my career here. I just treated VBA as an experience and then returned to the West. ”

It is true that Dam Huy Dai chose Da Nang, but the word "Duyen" made Da Nang choose Dam Huy Dai.

If not for a bit of curiosity and trying to experience new, it is not necessarily the image of "uncle Dai" as fans Danang Dragons transmitted each other like today.

But not only the Dragons basketball circle, Dam Huy Dai is also a more popular name in another community, which is the Danang basketball community.

He is still a player of the Can Tho basketball team, where he "rely on" for a while after Soc Trang pulled a basketball from the list of priority sports. Living and working in Can Tho, Dam Huy Dai was able to continue training, nurturing passion and competing in the system of the Vietnam Basketball Federation.

But after the VBA 2018 season, the charm appeared with Dam Huy Dai. A girl in the Han River land noticed the player from the West. After watching Danang Dragons and Huy Dai competed, she began to open her heart.

Contacting each other via Facebook because Huy Dai at that time came back home, the two started talking more to make an appointment in 2019, the player of Dam family went to Da Nang to play to start meeting directly and then appointment. dancing.

“At the time of the 2019 Military Festival, the two of them started to meet, getting to know each other and found it to start dating. Since then, he was charming with his wife, ”Dam Huy Dai shyly shared.

The Da Nang girl is the wife of Dam Huy Dai today, who accidentally blows a little more "Han River" into the heart of the Western boy. Dating for a while, the two determined the future plan and officially getting married on a beautiful day of 2019.

The rope linked to the central land is more and more pronounced, Dam Huy Dai decided that she would stick with Da Nang for a long time. Just to build a small, medium family to light the passion of passion and orange ball. However, when in a place considered a foreign land, the outskirts of the country are not easy to arrange or guide life.

Closing the VBA 2019 season, also the 4th season with Danang Dragons, Dam Huy Dai fell into a dilemma, where he met the sad situation of the player's career.

VBA only lasts about 4-5 months in the year (including the time of concentration before the season), pushing the player into the "unemployment" state in the remaining 7-8 months.

Knowing that a professional athlete, not playing, they can still participate in teaching and training. But in Da Nang, everything is not so simple.

Three weeks after the season ended, teammates away from home like Dam Huy Dai left the "dragon cave" to return to their homeland. As for him, he still stayed because he wanted to stick with the small family he built.

"In 2019, when you get used to it and began to plan a future with your wife, Dai will determine whether to stay in Da Nang because if you return to the West, everything will be very difficult for two young people to know each other," the former. Danang Dragons player shared.

“Actually, when I stayed, I didn't know what it would be, I didn't know where to make basketball. Thanks to some brothers who knew through basketball in Da Nang, I asked and contacted to apply for a job. But not to ask for it immediately, so I stayed in Da Nang, waiting for the answer ”.

Dam Huy Dai's job is sent to some places, including BDC - Basketball Development Center Da Nang. But because he waited for too long, he had set a day to return to the West, returning to his homeland to calculate the next water in his career.

The original plan of Dam Huy Dai is to practice and teach basketball in the West. But approaching the day, he received an invitation to try.

Another charm came after Danang Dragons, after his wife and now a place of passion for orange ball.

Not only worked to cover life and build a home, not long after, BDC also handed into Huy Dai's hand another suggestion that he could not refuse.

With the trust of the Director of the Center and the Basketball Community of Da Nang, Dam Huy Dai was placed in the captain's seat for a young team of the center, later this collective became the youth team of the whole city Danang.

Born and raised in Soc Trang, which is considered the cradle of basketball, Dam Huy joins an extremely methodical training system. Each level one level, the players will have to try to improve their level in the hope of entering the youth team, entering the recruitment team before being recruited.

As Dam Huy Dai himself, who has participated in the Vietnamese national team attending the 28th SEA Games in Singapore, he spent many years of hard training. Thanks to that, he understood what was needed to bring a player at the age of students to a talent of the whole city or beyond at the national level.

Awarded by BDC and the Danang basketball community, Dam Huy Dai has become a coach to the youth team and is an indispensable part of finding talent for the team.

Combined with the basketball community in the Han River City, the two young teams were established including U15 men and U15 women. The goal of these collectives is to towards the Tenth National Phu Dong Health Association in 2020 with a further orientation including two more teams, U17 men and U17 women.

However, it was a little unlucky when the tournament was moved to 2021 due to the influence of Covid-19 pandemic. However, that did not prevent the enthusiasm of Dam Huy Dai of his young player.

“When he founded this youth team, he poured his enthusiasm in a lot. This is also the first generation to be released to help Da Nang basketball grow with a professional environment and a higher peak, ”Dai shared.

“In addition to training, he also screened and refined what he had experienced in the old days to apply to the children, how to do it so that the children could go up and develop. In terms of orientation for development, it is necessary to do it with a mind, always trying. ”

Talking more about the story -oriented story for young players, the U15 Da Nang coach shared about the companion story of the Department, which he always wants to exist to help young players feel more secure in pursuing. future.

The fear of the Da Commander's heart is the image that used to appear in the old moon's mind, where basketball from the number one sport one of the years suddenly disappeared. The players have to go everywhere, someone can still follow their basketball lessons in Poetry or Tp. Ho Chi Minh, but someone has to quit and find another job to feed his family.

Certainly Huy Dai did not want this to happen to his current students, even though his players were working very young.

The charm with Da Nang appeared more than a year ago, now he has prepared to welcome a new member in a small family. Another reason for Dam Huy to "be tied up" to stay in this land, but it was not easy for a child living far away from his homeland.

“When I stayed, now I have a family, everything is stable, it can be said to be a custom. But sometimes feel very homesick, miss friends or remember the culture of living in your locality. Really, who is not like that. ”

However, a little nostalgia will soon be filled with two things, one is the happiness from the family, from the new wife and girl born; The second is a passion for basketball being continued to wings with a player who has stepped across the slope of his career.

At VBA Draft 2020, the name Dam Huy Dai was suddenly promoted. The team chose him as Cantho Catfish, the original collective he had considered to compete from 2016.

If that season VBA has an event to recruit players, Dam Huy Dai will quickly nod because of a little debt with his homeland. But 4 years later, everything was different from the Western boy living in Da Nang.

“When I was chosen by Cantho Catfish at Draft, I felt very worried. I had 4 seasons for Danang Dragons and was expected to be very confused at the beginning of the year, not knowing whether to attend VBA or not. ”

Do not share that whether or not will attend VBA 2020, but with the biggest priority for the family, perhaps Dam Huy Dai will temporarily put aside the story. In addition, he also wants to focus his maximum time on the youth team, the product he is extremely enthusiastic.

“When deciding to join VBA, the current job will be interrupted. Sometimes I am very busy in terms of time, so everything will have to be thought carefully, ”Huy Dai shared.

“I really can't think about it. I don't think Da Nang gives me opportunities like this.

When I was young, I loved training and liked to be a youth team. But in the West, to do this, I will have to compete a lot because the number of people chosen very little.

Like athletes each team will have 12-15 friends, but the coach has only one person. So sometimes thinking again, I feel that from the stage I stayed and worked until now when I was a young team like this, it was really a charm. ”

From the story of a curious man in the land of the guests, each charming has brought the Da Commander back to Da Da Nang every time you leave. At first, maybe you'll reject Da Nang's job as a adopted home.

Played the basketball chase from five 2004, the career of the Da Lord Commander has now entered a new page: a small family, a steady life and a dream of his childhood growing up in the Moon.

It's all thanks to something that Da Mobile calls it a fate.
