Wow, wow, wow.
Folks, what's going on? The official announcement from the Guangzhou team:
Due to improper handling of personal affairs, Zhang Xingliang has been indefinitely suspended.
According to well-known domestic media figures, Zhang Xingliang will at least be suspended until the end of the second stage.
Oh, this guy can go home early for the New Year.
It turns out that Zhang Xingliang was exposed for bringing his art student girlfriend into the team dormitory before a game, staying up all night to help her prepare for her IELTS exam.
What's noteworthy is that this incident came to light because the woman herself posted about it on Weibo.
In the comment section, Zhang Xingliang publicly confronted netizens for his girlfriend, leading to further escalation and ultimately resulting in his suspension by the Guangzhou team.
So here's the question: how did Zhang Xingliang get his girlfriend into the dormitory? The answer is... he stuffed her into a suitcase...
It must be said that art students have great flexibility. Judging from private photos, the woman is very beautiful, with an excellent figure ratio and a stunning sense of style.
But no matter how pretty the girlfriend is, it doesn't change the fact that Zhang Xingliang violated team rules, which is why he faced criticism from netizens and was punished by the Guangzhou team.
Zhang Xingliang, a player from 2004, stands at 1.85 meters tall and plays as a guard. This season marks his sophomore year, having played in 26 games with 13 starts, averaging 22.3 minutes per game with 6.4 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists, with a shooting percentage of 35.3% and a three-point percentage of 32.6%.
From the data, we can see that Zhang Xingliang was highly regarded by the Guangzhou team this season, but unfortunately, his off-court life has now brought him down. It is hoped that he will take this as a lesson. Encountering setbacks isn't necessarily a bad thing; it can allow one to start anew and become even better.
To date this season, the Guangzhou team ranks 14th in the league with a record of 7 wins and 21 losses, and has recently been hit by an injury wave.
The team's star player Guo Ailun has been out since early December last year due to a leg strain; core forward Jiao Boqiao suffered a ligament tear and may miss the rest of the season.
As for our two-time MVP Ding Yanhang, during his first physical test this season, he only successfully passed the strength test (bench press + squat), and will take a make-up test for shooting and the 17-turn test at a later date, so he has not yet obtained his work permit, and the date of his debut is naturally far away.
