Recently, the Guangzhou Loong Lions Basketball Club of the CBA released an official notice, imposing an indefinite suspension on player Zhang Xingliang. The men's basketball team of Guangzhou bluntly stated, "Based on the objective fact that player Zhang Xingliang violated the relevant management regulations of the first team of the club, starting from today, Zhang Xingliang will be suspended from participating in the first team matches of the club." It can be seen that the reason for Zhang Xingliang's suspension is violating the team's regulations. Normally, a minor punishment would suffice for violating team rules, so why did Guangzhou go to such great lengths as to impose an indefinite suspension?
The reason stems from a post by a female netizen online a few days ago. A female netizen posted online, saying "Honey, when can you send it to me?" Accompanying this message were several pictures. From the pictures, everyone could see that her boyfriend was helping her with her studies. It seems that she was approaching the end of the semester and hadn't done well in her classes, needing to catch up urgently. If it were anyone else, it wouldn't be worth mentioning, but the boy in the picture was none other than Zhang Xingliang, a young player from Guangzhou's men's basketball team.
Interestingly, Guangzhou's men's basketball team had a match scheduled soon after. Combining the time of the girl's post and the pictures, it's not hard to guess that Zhang Xingliang stayed up all night before the game to help his girlfriend with her English. Even more interestingly, the place where Zhang Xingliang tutored his girlfriend was in his own player's dormitory. So, how did this girl get into the player's dormitory? Here comes the shocking part: Zhang Xingliang stuffed his girlfriend into a suitcase and sneaked her back to the dormitory. As a professional player, doing such bizarre things before a game, it would be incredible if he wasn't suspended!
It is reported that Zhang Xingliang's girlfriend is a dance student who doesn't pay much attention to academic learning, has very poor grades, and has even retaken several subjects. To be fair, it makes sense for her to seek tutoring from her boyfriend. However, who asks their boyfriend for tutoring before a game, and makes them stay up all night to do it? All the energy is spent on tutoring; how can one play a game the next day? As a player, Zhang Xingliang made a ridiculous mistake. Firstly, he didn't follow the team's rules; secondly, he lacked self-discipline. Moreover, this couple isn't smart enough. In today's era of information explosion, a small spark can start a prairie fire.
Thinking about it, it's also a tragedy for Chinese basketball. When will some young people grow up?
