Guangzhou Long Lions are not having an easy time, experiencing a short streak of surprises at the beginning, but now facing a long losing streak, ranking at the bottom of the league. Unexpectedly, within the team, young player Zhang Xingliang and his dancer girlfriend have engaged in some rule-breaking antics.
The reason lies in Zhang Xingliang placing his girlfriend inside his personal suitcase and sneaking her into the team dormitory. To make matters worse, his girlfriend, with a smug expression, posted photos on social media of the two of them tutoring each other on homework. This act is akin to poking a hornet's nest, making it widely known. Even the Guangdong Men's Basketball Club finds it difficult to overlook this behavior and can only urgently issue an internal notice, announcing the suspension of Zhang Xingliang from participating in the club's first-team games and training. Many fans have also appeared in the comment section, stating that they saw Zhang Xingliang leaving with his girlfriend after matches, clearly not focusing on training.
Zhang Xingliang, born in 2004, is only 20 years old, and this is his second season in the CBA. He has played 26 games this season, barely averaging 6+2 stats. Zhang Xingliang claims he was tutoring his girlfriend because she had too many failed courses at school. However, records show that Zhang Xingliang previously attended Guangzhou Sports Vocational and Technical College, which is essentially a quasi-junior college or even a secondary vocational school. As a sports talent, most of his time was spent on basketball training, and he even entered the CBA without completing his studies at this junior college, lacking substantial professional knowledge reserves.
Moreover, his girlfriend is an art dance student, and their majors are completely unrelated. Zhang Xingliang can at most help his girlfriend with some stretching exercises for dance moves. The excuse of tutoring homework is hard to believe, and their actions are indeed indescribable. One is not studying well and failing many courses at school, while the other is performing poorly on the court and not focusing on training, yet they still engage in rule-breaking by entering the player's dormitory and pretending to study hard together.
In the comment section, Zhang Xingliang even argues with fans, seemingly not recognizing his mistakes and even taking pride in his identity as a CBA player. Perhaps this is the reason behind the decline in the men's basketball team's strength: young players have no focus on training, and their ideological education and cultural knowledge are lacking.
