Official Announcement! Chinese Men's Basketball Rising Star Suffers Serious Injury, Season Over - Can He Prove Himself Again?
Guangzhou Men's Basketball rising star Jiao Boqiao suffered an ankle injury. According to the latest report from Jiao Boqiao Studio, Jiao Boqiao was found to have a rupture of the lateral collateral ligament of the right ankle, damage to the anterior talofibular ligament and calcaneofibular ligament, damage to the right ankle cartilage, and the formation of bone spurs. Given the cumulative effect of old and new injuries, experts recommend undergoing ligament reconstruction surgery. Jiao Boqiao's Achilles tendon repair is expected to take several months or even half a year to recover, which means that Jiao Boqiao's season is over in advance.
It is worth noting that the national team has always been very concerned about Jiao Boqiao's injury and recovery plan, and the surgery performed on him was arranged by the national team. It is reported that Jiao Boqiao can get out of bed three to four weeks after the operation and can start rehabilitation training in two to three months. It will take about half a year to return to the court.
This season, under the circumstances of Guangzhou Men's Basketball rebuilding, Jiao Boqiao ushered in the best opportunity for growth, gaining a lot of playing time and ball possession. On average, he played 28.4 minutes per game, contributing 13.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, 0.9 assists, and 0.7 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 44.9% and a three-point percentage of 31.3%, averaging 1.3 three-pointers per game. After special training with the national team, Jiao Boqiao not only became more delicate in his basket skills but also developed a three-point shooting technique, gradually transforming into a space-type interior player. In the past few stages, Jiao Boqiao has been a regular member of the national team, but due to the impact of this injury, he will miss the next window period of China Men's Basketball training camp. He will devote himself entirely to injury treatment. This season, Jiao Boqiao's ankle has been repeatedly attacked by injuries, and it is hoped that this surgery will allow him to bid farewell to the influence of injuries and return to the court better.
After Jiao Boqiao's season is over, the rotation of Guangzhou Men's Basketball's interior line will become even more tense. There are no local interior players who can carry the load, and under the difficulty of making the playoffs, Guangzhou Men's Basketball will mainly focus on training young players in the future, hoping that more bench players will step up. For the 23-year-old Jiao Boqiao, after completing the Achilles tendon repair surgery, as long as he undergoes professional rehabilitation training and maintains disciplined exercise, there is still hope for him to return to the national team in the future and continue to make waves in the CBA arena.
