In recent years, when talking about the Japanese men's basketball team, there is a name that has to be mentioned, that is, Hachimura, a mixed-race player, since the 9th pick in the first round of 19 years was selected by the Wizards, Hachimura is japan's core player, but also the wizards' key training object.
In the rookie season, he averaged 13.5 points and 6.1 rebounds per game, and entered the playoffs for the first time the following year, averaging 14.8 points and 7.2 rebounds per game, shooting 61.7%. At the end of the season, Hachimura went on to play with the Japanese national team at the Olympic Games on his doorstep.
But after playing the Olympics, when Hachimura was preparing to usher in the third year of his career, he quietly disappeared.
Until the start of the new NBA season, Hachimura still did not appear in people's field of vision, and the Wizards officially announced that hachimura was absent from the game due to personal reasons.
No one can understand the disappearance of the Eight Villages, and the outside world is also divided into opinions.
On the Internet, it was rumored that Hachimura's family had a car accident, and only he survived, which caused a great blow to his psychology, but in the end this rumor was broken by Hachimura's brother posting photos of luxury cars in social media.
Another theory is that Hachimura was violently attacked by the Internet, which led to depression.
Cyberbursts? Isn't Hachimura highly acclaimed both inside and outside of Japan? It all has to start with the Olympics.
As the first basketball player in the history of Japanese basketball to be selected by the NBA, he has great significance for the Japanese basketball community, and Japan, as the host of the Olympic Games, was awarded the responsibility of opening standard-bearer in order to reflect the inclusiveness and diversity of the country.
But for such an operation, the Japanese native people do not buy it, they think it is a very absurd thing, because in their view, Hachimura is a mixed-race child, not pure Japanese, can not really represent Japan.
Therefore, there are all kinds of brainless sprays on the Internet, and the Japanese official, Hachimura, does not fall, such a situation is difficult for Hachimura to accept, because in his own view, he is a pure Japanese.
Internet violence, people who have not experienced it, may not be able to experience that feeling, in this case, maybe time may be able to cure everything.
Over the years, many players in the league have had psychological problems, DeRozan, Lefour have suffered from depression, rocket star John Lucas has said: more than 40% of the league's players have more or less psychological problems, but only 5% are willing to accept psychological help.
Fortunately, after 53 days of disappearing, Hachimura finally had news, and on November 18, Wizards President Shepard talked about hachimura in an interview. He said Hachimura may make a comeback in 1-2 weeks, but it will take a while to travel to the development league to get back into the rotation.
Although I don't know how long it will take, I still hope that Hachimura will return as soon as possible.
