On November 21, Beijing time, the latest mobilization meeting of the Chinese men's basketball team came with heavy news, in addition to the statements of Guo Allen and Zhou Qi, Zhao Rui finally openly bowed his head to a wrong thing he had done before.
This time, he openly admitted that as a men's basketball player and public figure, his words and deeds should be worthy of his identity. Zhao Rui's statement is also an apology for the big mistake he made before, this time zhao Rui returned to the national team after 798 days, after Du Feng became the manager of the men's basketball team, but never considered recruiting Zhao Rui, but also because of this 2019, Zhao Rui directly wore the American team uniform after the World Cup game, everything began with his behavior of wearing the American team uniform at that time. Now it turns out that Zhao Rui did finally bow his head and admit his mistake, because this time at the mobilization meeting, he personally gave a statement.
Zhao Rui publicly said that he has been hoping to return to the national team for two years, and wants to prove himself again, and now he is also grateful to the association, thanks to the entire coaching staff for giving him this opportunity, he has always wanted to dedicate to the Chinese men's basketball team at his peak, and now he finally has such a performance opportunity. And Zhao Rui finally reflected on his original behavior, and said that as an athlete, he once thought that he only needed to play well on the field, and playing well and doing his job well was everything, but later he found that this was not the case, because as a public figure, you are not only an athlete, and the inside and outside of the field will also affect many people, so you have to lead by example and set an example on and off the field.
In the end, he admitted that his words and deeds must be worthy of the status of a national team player. Facts have proved that the so-called words and deeds should be worthy of identity, that is, the behavior of his blatant wearing the Uniform of the American team at that time was a move that was completely unworthy of identity, and it was only after the Chinese Men's Basketball World Cup was out that Zhao Rui did this, which was indeed very ugly. If you have achieved good results in itself, you may let some doubts dissipate, but at the doorstep, the heavens and places are favorable and you have been given, and the upper sign has also drawn you, and the result has been such a result and performance, and the result is that in this background you also go to wear the training uniform of the American team, that is sprayed is also deserved, can not enter the national team is also reasonable, only banned him for two years, to be honest it is already lucky.
Because judging from the severity of his incident and the public opinion environment in which the Chinese men's basketball team was located at that time, if it was really a relatively cruel one, it was absolutely more than two years that could be banned, so why only banned him for two years? On the one hand, Zhao Rui's strength is really good, and his personal ability is definitely relatively outstanding, but this is definitely not the main reason, because he was as strong as Wang Zhizhi at the beginning, we also saw that he was banned for a longer time, and Wang Zhizhi's strength was completely explosive Zhao Rui. On the other hand, it may also have a lot to do with the current men's basketball coach Du Feng, after all, Du Feng is now the head coach of the men's basketball team, and the time left for the Chinese men's basketball team to train and prepare for the World Preliminary Tournament at the end of November is very short, and the time is tight.
From November 15th to 22nd, you can't practice what kind of tactics in these 7 days, so there is a high probability that Du Feng will put a lot of the tactical routines and systems he is most familiar with in Guangdong into the national team, and what is needed is the kind of defender who understands his tactical system very well to execute his tactics, then Zhao Rui is a very suitable candidate, after all, he is the assist king of the Guangdong team, and his position in Guangdong is important, if he comes, many of Du Feng's tactics and playing styles can be played. So this is a key point, Du Feng as a coach he can come back, otherwise if it is still Li Nan, I am afraid he still has no chance.
Finally, this may have something to do with Yao Ming's current presidency of the Basketball Association, after all, after Yao Ming came to power, he will be relatively accommodating in this regard, unlike before he directly banned you until he died without a word, which is definitely not enough. So combined with these three reasons, Zhao Rui may be able to return, he must cherish this opportunity to prove himself in the game against Japan, otherwise Zhao Rui made such a big mistake, after nearly 800 days to allow you to return to the national team, if you can not play a convincing performance, then the people who made this decision, including Zhao Rui's head coach Du Feng will encounter doubts, Yao Ming will not escape the interference.
