The second stage of the CBA regular season has begun for several days, the result of the New Year's War between Liaoning and Yue has surprised many people, the Liaoning men's basketball team has blossomed inside and outside to comprehensively suppress the Guangdong men's basketball team, at most leading the opponent by more than 30 points, because of Zhao Rui's absence, we have not been able to see the wonderful showdown between him and Guo Allen, the two national team defenders. It should be known that Zhao Rui has not been able to enter the national team for a long time for some reasons. In the history of the men's basketball team, there is another player who was expelled by the national men's basketball team. Zhang Bo, the first to be expelled from the national men's basketball team since 2002, what is the status quo of retiring for many years?
Speaking of Zhang Bo, there may be many young fans who have not heard of his name, but the old fans are certainly not unfamiliar with him, he was once the first offensive defender in the history of the former Bayi men's basketball team (disbanded), also known as the future of the men's basketball guard line, once selected for the national team, but he also became the first player in the national men's basketball team to be expelled since 2002, announced his retirement in 16 years, how about Zhang Bo, who has retired for many years?
He was expelled from the national team for violating regulations
Zhang Bo entered the August Engineering Compound at the age of 14 before he began to formally practice basketball, and before that, he had not been exposed to formal basketball training. With excellent physical fitness and talent coupled with his own hard work in 2005, Zhang Bo was selected for the national junior team, and it took only more than a year from contact with regular basketball training to being selected for the national youth team, which is enough to see Zhang Bo's amazing talent.
Zhang Bo was promoted to the Bayi men's basketball team in the 08-09 season, but at that stage, the team's forward position was well stocked, and Zhang Bo, who originally played small forward, transformed into a defender under the guidance of head coach Adijiang, and he also became the first offensive defender in the history of the Bayi men's basketball team. In just over a year, he was selected for the 2010 national team training squad for his outstanding performances. It was also in that year that changed his entire career and sent him to the hot search at that time.
The release of the national team training list that year was on May 4, and some media broke the photo of him and a model in May, which caused a hot discussion at the time. Since then, it has been rumored that Zhang Bo was expelled from the national team for violating access control regulations (not returning to the dormitory before the stipulated time). After being expelled from the national team, Zhang Bo wrote a check, and it was more than half a month before he was allowed to train with the Bayi team. In the 14-15 season, plagued by injuries, he can still hand over the data of averaging 12.6 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game, and Zhang Bo, who was only 28 years old in October 2016, announced his retirement.
In fact, his name did not appear in the team's roster the season before he announced his retirement. It was also in that season that he made a clear plan for his future, posting on his personal social media, reviewing his 15-year basketball career and thanking the team and coach. After retiring from the army, Zhang Bo began a new life, he opened a gym and rehabilitation center, began to get involved in business, and he was also invited to participate in the commentary competition, and his career developed well.
28 years old is the golden stage of basketball players, this time to choose to retire is somewhat a pity, as a player, especially selected to the national team, they need to focus more on the basketball in their hands, but also hope that active players can invest more efforts on the court.
