In fact, after playing that game in North Control, I cried badly. At that time, in the middle of the stadium, after everyone shouted and cheered together, I had mixed feelings, and I was very happy to enter the playoffs. Coming here (Tianjin team), I also have some expectations for myself. --Zhang Zhaoxu
After winning the North Control men's basketball team, Zhang Zhaoxu thought that the Tianjin men's basketball team had entered the playoffs steadily, and he cried with excitement. Before the start of the season, Zhang Zhaoxu had been playing for the Shanghai men's basketball team, playing in many playoffs and reaching the semifinals. Playing in the playoffs should not have been so exciting, Zhang Zhaoxu cried because he had expectations of himself and proved himself again.
After the end of last season, Zhang Zhaoxu's contract with the Shanghai men's basketball team expired, but the two sides did not renew their contracts. The ostensible reason is that the Shanghai men's basketball team is unwilling to give Zhang Zhaoxu a satisfactory contract. In essence, the Shanghai men's basketball team believes that Zhang Zhaoxu's fuel tank has not much oil left, and it is impossible to pick up the beams, after all, he is plagued by injuries and diseases, and he is also 35 years old. In the 2019-20 season, Zhang Zhaoxu played only 16 games, and in the 2020-21 season, he played 33 games. That is to say, it is difficult for Zhang Zhaoxu to play a full season of health. But Zhang Zhaoxu does not think so, he feels that he can still play a high level of performance.
Switching to the Tianjin men's basketball team, Zhang Zhaoxu chose to start over, which is also a good opportunity for him to prove himself. In the new club, Zhang Zhaoxu suffered an injury at the beginning of the game and missed many games. However, after returning from injury, Zhang Zhaoxu played a high level of performance and well protected the basket of the Tianjin men's basketball team. The Tianjin men's basketball team has built a good defensive system with Zhang Zhaoxu as the core.
Although he has only averaged 5 points per game this season, zhang Zhaoxu is still the top CBA, or even the best defensive big man, only on the defensive end. There is no Zhang Zhaoxu, Tianjin men's basketball team judged two teams, he proved his worth. Zhang Zhaoxu is regarded as the absolute hero of the Tianjin men's basketball team to enter the playoffs, and is also praised for being worthy of the top salary.
Zhang Zhaoxu also relieved great psychological pressure, and he repaid the trust of the management of the Tianjin men's basketball team. "The leaders trusted me and then they put up with the pressure and the first stage of the team was injured and sick. The leader helped me bear a lot of pressure that should not be put on by them, and I was very happy to complete this task with the team at the end and enter the playoffs. Zhang Zhaoxu said.
Failed to get a satisfactory contract extension from the Shanghai men's basketball team, when Zhang Zhaoxu was in trouble, it was the Tianjin men's basketball team that trusted him and was willing to give him a chance. In contact with Zhang Zhaoxu, the Tianjin men's basketball team was very sincere and also issued a maximum salary contract. However, at that time, the signing of the Tianjin men's basketball team was not optimistic at that time, especially the leader of the team, Zhang Zhihan, was under great pressure.
Zhang Zhaoxu's injuries in the past two seasons have had a really big impact, and the Tianjin men's basketball team may sign a sick number with heavy gold. This is also the first time that Zhang Zhihan has sacrificed a big hand after transforming the management. Once it fails, the consequences are incalculable. Zhang Zhaoxu also knows the pressure faced by the management led by Zhang Zhihan, and he is also a sentient person who wants to repay the other party, and the best way is to help the team enter the playoffs.
Judging from Zhang Zhaoxu's performance, Zhang Zhihan did not look at the wrong person. Zhang Zhaoxu, who is 2.21 meters tall, is a representative of the CBA's high-quality defensive interior line, has entered the national team, and he is also the most urgently needed big man in the Tianjin men's basketball team. It also lies in the fact that Zhang Zhaoxu is a big man with pursuit and affection, and is willing to go all out for the Tianjin men's basketball team. In the end, Zhang Zhihan and Zhang Zhaoxu achieved a win-win situation, the former won the results, and the latter proved himself again.
