Dreaming back to the 2012 London Olympics, in the men's singles final, Zhang Jike defeated Wang Hao to win the Olympic men's singles championship.
From table tennis junior to Grand Slam (Olympic Games, World Championships, World Cup three men's singles champions) in just 445 days! This time, Zhang Jike represented China's table tennis to create another brilliant victory that attracted the attention of the world.
It is regrettable that in the past eleven years, in 2023, Zhang Jike owed a huge gambling debt, and the news of leaking Jing Tian's private photos was once again out of the circle, but since then, Zhang Jike has become a "scumbag among scumbags", and everyone shouts and beats.
While people are resentful, they can't help but feel regret: there is no Zhang Jike in the table tennis world.
The well-known journalist Li Weiji sent three Weibo messages in response to Zhang Jike's gambling incident, Zhang Jike's studio did not respond, and Weibo confirmed three things:
One: Zhang Jike's leaked Jing Tian's private videos and photos are true.
Two: Zhang Jike's gambling debt is true.
Three: Zhang Jike caused a criminal case because of gambling.
When the reporter called and asked Zhang Jike about these things, Zhang Jike swallowed and hung up directly when he wanted to leak the private video. According to Sina Entertainment's insiders: he is not very willing to be on the cusp of the storm.
This kind of unresolved attitude makes people tired, whether Zhang Jike can be as frank as "overlord screw".
However, judging from the reactions of various brands, partners, and head anchors, Zhang Jike has no way to live.
The head anchor crazy Xiao Yang Ge, as a friend, once posted on Weibo "Please don't black Keko" has been deleted, and the cooperative VC video has also been removed; The locomotive Internet celebrity ruffian is suspected of being deceived by 10 million, and also deleted related cooperation videos.
Anta, Butterfly Ping-Pong, Nordland and other enterprises terminated the contract.
The national team refused to respond to the Zhang Jike incident, stating that Zhang Jike had retired.
Although Zhang Jike did not respond in person, from the annual income of tens of millions to the current termination of the contract, even if it is a rumor, Zhang Jike cannot regain the endorsement of various brands.
In fact, as early as 2004, Zhang Jike was expelled from the national team for gambling, and according to incomplete statistics, Zhang Jike lost a total of 500 million yuan.
It can be said that Zhang Jike has become a casino gambler from a table tennis player, and even used marriage and buying a house as an excuse many times to deceive his girlfriends Jing Tian, Yuan Shanshan, Zhang Rui and others to pay off gambling debts.
Some netizens sighed: The national team cultivates such a table tennis player, wasting hundreds of millions of yuan, it is better to build indoor table tennis halls for rural schools, or improve sports building materials.
Zhang Jike is no one to blame for the gambling debt scandal today, no one can save him, and he should also bear the corresponding consequences when he obtains huge benefits.
It is undeniable that Zhang Jike has won honors for the country, but as Liu Guoliang said: our country does not lack champions. An excellent athlete should take on the spirit of sportsmanship, upward, healthy and stronger.
And Zhang Jike's gambling incident not only ruined himself, but also hurt Jing Tian, and as a public star, he also played a bad guide.
Regarding the Zhang Jike incident, the state and all sectors of society have a consistent attitude: investigate to the end! I hope to give an explanation to the public as soon as possible.
In any case, Zhang Jike could not continue his previous glory.
