Editor/Xiaoding
Someone once said:
"Not being able to maintain one's own personality is a 'cowardice', and not being able to respect the individuality of others is a 'domineering'."
Xiaobian has always felt that the word "personality" is slowly changing from a positive word to a pejorative term, not because the word is changing, but because too many people with personality have turned over.
Recently, the most serious overturn is Zhang Jike.
In fact, whether it is a fan or a passerby, there are emotions of love and hate for athletes with Zhang Jike's personality.
He is unruly enough, personality enough, and good enough, but he can't stop Zhang Jike from getting down enough.
Zhang Jike devoted himself to the sport of table tennis for more than 20 years, winning the Grand Slam in 445 days and standing on the top of the world, but he pushed himself off the "altar" in three days.
The reason why the editor did not evaluate Zhang Jike at the peak of the development of the matter was to wait for his response, so that he could more objectively see the truth of the matter.
But the facts never waited for a response, and silence is not an admission of the truth?
Today, the editor will give you an objective evaluation, what kind of person is Zhang Jike? In 2023, it will be his turn to "roll over"?
01. "Falling from the Altar"
The reason why everything about Zhang Jike is over is because what he did is too outrageous and very excessive.
I believe that Zhang Jike and the female star Jing Tian in the entertainment industry know that many people know, after all, at that time, the two of them were a beautiful story in the sports industry and the entertainment industry.
But the relationship did not develop in the direction of the perfect script, and it didn't take long to arrive.
And the two people have broken up for a long time and reappeared in front of the public's field of vision, and it also comes from some gossip without evidence.
At first, someone broke the news that after Zhang Jike broke up with Jing Tian, he gambled for a long time and owed a huge amount of gambling debts.
In order to delay the time of repaying the debt, Zhang Jike took the private photo when he was with Jing Tian as collateral.
After that, the creditor saw that Zhang Jike could not pay the debt, so he took the photo to Jing Tian to ask for money, and Jing Tian immediately chose to take this person to court.
When all netizens see these news, the first scene in their minds is: fake news!
Because this matter is too outrageous, it is even comparable to the bloody plots of some TV series.
What's more, although Zhang Jike does not have the wealth and strength of Jack Ma, he has still made a lot of money over the years with his reputation as a champion, not to mention the self-discipline of athletes is still very strong.
In any case, such a story is hard to believe without evidence.
However, under the deep pocket of the majority of netizens, it was confirmed that Zhang Jike had indeed acted as a gambler, which made the matter more credible.
Later, the chat records of Jing Tian and Deng Sha were exposed.
From the screenshot of the chat, we can learn that Zhang Jike did ask the stars in the circle to borrow money, and the amount was huge.
Just when everyone was shocked, the big V Li Weiao confirmed the previous rumors.
For a while, Zhang Jike appeared on the first place on social media, and the majority of netizens were even more strange about such things, why not refresh the three views?
Even if Zhang Jike's studio issued a statement, it was completely unconvincing.
And the melon-eating masses known as "Sherlock Holmes" confirmed the authenticity of these rumors according to clues, and major brands also announced the termination of their contracts with Zhang Jike.
In just three days, Zhang Jike was pushed down from the "altar".
In fact, the reason why Zhang Jike did such an outrageous thing did not shock the editor, because you can understand it by looking at what he has done before.
02, "Little Madness Becomes Big Madness"
It seems to be unruly, but it is actually a time bomb that is bound to explode.
Zhang Jike is indeed talented in table tennis, and was selected to enter the national team early, which can be described as early entry and early expulsion.
Just a few years after joining the national team, there were media reports that he was expelled from the national team for violating the rules and was returned to the provincial team.
The reason for his expulsion was that Zhang Jike mentioned earlier participated in gambling activities.
Especially after losing money, he couldn't accept the facts, and he ran away from the team in the process of the game, which has to be said to be really arrogant.
In fact, before Zhang Jike's true face was exposed, this matter became a gimmick for him to be publicized.
Because it was since then that Zhang Jike began to break out, all the way from the provincial team back to the national team, and won the Grand Slam with his own efforts.
Under the packaging of the media, he became a genius teenager who fell to the bottom and returned to the top.
Is such packaging and such publicity really a good thing for Zhang Jike?
In fact, in many games, Zhang Jike showed his arrogance, such as tearing his shirt after defeating Wang Hao and kicking a billboard after defeating Ma Long.
All kinds of out-of-control behavior show that he has no one in sight.
But on the other hand, athletes do need such explosiveness and momentum, and they are even sought after by fans as "domineering side leakage".
This also really fuels the arrogance in Zhang Jike's bones, and if people are sought after for a long time, their advantages will be infinitely magnified, and their shortcomings will be infinitely reduced.
Especially at the 2016 Rio Olympics, Zhang Jike was out of the limelight.
Originally, he was scolded by coach Liu Guoliang because of his lack of concentration during the game, but after the victory, he became a terrier.
When he returned home after winning the championship, nearly 3,000 fans were at the airport, just to stand in front of his idol Zhang Jike and shout.
Such fame is not inferior to any A-list star, and perhaps this is also the ranking that a victor should have.
But since then, Zhang Jike has embarked on a downhill road that fell into the abyss.
03. "Downhill"
Since the Rio Olympics, Zhang Jike has slackened a lot in spirit.
This is also a problem that many athletes face, he can stand on the top of the world, but it is difficult to stand on the top of the world all the time, after all, the mood is completely different.
Coupled with the impact of Zhang Jike's back injury, it also greatly limited his explosiveness.
Here we have to mention Malone who is still playing on the field and still on top of the world, he not only has many injuries, but also has never slackened on a mental level.
In turn, Zhang Jike did not have such a big pursuit, and his state in the game was getting worse and worse.
Fortunately, he is still very witty, and while degrading on the court, he is mixed up in the entertainment industry.
Since 2018, we have rarely seen Zhang Jike in the international arena, and we have not seen him in major variety shows.
In fact, as an audience, I fully understand this behavior.
After all, he has paid his entire youth for the glory of the country, and athletes are also a profession that eats youth, and it is not shameful to make money in the entertainment industry.
Under the pursuit of fans, Zhang Jike's commercial value has become more and more great.
All kinds of commercial endorsements are one after another, and Zhang Jike has not restrained his behavior at all, and his annual income is as high as more than 60 million.
With the title of champion, Zhang Jike is respected everywhere he goes.
In those two years, Zhang Jike participated in more than 20 variety shows, and also won the third place in "Crossover Singer".
I thought that Zhang Jike would return to the sports arena, but in fact, his last game had already been played.
After all, in the entertainment industry, Zhang Jike doesn't need too much effort to make money, and he values fame more than honor.
And this road is also the road of no return, which also indicates that Zhang Jike can never turn back.
04. "Collapse"
On the court is Zhang Jike's advantage, and what is shown to everyone is all his advantages, how can he not charm thousands of girls?
And the variety show shows the shortcomings of the body at a glance.
When participating in "The Amazing Race" with his father, the audience did not see the hard work that Zhang Jike should have as an athlete, but instead looked like a hanger.
And some program staff broke the news that he did not know how to respect people during the recording.
You are indeed a world champion, but that doesn't mean you have condescending power in everything, and basic respect and courtesy should still be there.
In terms of endorsements, Zhang Jike also complained about the ugliness of the shoes he endorsed without hesitation.
So since you think it's ugly, why do you have to endorse this product? Since you can't get used to it, why do you have to make this money?
To put it ugly, he is taking other people's money while dismantling other people's platforms, and now no one is used to you, right?
Treating love, Zhang Jike treated it as a child's play.
The intimate photos of himself and his ex-girlfriend turned out to be the capital for "gambling dogs" to pay off debts, which is difficult for individuals to do.
What's even more outrageous is that he once let all netizens listen to his booing voice in the live broadcast, is this really a true temperament?
When falling in love in a variety show, it makes the female guest greasy.
Fortunately, Jin Chen was sober enough to escape this disaster, maybe Zhang Jike himself still thinks that women all over the world should like him, but he doesn't know how annoying he is.
Zhang Jike may have his own set of "flirting cheats", and he has not fallen in love.
And he may also underestimate Jin Chen's eyes on men, after all, there are not a few boyfriends she has talked to, how can such a man avoid her eyes.
In front of the blind date arranged by his mother, Zhang Jike even put on a shelf that looked down on others throughout the process.
Not only has he not taken off his hat, but he has not even looked at others squarely, what can such a man have to like?
We cannot deny the fact that Zhang Jike won glory for the country, and it is indeed the pride of all Chinese people.
But powerful people must know how to respect, but also abide by the law, all greed and arrogance will only harm you.
Now the official media has also paid attention to this matter, I believe that we will be able to see the truth in the near future, and in any case, everything is over for Zhang Jike.
This "collapse" also reminded many people in the entertainment industry and sports industry that they should not be too crazy, otherwise they will suffer their own consequences.
"Conclusion":
For Zhang Jike, character is character, and ball skills are ball skills, which are completely different things.
The glamorous appearance can not hide the quality downfall in the end, even if there are ten gold mines, it will be lost, and everyone in front of the screen must not touch this thing.
For Zhang Jike, table tennis is his root, and without table tennis, he is nothing.
Originally, the sport of table tennis could be well promoted and continued to win glory for the country, but now it is really a pity to look back, and what kind of results have to be borne by themselves.
