The Chinese men's basketball team is at its lowest point, achieving the worst record of 1 win and 4 losses in the 2023 Basketball World Cup, and missing the Olympic Games for two consecutive years. Many domestic media people and even the head coach openly questioned Jordjevic, believing that he was too stubborn and did not know how to be flexible in the game, which led to the rout of the men's basketball team. Losing to the Philippine team should not be, Qiao Shuai should also be responsible, but listening to the revelations of former men's basketball national player Dong Hanlin, you know that Chinese basketball has been going downhill, in fact, there are its own reasons, don't blame the basketball association, don't blame the head coach.
Dong Hanlin debuted at the peak, entered the CBA in 2008, and then helped Guangdong win the championship three times in 5 seasons, and also won the CBA Star Sharp MVP, entered the national team in 2010, announced his retirement in 2023, and averaged 8.5 points and 5.7 rebounds per game at his peak. But in recent years, Dong Hanlin's overall performance has been average, he chose to retire at the age of 32, and many stars are at their peak at the age of 32.
Dong Hanlin updated social media and posted a video telling the story of him drinking with men's basketball captain Zhou Peng and Su Wei, three people can each drink 15 bottles to see who can drink the most, and after drinking, they spit in the hotel, in the video, Dong Hanlin and others talked about this matter, and laughed, which felt very interesting.
Some fans also questioned Dong Hanlin, if self-discipline, the peak period will not be so short, like Messi, Ronaldo, James and other world great stars are very self-disciplined, Da Luo and Xiao Luo are not. Later, Dong Hanlin also responded strongly to the fan, "I am very undisciplined, I can still play."
What is even more shocking is that Dong Hanlin also broke some things about the great star of the men's basketball team Yao Ming and the UAE. Some netizens said, "Dong Hanlin's talent back then was not inferior to Yi Jianlian, and he can say that his debut is the peak, but why is it getting worse and worse, and where is the difference with Yi Jianlian?" It's just that Yi Jianlian, Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi basically don't drink." And Dong Hanlin's response, it is estimated that Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian will be very angry when they see it, he said that they have drunk with Yao Ming and the United States, and everyone has not drunk less.
It seems that Dong Hanlin is not making things up, and there is no need for that, it should be the truth. As we all know, drinking alcohol has a very large impact on athletes, let alone drinking too much, ordinary people occasionally drink is nothing, but if athletes drink regularly, it will hurt their careers. For example, a player who could have become a world-class star, but because of lack of self-discipline, he will only be short-lived, or he will not be able to reach his limit.
Former CBA player Guo Xiaopeng also confirmed the truth of Dong Hanlin's words in the previous live broadcast, and indeed some players, including Dong Hanlin, love to drink, and drink until five o'clock in the morning, and then play at eight or ten o'clock in the morning, because the ability is too strong, and can still win the opponent by 30 points.
Dong Hanlin's revelation also made men's basketball captain Zhou Peng questioned, Zhou Peng is considered a conscientious player, in this World Cup, Zhou Peng averaged 6.3 points per game, three-point shooting rate of more than 50%, but suffered injuries, and did not qualify for the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games squad. Dong Hanlin broke a lot of news about the Guangdong men's basketball team and some well-known athletes this time, but this is only in life, and it should not make too big waves.
