Goodbye, Wang Zhelin! After the 21-point defeat of the Chinese men's basketball team, 2 players may be expelled from the national team, and Qiao Shuai showed resoluteness.
Before this game, everyone was talking about how many points the Chinese men's basketball team could win against the Philippines, but the result shocked everyone. The Chinese men's basketball team lost by 21 points, which is really jaw-dropping. This fiasco not only made the Chinese men's basketball team miss the Olympics, but also marked the second time that the Chinese men's basketball team missed the Olympics since Yao Ming took over Chinese basketball, and such a result is indeed difficult for fans to accept.
First, let's take a look at Wang Zhelin's situation. Zhou Qi was injured in the match between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Philippines, which became a key turning point in the game. However, it is regrettable that Chorkovic did not give Wang Zhelin a chance, but continued to trust Hu Jinqiu.
This decision made many fans and commentator Su Qun feel sorry for Wang Zhelin. They believe that Qiao Shuai should give Wang Zhelin a chance, instead of beating him to death with a stick, and perhaps give him a chance to save his reputation. Su Qun's defense of Wang Zhelin seems to have some reason.
However, it should be emphasized that the 21-point defeat of the Chinese men's basketball team in this game is not just the responsibility of one or two players, but the problems of the Chinese professional basketball league for many years and the professionalism of the players. Wang Zhelin was dropped not just because he performed poorly for a while, but because he did not perform well in the three games of the World Cup group stage. His low scoring percentage at the basket and poor defensive performance make it difficult for any head coach to trust him.
