Men's basketball legend was forced to make a comeback 9 years ago! I went to the hospital with heart discomfort after being beaten. I've retired many times, but I can't give up.
Yi Jianlian's retirement ceremony will be held in mid-September, and the figure representing the Chinese men's basketball team will officially end his basketball career. But he is also a men's basketball legend and has also retired, but Wang Zhizhi is far from being treated like Yi Jianlian. Due to the status of the Bayi team, Dazhi was forced to make comebacks several times.
In 2012, Wang Zhizhi said he initially did not want to play for the national team after the London Olympics. No one dared to say that he was going to quit the national team, and it still is. And Dazhi's statement has actually made it clear that he wants to fade out of the national team. After all, whether from Wang Zhizhi's age or the turnover of the national team, the 35-year-old is no longer suitable for the national team.
But after the 2013 Asian Championships, after Yannakis coached, the decision on the 12-man roster of the Chinese men's basketball team was not entirely decided by the Greek coach, and even many places were not decided by him. Finally, after the Chinese men's basketball team submitted the 12-man squad for the Asian Championship, the person in charge of the Chinese Basketball Association changed the list again. Little Li Muhao was taken down, and Wang Zhizhi was forced to participate.
"Last year I said at the beginning that I didn't want to play [for the national team] after the Olympics, and this year the national team needed it, and I came here again, but I didn't expect this to be the result. Sports are so cruel... You are behind, or if your strength is not done well, you will definitely be taken care of by others..." Wang Zhizhi said helplessly after the Chinese men's basketball team finished fifth in the 2013 Asian Championship. , lost to the Chinese Taiwan team.
After returning to the league, Wang Zhizhi also wanted to retire from the Bayi team, but he was unable to make the trip. At the time, this made Wang Zhizhi consider retiring. He hopes to spend more time with his family in the future. But he still couldn't back down.
In the 2013-14 season, the then head coach of Bayi Team, Adijiang, made it clear during the season that Wang Zhizhi would officially retire at the end of the season.
At the same time, Addijiang also said: "We will plan a ceremony to make the (Bayi Gong) team and club the first outstanding athlete in the Chinese NBA." Of course, it has not yet taken shape, and we are in negotiation. Now everyone's energy is in the league. ”
In the last game of the season, Wang Zhizhi said goodbye to the fans and media watching the game. Reports of his retirement were rife at the time.
As a result, Wang Zhizhi was forced to make a comeback after the start of the 2014-15 season. At the beginning of the season, the Bayi team suffered 7 consecutive defeats, and it was difficult to win after starting to change blood. In the end, Wang Zhizhi was forced to return in the eighth away game against Sichuan. Since he did not train again after announcing his retirement, Wang Zhizhi's body did not actually allow him to participate directly in official competitions at that time. But for the Bayi team, he could only keep playing, scoring 12 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists in 15 minutes, leading the Bayi team to their first win of the season and ending a seven-game losing streak.
After the game, Wang Zhizhi went to the hospital to take oxygen to relieve fatigue due to heart discomfort. In early 2014, Wang Zhizhi said that his heart was not very comfortable.
In the final game of the 2014-15 regular season, Wang Zhizhi appeared again, scoring 12 points and 5 rebounds in 25 minutes, truly ending his career and another season before announcing his retirement.
Wang Zhizhi's retirement ceremony was never held. In 2016, on the eve of the Chinese men's basketball team competing in the Rio Olympics, the national team held a retirement ceremony for Wang Zhizhi, but this retirement ceremony was only the retirement ceremony of the national team of Dazhi, so only the Dazhi national team jersey appeared. Wang Zhizhi's personal retirement ceremony, especially the retirement ceremony of the Bayi team, was never held, and remained in the "negotiations" mentioned by Addijiang before.
Wang may not necessarily be eager to retire, especially after many experiences that other players have not. But he was forced to make a comeback after retiring, and he couldn't decide for himself whether to retire or not. This is undoubtedly a shame for the Chinese men's basketball legend, or indeed any player.
