In the face of such a blow, Kong Linghui was puzzled and angry, and he worked hard to return to the team of head coach Cai Zhenhua.
He didn't know that Cai Zhenhua had long taken a fancy to his talent and planned to focus on cultivating him, and such a thing would happen, in Cai Zhenhua's expectations.
He became famous at a young age, and he couldn't help but feel a little arrogant in his heart, Cai Zhenhua deliberately polished Kong Linghui like this to enhance his heart and pave the way for future competitions.

What did Kong Linghui do to make him quit the national team directly, or even disappear from the sports world?
Gambling debts
In 2017, Kong Linghui's gambling debt of 2 million in Singapore was exposed, and such negative news would appear on the coach of the national team, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
As soon as the matter was exposed, some netizens did not believe such a fact, thinking that this was inconsistent with Kong Linghui's usual style.
What's more, Kong Linghui, as a sports star, is relatively financially abundant, because it is unreasonable that he cannot repay his gambling debts.

Such negative news has seriously affected the image of national table tennis and Kong Linghui's image.
Soon, Kong Linghui resigned from the national team, and there was no new content on his Weibo.
Kong Linghui's sudden resignation is possible in many ways, the biggest possibility is that he was sloppy in his handling of gambling debts, and as a coach of the national team, he did not have the consciousness to maintain the image of the national team.
Kong Linghui's unclear understanding of himself led him to make this mistake in a hurry, which also led to the end of his table tennis career.

Kong Linghui is an outstanding national athlete, he retired at the age of 26 and won more than 50 gold medals.
This is the best of any athlete.
But he would be exposed to the news that he owed gambling debts.
