Zhang Jike, who had disappeared for 9 months due to the gambling turmoil, reappeared in the rivers and lakes! As soon as this news came out, it immediately rushed to the top of the hot search.
It's just that this time Zhang Jike has long lost the arrogance of the Olympic champion of the year, and the mental state of the whole person is not as good as before, when he was an Olympic champion in the past, he may not be able to look down on the appearance fee of millions, and now in order to feed and wear, 4,000 yuan a month of "coarse grain" can also be swallowed.
From an Olympic champion to a gambling cancer, it is also embarrassing.
1. Zhang Jike served as the club's consultant.
As an Olympic champion, if it weren't for the gambling scandal, Zhang Jike would still be the "first brother" in the sports table tennis world, but after the gambling scandal was exposed, his personality completely collapsed.
From 2019 to 2020, he frequently went in and out of the casino, lost tens of millions of yuan under a gambling spree, owed a lot of foreign debts, and borrowed from many celebrities and friends in order to repay the debt.
In order to fill the huge hole owed, he even shamelessly borrowed 190 million yuan from his ex-girlfriend, and even shamelessly used his ex-girlfriend's private video as collateral.
After the incident was exposed, he denounced the unscrupulous media for maliciously spreading rumors in front of the public, denied all the accusations on the Internet, and even took up legal weapons to punish these rumor-mongers.
However, Zhang Jike forgot one thing, the Internet has a memory.
The name of "bad gambler" is not new to netizens, he was exposed to gambling when he was 16 years old and a child.
In 2004, 16-year-old Zhang Jike borrowed the bank card of a table tennis celebrity to participate in a gambling "game", and owed gambling debts after losing.
In the years after that, in the national team, he was repeatedly exposed by the media to sneak into the casino to gamble during the competition, and even was expelled from the national team for gambling.
After this year's gambling turmoil, Zhang Jike appeared in front of the public again.
This time, he continued to return to his old business, but he was no longer a member of the glorious national team, but became an ordinary table tennis technical consultant of a club in Ningbo.
According to netizens, Zhang Jike was seen in a club in Ningbo.
Zhang Jike works with the members of the club, teaching and guiding the children in the stadium, and can be said to be the "star coach" of the club.
It can be seen from the video exposed on the Internet that Zhang Jike's appearance is different from before, his skin looks more sallow, his spirit is more sluggish, and there are thick dark circles under his eyes, without the temperament of the former Olympic champion.
It is conceivable that the gambling turmoil in April caused him a lot of blows, but he can still appear in front of the public so calmly after disappearing for 9 months, which makes people have to admire his strong psychological quality.
2. Life has to go on, 4,000 yuan is money.
The club where Zhang Jike works now seems to be extremely fond of him, and some media revealed that the club released a special enrollment advertisement through its official account on January 6, 2024.
In the advertisement, Zhang Jike was deliberately given a big close-up, and he introduced it in a high-profile introduction in the enrollment brochure:
Not only that, but the club also posted several videos containing Zhang Jike on a certain sound to promote the matter, seemingly trying to attract a wave of students with the title of former Olympic champion.
What's even more interesting is that this club is mainly aimed at children, and the training crowd includes elementary, middle and high school students.
In other words, Zhang Jike's job is to put it bluntly, he is a salesman who pulls business, teaching children to play table tennis, and fooling children's parents to pay training fees for their children.
I just don't know how much commission Zhang Jike can get for a training fee of 4,000 yuan?
You must know that before the gambling turmoil, Zhang Jike, as a leader in the industry, paid about 10 million yuan a year for endorsements, and the endorsements were all well-known domestic brands, and Zhang Jike's major commercial endorsement income was the highest, and he could earn 60 million a year.
Now after making a comeback, relying on the 4,000 yuan and 12,500 yuan of "coarse grain" to live, I am afraid that I can't get the blood in my heart.
3. For these bad public figures, should they be given a chance to be a new person?
In the face of Zhang Jike's comeback, netizens have different opinions.
Some netizens believe that Zhang Jike, as a public figure with bad deeds, is addicted to gambling and misconduct, which cannot be forgiven.
Some netizens believe that once they get addicted to drugs, it will be difficult to quit, so Zhang Jike will go to gambling again and again, and now he is returning to his old business because he has no money.
And netizens think that this time he served as a table tennis consultant to teach children to play table tennis, and if he went to teach children with bad deeds, would he bring bad children?
Of course, some netizens said that although Zhang Jike's character is not good, he can't help but say that his ball skills are still very good, and he uses technology to teach children to make up for it.
So should we give him a chance to be a new man?
Whatever the reason for his comeback, he did not give up on himself after the scandal, but returned to sports in another way, continuing to devote himself to the promotion of table tennis and training young people, and passing on his skills to the next generation, which is a good starting point.
is like what a netizen said: I don't steal, I don't rob, I don't go abroad to develop, and I rely on my own ability to eat, which is already good.
Finally, I also hope that Zhang Jike can cherish the feathers this time, be a new person, and stay away from gambling. #Tell the truth##Zhang Jike##头条首发挑战赛#
