In this fierce season, Zhou Qi's performance once became the focus. In the game on January 26, Zhou Qi won a fierce game for the Guangdong team with an outstanding performance of 24 points, 15 rebounds and 5 blocks. However, this victory was erased by the ridicule of the fans of the Guangsha team, which made Zhou Qi's mentality completely unbalanced.
In the game, Guangdong played against Guangsha, Guangdong had previously defeated their opponents by 11 points, but this time they lost by a full 14 points. Zhou Qi's 42-minute struggle not only did not get the respect he deserved, but was ridiculed and insulted by the opposing fans. Such treatment is undoubtedly a great injustice to the player, and his change of attitude is worth pondering.
This game was Zhou Qi's first appearance of more than 40 minutes this season, and he played 21 minutes in the second half, but Du Feng did not make a substitution. After the game, Zhou Qi's fatigue was not only reflected in the loss, but also in being ridiculed and insulted by the fans shouting slogans. What kind of game is it that makes a player so disrespectful by the opposing fans even if he performs at his best?
Everything Zhou Qi can do has been done. He put up amazing numbers in the game, but his teammates were disappointing. Xu Jie scored only 2 points in 27 minutes, 1-of-5, and Hu Mingxuan scored 14 points on 13 shots. Such a performance made Zhou Qi fight alone on the field, and his efforts seemed to come to naught.
The players of the opponent's Guangsha team performed well, but Zhou Qi's solo fight was also distressing. As the No. 1 centre-forward, his lack of handy team-mate passes made his on-court efforts almost desperate. In this case, Zhou Qi's performance is not only a dedication to the team, but also a hard work for himself.
Zhou Qi's efforts failed to earn the respect they deserved. With two minutes left in the fourth quarter, when he stepped to the free-throw line, the crowd taunted him with the slogan "Poland". The origins of the slogan can be traced back to the men's basketball World Cup in '19, when some people began to jokingly refer to him as a Pole after a crucial mistake that led to the team's loss. Now, this joking slogan seems to have evolved into an attack weapon against Zhou Qi, and whether this attack method is excessive has become the focus of controversy.
What's even more infuriating is that after so much time has passed since this game, fans are still attacking Zhou Qi in this way. This is not only disrespectful to a player, but also a blasphemy against sportsmanship. Whether it is the performance of the opposing players or the behavior of the fans, it seems that they have left the respect and sanity that should be due on the playing field.
Zhou Qi showed extraordinary strength in this game, but in the end, he lost the sweetness of victory because of the ridicule of the outside world. In this competitive world where wins and loses coexist, players have worked hard and sweated, but often do not get the respect they deserve. Perhaps we should reflect on what sports games are for, for a good game, or for needless off-field attacks on players.
This game is not only a contest between the Guangdong team and the Guangsha team, but also a test of sportsmanship. Should the shouts and taunts of the fans be a weapon against the losing side or an expression of emotion on the stadium? We may have different views on this issue, but for Zhou Qi, the ending of this game is undoubtedly a traumatic wound.
In competitive sports, every player is working hard and fighting for their dreams. However, when these efforts are overwhelmed by the skepticism and attacks from the outside world, we should perhaps stop and think about what kind of stage sports should be. Is it a stage full of respect and understanding, or a gladiatorial arena full of ridicule and attacks? The battle is a contest of mental and physical strength, and Zhou's experience in this match provokes multi-layered thinking about sportsmanship and fan behavior. From a player's point of view, Zhou Qi put in a lot of effort during the game, but he felt isolated due to the lack of support from his teammates. This solo situation also reflects the importance of teamwork in the game of basketball.
Although Zhou Qi's performance in the game was excellent, the unsatisfactory performance of his teammates limited the team's overall combat strength. This is not only a test for Zhou Qi personally, but also a challenge to the tacit understanding of the entire team. Basketball is a team sport, and the bravery of one person cannot replace the cooperation of the whole team. This also leads to thinking about team building and development, and a strong team should be a group that supports each other and cooperates tacitly.
The fans' ridicule of Zhou Qi was too mean. The shouts, cheers and cheers on the sports field should be a positive response to the positive performance of the athletes. However, using nationality and historical events as a tool of ridicule not only disrespects the opponent, but also has the potential to trigger negative emotions. The enthusiastic support of the fans is what drives the team forward, but when that support turns into attacks on individual players, the positive energy on the pitch becomes distorted. This phenomenon makes us need to re-examine the bottom line of fan behavior, and call for enthusiasm in stadiums to be positive, not overly negative.
It is a quality for players to remain calm and rational in the face of criticism and ridicule from the outside world. Scolding the referee and losing control during the game not only does not help the team, but also may make the players themselves pay an unnecessary price. In Zhou's case, his out-of-control behavior may have been an emotional outburst of the team's defeat and fan taunts. In this situation, players may need better psychological quality and mental training to better face external pressure and criticism.
In competitive sports, every player should be treated fairly and should not be the target of attacks because of historical events or individual mistakes. The enthusiasm of the fans is a double-edged sword on the sports field, and should be used to inspire and support, not to be the moral judge of the opponent. In this process, it is also particularly important for the referee to enforce the law impartially to ensure the fairness and normal conduct of the game.
Players, teams, fans, each character plays an integral role in this sports arena. However, it is in such conflicts and confrontations that sports have their unique charm. Perhaps, it is in the midst of such controversies that we can better examine the true meaning of sportsmanship and what kind of tacit understanding and respect should be maintained between fans and players.
This match is not just a battle on the pitch, but a deep reflection on the ethics and spirit of sportsmanship. The players' efforts and dedication should be respected as they deserve, and the support of the fans should be a positive force. Through this game, we may be able to better understand the true value behind sports, and the moral bottom line we should maintain in the pursuit of victory.
