Wang Xilin is 20 years old, this should be a youthful and passionate age, but he was snubbed by the basketball team because of his weight of 250 pounds, which has to be said to be an embarrassing topic. Once, his name attracted much attention because of the aura of his father Wang Zhizhi, but now, because of his own problems, he chose to give up the CBA draft, which is a pity for him with such talent!
Back then, Wang Zhizhi's free-flowing posture on the basketball court was simply the idol of countless basketball teenagers. He not only left a brilliant footprint in the Chinese men's basketball team, but also went to the NBA to add glory to Chinese basketball. And Wang Xilin, as the son of Wang Zhizhi, has shown extraordinary basketball talent since he was a child. In high school, he scored 24 points, 11 rebounds and 2 blocks in U15 basketball, which was enough to make any basketball coach shine.
However, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck. In the blink of an eye, Wang Xilin's weight rose to 250 pounds. On a basketball court where speed and endurance are equally important, such a weight is undoubtedly a huge burden. Think about it, the other friends are running like the wind on the court, but he is overweight and his movements have become sluggish, what a fatal blow to his playing career!
The most distressing thing is that in the CUBA League of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, he was forced to withdraw due to poor performance. Imagine how regrettable and unwilling it is that a teenager who used to be able to score freely on the court has now lost even a basic opportunity to play because of his weight!
Now, Wang Xilin has completely given up the opportunity to participate in the CBA draft. It would have been a good opportunity for him to rely on his father's fame to get at least a tryout, but the reality was so brutal that his weight and attitude issues made it all go up in tow. Thinking about it, Wang Zhizhi saw his son's current situation, and he must have mixed feelings in his heart.
This incident is not only a personal tragedy for Wang Xilin, but also a warning to our sports training system. How should we pay better attention to the physical and mental state of young athletes, and how to balance competitive sports and healthy development? These are all questions that we have to think about.
At the same time, it is an important reminder to all young people who are interested in basketball and other sports: talent and opportunity are important, but self-discipline and perseverance are also the keys to success. Wang Xilin's story tells us that no success is easy to achieve, and no failure is unforeseeable. Every step of the way counts, and every effort can be a turning point.
Let us wish Wang Xilin to be aware of himself in the future and find his own path, and also hope that all young people can learn from it, cherish every opportunity to play, and live up to their time. After all, life is like a game on the basketball court, no matter how much applause you have received, you have to rely on yourself to step out of the road in the future.
