On May 6, Beijing time, the Guangdong men's basketball team sat at home and ushered in the challenge of the Liaoning men's basketball team, the results of the game are known to everyone, Guangdong defeated Liaoning 98-82 by 16 points. Zhang Zhenlin, the star player of the Liaoning team, seemed to have quietly pressed the pause button by the "off-market moves" off the field in this key battle.
A much-anticipated playoff matchup has become no longer pure due to some special off-court factors. Zhang Zhenlin of the Liaoning team, like a god descending from heaven in G1, slashed 34 points, shining all over the court, making fans addicted.
However, the good times did not last long, and in the next game, his hand suddenly cooled down as if he had been enchanted. Especially in today's away game, Zhang Zhenlin's data has declined significantly, and the shooting percentage is worryingly low - only 3 of 15 shots have been hit, and he is even more cold outside the three-point line, only 1 of 9 shots. Such a performance is in stark contrast to his bravery in G1, which can't help but make people stunned.
What's even more unexpected is that the "off-market moves" of Guangdong fans seem to have played a big role. It is said that outside the hotel where the Liaoning team stayed, some fans played the warm but slightly "untimely" song "Only Mother is Good in the World", trying to interfere with Zhang Zhenlin's psychological state in this way. What's more, at the game site, whenever Zhang Zhenlin stood on the free throw line, this familiar melody would sound in the audience, trying to distract him. These seemingly innocuous small actions have invisibly put extra pressure on the young star and affected his performance.

"It's really convinced, and when it comes to a tough battle, it's like this in domestic competitions, not to mention international competitions...... Don't blame other team fans for scolding you", some fans commented on the Internet, with both disappointment and worry about Zhang Zhenlin's ups and downs. Others are more rational, believing that "you still have to keep a low profile to be a person", reminding Zhang Zhenlin and all the players that whether they are performing well or sluggishly, maintaining a normal heart is the long-term way.
Zhang Zhenlin's sluggish performance, although regrettable, is also an indispensable part of his growth. Just as every fall on the basketball court is to get up better, I believe that Zhang Zhenlin can learn a valuable lesson from this experience, adjust his mentality, find his state, return with a stronger attitude in the future, and respond to all doubts and challenges with practical actions. After all, the real strong can always shine in the face of adversity, don't you think?
