- Preface
Will a person who renounces his nationality be respected? In the environment of China's men's basketball team, there is no place for him, and his career road is full of thorns. In order to fulfill his basketball talent, the family moved to Japan, which eventually led him to give up his nationality and become Japanese.
When playing for the Japanese team, as long as he played against the Chinese team, he would pay with his life, and he did not hesitate to use bad foul actions to hinder the Chinese team's attack, and even his performance would become the fuse of the conflict on the court. In the context of such a change of nationality, it doesn't matter if he wins the game, because he will lose the whole future.
- One. The legacy of a sports family
His real name is Zhang Tianjie, such a loud name is full of his family's expectations for him, hoping that Zhang Tianjie will become a big man in the world. After all, the old Zhang family has been a fierce player in the sports world for generations.
Zhang Tianjie's grandfather once served as the head coach of the Liaoning fencing team, and this strength must be evident. Zhang Benjie's parents are also professional athletes, they devoted themselves to basketball and volleyball respectively, and they were also national athletes in their heyday. Therefore, Zhang Benjie's athletic talent is needless to say.
In such a sports-like family, Zhang Benjie has loved sports since he was a child, and his active personality has also made him highly appreciated by many Bole. Due to the genetic inheritance of the family, Zhang Benjie has had an extraordinary height and length since he was a child, and when he was 8 years old, his height had reached an astonishing 1.6 meters, which was already a head taller than his classmates in the class.
As he grew older, his height seemed to be out of control. Because Zhang Benjie has a soft spot for basketball, under the guidance of his father, he quickly opened his mind. Although he has the influence of his parents in the sports world, but in China, where there are many talents, Zhang Benjie seems too ordinary in the professional team, and even some basketball coaches say that such talented young players are grabbed a lot in the eyes of their coaches.
It was the honest words of the seniors that disappointed Zhang Benjie's parents for a while. originally wanted his son to make a name for himself in basketball, but he was hit hard when he was young. In order to allow the younger generations to inherit the glory of the old Zhang family, their family made an attempt that ordinary families dare not go.
- Two. In a rage, he went to Japan
Looking at the medals and certificates on the wall of honor at home, Zhang Benjie has already made lofty ambitions when he was a child. Although he is reluctant to leave his homeland, he will lose his best friend and grandfather who has always loved him in the next few years. But for their own tomorrow. He followed his parents away from home just to make a name for himself in a foreign country.
When Zhang Benjie and his family of three first came to Japan, they encountered the same problems as other immigrants, such as different lives and language barriers. However, if the original intention did not change, they would not defeat their determination, and at first, because Zhang Benjie only chose to go to Japan for further study, he obtained more cutting-edge training and selection.
Who knew that in Japan, Zhang Benjie, who was still a Chinese citizen at that time, was not allowed to enter the basketball echelon, and in the face of advanced training technology and equipment, but also in order to be able to have better development in the future, Zhang Benjie's parents made a staggering decision. If you have a nationality barrier, you can simply change your nationality and become a Japanese citizen. So with Zhang Benjie's talent and his extraordinary height, it is natural to be selected for the basketball youth echelon.
The news that Zhang Benjie became Japanese soon spread back to the hometown of the Liaoning team, and for a while, relatives and friends in his hometown suddenly exploded. Most of them were opposed, but the raw rice had already been cooked, and everyone could only condemn it verbally. Similarly, Zhang Benjie, who is far away in Japan, is also under a lot of pressure, if he is famous, if he is mediocre, it will not be a big joke, and he is also burdened with a disgraceful charge.
Under the doubts of various public opinions, Zhang Benjie's parents did not hesitate to use a lot of money to send their son to the best basketball cradle in Japan, and Aoyama Basketball Academy will be the starting point of Zhang Benjie's struggle. After all, in Japan, this school has produced a lot of international players.
- Three. Basketball life in Japan
Time flies, Zhang Benjie, whose height soared to 1.98 meters, was finally included in the middle school basketball coach, on weekdays, Zhang Benjie took out a training attitude that his teammates could not match, usually as long as the cultural class ended, he sweated like rain in the basketball hall, day after day regularity, which really moved the already rigorous Japanese coach. In the end, Zhang Benjie joined this team that many basketball people dream of through his own efforts. In a series of campus competitions, Zhang Benjie stood out and became a future star in the eyes of coaches.
However, although Zhang Benjie has joined the Japanese nationality, he invisibly occupies a place among local Japanese players in the basketball team. On the other hand, his brilliance has also overshadowed the limelight of other Japanese players, so there are often some discordant voices within him. Even after the end of the game, some aggressive Japanese players make moves that affect the unity of the team. Zhang Benjie doesn't care about what the Japanese do at all, he still sticks to his dream, overcomes obstacles on his way forward, and also uses his strength to break doubts. Even if he is violated by an opponent on the court, he will only carry the pain and continue to fight.
With the accumulation of game experience, Zhang Benjie showed his edge, and was elected as the captain of the court by the coach first, Zhang Benjie, who changed his identity, cherished this opportunity to grow even more, activated the attributes of the leader in the game, and led his team to achieve three consecutive championships in the school's basketball game.
Just as his high school life was coming to an end, Zhang Benjie's ability received a higher level of attention. The Japanese Basketball Association's degree of talent cherishment is even more exciting, throwing the olive branch of the national youth team to Zhang Benjie in one fell swoop, and all the efforts can finally bloom in Zhang Benjie. What awaits him will be his international debut at the World Series.
- Four. The dream is to beat the Chinese team
After graduating from high school and being called up by the national team, it may mean that Zhang Benjie will give up his college career and devote himself to adult training more intensively, and his parents are still supportive of him in this regard. Zhang Benjie, who trains in the team, also suffered ridicule during his school years, after all, he is not a native Japanese, who is willing to vacate his place to a foreigner, especially their close Chinese.
Zhang Benjie endured cynicism again, he only focused on hard training, almost shielded the gossip of the outside world, and was publicly questioned by the media in time, and there were only two words in his heart, that is, persistence. His biggest dream is even more surprising, Zhang Benjie in an interview, he actually said without taboo that he would lead the Japanese team to defeat the Chinese team. Although he has Chinese red in his bones, at this moment, his heart still contains dissatisfaction with the motherland, because he was defeated for various reasons when he was young, he must bring victory to let the Chinese know that he has already made a name for himself in Japan on this day. However, after this interview, Zhang Benjie's bold words have changed the perception of him by the Japanese, so as to reverse his previous attitude and slowly regard this basketball genius as his own.
The 2021 Basketball World Preliminary Tournament is Zhang Benjie's best opportunity, and it is also the scene that we Chinese last want to see. Zhang Benjie, who has been playing with the Japanese national team for many years, has no doubt in the team, and there is no doubt about the existence of a proper core. He looked forward to the Chinese team meeting him in the group stage, but he was worried about the day when it really came. After all, there was a familiar voice there, and there was a humanity that he could understand. Even if it is said that he missed the opportunity to develop in China when he was young, but what a strong psychological strength is required for the real competition. Because he no longer belongs to China at the moment, he also knows what the Chinese people hate the most.
- Five. The Chinese and Japanese basketball were defeated
Chinese basketball in 2021 is in full swing, and the Japanese are not on the same level as us at all. The Chinese men's basketball team has beaten the Japanese team in two games. And it was in this game that Zhang Benjie played for the Japanese team. His large-scale foul caused a lot of unnecessary trouble, due to the excellent performance of the Chinese men's basketball team, successfully dismantled Zhang Benjie's various outputs, he only scored 4 points in his limited 28 minutes of playing time, and the ugly on-court data made Japanese fans very angry, and the local media also bluntly said after the game that Zhang Benjie's national team journey will also come to an end, and he will not become a member of the next national team.
Looking back at the game, Zhang Benjie also treated the players of the Chinese men's basketball team with a black hand, when Zhao Rui controlled the ball, Zhang Benjie simply played hot-blooded street basketball, directly ignored the existence of the referee, and pushed Zhao Rui to the ground with a ruthless force, because the Chinese team had a big lead at that time, Zhao Rui and the other players did not care. And then Zhang Benjie's foul on Zhou Qi was definitely a trick, if he succeeded, I am afraid that Zhou Qi would leave the field with serious injuries.
Even if Zhang Benjie tried all kinds of means to win the game, he didn't succeed in the end. After all, China's overall strength is much higher than that of the Japanese team. After the game, Zhang Benjie said in an interview that his foul was deliberately used to provoke Chinese players, which shows that his mind has been distorted at this time, and the resentment in his heart has never been released. Presumably, this mentality in the current Chinese men's basketball team will never include him in the national team. In the same way, his mentality has gradually affected his form, and he will be reduced to a fringe player little by little. However, fortunately, his future life settled in Japan, and he was far away from the country where he was born.
In the end, do you think Zhang Benjie's choice is wrong? If our children are gifted, will they give up their nationality for the sake of their future? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area to discuss.
