Beijing time on the morning of December 5, Chinese basketball ushered in a big bad news, Beijing Shougang men's basketball celebrity Jiao Jian first announced on personal social media, the former Shougang men's basketball team captain Ji Zhe, due to ineffective treatment of illness, died on the morning of the 5th, and then Beijing Shougang and many sports officials confirmed the news, for a time the entire domestic basketball circle was shocked by this matter, after all, Ji Zhe is only 33 years old, is in the best years of life, and there was no news of what serious injuries Ji Zhe suffered before. Therefore, many people can't believe such bad news for a while.
As early as the 2017-18 season, Ji Zhe was still the captain of the Shougang men's basketball team, following the Beijing team for more than thirty games throughout the season, but then due to a serious knee injury, Ji Zhe had to leave the field and handed over his captainship to Zhai Xiaochuan, but in fact, at this time, Ji Zhe had been diagnosed with lung cancer, and it was found that it was already advanced and spread, but the Shougang men's basketball team decided to hide this matter, because they believed that Ji Zhe would be able to return to the field. Last summer, Ji Zhe announced that he would go to the United States for treatment, when the outside world thought that Ji Zhe was going to treat his knee injury, but did not know that Ji Zhe was going to the United States to treat cancer.
In the United States, Ji Zhe received the most advanced cancer drug treatment, at first the cancer cells were effectively controlled, but at the beginning of this year, Ji Zhe's condition suddenly deteriorated, cancer cells have metastasized to the brain, and even in the most serious time, Ji Zhe also had complications such as cerebral thrombosis and paralysis, and finally the United States was helpless to do anything about it, and Ji Zhe could only return to China. In the early morning of December 4, Ji Zhe's health deteriorated again, and in the last moments of his life, Ji Zhe chose to stay with his family, and when he died, Ji Zhe held the hand of his four-year-old son Ji Zhe tightly in his hands.
At the first time when the news of Ji Zhe's death was announced, the former Shougang men's basketball foreign aid Marbury sent a message to mourn the memory of his former teammate, and also wished Ji Zhe that the wind and waves could be calm "over there", and also hoped that Ji Zhe's family would not feel too uncomfortable because of this.
In addition to Marbury, another NBA star, McGrady, also remembered Ji Zhe on Weibo, and Maddy said: "I feel deep condolences to Ji Zhe's family, and I wish the Lord to be with him at this moment, he is a very good opponent and player." ”
As we all know, when Maddy played for the Qingdao Double Star Team before, he once clashed with Ji Zhe on the field, when Ji Zhe, who faced Maddy's three-pointer, shook his finger at Maddy, and the enraged Maddy also directly "saluted" Ji Zhe with an elbow. The incident also caused a violent reaction on the Internet, and even after Maddy returned to the United States, he was angry about the matter, saying that he could not stand a Chinese player shaking his finger in his face. However, after Ji Zhe's death, Maddy still put down the gango and took the initiative to send greetings to Ji Zhe and his family, maybe this is the charm of competitive sports, they are opponents on the field, but everyone is friends when they leave the field.
However, in the whole treatment process of Ji Zhe, the most touching thing is the Beijing Shougang Club, during Ji Zhe's illness, the Shougang Club not only bore all the medical expenses of Ji Zhe, and even the chairman Qin Xiaowen also chose to immediately sign a contract with Ji Zhe for three years, in this way to motivate Ji Zhe, but also let Ji Zhe's family accompany him to treat the disease, and this news is only now announced
