3 years of long appointment + Class D maximum salary! CBA inspirational "bad boy": won everyone s applause!

Shanxi Men's Basketball Team officially issued an announcement: The club and Zhang Ning officially completed the contract renewal, with a three-year, Class D contract!

This choice is a win-win situation for both the club and Zhang Ning himself. At the same time, this is the result that Shanxi men's basketball fans want to see the most.

Last season, Shanxi Men's Basketball Team performed well, tying the best record in history. Many media and fans attributed the club's heavy investment and frequent foreign players to the club. They did not know that although the team used this method to enhance their strength, every time they changed foreign players, domestic players were carrying the team forward.

Zhang Ning is one of the heroes.

played 45 games in the regular season, with an average of 31.2 minutes per game, scoring 16 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.9 assists, with a shooting percentage of 47%.

Then in the more intense playoffs, Zhang Ning was able to average 13.3 points and 2.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game, making him an indispensable absolute main force of the team.

was also selected as the All-Star and entered the Chinese men's basketball training team to prepare for the new period of the Men's Basketball Asian Cup.

1. Inspiration, and more deeply interpret loyalty, Zhang Ning has basically become one of the top domestic stars. But have you ever known that Zhang Ning, who had just come to the CBA, was once questioned to the point of doubting his life choices?

Five years ago, Zhang Ning was taken away by Shanxi Men's Basketball Team with the 8th pick in the CBA draft. And doubts and ridicule also began at this time.

Before participating in the draft, Zhang Ning led Peking University to CUBAL's three consecutive dominances! And he is also the team's number one scorer. Whether in the college league or Peking University, Zhang Ning left a series of his own records.

With too many auras of glory, Zhang Ning swore to participate in the CBA draft. Not only the media, I believe he will also believe that he will definitely be selected from the top three. But the result was cruel, and it was not picked until the eighth place. (The No. 1 pick that year was Gu Junxuan) The draft

was far lower than expected and was ridiculed by many fans and media. However, this is just the beginning. After the start of the new season, Zhang Ning's performance was also extremely sluggish, averaging only 7.5 points and 2.5 rebounds per game. Although the coaching staff and the club gave full trust, their unbearable performance has caused this new star with ambition to suffer consecutive setbacks.

Questions, irony everywhere, and even many Shanxi fans asked him to leave. In the subsequent interview, Zhang Ning also felt helpless and self-blame about his experience during that period. But I never thought about leaving, because since the Shanxi Men's Basketball Team trusts itself and chooses it, then I have to do something for this team, at least I should not leave with disgust. Unless the team really doesn't want itself anymore.

In that summer, compared to the rest and relaxation of other players, the difference is that Zhang Ning practiced his own skills and was determined to make a name for himself in the new season.

Everyone has basically known what happened next. Zhang Ning started his second season and made an astonishing performance, with his score soaring from 10.8 points to 18.2 points! Not only has he become the absolute main force of the team, but he has even become one of the few talented players in the forward position among domestic players.

Last season, facing Zhejiang Guangsha, which ranked first in the regular season, the opponent won 12 consecutive league wins and 19 consecutive home games, with strength, momentum and halo taking the advantage. However, Zhang Ning's final defeat not only helped the team counterattack, but also allowed himself to transform in a truly sense.

From college to entering the CBA, from three-man basketball to five-man national team, from being questioned and then to the league's first-tier star, Zhang Ning has experienced it and done it even more.

In addition, he used his performance to even change everyone's stereotypes about draft players, especially college students.

2. Bad boy? Isn’t it an attitude? When talking about Zhang Ning, a topic that can never be avoided is his fierce playing style. This can also be seen from the statistical list of violations and fouls. On this list last season, Zhang Ning once led the way. Lu Wenbo, Sirzati, Han Dejun, Hu Jinqiu and others have all become unfortunate "injured".

And when facing the Shenzhen Men's Basketball Team, Zhang Ning's elbow directly knocked Bai Haotian into a concussion. This incident caused a huge sensation. Not only Zhang Ning himself, but also head coach Pan Jiang and Shanxi Men's Basketball Club have also been criticized by the media.

Dirty and bad boys playing basketball, this series of negative labels has also become an embarrassment that Zhang Ning is difficult to wash away at the moment.

I remember some time ago, Motiejunas, a meritorious foreign aid in the CBA, once complained that the CBA's actions were too rude and would consume a lot of money in every game. If you simply confrontate, you will be helpless, but you will always spend a lot of your energy on entanglement and quarrels with your opponent. Every game is like a fight. After the competition, the body always has various bruises, and the referee often chooses to default on this kind of action.

Some time ago, Yang Hansen was asked by reporters what are the differences between the CBA and the NBA (Summer League). Yang Hansen's answer was very subtle: The NBA is more focused on the game itself, playing more civilized, without those small moves of pulling and pulling.

The fierce confrontation beyond the game itself and the use of various small moves, these CBA league labels seem to be fully reflected in Zhang Ning.

However, this is the law of survival of CBA. If you want to survive in this alliance, you must learn to adapt, rather than complaining constantly with your so-called civilization.

If Zhang Ning did not have these high-intensity confrontations, he might have been forgotten by everyone like most draft players, sitting at the end of the bench in every game, waiting for an opportunity.

Zhang Ning adapted to this league, and his innate offensive talent and the unconditional trust of the club have created himself now.

Of course, we will never advocate actions that are intended to hurt people. The use of such actions will not only be despised by everyone, but the alliance will definitely impose more severe penalties. Now, Zhang Ning has been in the league for five seasons and has a very good understanding of the situation in the league and the situation of each opponent. He should learn to play smarter, rather than the storm like a naughty person.

The next three to five years should be Zhang Ning's most golden period, with experience, ability, and the team's spared no effort to trust and support. How to further improve yourself and help the team achieve higher achievements, it is time to think about it carefully.

In your career, every player will have more or less controversy, even if you are a meritorious player. However, when everyone judges you in a comprehensive way, whether you have higher achievements or have greater negative controversy, this directly determines the success or failure of a player's career.
