Asia s No. 1 point guard declares the season s reimbursement! Xu Zhonghao "destroys tirelessly", evil offenders are never tough

⚡️Event Review: A collision, a farewell to

On June 12, Alaki, the core of the Lebanese men's basketball team and known as the "No. 1 point guard in Asia", announced on social media: "It's heartbreaking. I'm reimbursed for the season due to injury and will undergo surgery soon. But I will return with a stronger and more eager attitude!" The serious injury originated from the AFC Champions League knockout match on June 11 - Saudi Arabia's Arriyadh against Zhejiang Guangsha. Guangsha center Xu Zhonghao collided with Alaki in a defense, causing the latter to leave the court with a serious shoulder injury.

Araki's game data was frozen in 11 minutes and 30 seconds: 4 minutes, 1 rebound and 5 assists, while Alriyadh finally advanced to the semi-finals with a 102-36 victory. The winner has been decided, but the price is heavy. You should know that in the professional men's basketball team, when the player lowers the center of gravity and accelerates the speed of the ball, it can reach 15-30 kilometers per hour. At this time, moving up horizontally to take advantage of the weight and body shape difference is tantamount to a small car accident. Imagine that when you sprint with all your strength and crash into a huge rock, not to mention that the "evil guy" uses his arm and shoulder to hit the above part of the shoulder of the ball holder. At a mild case, the muscle strain will be caused, and at a severe case, the concussion will be caused!

Looking at Xu Zhonghao's entire career, he has been infamous and has frequently been hurtful. As the second largest professional men's basketball league in the world, it is not necessary to have hurtful actions that violate sports spirit. He mistakenly regards "dirty as tough" and deserves deep reflection from our athletes. In the competitive sports arena, we should continue to hone our own skills to win games and win more honors. The opponents respect it and fans love it!

Behind Alaki's injury: athletes' fragility and tenacity

1. Double blow: individual and national regrets

The club journey came to an abrupt end: Alaki's season ended early, and although Alriyadh advanced to the semi-finals of the AFC Champions League, he lost his core engine.

Asian Cup is cast in shadow: The Saudi Asian Cup is about to start on August 5. As the last runner-up (losing Australia with 2 points in the final), if this soul figure is missing, the prospects for the championship will be greatly dimmed.

2. Concreteness of sports spirit: Alaki's declaration

"This is a difficult time, but I will not give up!" Alaki's social media declaration, in just two short sentences, condenses the typical attitude of athletes in facing injuries - not to indulge in pain, but declares war on the future. This spirit is exactly the same as NBA star Klay Thompson's comeback oath after a rupture of the Achilles tendon and Real Madrid's persistence after a torn cruciate ligament: the essence of sports is not to avoid suffering, but to rebuild hope in the ruins.

🛡️Reflection and alertness: How to reduce the "Xu Zhonghao-style" tragedy?

1. Standardization of defensive action: The unfinished lesson of CBA

The controversy about Xu Zhonghao has been around for a long time. In the 2023-24 CBA regular season, he was suspended for elbowing his opponent for 6 games, but similar actions are still appearing in the international arena. This incident once again exposed the blur of the boundaries between some players on "hard defense" and "dangerous action". FIBA needs to work with various leagues to strengthen referee training and "zero tolerance" for collision movements in key parts such as shoulders and knees.

2. Schedule and fatigue management: Neglected injuries

Araki had just experienced the intensive Lebanese league schedule before he was injured. The Guangsha team where Xu Zhonghao is located has also suffered multiple injuries this season due to the main players' overdraw (such as Hu Jinqiu's stress fracture). The "back-to-back + multi-line combat" model puts the player's body at a critical point for a long time - a collision may trigger a chain reaction.

💡 Action Initiative: Guarding from individuals to systems

Technical auxiliary referees: Promote FIBA's "instant playback system", quickly judge disputed actions, and avoid misjudgment and condoning dangerous behaviors.

Mandatory physical fitness monitoring: Equip players with real-time load sensors, and automatically trigger the rotation rest mechanism when the fatigue value exceeds the standard.

Youth training is injected with "protection awareness": CBA and Asian leagues need to include "defensive safety guidelines" in the compulsory courses for youth training to reshape habits from the source.

🌈Conclusion: Lighting up the fire of returning in pain

Araki's season ended with surgery, but his declaration—"I will be better than ever"—is the ultimate interpretation of sportsmanship: a true champion is never defined by injury, but written by how to return.

As the fans left a message: "Brother Hao (Xu Zhonghao) please stop. Asian basketball needs Alaki and also requires a clean field." #Boycott injury #Sports Spirit #Alaki #CBA
