Recently, a user posted a video insulting Liaoning men's basketball player Zhang Zhenlin on the Internet platform, and it was forwarded to multiple media platforms. Since then, the Liaoning men's basketball team has officially issued a statement, calling on the outside world to know the law and abide by the law, urging the infringers to stop the infringement immediately.

Due to the unsatisfactory performance in the World Cup and the Hangzhou Asian Games, the results did not meet expectations, and the Chinese men's basketball team was questioned by the outside world. When a number of national team players returned to the CBA league, the doubts did not dissipate, and even escalated into personal attacks. Similar to Zhang Zhenlin's situation, many men's basketball players have been accused by fans on the Internet recently and suffered cyberbullying.

In this regard, Yao Ming, chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association, said that the Chinese Basketball Association will always support the athletes, "We do not agree with the (comments) that go beyond the basketball part." ”

Yao Ming said that the outside world is welcome to correct the technical actions of players on the court. "For some comments that go beyond basketball itself, the Chinese Basketball Association is also willing to help the players." Yao Ming said frankly that the comments (doubts) of the outside world have always existed, and with the development of the Internet, cyberviolence has begun to increase.

Xu Jicheng, vice chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association, also said that during the relatively difficult period of the Chinese men's basketball team, he hopes to hear more voices of encouragement. "At national team level, no athlete is going to be lazy. Everyone has put in their own efforts, but harvesting and growing is a regular thing. ”

Previously, Yang Ming, the former coach of the Liaoning men's basketball team, also talked about this issue. He said that excessive blame is not conducive to the growth of players and the team, and does not help players improve.

In addition, Yao Ming also responded to the question of the Chinese men's basketball head coach Djordjevic on the 23rd. Yao Ming said that Qiao Shuai is preparing for the national team competition in the window next February. According to the schedule, the Chinese men's basketball team will face Mongolia in the Asian Cup qualifiers in February next year.
