In fact, ZhangJike has always been a controversial figure in table tennis. The controversy began with the withdrawal from the team in 2004. Paradoxically, after being expelled from the national team, both Guo Ping and ZhangJike himself and all parties kept it a secret, saying nothing afterwards, and there was no "official authoritative news".
Since then, some media said that after a long time, ZhangJike once answered the controversial question like this: young and frivolous, doing something wrong. ZhangJike 12 was recruited by Shandong Luneng Table Tennis Team. Two years later, in March 2002, ZhangJike entered the second national team, where his strength was well reflected, and he successfully entered the first team one year later.
In just three years, ZhangJike has achieved the triple jump from the provincial team to the national first team, which is faster than many professional table tennis players. Perhaps the road was too flat, and ZhangJike lost himself in the process of marching. He feels good about himself in the national team and often shows an unruly character, which has become a problem for table tennis teenagers.
As a result, after only a few months in the first team, ZhangJike was sent back to the Shandong team by the national team for serious violation of team rules. There are even rumors about this mysterious resignation, including dating and gambling. However, as ZhangJike returned to the national team, his performance got better and better, and finally nobody took care of him.
But in any case, quitting this time is a mysterious "stain" in his sports career, and its energy is definitely worse than playing billboards this time, so it can be used to explain many perverse behaviors in his sports career.
Extended data:
After returning to the national team, ZhangJike screwed up again in the trials. At that time, when head coach Zhong Yong asked for a timeout, ZhangJike refused to leave the stadium. This made Liu, then the head coach of China table tennis men's team, very unhappy. He criticized ZhangJike in front of the media. However, due to this rebellious behavior, ZhangJike lost the opportunity to participate in the West Asia Open and the World Table Tennis Championships.
In the eyes of fans, most players of China table tennis team are reserved and do not like to talk. Accustomed to silence seems to be related to table tennis always moving between squares. In addition, most table tennis players in China have been away from home for too long since childhood and lack communication with family and friends. After a long time, their personalities will be somewhat closed.
