Things are so big! Xu Zhonghao became famous overnight, and the AFC MVP season reimbursement attracted international attention

It's a big deal! A "Iron Mountain" has changed the entire Asian basketball landscape.

On the evening of June 12, when Lebanese superstar Alaki fell on the AFC Champions League, even Xu Zhonghao himself did not expect that this collision would create an international influence and an alternative "breakthrough" of Chinese basketball. Now the whole network is discussing a question: is Xu Zhonghao a hero who "his deep merit and fame" or a "perpetrator" who is unintentionally involved in the willows?

Once the world is hit, the Asian basketball landscape suddenly changed

Speaking of Alaki, he is a real Asian basketball superstar - the MVP of the AFC Champions League last year, with a data average of 20.8 points, 4 rebounds and 8.4 assists per game, and this year's group stage was a terrifying performance of 28.5 points per game. In the words of fans, this guy is a "dimensionality reduction strike" in the AFC Champions League. Zhejiang Guangsha's 102-66 defeat to Alriyadh is the best proof.

But who would have thought that in the game where Alaki scored 19 points and 5 rebounds and had an efficiency value of 24, a seemingly ordinary defensive confrontation completely changed everything.

Xu Zhonghao's "Iron Mountain Behind" is, in the words of netizens, "stay still, use stillness to control the movement". As a result, this static movement directly caused Asian basketball to lose a top superstar. Alaki lay down on the spot, dislocated his shoulders, and was reimbursed for the season, and even the Asian Cup in August was ruined.

Controversy Whirlpool: Is it a hero or a perpetrator?

The public opinion reaction is very interesting now. Netizens were divided into two factions, one regarded Xu Zhonghao as an "old hero". What is the problem that no one in the national team can solve? He solved the praise of "Xu's old hero hidden merits and fame". Another group questioned whether this action was too intense, after all, it directly destroyed the AFC MVP.

From a technical point of view, this is indeed a normal defensive move. Although it is fouled, it is not considered malicious. But the problem is, the result is too serious. An ordinary CBA player, one action, allows the top Asian superstars to end the season early, and even Hollywood screenwriters dare not write this drama.

Araki's response on social media was also quite touching: "I said sadly that my season ended due to injury...but I did not finish it! I will come back stronger than before! "This professional attitude has won respect, but it also makes Xu Zhonghao's collision seem even more "important".

Deep thinking: "Alternative breakthrough" of Chinese basketball?

It is also ironic to say that the Chinese men's basketball team has been defeated repeatedly in the international arena over the years, with poor skills and poor tactics. However, I did not expect that in the "physical confrontation" aspect, I found another way.

Xu Zhonghao's collision objectively reduced the Chinese team a strong opponent in the Asian Cup. Although this was not done on purpose, the effect was real. Netizens joked that "If the men's basketball team does not win the championship, they are sorry for the good intentions of Mr. Xu." Although it is a joke, it also tells the embarrassing situation of Chinese basketball - if you cannot make a breakthrough in technology, you can only rely on "physical breakthrough"?

More importantly, the international impact of this matter cannot be underestimated.

Foreign media have begun to pay attention to this "unexpected incident". If it is packaged as a malicious hype of "Chinese players intentionally hurt their opponents", it will not be a good thing for the international image of Chinese basketball. The chairman of the Lebanese Basketball Association also spoke out to sue the Guangsha team.

Second effects: It is a blessing or a disaster, and it is hard to predict. From the current perspective, the subsequent effects of Xu Zhonghao's collision are still fermenting. On the one hand, the "heroicization" packaging of netizens has brought national emotions to this matter; on the other hand, the international basketball community may have new views on the game style of Chinese players.

No matter what, Xu Zhonghao's "Iron Mountain Bean" has become completely popular, making it popular with the CBA, China, and the entire Asian basketball circle. But it is really hard to draw a conclusion whether this kind of fire method is a good or a bad thing.
