In the world of basketball, there is a figure known as a "basketball maniac", who has his trademark bald head, speaks an authentic American accent, and has an "American temper" that does not admit defeat.
He is Ma Jian, a former national team basketball player.
He is unruly by nature, even if he has a happy family and both children now, he still has a regret - he can't continue to play in China.
This "basketball fanatic" has quite an opinion on the plight of the Chinese men's basketball team, especially on October 17, an unprecedented "questioning" moment in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team.
The athletes did not perform well in the game, and netizens complained one after another, and the situation of the final defeat made people feel unhappy.
As a former national team athlete, Ma Jian also shared his views on the Internet, advocating that the Chinese men's basketball team should undergo a major surgery for nirvana rebirth.
However, Ma Jian's views have not been widely recognized, but have caused some dissatisfaction.
Despite the controversy, "basketball fanatic" Ma Jian has always been concerned about the Chinese men's basketball team.
Looking back on his basketball career, he was once the most dazzling presence in the Chinese men's basketball team.
Gifted, he showed a talent for basketball like no other as a teenager, and with his strong physicism and excellent skills, he became an invincible presence on the school court.
With the continuous outstanding achievements, Ma Jian attracted the attention of the national team and embarked on the road of a professional basketball player.
In 1987, he represented Hebei Province in the national league, and he led his team to win the championship in one fell swoop and became a leader in the basketball world.
However, Ma Jian's personality is too arrogant, which makes some people dissatisfied with him.
Although some people persuaded him to change, the young and vigorous Ma Jian did not care, thinking that the basketball court only depends on skill and honor.
Ma Jian's basketball career has also been brilliant on the international stage, but he has always had high standards for himself.
At Barcelona 1992, he withdrew after failing to show his full potential. This loss made him hesitate, and at this time, an American university coach found him again.
The coach said that as long as he is willing to play in the United States, all problems can be solved.
Ma Jian was moved, but due to various reasons, he did not end up traveling to the United States, but stayed in China.
At home, Ma Jian continued to win glory for the country, but due to personality reasons, he failed to get along with the national team.
Although he played in the CBA for four years, he still could not integrate into the Chinese men's basketball team.
In 2001, he chose to retire, although he publicly said that he had a secret reason for leaving.
After that, he turned his attention to family, married his wife Miko Takahashi, and became the father of three children.
Now, although Ma Jian is no longer on the stage, he has not disappeared from the public eye.
With his physical fitness still outstanding, he became a popular actor in film and television dramas, and served as a commentator to explain the game to fans.
Although he failed to enter the Chinese Basketball Hall of Fame, his deeds are still remembered by many fans.
He may not have made it to the NBA in his life, but his basketball passion and strength continue to shine on different stages.
