In a thrilling overtime battle, Zeng Fanbo was forced to leave the game after only 2 minutes of injury, while Raymond received a full foul early in the fierce duel and had no choice but to leave the game. Although five players of the Beijing BAIC men's basketball team scored double-doubles, they still lost to the Tianjin Pioneers 124-130 in the end, and experienced a thrilling 21-point reversal on the opponent's turf. At the last second of the game, as the final whistle blew, the Beijing team swallowed a bitter defeat at this moment when night and day were intertwined.
The news released by Shougang Club after the game was like a heavy sigh, revealing unyielding and encouragement between the words: "The end of the night is the dawn, brothers, regroup and move on!" However, the words of encouragement did not quell the frustration of the fans, who expressed their displeasure with the content of the team's post-defeat post – it seemed that every defeat was followed by either an apology or an indoctrination of chicken soup for the soul.
Prior to this, the Beijing men's basketball team had just suffered a humiliating blow of 33 points from the Nanjing men's basketball team at home, and wanted to save face and rebuild confidence on the occasion of the Tianjin men's basketball team, but they did not expect to fall into the abyss of overturning again, which was a big surprise.
After the game, a chat record of a fan revealed a discordant scene: Fan Ziming had a fierce verbal conflict with a fan in his own fan base. The fan gently suggested that Fan Ziming should be more active in defending and raising his hand to interfere with the opponent, but Fan Ziming responded sharply: "The jersey is given to you to play, you can only talk nonsense, and you don't understand anything." Not only that, but he also made insulting remarks and abused the fan and ruthlessly removed him from the group chat.
This shocking scene took place in Fan's own supporter base, which is particularly glaring for a professional player who is supposed to cherish and give back to the fans, especially when the fan is merely offering constructive comments rather than over-criticism.
In the game against Tianjin Pioneers, Fan Ziming fought for 32 minutes as a starter, but the report card was not ideal - only contributed 9 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, and the number of fouls accumulated to 5. In the face of such a sluggish performance, some people can't help but question what kind of capital he has to put on an arrogant attitude, and even speak ill of fans.
Back in the summer of last year, Fan Ziming was once involved in blockbuster trade rumors involving Zhou Qi, and the Beijing Shougang club initially tried to trade him for Zhou Qi, but Fan Ziming expressed his reluctance to go to the Xinjiang team.
In the end, Shougang Club chose to renew Fan Ziming's four-year D-level maximum salary contract. So far this season, he has contributed 13 in 26 minutes per game2 points, 66 rebounds and 14 assists, shooting rate as high as 55%, the data seems bright, but in the actual game, Fan Ziming's style of play has been criticized as soft, the defensive performance is worrying, the previous accurate mid-range jumper has disappeared without a trace, and the signature response ball is also rare, perhaps the coaching team has not accurately found the tactical positioning to stimulate his potential. You must know that Fan Ziming is currently the only player in the Beijing men's basketball team who enjoys the highest salary, and he also enjoys a higher salary than veterans such as Fang Shuo and Zhai Xiaochuan, so the outside world generally believes that he should become the most stable and outstanding pillar of the team, rather than being labeled as a "mess".
Although Fan Ziming was named to the CBA's All-NBA Second Team two years ago and rushed to help the national team when needed, his form has shown a clear downward trend this season. In the face of this situation, Fan Ziming should indeed deeply reflect on his own problems and strive to find his competitive state, instead of diverting his attention by attacking fans.
