September 11, on August 28, according to domestic media reports, the captain of the Chinese men's basketball team Zhao Rui will join Beijing Shougang from Xinjiang Men's Basketball Team in the new season. On September 11, Zhao Rui talked about the leader of the Chinese men's basketball team in an interview that he needs to be responsible and dare to draw his sword at critical moments.
Zhao Rui's performance in the 2023 Men's Basketball World Cup is obvious to all. When he returned to the national team, he was directly appointed as a captain, which is enough to see the recognition and trust of coach Guo Shiqiang and the coaching team for his strength. As long as he controls his bad temper and sets an example, he is the most suitable leader of this young men's basketball team.
In the just-concluded Men's Basketball Asian Cup, Zhao Rui led the team to the runner-up. As the captain, Zhao Rui played in the whole 6 games, averaging 23.3 minutes per game, scoring 13.5 points, 3.7 rebounds and 4.5 assists, shooting percentage of 42.4%, three-point shooting percentage of 35.5%, and free throw shooting percentage of 90.9%.
On August 28, according to domestic media reports, Zhao Rui ended the remaining one year Class D (maximum salary) contract with Xinjiang Men's Basketball Team in advance and became a restricted free agent. Beijing later claimed it and signed a three-year Class C contract with Zhao Rui.
On September 11, the reporter asked Zhao Rui's topic as the captain of the men's basketball team, "Zhao Jiwei said before that the national team needs an absolute leader. Do you agree with this view?"
Zhao Rui said: "I agree with this view more. No matter whether you can succeed or score, you have to come out and take responsibility. This is something that a leader must have. Nowadays, most of the young players, so you must stand up more when you are in difficult times and help the team."
Perhaps it is precisely because of its own shining points that also makes Guo Shiqiang trust and value Zhao Rui very much.
In response, netizens said, "Aren't you the only one in this team, you are the oldest"
"Requires hard solution capabilities"
"The one who is brave enough to take responsibility is right. Every time I can't hit, I will say, mine"
"No one can be used at the moment, so I'm waiting for ten years"
"It's right below, just a little bit more"
"Zhou Qi☞Isn't it me who is talking about~ I have taken on almost everything in the past few years~ And~ It seems that Zhao Rui was the one who took the sideline ball when he was fighting against Poland."
"As the same sentence, only Hu Mingxuan and Zhao Rui have the ability to solve the problem in this group of players nowadays"
"Translation: I want to be Doncic."
