On September 12, Liaoning men's basketball player Zhao Jiwei updated his social media post: The one who thinks the most is to go to the Kobe statue. I once had the opportunity to meet Kobe himself, but I missed it. I thought there would be many opportunities in the future, but I didn’t expect... I still say the same thing, cherish the present.
The dynamics of the Kobe statue in front of Zhao Jiwei's Lakers Arena sparked heated discussion. The legendary superstar is undoubtedly one of the role models of Zhao Jiwei's generation, but he completely bid farewell to the outside world after the accident.
Although Zhao Jiwei was absolutely the main defender in the past three Olympics, he has never competed with Kobe in the same game, which can almost be said to have completely staggered his career.
Korea withdrew from the U.S. national team after the 2012 London Olympics. After winning the gold medal for the United States at the Olympic Games, he officially announced the end of his national team career.
The record of Kobe's US national team is very luxurious, reaching 36 wins and 0 losses (including the Olympics, World Championships, etc.). It can be said that Kobe's US team is the dream team that is truly familiar to the outside world.
In contrast, since Zhao Jiwei was selected for the Chinese men's basketball team for the first time in 2015, he has gradually become the main defender of the national team.
played for the national team for the first time during the 2015 Asian Championships, and steadily occupied the main position in subsequent events.
The two of them have been staggering a long career. It is not surprising that there is no record of fighting, but there are no offline meetings between the two in some activities, which may be one of Zhao Jiwei's regrets.
It is worth mentioning that Guangdong men's basketball player Cui Yongxi revealed that in terms of the jersey number of a legendary superstar, he chose the same choice as his teammate of a national team of the Guangdong men's basketball team. The outside world speculated that it was Xu Jie, who had already put on the No. 24 jersey in the previous warm-up match.
