A condition called chondromalacia patellae almost became the end of Ding Yan Yuhang's career in basketball. People often sigh and think that Ding Yan Yuhang's playing with an injury in the playoffs was the trigger for the end of his career. However, this was not the case. That closed treatment was only because of a leg strain, and chondromalacia patellae in Ding Yan Yuhang's knee was the real reason his career was scrapped. Ding Yan Yuhang's chondromalacia patella, the cause is complex. First of all, as a four-letter foreign aid, his frequent right of action makes his knee bear a huge load. Secondly, his strong rushing inside playing style, but also make his knee burden. Shandong's then-coach Caesar's overuse of Ding Yanyuhang, as well as the misjudgment of Ding Yanyuhang and his agent Suiran about their own physical condition, all exacerbated Ding Yanyuhang's injuries.
Suoran, the agent who spared no effort to maximize the personal interests of Ding Yanyuhang, has also become the antagonist of Chinese fans because of a series of operations. From Zhou Qi to Ding Yanyuhang to Wang Zhelin, Suiran's operations have made his image awkward among fans. Although the existence of sports agents is a supplement to Chinese professional sports, Suoran's operations, especially on Ding Yanyuhang, have become a stain on his career. What happened to Ding Yanyuhang is undoubtedly a tragedy in his basketball path.
Looking back at Ding Yanyuhang's basketball career, we can see that there is a common problem in Chinese basketball: the premature retirement of star players. From Yao Ming to Ding Yan Yuhang, such examples are not uncommon in the Chinese basketball world. This is not only a tragedy for individual athletes, but also a lesson for the Chinese basketball world. In the past two decades of Chinese basketball, except for the 2008 Olympics, the rest of the memories seem to be gray. Too many excellent players ended their careers in their prime years, which is undoubtedly a great loss for Chinese basketball. From scientific training to reasonable participation, from sports medicine to injury recovery, the gap between Chinese basketball and the world basketball is really big. We can't help but ask why Chinese basketball, and even Chinese sports, has such a high incidence of injury? This is not only the tragedy of individual athletes, but also a problem that the Chinese basketball industry needs to think deeply about.
