On the court, he made every opponent grit his teeth, but any team needs such a "silly" character. Under the court, his beautiful wife is accompanied by a rich career. He has everything, but in the 10th year of his career, he chooses to leave his hometown and protect another home.
Xirilijiang , this highly controversial first "thorny" player of CBA, ran away from Xinjiang this summer and came to the completely unfamiliar place in Guangdong. Why did he make a decision that many people puzzled? The answers will be revealed in this article soon.

In the tenth year of his CBA career, 27-year-old Xirelijiang completed the transfer for the first time.
This summer, the Guangzhou Men's Basketball Team and the Xinjiang Men's Basketball Team made a big deal involving multiple people. Xirelijiang, as one of the most important bargaining chips, brought the Xinjiang team a young center Fan Ziming together with Yao Tianyi and Sun Mingyang .
I'm afraid just a year ago, Xirelijiang would never have thought that as a signature figure in Xinjiang men's basketball team, he would even wear the battle jerseys of other teams.

first pulled the pointer of time back to April this year, when Xinjiang team had just been eliminated in playoffs . As defending champions, they eventually fell in the first round of the playoffs, and the four-game battle with Guangdong team was almost completely suppressed by their opponents. Such a result obviously cannot satisfy the senior management of the Xinjiang team.
So, a large-scale personnel change was carried out within the Xinjiang team.
, who previously served as chairman and general manager, Zhang Aijun , resigned, and the founder of Xinjiang Guanghui Club Hou Wei , regained the power of the team; the championship coach Li Qiuping also chose to leave after the contract expired, and he actually had the idea of leaving last summer; and in terms of players, the Xinjiang team, which is eager to seek talents, has been constantly moving. They signed Zeng Lingxu for a high salary, and even had contact with Sun Yue .
But in the eyes of the team management, there is a very lack of a young and athletic big man in the interior, and they are focusing on Fan Ziming .

20-year-old Fan Ziming has just spent his second CBA season. Although this 2.10-meter-long young man, his skills need to be crafted, his athletic ability and physical fitness are recognized as potential stars in the basketball circle. After Zhou Qi left , what Xinjiang team lacked the most was a big man who protected the basket, and Fan Ziming was the most suitable candidate.
When the Xinjiang Club communicated with Guangzhou, the Guangzhou team also offered their own conditions, and they named Xirelijiang - a veteran defender with rich experience, strong defense and accurate perimeter.
At the beginning, when the Xinjiang team told Xirelijiang his thoughts, Xire was reluctant to do so. This is not difficult to understand. Xirelijiang is a native Xinjiang player. He has played for the team for 10 seasons and is now the player with the longest time in the Xinjiang team.

He has a distinct label. He is sometimes impulsive and impatient, but he is always full of blood and fighting spirit. His physical fitness is mediocre, but he is the most feared outside defender in the entire CBA. The opponent's fans hate him to the core, but any team needs such a "silly" character.
Over the years, Xirelijiang has long become a banner of the Xinjiang men's basketball team. Although the Xinjiang team has gathered big names, it is the real soul of the Xinjiang team.
Xirelijiang started a family and started a business in Xinjiang. He married a beautiful Uyghur girl. Outside the stadium, he also started a side job. He and his friends opened a restaurant called Mr. Muyang in Urumqi. In more than a year, this restaurant has become a famous catering brand in Xinjiang. His roots are here, his friends are here, and his life is here, and he was not willing to give up all of this at first.


Xirelijiang's attitude has not changed the Xinjiang team's persistence. You should know that next year will be the 30th anniversary of the establishment of Xinjiang Guanghui Group, and the club also hopes to present a gift to the group with a championship trophy.
Finally, after repeated persuasion by the club's senior management, Xirelijiang agreed to the deal. In the second half of his career, he left his hometown and went to Guangdong, the test facing Xirelijiang is extremely severe.
"It's been 10 years since I played professional basketball. I want to go to other clubs in China to see it, learn and experience something different. In fact, all of this is to prepare me for being a coach in the future. China is so big, I want to go and see it, which can be regarded as my contribution to the Xinjiang team," said Xirelijiang.
Xirelijiang means "lion" in Uyghur. He also likes lions. In his bones, he also has a "king of beasts" who is brave and fierce in his desire to win. When he came to a strange environment, Xirelijiang did not regard himself as a "guest", but was more eager to prove himself.

In order to ensure that the knee load is not too large, weight loss is an important subject in Xirelijiang every summer. After two weeks of coming to the Guangzhou team, his weight lost a full 5 kilograms. He posted photos of himself on social media, with eight packs of abdominal muscles distinct lines.
Guangzhou team is a young team, and Xirelijiang soon entered the role of "Big Brother". "Everyone takes good care of me, whether it is the coach, teammate, or the management. In Xinjiang, I will not design a tactical style for me specifically. In this game, the coach took me as the core and designed the tactics." Xirelijiang said.
html Super 8 matches played in Macau in July were the first appearance of Xirelijiang after joining Guangzhou team. In the first game, Xirelijiang's performance was severely abnormal, missing 13 three-pointers and only scored 6 points.
The competitive Xire was once very depressed, but the encouragement of Guangzhou coach Juan gave him great encouragement. "He trusted me very much. I played like that in the first game, and he told me that it was okay, I believe in you." Xirelijiang said.
"I still need to adapt to the injury some time ago, and this new environment. He said KEEP SHOTTING, don't stop, continue to shoot. His requirements for me are to continue the style of a strong team in Xinjiang. For example, defense, concentration in training, and overall understanding of basketball are conveyed to these young players, so that everyone can understand the coach's intentions faster in training."
's future goal is to transform into a coach, Xirelijiang, who is also gradually trying to enter the role in his usual training and life, and he began to bear more sense of mission. Sometimes, Xirelijiang will watch the game video with the coaching staff until late at night, and it is not uncommon to guide the young people around you.
Xirelijiang said: "I told young players to stay aggressive and defend, play harder and more focused. I communicated with the coach. I am also a defensive player myself. I have played in the CBA for 10 years. When I came here, I hope to strengthen the one-on-one defense of young people, connect them and coaches, and make young players more adaptable and understand the coach's system."

Many people know that Xirelijiang's growth history is like an inspirational story. This young man from the remote small town of Xinjiang, Kashgar , was only 16 years old when he was exposed to regular basketball training, but being able to achieve his current achievements is one of the most important reasons. Xirelijiang, who already holds the championship, no longer needs to prove anything in the eyes of many people, and his contract with the Guangzhou team is only one year short.
But this is not the case in Xirelijiang's eyes. Since he has come here, this is his battlefield and this is his home he needs to protect. Xirelijiang is ready to start another charge in Guangzhou, thousands of miles away from home. In the late this month, the Extraordinary 12 matches will be held in Macau. Xirelijiang will represent the Guangzhou team to compete with many top teams from all over Asia. This is another important opportunity for him to integrate with the team.
His bullets are loaded.
