Beiqing-Beijing Headline reporter learned on the 3rd that Wang Yixiong, an interior player selected by Fujian with the first pick in this year's draft, will likely miss the first stage of the tournament due to injury. It is understood that Wang Yixiong has left the Zhuji Division and is undergoing treatment and rehabilitation in Beijing.
Wang Yixiong previously played NCAA in the United States for four years, and he is a relatively tough inside player. At this year's draft, the Fujian team, which lacked an interior line, selected Wang Yixiong with a Zhuangyuan show. After coming to Fujian, Wang Yixiong performed well and he wanted to integrate into the team as soon as possible and make a name for himself in the league. Unluckily, during the pre-season warm-up match, Wang Yixiong injured his leg. After the MRI examination, Wang Yixiong's bones were fine, and he initially thought that the injury was not very serious and should be able to play at the beginning of the regular season, but after that, his injury was diagnosed again, or he was not very optimistic, and needed more time for treatment and rehabilitation. Under such circumstances, the Fujian team agreed that Wang Yixiong would leave the division and go to Beijing for later rehabilitation.
After the lack of Wang Yixiong, the Fujian team's internal line relied more on players such as Ou Junxuan to support, and the team was adversely affected. The Fujian team has played eight rounds of regular season, and their record is only 1 win and 7 losses, ranking second only to the Ningbo team with a total defeat record.
