Shanghai beat Fujian by 50 points, Wang Zhelin put on a T-shirt and a towel early on the sidelines, smiled and watched the new and old owners politely play the whole game, the thorn tung flowers were far away, laughing and thirsting for spring river water.
Such a disparity in points is not a single-game loss record in the history of the Fujian team, and the difference of 7 days is exactly a year ago, when Fujian let Zhejiang bomb out 143 points in a single game, but he only scored 90 points, and the huge score difference of 53 points forever remained on the shame column of team history. Wang Zhelin played 23 minutes, and was overwhelmed by the broadcast camera, while Fujian did not stop losing, and they created the worst start in the history of the team with 12 consecutive losses.
The 12-game losing streak is not the longest consecutive loss in the history of Fujian, in the 16-17 season, Fujian began with the loss to Guangdong in the 6th round and lost until the 18th round, which was the most bleak time in the history of the Fujian team. Wang Zhelin, who returned from injury at the time, tried his best in the new season, and during the 13-game losing streak, he played more than 40 minutes in a single game in five games, and he played 53 and a half minutes in overtime with Jilin Double. Last year, he played 11 of his 12-game losing streak, making six appearances for more than 39 minutes, but it was difficult to win.
Only a year later, Wang Zhelin's career situation has undergone a shocking reversal.
At 19 minutes and 22 seconds, Wang Zhelin clocked in to work and easily applauded on the bench to complete his 10th game in Shanghai. 8 wins and 2 losses, which is also the best start of his 10 seasons in his career, in the 9 seasons he played in Fujian, he only won 5 wins and 5 losses in the first 10 games, 14-15 and 17-18, and did not make the playoffs in both seasons.
In the offseason this year, Fujian exposed a big deal, and the star Wang Zhelin was sent to Shanghai in exchange for last season's Zhuangyuan District Junxuan, the 6th pick in the 2021 CBA Draft, the young player Pan Wei and a large amount of cash. Among them, Shanghai still has the right to buy back Ou Junxuan two years later, and according to unofficial gossip, the training fee paid by Shanghai to Fujian is as high as 80 million yuan.
Wang Zhelin successfully joined the strong team he hoped for, currently averaging 18.9 points, 10 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.1 blocks per game, shooting 53.4%. Averaging 26 minutes per game, his scoring stats have surpassed last season's 18.6 points, and his shooting percentage has been slightly overpowered, bearing in mind that he played 33.1 minutes per game last season, which is after the sharp decline in playing time in the second half of the season.
As the owner of the CBA's most famous empty slash group, Wang Zhelin has cut a total of 20 games with 30+ points in the past two seasons, 10 wins and 10 losses, just 50% of the win rate. People only focus on the fact that he scored high points and lost, but ignore another more important fact, that is, his horrible playing time, rookie averages 36 minutes per game in the league 16th, the following year averaged 38.3 minutes per game, high in third place, the top two are foreign aides, the first is his teammate Bahrami.
In 9 seasons, wang Zhelin, except for the injured 15-16 season, the next season just returned and the last season, his other 6 years averaged more than 36 minutes per game, of which 3 years were in the top 10 of the league. Most of the time, Wang Zhelin is a model worker in Fujian, but he can't win more victories for the team, Fujian can't give more support and has to rely on him, and the vicious circle is getting worse and worse.
This may be the reason why he hopes to leave Fujian, he is looking forward to turning the tide in the 10th year of his career, and any player will be willing to be the leader of the group forever. In the background of the loss, all his shortcomings have been infinitely magnified, no defense, no attitude, hanging lang dang, only play happy basketball, the most watery MVP...
Now, the king has finally embraced happy basketball on the beach.
In order to get the highest winning percentage of his career, Wang Zhelin only paid for the hard work of averaging 26 minutes per game, and he has never played 36 minutes in a single game in his Shanghai career, the average of his time in Fujian. He has never played in a defensively efficient team no. 2 in the league, and he now has a large group of teammates chasing after him on the outside, and they rush to him with panicked opponents, making him a career blocking career averaging 2.1 times per game, no. 2 in the league.
This is undoubtedly the strongest team in Wang Zhelin's career, although the record is only ranked 5th in the league, but Shanghai's average score per game, assists per game, use of mistakes to score, fast attack score are the first in the league, shooting percentage, defensive efficiency, number of free throws, offensive rebounds are the second, rebounds, blocks, steals, offensive efficiency are the third.
Shanghai may not have expected Wang Zhelin to be so good, he is a pioneer, not only actively adapting to his teammates on the offensive end, but still doing his best on the defensive end. At present, the king's defensive efficiency ranks second in the league, the use rate is 4th, the rebound in the frontcourt is 3rd, and PER, a comprehensive measure of the efficiency of players, he is also ranked 6th.
Wang Zhelin and Shanghai are in the honeymoon period, and their only question now is whether they can successfully break through the cocoon when facing the top 4 teams in the first echelon. In 4 days, Dawang will fight Shanghai again in Zhejiang, and 6 days later they will meet Shenzhen, and when the first stage ends, they are looking forward to becoming more perfect.
Human sorrow and joy are not the same, but there is no doubt that all people are pursuing happiness.
In the third quarter of the Fujian battle against Shanghai, when Wang Zhelin broke through the basket with the ball, a flash of light and shadow appeared, and the No. 7 player in Fujian sent a big hat and refused the basket that the king held in his hand this time, which was Ou Junxuan, who was sent to Fujian in the transaction. Ou Junxuan, who averaged only 5.5 points and 3.8 rebounds per game in his rookie year, made most people feel that their potential was exhausted, but for himself, he just had to wait for an opportunity.
Fujian is his best battlefield, only 206cm tall Ou Junxuan, in the past 10 games have been the starter, averaging 26.5 minutes per game, contributing 15.1 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game, shooting 61.2%. With less than 12 minutes of playing time, he went from role player to main center while maintaining his shooting percentage.
It is precisely because of being traded by Shanghai that Au Junxuan can get such a rare opportunity to perform stably, which is the most important thing for young players. Due to the departure of the king, Wang Yixiong was injured and did not return, he became the first choice in Fujian's inner line, flexible and mobile running position, active fighting attitude, averaging 3.4 rebounds in the front court, recently won two double-doubles in two consecutive games, at least 2 blocks in 3 consecutive games, and was in a hot state.
In fact, at the end of last season, Ou Junxuan had some good games after recovering his health, but Shanghai obviously could not provide him with room to grow. He is currently the defensive barrier of Fujian's inner line, and also the team's first scorer in the inner line, with an unprecedented improvement in tactical status, two years is enough for him to gain a firm foothold in Fujian, and even become one of the representatives of the league's mobile interior line.
Ou Junxuan has the domineering spirit to prove himself, and he should also have the courage to face up to shortcomings.
One of the big problems with his rookie years was fouling, and he was undersized by the internal confrontation, averaging 2.8 fouls in less than 15 minutes last season. After coming to Fujian, his playing time reached 26 minutes, which is actually not high for the starter, and a large part of the reason is that he currently averages 3.9 fouls per game, and the last game against Beijing was a key moment.
Another problem comes from his attack, although it is a short inside line, but Au Junxuan's play style is too biased towards the inside attack, only 4 shots outside the box in 10 games, averaging 0.4 times per game. The lack of long-range shots greatly reduced his offensive threat, while shooting 59.5 percent from the free throws and averaging only 2.5 from 4.2 free throws per game. While maintaining aggression and enriching offensive means, Ou Junxuan's future seems bright, but it is also urgent.
Another key bargaining chip in the deal was the No. 6 sign, which Fujian used to select Li Yiyang of Xiamen University, thus avoiding the dilemma of choosing between Wang Yixiong and Li Yiyang. As early as the 2017 National Games, Li Yiyang represented Fujian in the preliminary round of the men's basketball youth group, when Fujian had already taken a fancy to him, and after missing Yuan Tangwen, he also became a defender that Fujian had to win.
Averaging 8.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, 7 assists and 2.3 steals per game, although Cui Wanjun only tried to play 1 starter with Li Yiyang, he averaged 28.7 minutes per game on the bench, which is the team's absolute main rotation. Li Yiyang's big picture view, passing awareness and oppression of the ball carrier are all beyond the rookies, and the last game against Beijing was vivid.
Although Li Yiyang's advantages and disadvantages are obvious, it does not prevent him from becoming the hope of Fujian's future.
Shooting 33.3 percent from the field, 24.1 percent from three-point range, and 64 percent from the free throw line, Li Yiyang's shooting data is ridiculously poor compared to Shanghai Cornice Wall-walking rookie Li Tianrong. Interestingly, in the two games in Shanghai, Li Yiyang totaled 8 of 13, in front of Wang Zhelin and that deal, he played his best offensive state at present, perhaps he also held his breath, to prove something, but it is a pity that he and Ou Junxuan have not been able to repel Shanghai at this time.
Li Yiyang and Ou Junxuan have long been the core young resources of Fujian's internal and external lines, and they are also the brightest stars so far this season. Thanks to that trade, Au Jun-hyun gained unimaginable playing time and tactical status in the previous season, and he was still trying to make up for his physical weakness and accumulate offensive and defensive experience, and the first game of his career 20+10 was his declaration. Li Yiyang is still a long way from becoming a true backcourt core, but his two flashes of inspiration have brought Fujian a rare victory, and he just needs to be more stable.
Looking back at that transaction, with the characteristics of the golden dollar football, a team paid a large amount of cash, and then added some chips in the basketball circle trading rules, role players, draft picks, and young players, used to match the trade, and finally successfully took away the superstar from the weak team.
Under the offensive of jin yuan, Shanghai quickly transformed from a fish belly into a strong team, while Fujian could only continue to accept the pain of the record and a 50-point defeat. Fujian's biggest relief is that when the CBA draft is completely unable to reach the value of the NBA's chips, the two young high-ranking rookies are making the value of the deal closer and closer.
Based on Wang Zhelin's 9 seasons of exhaustion and tiredness, it is difficult to stay after the superstar who has decided to go, and this unfair and unequal deal finally let people take what they need.
Shanghai has the coveted inner core, Wang Zhelin is full of spirit in the new battlefield, and they are dreaming about how to land on the other shore. Fujian's record is terrible, but the young people have never lost their resolute eyes, and there are also starlights in the grizzly swamp.
Unfair but perfect, just forget each other, look at the expressionless Chen Linjian, after all, can not make everyone feel better.
