As we all know, South Korea has always given other countries the impression that the national pride is "unusually" strong, and it likes to "occupy" the history and culture of other countries, and they want to lead other countries in any way, of course, the field of sports is no exception.
In the era when the Chinese men's basketball team dominated Asia, Yao Ming Wang Zhizhi was the representative of Chinese basketball and the representative of the most successful basketball players in Asia. At this time, South Koreans disagreed with this statement. They found someone to compete with Yao Ming. This person is a big man with a height of 2 meters and 21 meters - Hesheng Town.
It's an undeniable fact that Ha Seung-jin is the only player in The entire history of Basketball in South Korea to land in the NBA.
In 2004, Kawasei, who had just helped Yonsei University win the national championship, decided to give up his studies and run to Los Angeles to receive more professional training in preparation for landing in the NBA. In the 2004 draft, with a height of 2.21 meters and a solid tonnage, Hesheng was selected by the Portland Trail Blazers with the 46th overall pick in the second round and became the team's backup center.
In his rookie season, he played in 19 games, but averaged only 5.5 minutes of playing time per game, 1.37 points and 0.95 rebounds from 43.5 percent shooting, which was undoubtedly a failure for a tall giant center, and there was no other highlight except for 13 points and 5 rebounds on 6-of-7 shooting against the Lakers at the end of the season.
In the 2005–06 season, HaSheng Town's playing time increased to an average of 7.8 minutes per game, with 1.63 points and 1.81 rebounds per game shooting at 58.1%, and served as the starting center of four teams when Both Ratliff and Pulzbila were injured at the same time, but did not help the team in any substantial way.
At the end of the season, he was sent to the Bucks in a four-man trade, then directly cut by the Bucks, and after a period of mixing in the development league, he had no choice but to end his career in the NBA.
In addition to the bad in the NBA, the most impressive thing is that in the men's basketball final of the 2010 Asian Games in Guangzhou, the Chinese team successfully defeated the South Korean team under the leadership of Wang Zhizhi and won the championship, while the defeated South Korean team center Ha Seung-jin cried after the game, and Dazhi curiously asked him what he was crying? Ha Shengzhen replied: "If I don't win the championship, I will have to go to military service." Later, it was learned that Hesheng Town had really been sent to the army to distribute newspapers. ”
Since then, the story of Dae-seok crying south Korean big center has spread, and the name of Ha Seung Town has also become a household name. Some people say that he is not strong, and some people say that he is not born at the right time, so what level of athlete was the tall center who was beaten and cried by Wang Zhizhi?
In fact, from the time Hesheng town came into contact with basketball, he was destined to become a supporting role, because it was the era when Yao Ming ruled Asia and called the wind and rain on the NBA. In order to be able to restrict Yao Ming on the international stage, the tall Town of Hesheng was pushed onto the basketball court. But in addition to high, Ha Sheng Town's other physical talent is lackluster, the rush of basketball IQ has also been criticized, his range is only effective under the basket, the projection ability is basically negligible, the NBA career free throw shooting rate is only 50%, but even under the basket, he is also good at making up the basket and dunking, and the function on the court is too single.
When he and Yao Ming really played, people clearly saw their gap, Hesheng Town is just an ordinary giant, tall at the same time also has the weakness of slow speed, poor agility, and Yao Ming in addition to tall, but also has a soft shooting feel, rich offensive skills and excellent action agility, in front of Hesheng Town, Yao Ming is completely another dimension of existence.
Since yao ming and Wang Zhizhi cannot be restricted, HaShengzhen has no significance in the Korean team, and his style of play itself is incompatible with the Korean team's "Little Quick" playing style, so although he is the first person in the Korean NBA, he has not become the tactical core of the Korean men's basketball team.
Although there is a clear gap between HeshengZhen and Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi and Yi Jianlian, how does he compare with Zhou Qi? In contrast, Hesheng Town entered the NBA with the 46th overall pick, averaging 1.5 points, 1.5 rebounds and 0.3 blocks per game; Zhou Qi was the 43rd overall pick, averaging 1.3 points, 1.2 rebounds and 0.7 blocks per game, which was slightly dominant in data, but the same giant of more than 2.20 meters, Zhou Qi's three-point range and speed advantages were not available to Hesheng Town, and in terms of Hesheng Town's relatively single offensive skills, it was difficult for him to cause effective damage to Zhou Qi, who had good rim protection ability in the low position.
After leaving the NBA, Ha Seung-jin's average data in the highest season of the Korean Professional League was 13.62 points, 10 rebounds and 1.26 blocks, while Zhou Qi's career average in the CBA was 16.8 points, 9.6 rebounds and 2.9 blocks per game, we all know that the overall level of the CBA is significantly stronger than the Korean League, which shows that outside the NBA field, it is obvious that Zhou Qi's personal ability is slightly inferior.
Therefore, the reason why Hesheng town has not achieved enough achievements in the field of basketball is not because he happens to be in the same era as Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi, and his extremely unlimited basketball talent is difficult to make a difference even now.
