On July 8, Beijing time, according to the well-known sports blogger Wang Jian, Li Hongquan, who has joined the Shanghai men's basketball team, will not participate in the CBA in the new season, but will go to overseas leagues to play for a year to improve himself and then return to the Shanghai men's basketball team, which has also won the support of the Shanghai men's basketball team.
This summer, Shanghai media revealed that Li Hongquan, who played in the NCAA last season, will join the Shanghai men's basketball team in the new season. As soon as the news came out, this also caused a lot of attention, the main reason is that Li Hongquan has outstanding ability.
Fans who follow Li Hongquan know that he is capable. Born in 2001, Li Hongquan is 1.98 meters tall and weighs 104 kilograms, and plays as a striker. Although he grew up in Canada, Li Hongquan is a Chinese national. In high school, Li Hongquan played an outstanding performance with excellent bouncing and confrontation, as well as all-round offensive means, and won a lot of attention from the American media and American universities, and finally he chose to join the Caspian University. At the same time, he also entered the national youth team training.
Because of his strong body, excellent bounce and confrontation, and comprehensive offensive skills, Li Hongquan has also been called "China Zion" by many fans, and he is also expected to impact the NBA.
However, Li Hongquan did not get many opportunities at Caspian University last season. Throughout the season, he played 14 games, averaging just 12.1 minutes per game, averaging only 4 points and 2.1 rebounds per game.
Due to the many uncertainties caused by the epidemic in the United States, Li Hongquan also prompted Li Hongquan to plan his career in advance. It is reported that even if Li Hongquan stays at Caspian University, the playing time in the new season will continue to be compressed, and Caspian University has always let him play the fourth position, not the third position, and various factors have prompted Li Hongquan, who wants to play professional basketball, to decide to return to China to join the CBA. Considering that Zhang Zhenlin shined in the Liaoning team last season, Li Hongquan, who is also talented and has played in the NCAA, has also been pinned high hopes on by many fans.
However, Li Hongquan still hopes to improve himself first, so he will not play in the youth league and CBA next season, but will go to overseas leagues to promote for a year, so as to return to the Shanghai men's basketball team later. At present, the NBA Development League and the Australian League are within the scope of Li Hongqing's consideration.
As far as Li Hongquan's choice is concerned, it is still quite worth encouraging. Although leaving the NCAA is regrettable, taking the initiative to ask to go to overseas leagues to promote themselves is not something that every young player will consider. And what kind of performance will Li Hongquan, who has been exercising for a year, perform in the CBA in the future? This is also very exciting. At the same time, the Shanghai men's basketball team still supports Li Hongquan to promote himself in overseas leagues when the all-China squad is in urgent need of employment next season, which is also very commendable.
