In last night's CBA first-stage finale, Liaoning beat Guangsha 102-94.
In this battle, Zhang Zhenlin once again played a brilliant game.
After 35 minutes on the court, he scored an all-around statistic of 20 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 steals.
In the second quarter, facing Xu Zhonghao's defense, he also staged a wave of curved bow-like powerful partitions, and the beauty was directly pulled full.
Seeing Zhang Zhenlin unleashing his physical talent on the field, Di Ge couldn't help but think of the one who had studied in the United States with him, and his talent was no less than his, known as the "forced king" of the three giants of national youth:
Wang Quanze.
The reason for remembering Wang Quanze was that he did not have him, and he simply felt sorry.
You know, during Zhang Zhenlin's time in the United States, his identity was only a three-star high school student.
Played in the NCAA for two years, when playing at Tulane University, the best single-season statistic, averaging 6.5 points, 2.4 rebounds and shooting 35.4% from the field in 22.5 minutes of playing time.
Wang Quanze, on the other hand, was once rated as a four-star high school student.
In his first year at the University of Pennsylvania, he averaged 8.5 points, 3.6 rebounds, 45.5 percent from the field and three-time division rookie honor in 18.1 minutes.
If it weren't for injuries, Wang Quanze would definitely not be less concerned than Zhang Zhenlin now.
Here is a brief popularization of Wang Quanze's injury.
On December 24, 2019, Wang Quanze suffered a serious knee injury, and after confirmation by the University of Pennsylvania men's basketball coach Steve Donahue, he announced that he had returned to China for medical treatment.
Over the next two years, he fell into a long period of recovery.
In May this year, Wang Quanze was selected by Du Feng to join the national sparring team.
But weeks later, he was still excluded from the big list.
In early September, Wang Quanze personally revealed that his injury is close to recovery, and in the new season, he will return to the NCAA League, and after completing his final year of studies, he will join the CBA League as a Guangzhou player.
Now, the NCAA League has officially started, because of the knee injury wang Quanze, who has not played in real combat for 687 days, how is he doing now?
The bad news is that through the video, his current explosive power and lateral speed are not as good as before.
The good news is that the University of Pennsylvania did not abandon Wang Quanze, but respected it and still placed it in the rotation lineup.
Returning to the first game against Florida State University on November 10, Wang Quanze started 23 minutes and had 7 points and 3 rebounds, all three of which were frontcourt rebounds.
On Nov. 12, against George Mason University, he played 13 minutes off the bench and had 4 points and 1 rebound.
In two games, he averaged 18 minutes on the court, averaging 5.5 points and 1.5 rebounds in front of the game.
This performance, and then want to impact the NBA, has basically no play.
But then back in Guangzhou, if Guo Shi emphasizes that if he teaches properly, in the CBA, he may still be able to make a name for himself.
After all, the technology and talent are there, and after the serious injury, the performance is still not inferior to Zhang Zhenlin's strongest single-season data in the NCAA.
Perhaps, this is called talent...
