On December 4, Beijing time, Beijing Shougang player Jeremy Lin talked about Zeng Fanbo, a Chinese player who went to the United States for further study, gave his own suggestions and encouragement, and gave advice based on his own experience!
Jeremy Lin said: "A yellow-skinned person going to the United States to play ball will not be so smooth, because everyone will look down on you, do not respect you, and get very few opportunities." Sometimes I even wonder if I can be a good player. If it is not much different from other players, you will not get a lot of opportunities, you must be a lot higher than other players to be valued and get more opportunities. Hopefully, Zeng Fanbo can perform better and better. ”
We understand that Jeremy Lin basically set off the "Lin Madness" in New York, as a failed draft, and as a high-achieving student at Harvard University, he also worked hard for a long time to get the opportunity! Early in his career, he played in both the Warriors and rockets, and spent most of his time on the bench and in the development league. He has told many cases of discrimination against himself, such as when he was in the Warriors, most of his teammates thought he was not a qualified NBA player!
The NBA is the highest level of basketball league after all, and to play here you must be talented enough and work hard enough, because there are so many places in the league, and if you go, it means that someone is leaving! Now Zeng Fanbo has not knocked on the door of the NBA, he is taking a different path from Yao Ming, Jeremy Lin, Yi Jianlian and even Zhou Qi, choosing to develop the league to give up college basketball is a gamble!
He currently plays 5 games for the Ignition Team, averaging about 10 minutes per game, and can only get 2 points, 1.4 rebounds and 0.8 blocks, and his shooting rate is only 27%, which is very ugly! This data contains three aspects, one is not valued, the coach does not give playing time, teammates are not willing to give him a pass, even if the choice of shots is difficult to be empty!
Secondly, the confrontation ability is insufficient, and it has not yet adapted to the game here, although there is height, but there is no strength to play the inside line, and it is difficult to open up the space by playing the third position. Then there is the susceptibility to injury. The reality is very cruel, at present he has not gained the trust of the coach, give time to play can play the current level can not reach this level, the reality is still to focus on the team training, strive to conquer teammates and coaches by hard work and progress, and then get a stable playing time, otherwise if this situation continues, the only thing waiting for him is to return to his home country to play CBA!
We don't need to be too pessimistic, Xiao Zeng's talent is still good, although the Americans are arrogant, they respect the strong, just like Yao Ming at that time, if they really have strength, then subdue them!
