In this year's offseason, after a farce, the Xinjiang men's basketball team was ultimately unable to keep Zhou Qi, who chose to play in the NBL League in Australia as a "springboard" for his return to the NBA!
However, without Zhou Qi, the Xinjiang team is like no "main heart", in the first stage of the game, they only achieved a record of 3 wins and 10 losses, ranking to the fourth-to-last position in the league, only ahead of Fujian, Tongxi and Ningbo three teams, if this momentum continues, let alone impact the championship, I am afraid that even entering the playoffs is hanging.
In this difficult season, Abdul Shalamu is the team's most gratifying point, as a major injury did not take long to heal the player, Abu du after Zhou Qi left, took the initiative to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the team, although he was not able to lead the team to achieve good results, but the personal data is really not to say, in the average 36.8 minutes per game, can contribute 24.2 points, 8.1 rebounds and 3 assists data, all set a new career high, is the first stage of the league's scoring king!
In addition to Abudu, the Xinjiang team also has a player worthy of praise, he is the inside of the young player Azmat, who played a very good performance in the first season of Zhou Qi's departure, and the progress is also very fast! The 2021-22 season is the second season of Azmat's career, he can get 11.1 points and 3.8 rebounds in an average of 29.5 minutes per game, shooting 61% from the field, and it should be known that Azmat is an inside player who is accustomed to ending offense with shooting, and it is quite good to maintain such a shooting rate! More importantly, Azmat is only 19 years old this year, which is a very young player and has a lot of room for improvement in the future.
Azmaty's playing style is different from many domestic interior lines, he is more accustomed to using mid-range shots and throws to score, coupled with his body, how to look a bit like the original Grizzlies' interior Line Randolph. In the history of the Chinese men's basketball team, Azmeti's playing style is also similar to That of Wang Zhizhi, both of whom are inside players with certain skills and are good at mid-range shooting. In addition, Azmaty averaged only 3.9 points per game last season, while this season's average of points per game has risen to 11.1 points per game, and if he can grow at this rate, the 19-year-old will have unlimited expectations in the future!
