There is a saying in the NBA that "no one has seen Rose at its peak"! Indeed, after getting the MVP at the age of 22, when he thought that the era of Ross was coming, successive injuries found him, and after experiencing several major injuries, Rose's state and strength have not been as good as before, and now he is no longer the original Rose! In the CBA, there is a player whose experience is very similar to that of rose at the beginning, he is Ding Yanyuhang, the two-time regular season MVP winner of the CBA!
In the 2016-17 season, Ding Yanyuhang played 39 games for Shandong, averaging 24.2 points and 5.2 rebounds per game, and successfully won the first regular season MVP of his career. In the 2017-18 season, Xiaoding's performance improved even more, averaging 26 points, 5.3 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game, and successfully won the regular season MVP award! However, it was also when the fans thought that the era of Ding Yanyu hang came, and successive injuries also found Ding Yanyuhang, and it was also a series of major injuries that made Xiao Ding have not played a game for more than three years.
Finally, the arrival of the 2021-22 season began Xiao Ding ushered in a comeback, back to his beloved basketball stage, however, this time the reunion only lasted 10 games, according to the CBA official announcement of the latest injury situation, Ding Yanyuhang will miss 6 weeks of games because of knee injuries, most likely missed the second stage of the game. It is the knee joint, and it is a long absence, such repeated injuries, for the player's psychology is also a big test, will definitely think about whether they can continue to walk?
Perhaps, for Ding Yanyuhang, if he wants to continue to stay on the court now, he must choose to transform, choose to change his playing style, and choose to admit his fate, just like the original Rose, he can't go back to his former self, can't be the boss of the team, and chooses to re-establish himself in another identity and low position. Now Ding Yanyuhang wants to regain the state when he took the MVP, it is really difficult to become the boss of a team again, protecting the body, allowing himself to stay on the court to play more games is the best choice, recognize the reality, re-find their own positioning, blindly want to return to the peak may not be a good thing. Ma Jian has publicly stated that he believes that Ding Yanyuhang's career should be over, in fact, this sentence is not completely unreasonable, and he was injured again after just ten games of his comeback, which inevitably does not let the outside world worry about his career again.
