As a young army that has sprung up in the league in recent years, the Zhejiang Chouzhou men's basketball team also ushered in the first semi-final in team history last season, if it were not for the powerful Liaoning basket, they would indeed have a good chance to reach the stage of the finals in one fell swoop. In order to continue to cultivate young people this season, the coaching staff has made a bold move, so that Wu Qian, who just won the first MVP trophy of his career last season, occasionally served as a substitute, and directly promoted Wang Yibo, who was previously the sixth person, to the start, and this move really made this 22-year-old boy usher in a big storm this season.
In fact, in this season's opener and Fujian, Wang Yibo scored 23 points and 7 assists as a starter, and there were many games in the first stage that delivered 20+ points. Up to now, in the 18 games that Wang Yibo has played for the team, in the case of the surge in playing time to 30.9 minutes, he has also handed over a career-best all-round data of 13.5 points, 2.8 rebounds, 7.6 assists and 1.3 steals, and the three shooting rates are as high as 50.6%, 44.4% and 86.4%, respectively, almost making himself among the 180 clubs. Compared with Wu Qian, who has freed up his starting position, he has averaged only 16.6 points and 6.6 assists per game this season, and his three-point shooting rate is only 33.3%, wang Yibo is more like the true core of Chouzhou's backcourt.
Since the coach of the Chouzhou Second Team, Liu Weiwei, took over the Chouzhou First Team in 19 years, he also began to cultivate young players for the team in a large area, including Wu Qian, Lu Wenbo, and Cheng Shuaipeng, who have ushered in corresponding outbreaks in these seasons, and this year, in order to let Wang Yibo, a young general, get more opportunities to show, there is such a great courage for Wu to go to the bench, in addition to Liu Weiwei, it is estimated that only Guangdong coach Du Feng has done it.
After refusing to renew the contract with Little Wailandsberg in the offseason, Chouzhou instead gave the priority renewal right to Rakosevic, who joined the CBA for the first time last season, after all, the team's internal line has always been a big problem, so it is understandable to choose to buy an insurance for the restricted area, less than Lanzberg, who averaged nearly 30+ points per game, domestic players also got a lot of opportunities to play, and Wang Yibo, who has been in the main rotation position last season, also relies on his own calm ball control and accurate projection. Won the full trust of the coaching staff. The 17-18 season just entered the first team playing time of only 4.1 minutes of young players, these years have been favored by Liu Weiwei, after all, when he was in the second team, he was his proud protégé, well aware of his playing characteristics, this time to meet again in the first team, Liu Weiwei also completely activated the potential hidden in his body.
As of now, Chouzhou with a record of 15 wins and 3 losses temporarily ranked second in the league, proving that they were able to reach the semi-finals last season is not a fluke, the main team basketball, this season a total of 7 players scored in double figures, and the highest score is only Wu Qian's average of 16.6 points per game, without Lanzberg, the "ball bully", but let Chouzhou this group of domestic players find their correct positioning in the team lineup.
It is naturally a good thing to be able to train Wang Yibo this season, but here is still to give Chouzhou fans a preventive shot in advance, because the team's small foreign aid Eric Green has now arrived in China in isolation, and it is no accident that he should catch up with the second stage of the team's game, and he is not good at organizational tandem, Wang Yibo also has to be prepared to be replaced by him in the core position of the backcourt!
