On January 8, Beijing time, in the game between Nanjing and Fujian, Zhao Baiqing, a first-year student from Peking University, played a career masterpiece, facing the Fujian interior line, Zhao Baiqing shot 15 of 21, of which three points were 7 of 12, and slashed 40 points and 7 rebounds. Zhao Baiqing broke multiple historical records in one game, with 40 points in a single game being a new high for rookies in the history of the CBA Draft, while hitting 15 goals in a single game was also the first in the rookie season for CBA draft players. Zhao Baiqing directly beat himself into the height of the CBA draft's all-time rookie.
In contrast, Wang Shaojie and Zhu Mingzhen, the other two players selected from the CBA draft who have been selected for the Chinese men's basketball team, have their highest single-game scores in their rookie seasons of 19 points and 26 points, respectively. From this point of view, Zhao Baiqing's performance is more commendable. Of course, the Fujian team is currently ranked in the bottom position of the league, the overall strength of the team is not strong, and Zhao Baiqing's data content will be discounted.
In addition to the 40 points scored in this game, Zhao Baiqing's performance so far this season is actually qualified, as a rookie, averaging 12.6 points and 5.2 rebounds per game, shooting 60%, shooting 37% from three-point range, and scoring 20+ points in 4 times. As a comparison, Nanjing Tongxi's previous leader's list eye show, the same main No. 4 position Sun Siyao, the entire rookie season averaged 4.4 points and 3.1 rebounds per game, shooting only 43%, three-point shooting 14%, this season into the third year of his career Sun Siyao averaged 5 points and 2.7 rebounds per game, the same is the CBA list eye show, obviously Zhao Baiqing's performance is better.
In addition, Zhao Baiqing has previously scored 22 points and 7 rebounds in 9 of 13 games against the defending champion Guangdong Men's Basketball Team, which means that Zhao Baiqing is not afraid to play key games and will not shrink back against powerful opponents, which is the key to Zhao Baiqing's future expectations.
Zhao Baiqing's excellence, more reflects the success of the CBA draft channel today, has contributed a number of talents to the CBA League, of which only the college students, including Guo Kai, Wang Shaojie, Zhu Mingzhen, Zhang Ning, Zhu Songwei, He Siyu, Wang Ruize, Yuan Tangwen is already the main force of their respective teams, Zhao Baiqing also joined the ranks, the second round of show Wan Shengwei even followed the Guangdong team to win two CBA championships. In addition to domestic college players, Chen Yingjun and Lin Tingqian from Taiwan Province of Baodao are also malleable talents, both of whom are the top defenders of the CBA League at this stage, Chen Yingjun is the core of the Guangzhou team, and Lin Tingqian is averaging 2.8 steals per game, which is the local steal king.
CBA draft channel emerges more and more talents, for the development of Chinese basketball is a good thing, will also form an impact on the traditional youth training, each club's youth echelon of excellent players are no longer in a stable position, they will encounter competition from draft players when promoted to the first team, job opportunities are reduced, will make all players have a sense of urgency, I believe this is a good impact, let more young players more nervous, into a more motivated driving force.
