On January 8, Beijing time, the 20th round of the 2021-22 CBA League regular season, Shenzhen defeated Shanxi 126-110, taking revenge on its opponents and ending a 4-game losing streak. In this campaign, Shenzhen 00 inner line Zhao Yiming performance is very eye-catching, he played 14 minutes and 08 seconds, two-point shots 9 shots 8 free throws 1 free throw 1 shot, 1 1 won 17 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block.
In the past three consecutive starts have done a good job, and today Qiu Biao adjusted Zhao Yiming to the rotation lineup and played the role of "bench bandit". Zhao Yiming can be said to have fulfilled his mission, and soon after his debut, he became the main attack point of Shenzhen. First, when there were more than 2 minutes left in the first quarter, Zhao Yiming received a breakthrough ball from Booker on the inside line, and hit it hard and also caused the opponent to foul, playing 2+1. Attack and defense conversion, Shanxi attack failed, Zhao Yiming continued to threaten, he saw the opportunity to cut in the middle of the road, received He Xining to break through the score, faced Yan Pengfei, whose height and weight were far from his own, held high to hit the ball, after scoring 5 points in a row, Zhao Yiming also helped Shenzhen to achieve a double-digit lead of 28-18.
Zhao Yiming led Shenzhen to play an offensive shockwave, and Shanxi had to call out a timeout to adjust. However, the suspension did not stop Zhao Yiming from continuing to cut points, Booker broke through the layup and deflected out, Zhao Yiming used the height advantage to get the rebound in the front court, completed the second attack, and Shenzhen continued to open up the point difference on the court. Probably everyone didn't expect that this young interior, who even looked a little clumsy, could be the X-factor that changed the situation on the field for a while. When he grabbed the rebound in the front court and attacked Ge Zhaobao, the Shenzhen stands instantly boiled, and Shen Zijie, who was recuperating, made an extremely exaggerated expression of surprise.
In the impression of most people, Zhao Yiming is still a young newcomer, and it is not known whether he can become famous in the future. Zhao Yiming was born in 2000, with a height of 2 meters 18 and a weight of 300 pounds, which is the standard traditional type of the fifth position. In the 2019-20 season, Zhao Yiming, who had just come of age, appeared on the professional court, making 23 appearances for Shenzhen, averaging 4.2 points and 2.9 rebounds per game. Last season, which should have been a year of continuous improvement, Zhao Yiming fell into a trough, playing 43 games for Shenzhen, and the average data dropped to 3.9 points and 2.4 rebounds per game.
It was also at that time that doubts about Zhao Yiming were rampant. Some people say that after Zhao Yiming was born as a famous general, he was far inferior to his father's skills. Zhao Yiming is the son of former Liaoning basketball star Zhao Renbin, old fans will never be unfamiliar with this name, Zhao Renbin's career peak was selected for the Chinese men's basketball training team in 1996, with the team to prepare for the Atlanta Olympic Games, but also in the CBA first year all-star team. Some people say that Zhao Yiming's fame is not as good as his girlfriend, his girlfriend is the Chinese women's basketball team inside the new star Li Yueru, with the title of "Chinese female shark", and now has grown into the top pillar of the Chinese women's basketball team, just this past summer, Li Yueru also helped the Chinese women's basketball team win the 5th place in the Tokyo Olympic Games.
These voices of doubt did not bring down the young Zhao Yiming, who in recent times had the opportunity to prove himself. Shenzhen interior core Shen Zijie was accidentally injured in the match against Shanxi on December 31, 2021, and was diagnosed with a torn elbow ligament after the game, requiring a long period of recuperation. In order to make up for the lack of interior height, Qiu Biao put Zhao Yiming into the starting lineup. In the past three games, Zhao Yiming averaged 17.3 minutes per game, and could get 9.3 points and 5.3 rebounds, reaching the highest level in his career in 3 years, which alleviated the pressure of Shenzhen's internal employment to a certain extent.
Today, Zhao Yiming used the best personal battle of the season to help Shenzhen out of the quagmire of consecutive defeats. In the second half of the game, Zhao Yiming brought another highlight moment. First, when there were 4 minutes and 19 seconds before the intermission, Zhao Yiming ambushed and received Booker's ball under the basket to easily "eat the cake". In the following round, zhao Yiliang, who played confidently, produced a new offensive weapon, and he was unguarded from a long distance on the oblique side, shooting a long two-point shot. In the whole game, Zhao Yiming only played 14 minutes but the efficiency was extremely high, two-point shots 9 shots 8, free throws 1 free throw 1 free throw 1 shot, contributed 17 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal for Shenzhen, Shenzhen ended a losing streak, and Zhao Yiming should be recorded in the credit book.
Young Zhao Yiming still has infinite possibilities, don't define him too early.
