Before 2021, the Chinese basketball world has not had players playing in overseas leagues for a long time, but in 2021, the players who played overseas in the Chinese basketball world have suddenly achieved a blowout.
Nowadays, there are five players in the Chinese basketball world, Zhou Qi, Liu Chuanxing, Li Hongquan, Zeng Fanbo and Wang Quanze, who play in overseas leagues, of which Zhou Qi, Liu Chuanxing and Li Hongquan all play in the Australian NBL League, Wang Quanze plays in the NCAA in the United States, Zeng Fanbo plays in the American G League, and in 2021, Zeng Fanbo has also announced that he will participate in the NBA draft this year.
However, in the G League on January 8, in the Match between ignition and Captains, Zeng Fanbo's performance was relatively sluggish. Zeng Fanbo started and played for 22 minutes, it should be said that the head coach is still very opportunistic, but the whole game Zeng Fanbo is relatively sluggish, he shot 4 shots 1, of which 2 of the three-point shots were lost, only 2 points, 5 rebounds and 1 block. In the case of playing 22 minutes in the starting game, Zeng Fanbo only contributed a pitiful 2 points, which made many Chinese people a little disappointed.
On the Internet, there are even fans who believe that Zeng Fanbo played in the G League in general, and in the NBA League, which is high in the competition of N intensity, Zeng Fanbo simply could not have a place, and many Chinese people suggested that Zeng Fanbo pack up the bag early and return to the country to play the CBA. So Zeng Fanbo really impacted the NBA no drama, and he didn't have the ability to play in the NBA at all?
In fact, many domestic fans are more eager to make quick gains, in the United States Zeng Fanbo can get the appreciation of the coach, there are foreigners in the training camp to help, which proves that Zeng Fanbo has a certain strength. Fans should not forget that Zeng Fanbo still has 2 days to turn 19 years old, and many children have just entered the university at this age, but Zeng Fanbo has already broken through in the United States, which is enough to be admired.
Let's look at Zeng Fanbo's static talent, just 19 years old his height has reached 211cm, can be freely switched between the 4th and 5th positions, what is more rare is that Zeng Fanbo's ball-holding attack is also very strong, whether it is the outside three points or the inside line has a certain degree of certainty, now Zeng Fanbo only needs to increase the physical confrontation, exercise the strength of the body, the future in the NBA to play a rotation is still possible.
Don't look at the current Japanese men's basketball team Yuta Watanabe in the Raptors team to establish a foothold, into the team's rotation lineup, but even his parents engaged in basketball career at the beginning are not optimistic about Watanabe to break into the NBA, but he still got a contract with the Grizzlies at the age of 24, stayed in the Grizzlies for two seasons, Watanabe did not get a contract extension, he went to the Raptors trial, the first only took the training camp contract, but still conquered the team management through performance, got a two-way contract.
Yuta Watanabe is 28 years old this year, and Zeng Fanbo is less than 19 years old, and our domestic fans should give strong support, rather than always talking nonsense on the Internet. I believe that many fans have already felt that Zhou Qi and Liu Chuanxing have made great progress in the Australian NBL League, especially Liu Chuanxing, even if he stays in the NBL League and trains with the team, he will have a lot of improvement.
Because the salary of the domestic CBA league is very high, many domestic players are satisfied with the status quo, unwilling and dare not go out to overseas leagues to train, so for Zhou Qi, Liu Chuanxing, Zeng Fanbo, Li Hongquan and other players, we should encourage more, these players will definitely be the big killer of the Chinese men's basketball team in the future after gaining a firm foothold in overseas leagues.
