On the evening of January 9, Shanghai against Ningbo, during the game, Shanghai rookie Li Tianrong was injured and left the field, when Li Tianrong was attacking with the ball, but suddenly encountered an injury without confrontation, waist problems, and then the referee blew a suspension of the game, Li Tianrong walked back to the bench with the help of his teammates. When walking back to the bench, Li Tianrong covered his waist with his hands, and his expression was very painful, obviously very painful. Li Tianrong withdrew from the game due to injury, and Li Tianrong had 5 points, 3 assists and 1 rebound before leaving the game. The final result of the match was a big victory over Ningbo by Shanghai, with a score of 119-93.
Li Tianrong's injury is a pity, so far this season, he is not only the hope star of the Shanghai men's basketball team, but also makes the Chinese basketball world look more promising, as a rookie can average 10.9 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game, the main guard shooting rate reached 57%, and the three-point shooting rate reached 41.7%. Li Tianrong's offensive efficiency stems from his own style of play, his physical quality is explosive, often staged a good play of flying dunks, is Li Chunjiang's guidance and setting of the chaotic battle master role, with excellent athletic quality to become a spoiler. In addition, due to his explosive physical fitness, Li Tianrong has a nickname called "domestic Wei Shao".
As a rookie player who can score in double figures, coupled with the current Shanghai men's basketball record in the top five of the standings, Li Tianrong has the opportunity to compete for the best rookie award of the season, and his personal performance and team performance are competitive.
It is worth mentioning that Li Tianrong was born in 2000 and is now 21 years old, which is not young. But Li Tianrong did not play the CBA late because of personal ability problems, but li Tianrong from the Beijing Shougang Youth Academy's Eagle Program, who had been to the NBA Academy in Australia to train and played for a year in the New Zealand Saboteurs team of the Australian NBL League. After several years of overseas training, Li Tianrong chose to return to China because of the epidemic, chose to join the Shanghai Sharks, and led the Shanghai youth team to win the national championship, and was promoted to a team this season.
In the system setting of the Shanghai men's basketball team at this stage, Li Tianrong and Guo Haowen of the same age are the future of the team, two 21-year-old young defenders with outstanding talent, and hope to become the future façade core of the Shanghai men's basketball team. But considering that Guo Haowen has always had the dream of impacting the NBA in his personal heart, he had already been to the United States for special training in the offseason, and he wanted to participate in the NBA draft at that time, and finally quit due to bad market conditions. In 2022, Guo Haowen, who is about to turn 22, will automatically run, this time is Guo Haowen's last chance to enter the NBA through the draft, presumably he will seize the opportunity. This means that as long as Li Tianrong maintains growth, he will most likely become the future backcourt core of the Shanghai team. I hope that this injury will not affect Li Tianrong's future development, and look forward to the future performance of this rising star!
