With Jones's strong three-point miss, Tianjin finally defeated Jilin with 101-99, 2 points, and won another victory. In this campaign, Lin Tingqian cut 27 points and 6 assists, and Burton and Taylor scored 16 points and 22 points respectively. However, the most efficient of the Tianjin team is someone else, this battle Zhang Zhaoxu played 24 minutes, 2 shots, cut 5 points and 11 boards, but his efficiency value was the highest in the whole game - not one.
Speaking of Zhang Zhaoxu, perhaps most people are still stuck in the tall man who worked under Deng Huade ten years ago. However, in the blink of an eye, Zhang Zhaoxu, who was still a young man at the time, has now entered the twilight of his career. After signing a top salary contract with Tianjin last summer (6 million), Zhang Zhaoxu was actually questioned.
As a veteran of the CBA and not outstanding personally, Zhang Zhaoxu got the first high salary in the whole team, which is indeed a big blow for the young players of the Tianjin team. At the beginning of this season, Zhang Zhaoxu was also questioned, believing that he averaged 4.7 points per game, not worthy of a 6 million maximum salary contract, which was purely a high salary and low energy.
However, from the perspective of this battle, Zhang Zhaoxu's value is still reflected. In the whole game, although he only had 2 shots, he hit all of them, did not waste any shots, and got 5 points and 11 boards. Moreover, compared to the weakness of the offensive end, Zhang Zhaoxu's real value lies in the defensive end, and he can pose a huge threat in the penalty area with his height and long arms.
This can be seen from the efficiency value of the whole game. In the first game, when Zhang Zhaoxu was on the field, Tianjin team won by 18 points, which was the first of the team. And Lin Tingqian, who scored 27 points in the whole game, only had a net win score of +3, foreign aid Burton +11, and Taylor was 0, in terms of personal efficiency, all three of them were inferior to Zhang Zhaoxu. From this point of view, Zhang Zhaoxu is indeed worthy of the first high salary of the whole team.
