He became famous at a young age, and at the age of 8, he was able to use many basketball moves freely, and was known as a basketball prodigy.
He was over 2 meters tall when he was 16 years old! He has long received the attention of many CBA teams, and even several schools in the United States have a strong interest in him, and they do not hesitate to offer generous conditions to invite him to join.
Such a good seedling, the Guangdong team is also very cherished.
Later, the player became a member of the Guangdong team.
This person's name was Zhao Tianyi.
In 2015, he was promoted to the Guangdong first team. Since then, he has played in the CBA. In the 2015-16 season, he played 5 games for Guangdong, averaging 9.8 minutes per game, averaging 2.8 shots per game, hitting 2 goals, and scoring 4 points, 1 board and 0.6 steals.
He did not get many opportunities in the Guangdong team, and in September 2017 he left the Guangdong team and transferred to zhejiang Guangsha team.
Time flew by, and Zhao Tianyi had played 7 seasons in the CBA and became a veteran. But now he has long lost the aura of "basketball genius" and has become a very ordinary role player.
He has played for Tongxi this season. He does not have a strong presence in the league, playing the role of a blue-collar interior in the team, promoting to a high position to do blocking and dismantling cover for his teammates, and then going down or bouncing to the outside line to prepare for the defender's pass and make a plan.
Zhao Tianyi is 2 meters 05 tall, playing the inside line of his height does not occupy any advantage, after blocking and dismantling, encountering the opponent's big center in the three-second zone to defend, he can not very well end the ball.
He has outside shooting ability, but doesn't shoot much, and so far this season he has shot 14 three-pointers and hit six goals.
He's aggressive and the defensive end, but he struggles to defend against tall or athletic opponents.
His footsteps are not fast, it is easy to be broken by outside opponents, and his three-point defense effect is average.
Zhao Tianyi played with the Xi team and lost less. At present, the Tongxi team has only achieved a record of 1 win and 23 losses, ranking first in the league.
Although the overall strength of the team is not strong, this is an opportunity for Zhao Tianyi. Here he got more playing time and playing opportunities. In the new season, he averaged 19.8 minutes per game, had 5.4 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1 steal, shooting 50% from the field. Scoring, rebounding, assists and stats are career highs.
