The Chinese women's basketball team beat the Olympic bronze medallist France by 33 points, Huang Sijing lifted the gun to the horse, cut 30 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, and really started with three points like Curry, and won the empty frame to win the Rand.
In these three World Cup qualifiers in Belgrade, Huang Sijing averaged 16.3 points, 8.3 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game, and was elected the MVP of the division. Born in 1996, Huang Sijing is 192 cm tall and is the champion of the 2014 Asian Youth Championship, the champion of the National Games for Guangdong in 2017, the champion of the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta, and the overall champion of WCBA Guangdong in 18-19, and the two consecutive championships of the Inner Mongolia women's basketball team.
Not only that, Huang Sijing also won the Finals MVP in the WCBA in the 19-20 season, averaging 17 points and 9.5 rebounds per game. However, at the Tokyo Olympics, she did not perform so well, and after the setback, she only played 15.8 minutes per game in the WCBA last season, but she was able to average 10.6 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.1 steals. She even shot 48.2 percent from three-point range and made 1.7 three-pointers per game.
Huang Sijing in the playoffs is even more terrifying, with 55.6% three-point shooting rate of 2.5 per game, no wonder she is Durant.
In the Chinese women's basketball game, the tall Huang Sijing has a great influence on both ends of the attack and defense, in fact, at the beginning she was a bit like the early Paul George, more focused on defense. As she raises her three-point grasp to a higher level, she plays heavier on the offensive end, with one move and one style like an all-round front like Kevin Durant.
This is also a major trend in world basketball in the past decade or so, and the all-round tall front line has an increasing impact on the game. The NBA is a basketball bellwether, since Kobe Bryant in 2010 and Dirk Nowitzki in 2011, the MVP of the Finals has been divided by the front for 10 consecutive years, and when LeBron James and Kevin Durant are on break, Giannis Antetokounmpo is shining again.
Back to the main topic, the Chinese women's basketball team seems to have its own all-round front, Huang Sijing is on the court like a fish, so what about the Chinese men's basketball team? The 2021 training roster can play the 3-4 position of the front line, such as Guangdong Zhou Peng, Liaoning Zhang Zhenlin, Xinjiang Abdul Salam, Guangzhou Zhu Mingzhen, Beijing Zeng Fanbo and Zhai Xiaochuan.
Since serving as the captain of the men's basketball team at the 2015 Changsha Asian Championship, Zhou Peng has averaged more than 14 points per game in the CBA for four consecutive years, and in the 15th season of his career, he was also the best defensive player in the league. Zhou Peng had won the youth league scoring king before his debut, and after his debut, he was arranged by Li Chunjiang as a defensive top soldier, and he was the closest chinese men's basketball team to the all-round warrior in the past few years.
It's just a pity that Zhou Peng's attack is far from being able to mature as defense so quickly, and his personal attack and defense are the most balanced, and the 2019 World Cup that the national team needs him the most, but he regrettably missed it because of injuries. Instead of Zhou Peng carrying the front line is Zhai Xiaochuan, but although he has averaged at least 14 points per game in the CBA for 4 consecutive years, he can not hide the weak ring of the active ball attack, and on the defensive end he is far from being as good as Zhou Peng.
Zhai Xiaochuan is still making progress in the past two years, but it is difficult to have greater changes.
In fact, after the World Cup, when Zhai Xiaochuan entered the second half of his career, his offensive skills were greatly enhanced, especially in the key round, he dared to stand up, and he almost dominated the reversal in the final moments of the third match of the Beijing-Guangdong series. In the World Cup, he can only contribute 5.2 points per game, although the shooting rate is as high as 63.2%, but only 3 three-point shots in 5 games, and none of them hit, on the offensive end he can not achieve the strategic purpose of making the lineup combination and offensive style three-dimensional.
Zhou Peng and Zhai Xiaochuan are veterans who have been playing for more than 10 years, and their style of play will not change dramatically, just like they can't expect Zhou Peng's free throw shooting rate to suddenly soar to 90%, nor can they expect Zhai Xiaochuan to become a dry middle-distance killer after taking cover.
As a result, the expectations of the Chinese men's basketball team for the front line always fall on the younger generation, but it is a pity that Zhai Xiaochuan is the only front line in the main rotation under Li Nan's guidance in 2019, and Abdul Shalamu, Ren Junfei, and Koran Baike only played a total of 45 minutes in 8 appearances.
In 2019, Abdul Shalamu won the Asian Games the previous year and averaged an almost perfect season of 18.1 points, 7.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game. At that time, the 23-year-old Ah bu showed his offensive talent in the CBA, but in the eyes of Li Nan's guidance, it was full of shortcomings, the height of 203CM compatible with the No. 4 rebounding ability was not strong enough, compatible with the No. 3 position to handle the ball is not good enough, so he had a hard time.
After returning from a serious injury, the 25-year-old Ah Bu continued to move forward.
Although he lost his athletic ability and the style of the ball was no longer as flowing as in the past, his clever brain still occupied the high ground, setting a career high of 22.1 points, 7 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 0.9 blocks per game. Compared with before the injury, on the one hand, the team structure and individual role have changed, on the other hand, he is also actively seeking to change, adding a lot of rounds to handle the ball, looking for a lot of misalignment.
In fact, A bu has not relied entirely on athleticism all along, but originally the defense still had the opportunity to rise to the elite level, and now it seems that it will take longer to accumulate after the major injury. What really should be his killer is his ability to handle offensive opportunities, if he can have a stable arc top carding skill, it will also be an indispensable front for the national team in the future.
CBA at the moment the hottest is still Liaoning Grand Duke Zhang Zhenlin, 205CM, 102KG, debuted to play a considerable amount of time in the No. 4 position, and now the main attack on the No. 3 position, rookie average of 14.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.5 assists 1.2 steals per game, three-point shooting rate of 38.5%, physical fitness to win the dunk king, which is probably the most ideal all-round front template for the Chinese men's basketball team at present.
But Zhang Zhenlin once performed very badly in the national team, the lack of experience in the defensive end was targeted, the offensive end was afraid of hands and feet, and the offensive stability of the ball needed to be improved. This season, he was given more opportunities to handle the ball by Yang Ming's guidance, but he averaged 1.9 assists per game but 2.1 turnovers, which he needed to face.
However, Zhang Zhenlin's upward momentum is obvious, and he has a lot of staying power.
Plus-minus +12.7, high in the league 3rd, Zhang Zhenlin in the league record of the liaoning team, the field performance is more and more comfortable, the influence is getting stronger, the all-round skill and can play multiple positions characteristics make him a team of gold oil, it seems that all the lineups can match him. In the strong dialogue, Liaoning, which used to be targeted by the combination of internal and external, now has such an X factor.
That's what it's all-around, and their presence allows the team to switch freely between two extremes, from five to three insides. Zhang Zhenlin has just been on the road, he will also become the third height in the same position like Zhou Peng in the same position, and to continue to move forward, it is necessary to improve the ability to seize opportunities, excellent body to become smarter at the defensive end, and assist in defense sweeping to zhou Peng, which is the most ideal future.
Also in the national team squad before entering the professional league, Zeng Fanbo, who is now playing in the NBA's G League, is also a talented striker. He is said to be approaching 211cm tall, while his playing style is swinging in the 3-4 position, which is the real Durant style, and he was recently invited to the shooting session of the NBA All-Star Game.
Beijing Shougang's future forward reserves are really good, and now there are Zhai Xiaochuan and Raymond in the team who are playing in the year, and the younger Fan Yiming has actually shown talent. If Zeng Fanbo fails to challenge the NBA in the future and returns to Shougang, in a few years, this team will become one of the best teams in the CBA front.
At present, Zeng Fanbo may be more versatile than Zhang Zhenlin in terms of playing style.
In addition to being able to shoot three points, the young striker can break through with the ball, and has an outstanding ability to assist in the blocking, but at the National Games, Tang Jie suffered a lot of losses. Xiao Zeng's current physical strength and professional experience are of course not as good as Zhang Zhenlin's, but the style of play is indeed more extensive than Jin Jin, and he has the best talent in the current Chinese men's basketball team, but I don't know if there will be an NBA team willing to focus on cultivating him in his current state.
In fact, in addition to these star fronts, there are other categories in the league, such as Gu Quan, Lu Wenbo, Jiang Yuxing, Tang Caiyu, Chen Linjian, etc. in the No. 3 position, Zhu Xuhang, Shi Deshuai, Ren Junfei, etc. on the No. 4 position, they are very distinctive, but usually do not make cameo appearances in multiple positions, and Jiang Yuxing's various positions have changed back and forth this season, which is very unexpected.
There are also two outstanding 3D forwards this season, Guangzhou second-year student Zhu Mingzhen not only averaged 12.7 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game, but also shot 1.9 three-pointers per game with a three-point shooting rate of 40.3%, and he was often moved to the No. 4 position even in Guangzhou's five-small lineup. From the Peking University draft to the CBA, Zhu Mingzhen completed the triple jump to the national team in a year, and now he continues to break the rules and regulations set by fans.
Guangsha's Zhu Junlong has also improved a lot this year, averaging 10 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.8 blocks per game, and his three-point shooting rate is as high as 43.8%. He is 3 years younger than Zhu Mingzhen and has reached 201cm tall, which has a great chance of evolving from a 3D player to an all-round front.
After the era of Yao Mingyi Jianlian and others passed, the internal power of the Chinese men's basketball team has been greatly reduced, and the internal lines of the new era, such as Zhou Qi, Shen Zijie, Hu Jinqiu and others, are strong in mobile ability, but do not take the internal attack of the position as the primary weapon. The trend of world basketball changes, the national team system under Du guidance needs, and at present, Chinese basketball is waiting for the emergence of the all-round front.
The women's basketball team only waits for the September World Cup to test Huang Sijing, and the "Durant" of the men's basketball team does not know how long it will take?
