Meng Xiang, who just spent his birthday, the absolute core of Cuba Huaqiao University, was selected by the Shenzhen men's basketball team with the seventh pick in the first round of the 2020 draft, becoming the first player in the history of Huaqiao University to enter the CBA. Meng Xiang, who is 1 meter 96 meters tall and weighs 95kg, is well known for a basketball variety show, as a front guard swing person who is good at playing offensive and defensive conversions, Meng Xiang did not cash in his talent as expected by the outside world after entering the CBA.
Last season, Meng Xiang only played 3 games for Shenzhen, averaging 2.7 points and 2.7 rebounds per game in 10 minutes of playing time, while Meng Xiang, who was able to continue to stay in the team this season, was still not favored by coach Qiu Biao, leaving the team in the second half of the first stage and being sent by Shenzhen to participate in the 3V3 game. So far this season, Meng Xiang has only been given 2 appearances, except for the game against Shougang on November 2, he only won a negligible 4 minutes, not a single point, October 31 and Sichuan, should have been the perfect time for Meng Xiang to prove himself, but unfortunately he did not seize this opportunity to win a proof for himself. Meng Xiang played 25 minutes in that game, during which he also got 14 shots, but unfortunately only hit 3 goals, only 8 of 2 three-pointers, and only 8 points and 7 rebounds in the game.
In fact, Shenzhen does not lack manpower in its own frontal position, in addition to the veteran Gu Quan, including He Xining of the Mesozoic Generation, Lu Pengyu and Wu Zihan, who has only been promoted to the first team this year, are mainly in the 2nd and 3rd positions, and these are much better than the fledgling Meng Xiang in terms of competition experience and physical fitness, so it is reasonable that the core main force of Huaqiao University is lost in Shenzhen this time.
Not surprisingly, after the expiration of his rookie contract this year, Meng Xiang should not continue to stay in the Shenzhen men's basketball team, if he can go to some young teams with slightly inferior strength, such as Tongxi, Fubon, Kendia, According to Meng Xiang's scoring ability in college (Cuba averaged 17.6 points and 6.7 rebounds per game), there should be a chance to become the main rotation of the team, but if it is to continue to stay in Shenzhen, a team that pursues the moment and gives young players a very low fault tolerance rate, it is no exaggeration to say that Meng Xiang is really wasting his golden career in vain.
As the third phase draws closer, unless it is a wave of injuries, Shenzhen should be unlikely to recall Meng Xiang back to the squad. As of now, Shenzhen temporarily ranked sixth in the league with a record of 19 wins and 9 losses, there is a great chance that it can enter the playoff stage, in this good situation, not to mention Meng Xiang, the other young players of the Shenzhen team who focus on training, Sun Haoqin and Peng Sen'ao, can be included in the team roster later is unknown. So if there is a chance, after the end of this year's season, Meng Xiang should still find another way for himself, looking for a CBA team that can give full play to his strengths, to cash in on his talent!
