On February 15, Beijing time, according to basketball media person Jiangnan Cheng revealed that Zhang Chunjun, who played for the Shanghai men's basketball team last season, will sign a contract with the Shanxi men's basketball team during the window period, and this transfer to Shanxi, Zhang Chunjun can also "meet for the third time" with Yang Xuezeng, a former Bole mentor. I believe that everyone was impressed by Zhang Chunjun's initial performance in Sichuan and Yang Xuezeng's guidance and cooperation, but what is less known is that when he first debuted in his career, Zhang Chunjun once played for Zhejiang Chouzhou, and Yang Xuezeng also happened to be the manager of the Chouzhou men's basketball team at that time.
As a player with a height of only 1 meter 95, Zhang Chunjun has become the CBA's famous "Desperate Sanlang" with his full strength, and his most impressive thing is the defense and the fight for rebounds, at the beginning of his career debut in Zhejiang Chouzhou, Zhang Chunjun is the main forward of the team, 12-13 season, Zhang Chunjun, who was only 25 years old at the time, could win the best 8.3 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.8 steals of his career, but for various reasons, Zhang Chunjun was not able to stay in Chou Governor, and after the end of the 13-14 season, Zhang Chunjun, who was once unloved, went to the NBL to play for Shaanxi Xinda.
And coincided with the 15-16 season Yang Xuezeng was appointed as the manager of the Sichuan men's basketball team, in order to help this young team to enhance its competitiveness, he also remembered the old general Zhang Chunjun who was once in Chouzhou, and recalled him from the NBL back to the CBA, the two sides cooperated again, Zhang Chunjun also became an indispensable defensive core of this Sichuan army, especially in the finals, when everyone focused on the three foreign aid "Deng Ha Ha", few people paid attention to the existence of Zhang Chunjun. If it weren't for his defensive restraint of several of Liao's main scorers (Guo Allen and Hudson), coupled with his inexplicable low-post back-to-back singles, Sichuan really wouldn't have been able to win the final championship.
After playing for Sichuan for a year, Zhang Chunjun also chose to leave, during which he successively transferred to Shandong and Shanghai, but he failed to play the competitiveness in Sichuan before, this season Zhang Chunjun was directly reassigned to play the 3V3 game by the Shanghai men's basketball team with sufficient manpower, but Zhang Chunjun, who had not been in contact with 3-person basketball before, finally chose to return to 5-a-side basketball, this time he was able to go to Shanxi to join hands with his former mentor again, admittedly 34 years old, but according to Zhang Chunjun's veteran experience, It will definitely bring great help to this Shanxi. As of now, Shanxi is temporarily ranked ninth in the league with a record of 17 wins and 11 losses, and there is a high chance that it will be on the playoff stage this year, and after the team's main striker Ren Junwei moved to Shanghai this season, Zhang Chunjun's addition will be a big supplement at least on the defensive end.
Shanxi this year under the guidance of Yang Xuezeng, once again regained the most skilled "shelling" tactics, and the shelling team's defense is a major weakness, this season's Shanxi's defensive efficiency is only the 15th in the league 112.7, poor defense does not mean that the team does not pay attention to defense, at the critical moment must also have someone to see the main offensive arrow of the other side, and now it seems that Zhang Chunjun is the defensive puzzle that Yang Xuezeng needs.
