Does the foreign player really outperform the local players in terms of scoring? Not necessarily, no, Abdul Shalamu and Hu Jinqiu did a miracle and reached the top three of the CBA scoring list. The first was strongly won by The Shanxi point guard Field, but his average score per game is only 3.3 points more than that of the second-placed Abdul Shalamu, and the gap can be said to be negligible. It seems that local players have really ushered in an outbreak year. But is that all they can be? Let's take a look at it with the basketball brother!
Field was given a new lease of life at Shanxi
First, let's take a look at the situation of The Shanxi team's small foreign aid Field. Field, born on March 29, 1995 in Detroit, Michigan, USA, is a 1.75-meter tall, 80-kilogram point guard who currently plays for the Shanxi team. Fans familiar with him should know that this year is his fourth season in the CBA League, and looking back on the past four years, he has played for the four teams in Xinjiang, Guangsha and Shanxi. But if you want to talk about his peak period, it is undoubtedly in the Shanxi team, especially after Yang Xuezeng took charge of the Shanxi team, he not only successfully activated the four big Kongs of Ge Shaobao, Yan Pengfei, Yuan Shuai and Xing Zhiqiang, but also field's progress is not small.
Field has reached the pinnacle
You know, in terms of scoring efficiency, he undoubtedly has a qualitative change compared to last season. Last season, he averaged 28 minutes per game, but he only contributed to the Guangsha team's record of averaging 14.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 1.7 steals per game. But in the Shanxi team, his overall performance has a qualitative change, although his average playing time per game has increased by 5 minutes, but he has averaged 25.4 points, 7.2 rebounds, 10.8 assists and 2.7 steals per game for The Shanxi team. In terms of scoring efficiency, he has obviously improved by a large margin, and although his performance is still far from the top foreign aid, this gap is undoubtedly narrowing further.
Abdul Salam has switched to playing as a big striker
Secondly, let's take a look at the situation of Abdul Salam, born on May 20, 1996 in Altay, Xinjiang, with a height of 2.03 meters and a weight of 98 kg, who plays as a big forward and currently plays for the Xinjiang team. But see here, there may be fans to send out such a meaning, basketball brother, are you not mistaken? Didn't Abdul Shalam play as a small striker? How did you become a big forward here? But what the basketball brother wants to say is that you are not mistaken, now Abdul Shalamu really plays the big forward position, mainly because after Zhou Qi flew alone, the inner line of the Xinjiang team has not yet been able to shoulder the heavy responsibility, as for the young general in the team? They're also a lot worse!
Abdul Salam is critical to Xinjiang
Even after the return of the big foreign assistant Mertree, he still did not return to the small forward position, mainly because it was difficult for Moldy alone to help the Xinjiang team establish a sufficient advantage on the inside line. And more often, Adi Jiang needs him and Mortree to form a twin-tower formation so that Xinjiang's interior defense will not be too much of a problem. As for their outside offensive, after their inner line is assured of peace of mind, Adi Jiang can focus on their offensive tactics. And this is precisely the main reason why they were able to turn over in the second stage, but Abdul Salam's current performance has not yet reached its peak, and he still has a lot of room for improvement!
Hu Jinqiu has shouldered a heavy responsibility
Finally, let's take a look at the situation of Hu Jinqiu, who was born on September 24, 1997 in Korla, Xinjiang, China, is 2.11 meters tall and weighs 111 kilograms, plays as a center forward, and currently plays for Guangsha. Now that he has played for Guangsha's 7th season, he is definitely the old man of Guangsha in terms of qualifications. Although it is said that he rose in the era of Li Chunjiang, his peak period was after Wang Bo took charge of the Shuaiyin of the Guangsha team. He undoubtedly got more playing opportunities and ball rights here in Wang Bo, and the same is true of the other two guangsha sanshao. Because Wang Bo needs them to help the team build up enough advantages on the field, only in this way can he train with confidence!
Hu Jinqiu's promotion is also not small
And Hu Jinqiu, as the main center of the team, he not only shoulders the heavy responsibility of the Guangsha team's internal attack and defense, but also shoulders the team's scoring mission more often. But through his performance in the current season, it is not difficult to find that he has also made a lot of progress, especially under the premise that his average playing time per game has dropped by 3.4 minutes, he still bombed the Guangsha team with an average of 22.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.1 dunks per game, and he has made a breakthrough in terms of scoring efficiency! But in terms of his performance in the game, this is still not his peak, because he also has a lot of room to improve, especially his three-point shots and free throws are the focus of improvement!
The CBA League's moment of rebound is here
The above are the top three players on the scoring list, the first is Shanxi's small foreign aid Field, the second is Xinjiang's big forward Abdul Shalamu, and the third is Guangsha's center Hu Jinqiu. But it is precisely because of the listing of Abdul Salam and Hu Jinqiu that the basketball brother saw the precursor of the outbreak of local players, and it seems that the CBA league has indeed reached a critical moment of bottoming out! What do you think about that?
