A few hours later, the 21-22 CBA season will start, another year of new seasons, another year of newcomers, the young man Mo Qian peak snow, and since the summit to watch the mountains and rivers.
Focus on the birth of super newcomers in the new season, first understand the composition of new people in the CBA League. Different from the NBA, most of the CBA players are still from the youth training of their own teams in various clubs, and the newcomers are Zhejiang Yu Jiahao, Beikong Liao Sanning, Shenzhen Sun Haoqin and so on. The second category comes from the draft, which has increasingly become a channel for players to enter the professional arena as league reforms deepen.
The advantage of the draft is that the draft is a hundred rivers, so there are several sub-categories in the middle, one is cuba players, the new season has Fujian Li Yiyang, Tongxi Zhao Baiqing, Shanxi Li Zhanglin, etc.; the second is the NCAA players who returned from the United States, this year's representative is Fujian Wang Yixiong; the third is the NBL player, representing the 99-level sanjie of Henan credit shop old wine, Jiangsu Cui Xiaolong, Shanxi Jia Hao, Qingdao Lv Junhu; in fact, there is the fourth kind, that is, the players recommended by the club's youth training to enter the draft, but many of these have been selected by the team.
Newcomer report, from these several categories to understand this year's newcomers, according to their personal strength, potential and the situation of the team, the new season's data performance will certainly be very different from the expectations, affecting the individual performance is not only ability, there are many factors.
Youth training: Yu Jiahao is a pillar of power, Liao Sanning is favored by Marbury
Yu Jiahao (Zhejiang)
Basic information: Birthday 2003-3-18, height 221CM, weight 130KG, arm span 226CM, jump-in-place height 338CM, running touch height 352CM
Event experience: National Games U19 averaged 24.4 points, 12.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.5 steals, 3.5 blocks, shooting 69.8%; 21 points, 18 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks in the third place
Features: Heavy duty tower
Advantages: As the son of the famous Yu Leping, Yu Jiahao can be described as the second generation of stars in Zhejiang Province, who has trained in Sierra Canyon High School, and has competed in a large number of events such as the Spark Cup, Youth League, and National Games after returning to China last year. Although he is only 18 years old, he is very strong, solid in the basic skills of the low position, has a hand distance, has a stable free throw, has a strong ability to transfer the ball and read the defense, has good defensive habits, will not easily foul, and has a sense of assisting defense.
Yu Jiahao has the rare star-like treatment of this year's newcomers, and has long been tacitly recognized as a new weapon for Zhejiang against Liaoyue, and is the hottest newcomer. To win the title of the best newcomer, it is conservatively estimated that he will average 13+9+1.5 blocks per game, don't think this data is easy, Zhang Dayu has never reached this height in a single season of his career, and Ding Jinhui, who won the best newcomer for Zhejiang, averaged 14.6 points, 6 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.1 steals and 0.7 blocks per game in the 06-07 season.
Disadvantages: The defensive end is not fast due to the size of the body, the experience of anti-block demolition and large defense and small defense needs to be accumulated, and the preseason game in the real CBA-level confrontation and attack, and the run-in with teammates also shows some problems. The offensive end rarely uses the left and right hooks of a traditional tall center, and there are not many one-on-one methods in the middle distance.
Liao Sanning (Beijing Enterprises)
Basic information: Birthday 2001-1-29, height 189cm, weight 82KG, arm span 198cm, jump-in-place height 321cm, running touch height 338CM
Event experience: Won the 2018 National U17 Championship on behalf of Dongguan Basketball School; 22.6 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists in the 2019 Second Youth Conference
Features: Breakthrough point guard
Advantages: Liao Sanning has a good arm, a talent for static body data, often has wonderful dunks, the play is varied, the left and right hands are balanced, good at tearing defense, like to find scoring assist opportunities in the middle distance and near frame. The ability to press space on the defensive end is good, there is the potential to become a quality defender, and the organization of the attack is mainly to break through the points, and the gospel of the flank shooter.
Beijing Control released Wang Zirui this summer, and coupled with Sun Yue's retirement, the team's position has been better than most newcomers. Liao Sanning's expectation for his season is to average 10 points and 5 assists per game, the local defender who averaged 5 assists per game last season was Qingdao's Lin Weihan, the former SBL assist king, and the two closest to averaging 10+5 per game were Guangdong Zhao Rui and Guangsha Feng Xin.
Disadvantages: Long-range projection is not his forte, and only one three-point shot was tried in the left and right bottom corners in the two preseason games, all of which were deflected. The ability to pass the ball to the inside line after blocking and dismantling is not strong enough, the experience is still lacking, the organizational rhythm is not good, and the preference is more for sudden points.
Sun Haoqin (Shenzhen)
Basic information: Birthday 2003-1-28, height 192cm, weight 79KG, arm span 192cm, height in situ 310cm, running touch height 326cm
Tournament experience: U19 national games average 30 points, 5 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 2.8 steals, 43 points, 5 rebounds and 6 steals in the final
Features: Dual Energy Guard
Advantages: Rich scoring methods, from various national youth events to the National Games U19, 30+ in a single game often appear. Excellent offensive ability with the ball, stable from the middle distance, resolute in attacking quickly, has a certain passing ability, defensive efforts, is willing to physically confront, and does a good job of pressing the ball holding point. Left and right hands are balanced, there is no very obvious shortcoming at both ends of the attack and defense, if the playing time and ball rights can be guaranteed, it should be excellent immediate combat strength.
Disadvantages: Sun Haoqin started against Guangsha in the preseason, although still brave, but in the confrontation with Sun Minghui only 3 of 12 shots, in the face of high-intensity pressure, long-distance instability, lack of experience and poor organization and other weaknesses were exposed. As a double guard, Sun Haoqin's height arm span is not dominant, and he may face the transformation of a point guard very early, while the two positions in the Shenzhen backcourt are well-organized, and it is not easy to stand out in the new season.
Tim Lee (Shanghai)
Basic information: Birthday 2000-1-26, height 189cm, weight 86KG, arm span 196cm, jump-in-place height 328cm, running touch height 343cm
Tournament experience: In the 2020 U19 Youth League, he averaged 18.4 points and 5.4 rebounds per game to lead Shanghai to the championship and was elected MVP
Features: Violent defender
Advantages: Just from Li Tianrong's few test data, it can be seen that the bounce is very good, the violent backcourt, the preseason has been staged dunks, and the ball style is rough and vigorous. Having had the experience of NBA Academy and the Australian NBL New Zealand Saboteurs, no stranger to professional leagues, full of impact, attacking and defensive ends are very aggressive, known for speed, but at the same time willing to assist, the new season will be a fast horse that Li Chunjiang likes to put on the bench, right, his previous explosive backcourt Everyone knows who it is.
Disadvantages: The height of 189CM is somewhat disadvantageous, for the youth training newcomers, the age of 21 years old is also older, the style of play is relatively single, and the three-point projection ability is not strong. Not a commander style, if you can't stay aggressive, it is very difficult to transform into a stable point guard in a short period of time, and it takes a long time to polish to play a stable personal performance on the court.
There are many potential players in the youth training sector, and there are Guangdong teenagers Xu Xin, Shandong Ma Xinxin, Shanghai Zhang Zhiyao, Beijing Fan Yiming, who are taller than Yu Jiahao, in the front, there are Liaoning Yu Zechen and Shenzhen Wu Zihan, Shanghai Dai Hao who is popular in the backcourt, Guangzhou Tong Jiajun, Tianjin Liu Wei and so on.
CUBA: Li Yiyang is full of spirituality, and Zhao Baiqing is at the right time
Li Yiyang (Fujian)
Basic information: Birthday 1998-12-31, height 181cm, weight 81KG, arm span 187cm, jump-in-place height 301cm, running touch height 320cm
Tournament Experience: The 23rd CUBA Assist King (average 9.4 times per game), the best team, led Xiamen University to the third place in the league
Features: Backcourt Commander
Advantages: Li Yiyang was selected by Fujian with the 6th pick in the first round and is the first passing defender, with 12 assists in a single game in preseason. The style of the game is solid, and there is a very good vision, especially good at finding teammates in the air cut and three-pointers on the flanks. Not afraid of confrontation, excellent steals ability, especially like to force the ball carrier. The speed of the breakthrough is not top-notch, but the sense of rhythm is good, and considering that Fujian is short of defenders and is rebuilding, his prospects for the new season are very promising.
Disadvantages: Cuba produces players who are generally not young, and they are not at the top level in terms of physical data, so the potential should be discounted. Offensive means are still rich but very unstable, and the efficiency is not high, if you have to compare him with the NBA's Chris Paul, Liaoning's Zhao Jiwei and other short backcourts, no fresh way to score is fatal. When you first arrive, it will take time for the chemistry of the new season and your teammates to form.
Zhao Baiqing (Tongxi)
Basic information: Birthday 1998-12-19, height 203cm, weight 108KG, arm span 206cm, jump-in-place height 325cm, running touch height 343CM
Event History: Runner-up in the 23rd CUBA, averaging 16.3 points and 6.7 rebounds per game
Features: All-round type large front
Advantages: Zhao Baiqing is the second inner line of the list eye selected by Tongxi in recent years, and unlike Sun Siyao, the "old P" has the ability to shoot three points at the same time, and is also a good hand at grabbing rebounds and assisting in defense. He has the potential to become a space striker, can be at a high position, likes to cut empty, as the last main battle of the Peking Dynasty, more comprehensive. Tongxi has high hopes for it, and there is no No. 4 position of the same type in the team that can open up space, which can be said to be timely.
Disadvantages: As a newcomer is not young, in the professional league, the height is short in the 4th position, the confrontation is not advantageous for the time being, and the ball-holding offense may need to be re-polished. The defensive end is not fast enough, the ability to change defenses is weak, and it is easy to be targeted by blocking and dismantling.
In the 2021 CBA draft, a total of 45 CUBA players participated, of which as many as 17 were selected, Shanxi Li Zhanglin, Beijing Luan Licheng are also players with high hopes, in recent years, there have been continuous emergence of draft players, Sichuan Zhang Dianliang, Beikong Li Weihao, Tongxi's Liu Dong and Wu Tingjia, Jilin Liu Yutao and other people have the opportunity to play famous.
NBL: Cui Xiaolong is full of talent, and Sun Rongxiao is not small
Cui Xiaolong (Jiangsu)
Basic information: Birthday 1999-2-19, height 194cm, weight 85KG, arm span 189cm, jump-in-place height 312cm, running touch height 320cm
Event experience: NBL 18.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, 7.1 assists, 2.2 steals per game in the 2020 season, 32 points, 10 rebounds and 16 assists in the opening game; 14.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, 5 assists and 3.4 steals per game in the Play-offs of the National Games
Features: Assault high defender
Advantages: The first defender to be selected in the 2021 draft, Jiangsu picked Cui Xiaolong with the 4th pick, for Li Nan, who likes three defenders, he is definitely the best candidate to play multiple positions. Physically strong, with a professional league resume, strong breakthrough ability, the performance of impacting the basket is easy to remind people of his predecessor Jiang Yuxing, who can maintain a good passing vision in the breakthrough, the defensive end likes to fight, and has a strong destructive power against the ball carrier.
Disadvantages: Perhaps the tradition of the Henan team, Cui Xiaolong is also not good at long-range shooting like Jiang Yuxing, and the shooting stability is very poor, in fact, the style of the ball is quite similar to Guo Allen in the early years. The accuracy and timing of the pass in the position organization are not good enough, mistakes in the higher intensity of the game may accumulate quickly, and the handling after the defensive end is changed cannot adapt to the requirements of the top to the 3 position.
Henan has 3 players entering the league at the same time, and Qingdao Lv Junhu and Shanxi Jia Hao are also very distinctive. Another Sun Rongxiao, who did not go through the draft, was signed directly from Wuhan Contemporary by Tongxi, averaging 26.6 points, 8.8 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.6 steals per game last season, making him the NBL leading scorer. Coming from the New Century Youth Training and going to many teams, he is likely to be a highlight of the new season, by the way, many years ago he entered the Shenzhen big list, but he did not appear in the league, which is considered a newcomer.
NCAA: Wang Yixiong and Au Junxuan, double-shaped group warming
Wang Yixiong (Fujian)
Basic information: Birthday 1998-3-19, height 206cm, weight 109KG, arm span 208cm, jump-in-place height 324cm, running touch height 339cm
Game History: NCAA California State University Fulton for 4 years, 90 games, averaging 3.1 points, 2.3 rebounds and 0.2 assists in 12.8 minutes per game
Features: Eat cake type inner line
Advantages: Most of the players in the United States have a characteristic, that is, they are strong and have good physical confrontation ability, and the same is true for the new branch. It's not easy to play in the NCAA for 4 years, which is why he can become a champion, there is a certain projection, three points in the preseason, the foot moves faster, and the play is very positive. Suitable for blocking and dismantling with defenders, attacking the basket resolutely, and is a cake-eating interior line that can be created.
Disadvantages: Age and height are not dominant, the position is blurred, the ability to project from a distance has not yet been proven, the ability to combine the ball is not strong, and the end of the basket is not delicate enough. On the defensive end, the arm span is not good enough, the defensive control surface is not large, it is difficult to become an excellent defensive gate, and it needs to be matched with a more defensive front.
NCAA has returned to China in recent years, the best newcomer last season was Zhang Zhenlin who returned from Tulane University, and Wang Yixiong's Fujian teammate Ou Junxuan just played a beautiful game. In fact, in addition to him in this year's draft, there are also Shandong Li Shengzhe, Shanxi Xiao Jianxun, Fujian Adili-Kurban, the previous youth training board deliberately missed Xinjiang's recent brilliant Ilifrati-Mohetaner, he has also played at Johnson University Florida in the United States before, and a partition can see the explosiveness.
The emergence of newcomers is the hope of a league, is the scene that Chinese basketball is most looking forward to seeing, the sun at seven or eight o'clock is not strong, but it can make the blood line wake up, to meet the youth and blood of a season.
