As the season draws to a close, the winners of the CBA regular season awards will also be released, let's take a look at the player who has played best in the block list this season, the core of the Shenzhen team, Shen Zijie! In the 2021-22 season, Shen Zijie played 32 games for Shenzhen team, averaging 14.8 points and 9 rebounds per game, although there was a slight gap with the data of 16.7 points and 11.3 rebounds last season, but this was played in nearly 5-6 minutes of playing, which is already very good, at least Shen Zijie's performance has become stable!
On the defensive end, Shen Zijie is still trustworthy, as an interior player, he has been able to contribute 1.1 steals and 2.5 blocks per game this season, and has done a very good job in the inner line of the rim and defense. Not surprisingly, Shen Zijie will win the title of League Block King, which is also the first place in the league for two consecutive seasons of average blocks per game (all foreign aides included)! When selecting the best defensive player of the year last season, Shen Zijie regretted that he was defeated by Guangdong's striker Zhou Peng, and Shen Zijie, who continued this defensive performance this season, may be able to compete for his first best defensive player award!
Although Shen Zijie has limited scoring means, he is indeed the most suitable for the interior players in today's small ball era, with height, arm span, the offensive end does not occupy the ball, mainly responsible for "eating cake", and the average personal shooting rate per game is as high as 70%! The defensive end has footsteps, speed and bounce, and the defensive area is large! Shen Zijie's playing style is somewhat similar to the Eagles' "pie king" Capela, if Zhou Qi, Wang Zhelin and Shen Zijie can go to the NBA, it must be that Shen Zijie will be more popular, after all, his characteristics are more suitable there.
On the efficiency of the frame protection and defensive ability, the current Shen Zijie may not be lost to Zhou Qi, although in terms of height and arm span, Shen Zijie is inferior to the latter, but the athletic ability and bounce power of the two still have a fight. Now Shen Zijie has a high probability of winning the title of league cap king, the next is to compete for the title of the best defensive player of the year, if he can be successfully elected in the end, then Shen Zijie may already be on a par with Zhou Qi in the defensive piece, or even stronger than the latter!
Which do you think Zhou Qi and Shen Zijie have better defensive and defensive ability?
