Recently, the CBA officially announced the player of the week in the twelfth week of the regular season, namely Zhao Jiwei from Liaoning and Jones from Jilin! After the league entered the third stage, the Liaoning men's basketball team had some ups and downs in the state, and the ranking once slipped to the third position, and during this period, Guo Allen was stopped and stopped, and the team's other defender, Zhao Jiwei, stood up.
In the last four rounds of the game, he averaged 21.8 points, 8.5 assists and 4 steals per game, and handed over 60% of the three-point shooting rate, leading Liaoning to a wave of consecutive wins, while also locking the first place position in the regular season, and personally entering the regular season MVP candidate list for two consecutive years!
This season is a season in which Zhao Jiwei proved himself, for some reasons Guo Allen only played 21 games for the team, more often Than not, Zhao Jiwei led the team to play, playing for Liaoning in 37 games. He averaged 14.3 points, 8 assists and 2.2 steals in 28.7 minutes per game, all of which set a new career high and led the team to the first place in the regular season after 6 years, which is enough to prove that Zhao Jiwei has the ability to lead the team!
Zhao Jiwei has been defined as a defender who can play with his brain since his debut, and at the age of 20, he became the starting point guard of the Chinese men's basketball team and helped the men's basketball team win the Asian Championship championship, and has since been praised by fans as "Paul of Anshan"! However, at the club, because of the talent of the team's defender line and his own task, Zhao Jiwei in the first few years of his career did not show much in his scoring ability, so that many fans thought that he was just a defender who could assist and pass.
However, with the reduction of liaoning men's basketball defenders, Zhao Jiwei has to slowly take on more responsibilities, and in recent seasons, he has gradually shown his strength on the offensive end, especially in the 2021-22 season, he can average 14.3 points per game, shooting 52% and 37% shooting rate of 37% respectively!
In terms of tandem, he is still the team's most trustworthy "organizational brain", although the average of 8 assists per game is not as good as Chen Yingjun's 9.2 times, but it is necessary to know that Zhao Jiwei sent these assists, the average playing time per game only took 28.7 minutes, and Chen Yingjun's playing time per game was as high as 37.4 minutes, if zhao Jiwei was also given the same time, I believe that he should not have much problem with assists. On the defensive end, Zhao Jiwei's defensive judgment and ability to start are also very strong, and this season he has also won the local steal king with an average of 2.2 steals per game, and the offensive and defensive ends have basically become without any defects. Such Zhao Jiwei is definitely the first point guard in the league!
