The CBA announced the shortlist of the fastest progressive players, and 12 players including Abdul Salam, Fan Ziming, Zhu Junlong, Xing Zhiqiang and Zou Yuchen were selected. It seems that the competition is fierce, but the suspense is not big, and Abudu's advantage is obvious. Abudu was a former national player, and when he won the Asian Games championship for the Chinese men's basketball team, he scored 20 points and 6 rebounds in the final, which is an absolute hero. In the competition list, Ah Budu is the most famous one and the most beautiful one in his resume. But the advantages have nothing to do with these, mainly reflected in the data, Abudu's data increase, the entire CBA is unmatched.
In the 2020-21 season, Abdu averaged only 7.5 points and 3.1 rebounds per game. This season, Abdu is averaging 23 points and 7.4 rebounds per game, an increase of 15.5 points per game. This is a more intuitive reflection of the single-game score. Last season, it was not uncommon for Abdu to score single-digit games, with 5 games with 0 points. This season, Abdu has never had a game with less than double-digit scores, with 13 games with 25 points in a single game and a 50-point high in a single game.
The change in public opinion also confirms the great change in Abudu. After the end of last season, some well-known commentators exposed the news that Abu will leave the Xinjiang men's basketball team and join the Tongxi men's basketball team. Afterwards, it turned out to be a rumor, and Abdu eventually stayed in the team. But when the rumor first came out, it caused a huge response and was considered to be highly credible. This situation occurs because Ah Budu is considered to be unworthy of the top salary, and the Xinjiang men's basketball team may not necessarily keep him.
Abu is not all looked down upon, not only because of the bad statistics of the 2020-21 season, but also because his physical fitness has dropped significantly and his speed has also slowed down. Before his comeback, Abdu suffered a serious injury and missed a multi-season game as a result. After serious injuries, the speed of light falls, which is common in both the NBA and the CBA. In the NBA, superstars such as Maddy quickly slipped from the top after suffering serious injuries. In the CBA, Ding Yanyuhang was a two-time regular season MVP, and after being seriously injured, he once had no ball to play. Continued to perform badly, Abudu also has signs of falling, and it is reasonable to be looked down upon.
But after a season, Abdullah was again surrounded by flowers and applause. Averaging 23 points per game, Abdu has become the local scoring king, and he is praised as the qualified local core of the Xinjiang men's basketball team. It is also considered that it can pick a beam to the national team, and in 2019, the old thing that the national team coach Li Nan did not use Abdu was mentioned again. What's more, Abu is considered to be able to participate in this season's regular season MVP selection. However, because the Xinjiang men's basketball team did not qualify for the playoffs and the regular season record was not good, Abudu failed to be selected into the regular season MVP candidate list.
From hell to heaven, the process of Abdu's counterattack is more moving than the change in data. Constantly improving physical fitness and speed, Abudu has made unimaginable efforts from the outside world. After returning from a serious injury, many athletes do not dare to make movements and have a fear mentality, which is also one of the main reasons for the fall. Abdu also overcame his psychological problems and slowly returned to his original mode of playing.
Because before the serious injury, Abdu was a local supergiant, often cutting down thirty or forty points, and he was considered not to be selected for the list of the fastest improving players. In fact, Abdu was originally very strong, a well-rounded scorer, and now he is just back to normal levels. However, It is too difficult for Abdu to return to the previous road. Not only to overcome psychological and physical problems, But also to face a flood of doubts and contempt.
If Ah Bu can be elected as the fastest improving player, this is not only a recognition and encouragement for himself, but also an encouragement for all players in the trough. Because of this, when judging awards, we can't only look at the fame of the players, but also look at the data and the significance of the election.
