With the departure of Zhou Qi, the Xinjiang men's basketball team exposed a very big problem on the inside line, more hopes are pinned on the young general Lutubra, although he has the title of "domestic thick eyebrows", the physical fitness is also very good, but after all, it is his third season, experience and strength are still lacking, want him to fill the vacancy opened by Zhou Qi, it is indeed a bit difficult.
This season, Rutubula has played 31 games for Xinjiang, averaging only 6.5 points and 3.7 rebounds per game, the offensive and defensive efficiency is not particularly good, and the individual's offensive ability is also very limited, and the threat of the inside line is not large.
In contrast, another inside lineman, Azmatti, may be more worthy of training by the Xinjiang team, Azmeti was born in 2002, playing as a big forward, although his height is only 2 meters 03, but he weighs 125 kilograms, which is a bit of a tonnage of internal players! This season is the second season of Azmat's career, playing a total of 37 games for the team, averaging 8.4 points and 3.1 rebounds in 20.7 minutes per game, compared to the rookie season of 3.9 points and 2.2 rebounds has been a substantial increase, which is a very good for a 20-year-old youngster.
Azmeti is a very characteristic interior line, the middle distance is his best weapon, relying on the middle shot to score he can average 56% of the shooting rate per game, this season against Guangzhou, Azmeti has a highlight performance of 24 points on 11 of 14 shots, and also scored 21 points on 9 of 11 shots against Ningbo. To tell the truth, the current domestic interior players, often are based on "eating cake", like Azmeti has such a strong shooting ability of the inside line is indeed rare, the last player with such ability is still wang Zhizhi of the Bayi team.
The weight of 125 kilograms can make up for the lack of height of Azmat to a certain extent, he is very good at using his body to hit the opponent's interior line, using the weight to close the opponent, and then combined with the soft feel to score. The well-known commentator Yang Yi once said that Azmatti, who is also a left and right athlete, is very similar to the original Wang Zhizhi! However, Azmaty is much stronger physically than Dazhi, and comparing him to the former NBA Grizzlies' interior lineman Randolph seems to be a little more realistic, also a bit of tonnage, with a strong shooting ability of the Fourth position. Azmeti is only 20 years old this year, he can play such a good game performance, the Xinjiang men's basketball team should really cultivate well, let him become the team's future inner core!
