Wang Zhelin has always been the most controversial player in the CBA.
He came from a basketball family, the fifth grade was selected by the sports school, began professional basketball training, was once considered to be the best talented big man in China, and Wang Zhelin also lived up to expectations, landing in the first season of the CBA, he handed over an average of 20 + 10 results per game, however, although the data is incomparably dazzling, But Wang Zhelin has never made a breakthrough in the results of the team, until the 7th year of his career, he tasted the taste of the playoffs for the first time.
The 18-19 season is the peak of Wang Zhelin, he averaged 24.7 points, 13.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.0 steals, 1.8 blocks of the full performance, elected MVP, but in the playoffs, Wang Zhelin and his Fujian, once again stopped in the quarterfinals, since then, Wang Zhelin's state has fluctuated, the outside world's evaluation of him is also low to the bottom, last season, when people are discussing who is the strongest four centers in the current CBA, fans have habitually begun to ignore the existence of Wang Zhelin.
Perhaps feeling ignored, or perhaps too disappointed in the operation of the Fujian management, last offseason, Wang Zhelin resolutely chose to join the Shanghai men's basketball team, a team that has missed the playoffs for 2 consecutive years.
It can be clearly seen that this season's Wang Zhelin, not only the offensive end is more tough, the defense is also proactive, as the core of the team, he led the Shanghai men's basketball team to achieve the third record of the league, in the playoffs 1/4 final, facing the regular season double kill their own Shenzhen men's basketball team, Wang Zhelin is playing the MVP level level, NBA level dominance, did not give the opponent a chance, simply and neatly eliminated the Shenzhen men's basketball team with a total score of 2:0, breaking into the top four.
Before the start of the series, Wang Zhelin's duel with the opponent's internal line Shen Zijie, is the focus of the most attention, Shen Zijie is one of the fastest rising stars in the CBA in recent years, last season averaged 16 + 11 double-doubles, although the score dropped to 14.8 points this season, but on the defensive end, he can average 1.1 steals, 2.4 blocks per game, not only won the block king, but also was rated as the best defensive player, it is worth mentioning that Shen Zijie's first career 20 + 20, is in Shanghai, It's just that in that game, Wang Zhelin did not play.
But who can come, originally thought to be a match of equal strength, but evolved into a one-sided explosion, Wang Zhelin 2 games a total of 52 points, grabbed 30 rebounds, sent 8 assists, 6 steals, plus 4 blocks, on the contrary, Shen Zijie, in addition to occasionally eat a cake, completely can not stand up to the full defense of Wang Zhelin, 2 games a total of 21 points, grabbed 27 rebounds.
There is no doubt that as long as Wang Zhelin takes a tough attitude, he will still be the best center in this league.
