It is really difficult for Chinese players to enter the NBA, that is, in the entire history of the Chinese men's basketball team, there are only a few people who have played in the NBA. If you want to enter the NBA, you need super talent, but also excellent talent, in this talented league, it is very difficult to play. Zhou Qi, Wang Zhizhi, Yi Jianlian, Yao Ming, they are Chinese players who have officially played for many seasons, and each of them deserves respect. So among these 4 people, who makes the most money, let's take a look.
Zhou Qi – 1.32 million salary
Zhou Qi played in the NBA for a total of 2 years, and these 2 years were honestly average, which is why he did not stay. At that time, Zhou Qi's mentality had not yet been adjusted, and his body was thin, so he had no advantage in the inner line, except for the cap, there was almost no highlight. Averaging 1.3 points and 1.2 rebounds per game in 2 seasons, this statistic is doomed to not get a high salary, so 1.32 million is still objective. But now That Zhou Qi has fully grown, with his performance in the NBL, it is more than enough to play a rotation in the NBA.
Wang Zhizhi – 5.2 million salary
Then there is Wang Zhizhi, who is the first god of the Chinese men's basketball team to officially enter the NBA. As a first-man strength is definitely there, his low-level technology is delicate, his steps are gorgeous, and the template is Nowitzki. Unfortunately, Dazhi was delayed, and when he entered the NBA, he was not the peak, and the team's No. 4 position was fiercely competitive at that time, so he had little chance to perform. He averaged 4.4 points and 1.7 rebounds per game in his career, which is really non-existent, so even if he plays for 5 years, his salary is only $5.2 million.
Yi Jianlian - 14.09 million salary
Yi Jianlian is the active leading figure of the Chinese men's basketball team, even if he is seriously injured, his strength is still online. He entered the NBA with the 6th pick in 2007, and that talent is quite good. The peak is 12 + 7.2 data, which is now tens of millions of annual salaries. It's just a pity that Yi Jianliansheng is not timely, his era pays attention to confrontation, and he is an outside play, so he is not welcomed. Coupled with injuries and personality problems, he was not even able to start at the team. Averaging 7.9 points and 4.9 rebounds in five seasons, he still earned 14.09 million in salary.
Yao Ming - 93.39 million salary
Yao Ming is the most successful Chinese player in the NBA, but he was inducted into the Hall of Fame, and his strength is obvious to all. The healthy Yao Ming's low-post attack is unsolvable, the protective frame is also top-notch, and he is ruined by injuries. Eight seasons of steady starters, averaging 19+9 per game. Yao Ming's popularity is high, the commercial value is huge, the team has turned around because of him, and his salary is naturally inferior. Yao Ming era maximum salary is also about 20 million, he is taking this salary, 8 seasons earned a total of 93.39 million US dollars, NBA 8 seasons of play, Yao Ming has achieved wealth freedom!
