According to Yang Yi, a well-known media personality, Liaoning men's basketball championship forward Zhang Zhenlin is ready to go to the United States to play in the NBA Development League, thus impacting the NBA. As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused a heated discussion. There are Chinese players to attack the NBA, and the vast majority of voices are supporting Zhang Zhenlin. But many people believe that the time has not yet come, because Zhang Zhenlin's technology is not mature enough, at least there are many shortcomings in the offensive end, and Ding Yanyu should be trained to hold the ball.
On the surface, Zhang Zhenlin really has many deficiencies. The offense with the ball is very weak, and Zhang Zhenlin sometimes seems to be afraid of physical confrontation when attacking, and only has a three-point shot. But this can not be hidden, this is the fact that this is the best time for Zhang Zhenlin to attack the NBA.
Zhang Zhenlin's biggest advantage in impacting the NBA is the three-point shooting and defense, which has been shown in the playoffs this season. In the first round of the playoffs against the Shanxi men's basketball team, Zhang Zhenlin scored 28 points, which became an unstoppable scoring point for the other side. The high score is because Zhang Zhenlin made a three-point shot accurately, shooting 8 three-pointers. In the third game of the semifinal elimination of the Guangdong men's basketball team, Zhang Zhenlin shot 6 three-pointers and scored 33 points.
The three-point shot is accurate because Zhang Zhenlin has a soft feel. It is also that Zhang Zhenlin dares to vote and has a big heart. For example, in the game against the Guangdong men's basketball team, Zhang Zhenlin's three-point shot was almost all key balls. Relying on accurate three-pointers, Zhang Zhenlin has become a key link in the offensive system of the Liaoning men's basketball team. Even the NBA has a thirst for excellent three-pointers.
This season, the Liaoning men's basketball team can win the championship, and it is crucial to eliminate the Guangdong men's basketball team in the semifinals. In the past two seasons, the Liaoning men's basketball team and the Guangdong men's basketball team have lost in the finals. This encounter, the Liaoning men's basketball team can become a winner, and Zhang Zhenlin's role in defense is very critical. In the past 2 finals, the Liaoning men's basketball team has been blown up by Weems and Zhou Peng. In this year's semifinals, under the defense of Zhang Zhenlin, Weems and Zhou Peng both turned off the fire. Weems only scored 20 points in one game and only 10 points in one game. As for Zhou Peng, not a single game has scored in double figures.
Can shoot three points, but also do a good job of defense, Zhang Zhenlin has the capital to impact the NBA. Because in the NBA, except for a very small number of naturally selected sons like James, the vast majority of players have to start from the bench. Zhang Zhenlin will not be an exception if he can rush into the NBA, and his initial role can only be a role to play. In this case, Zhang Zhenlin wants to settle down and do a good job of defense is the first step. In addition, Zhang Zhenlin also has to seize the shooting opportunity, and being good at three-pointers comes in handy. As for the omnipotent big core play, it is not important for young players because the ball available is limited.
In addition to technology, age is also one of the reasons why Zhang Zhenlin is more advantageous to hit the NBA sooner. Young means potential, and a year earlier in the NBA, the potential is bigger. At the same time, it also means that the more space can be plasticized. This is also the root of the willingness of many teams in the NBA to bet on young players, and many older rookies, although technologically mature, are often unpopular.
Judging from this season's performance, Zhang Zhenlin is already the strongest second-year student in the CBA. Having won the championship again, Zhang Zhenlin has become famous. If you want to improve yourself faster, playing in the NBA is also Zhang Zhenlin's best choice. Even if he can't rush into the NBA, Zhang Zhenlin can find his own shortcomings and improve himself.
