In the development of the Chinese men's basketball team in these years, it can be said that there has been a good progress, although the overall strength is not as good as the players in the NBA, but it is indeed visible to the naked eye. The winner of the last CBA Finals was finally the Liaoning team that got its wish, and they put a lot of effort into it, but this championship does have a certain luck component. Although the current CBA game is indeed much better than before, the gap between us and the great powers is still very obvious. The NBA is the highest temple of basketball and a dream place for all players.
In history, only Yao Ming, a Chinese basketball player, is more famous in the NBA, and although Yi Jianlian has also played in it, it is not long. Zhou Qi was originally pinned high hopes by the fans, but he was helplessly hidden by the team, and there was basically no chance to play for 2 years, wasting time in vain. Zhou Qi, who returned to the CBA, began to settle down and grow hard, and perhaps soon he will have the opportunity to impact the NBA. But today we are talking about not Zhou Qi, but another CBA star Zhang Zhenlin.
Now that Zhang Zhenlin is only 23 years old, it can be said that the future has great possibilities. He played many games abroad before joining the CBA in 2020. In the NCAA career, he averaged 5.77 points and 2.25 rebounds per game, which is not easy for Chinese players. Joining the CBA, he calmed down to build his basic skills and personal experience. From the point of view of honor, he is indeed worthy of the expectations of fans. Two domestic best team second team, two all-stars, one star competition MVP, two monthly best star players, etc., such an honor at such an age, the future can be expected.
According to the latest news, Yang Yi revealed in a live broadcast: "Zhang Zhenlin is ready to go to the United States to play G-league (NBA Development League), has applied", as we all know, if you enter the NBA Development League, it means that half of the feet have stepped into the NBA, because many teams will give priority to selecting people from the development league. Zhang Zhenlin's personal technical characteristics are mainly strong physical fitness, sudden ability to shoot and three-point shots, fully adapt to the new era of team basketball, and the role of the team is also very large.
If Zhang Zhenlin can go to the NBA, this is also very good news for the Chinese men's basketball team. If you are lucky, you may become the second person after Yao Ming. You must know that when Yao Ming first entered the NBA, his ability and physical fitness were not very good, and the practice of moving forward later made him a frightening inside bully. Although Zhang Zhenlin's overall personal strength is still lacking, he is still young, he still has time and opportunities to strengthen himself, and after entering the NBA Development League, he can contact and learn more.
We should not deny the dream of a young man, even if the road is extremely difficult, but what if it succeeds? Nowadays, the gap between the Chinese men's basketball team and the strong countries is too big, and we need more people to go out of the national basketball team and then bring back better things from the outside world, so that the progress will be more rapid.
