On May 3, Beijing time, Yu Jiahao, a 19-year-old big center in Zhejiang, officially arrived in Los Angeles, USA, and will start preparing for personal training and participating in the NBA draft. Yu Jiahao played in the CBA League for the first time this season, played for the Zhejiang men's basketball team, became the core of the team's interior line in the rookie season, played 30 times, contributed 11.9 points, 8.5 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game, Zhejiang won 23 points in the regular season to win the Guangdong game, Yu Jiahao against Yi Jianlian did 9 of 14 and took 26 and 17 rebounds, Zhejiang played a game in Shanghai, facing Wang Zhelin, Yu Jiahao scored 21 points and 11 rebounds in 8 of 11.
It can be seen that the 19-year-old Yu Jiahao quickly showed immediate combat strength, excellent personal feel, and had a good level of confrontation at the age of 19, while Yu Jiahao also won the best star sharp of the season this season, which is the best young player this season. Considering that Zhejiang is a strong team in the league's top 4 level, Yu Jiahao's performance is more gold-rich. At the same time, because of his height of 2 meters 21 and the soft feel of shooting, Yu Jiahao got a nickname of Yao Ming.
This time Yu Jiahao participated in the NBA draft, reflecting the young center's desire for a higher stage, originally Yu Jiahao had many years of Experience in American campus basketball, if it were not for the outbreak of the epidemic, Yu Jiahao would have wanted to take the NCAA First Division League to impact the NBA road, but helplessly returned to the CBA in advance to play, considering Yu Jiahao's understanding of American basketball culture, if the special training is good, you can get more scouting attention, Yu Jiahao has the opportunity to fight for a contract, everything depends on his efforts. In the history of the development of the Chinese men's basketball team, the players who can be selected by NBA teams and perform certainly are all inside, Wang Zhizhi, Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian are all inside, for this reason, I believe that Yu Jiahao has the opportunity to win his own opportunities, young is capital, 19 years old is not afraid of losing.
Up to now, the players in the Chinese basketball world who are clearly going to impact the NBA this summer include Yu Jiahao in Zhejiang, Zhang Zhenlin in Liaoning and Guo Haowen in Shanghai, all of whom have formulated opportunities to rush to the United States for special training. Zhou Qi, who directly received the invitation to the Pacers' training camp, chose to return to China to prepare for the national team competition. It is a good thing that more and more players are eager to impact the NBA and impact higher level games, which is conducive to the cultivation of talents in the Chinese men's basketball team, and the emergence of stronger and better players will inspire others to move forward!
It is worth mentioning that there is another player who rushed to the United States with Yu Jiahao for special training, that is, Wu Tianhao, a 15-year-old young player from Shandong (December 2006, currently 2.15 meters tall), arrived in Los Angeles together, Wu Tianhao will also look for trainers, start personal training and school visits, he will start his high school career this fall, try to take the road of basketball on the American campus. Judging from the few training videos and photos, 15-year-old Wu Tianhao has good physical conditions, 2 meters 15 tall but not too thin, with a lot of room for growth.
