Chinese players NBA career totals: Zhou Qi 10 points, Wang Zhizhi 604 points, Yao Ming record ceiling
A total of six people have entered the NBA in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team, namely Yao Ming, Zhou Qi, Yi Jianlian, Wang Zhizhi, Sun Yue and Battle. So, let's take a look at what their NBA career total scores are.
Sun Yue
At his peak, Sun Yue was hailed as Asia's first guard, and his outstanding performance at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games gave him the opportunity to play in the NBA. However, in the fiercely competitive NBA, Sun Yue did not get many opportunities to play, playing only 10 games in his entire career, playing a total of 28 minutes, and scoring only 6 points.
Zhou Qi
As the mainstay of today's Chinese men's basketball team, Zhou Qi was selected by the Rockets in 2017, so he is also regarded by many domestic fans as Yao Ming's successor. However, due to his too thin body, Zhou Qi's weakness in power confrontation was infinitely magnified, and he never entered the rotation lineup, and finally was cut back to the CBA in 18 years. Throughout his NBA career, Zhou Qi played in a total of 19 games and scored 23 points.
Battle
The reason why Battle was able to enter the NBA was entirely due to his innate divine power, to know that the Spurs signed him as Duncan's sparring partner, and the hypothetical enemy was O'Neal, which shows how terrifying his strength is. Battle, on the other hand, played 46 games in the NBA for three seasons and averaged 3.4 points per game, with a total of 156 points.
Wang Zhizhi
Wang Zhizhi was the first Chinese player to enter the NBA, and he was selected by the Lone Ranger with the 7th pick in the second round in 1999, but did not officially enter the league until 2001 due to various factors. In his five-year NBA career, Wang Zhizhi played a total of 137 games, averaging 4.4 points and 1.7 rebounds per game, with a total of 604 points.
Yi
As the sixth pick in 2007, Yi Jianlian had a very good career start, and his excellent physical talent made the outside world think that he could become the second Yao Ming. However, due to various problems such as personality and playing style, Yi Jianlian did not shine like Yao Ming, and finally after being cut by the Lone Ranger in 12 years, he could only choose to return to the CBA. Throughout his NBA career, Yi Jianlian played a total of 272 games, averaging 7.9 points and 4.9 rebounds per game, with a total of 2148 points.
Yao
Although Yao Ming only played 8 seasons in the NBA, it is undeniable that he was still one of the best centers in the league at that time, even when facing O'Neal and Howard. In his 8-year NBA career, Yao Ming played a total of 486 games, including 476 starts, averaging 19 points, 9.2 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game, and his personal total score reached 9247 points, the highest record for Chinese players in the NBA.
