Earlier, the 2022 NBA Draft officially came to an end, and the three Chinese players participating in the election this time, Yu Jiahao, Guo Haowen, and Zeng Fanbo, all fell behind Sun Shan, and not only Chinese players, but even several Asian players Who participated in the election, Kaisoto and Li Xianzhong, unfortunately became unsuccessful drafts.
All three Chinese players were defeated, and Guo Haowen was invited to the Lone Rangers Summer League at the first time
Shortly after the draft, it was revealed that Shanghai men's basketball guard Guo Haowen was invited to represent the Lone Ranger in the Summer League in July, before Guo Haowen had tried to train in the Lone Ranger, although the Lone Ranger failed to use the second round of the draw traded from the King to remove Zeng Fanbo (chose to drop the first round of Jayden Hardy), but this time willing to give Guo Haowen a summer league place, Cuban This wave is indeed highly recognized by fans. Although because of Yao Ming, everyone used to regard the Rockets as their NBA mother team, in fact, the Lone Ranger is also very caring for Chinese players.
Cuban has accepted stars such as Hu Weidong, Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi, and Ding Yanyuhang is the most regrettable
As early as 1998, the Lone Ranger gave Hu Weidong, who was known as "China Jordan", a short 10-day contract, but at that time, he was plagued by injuries and saw that his CBA parent team Jiangsu men's basketball team might encounter the risk of relegation, and he also missed the opportunity to play in the NBA. In 1999, when the Lone Ranger used his second round of No. 7 to select the Chinese player Wang Zhizhi, which also made him roughly the first Chinese player to officially land in the NBA, although he did not play a famous role in the NBA, he was also lucky to be a teammate with Nuo Tianwang for a period of time, and the two also formed a deep friendship. In addition, at the NBA draft in 2003, the Lone Ranger once again showed favor to Chinese players, when they chose Xue Yuyang with a second round of No. 57 picks, but unfortunately, because of the obstruction of the Basketball Association at that time, Xue Yuyang did not get the opportunity to enter the NBA.
In 11 years, Yi Jianlian, who was abandoned by the Wizards at that time, was about to fade out of the NBA, but at this time, the Lone Ranger once again reached out to the Chinese players and brought the UAE League to the Lone Ranger, although after joining the Lone Ranger, the UAE League did not get any playing opportunities, averaging only 6.8 minutes per game, scoring 2.6 points and 1.6 rebounds, but being able to pull him at the most difficult time in the UAE, Cuban was also greatly appreciated by Chinese fans at that time. In addition, in 16 years, Ge Zhaobao, the main internal line of the Shanxi men's basketball team, was also invited by the lone ranger to let him go to the United States to play in the summer league for the team, although he was not selected for the team's summer league list, he finally joined the NBDL selection team and was able to appear in the summer league. The last one who has contacted the Lone Ranger is undoubtedly Ding Yanyuhang, who makes fans uneasy, xiaoding played in the summer league on behalf of the lone ranger in the summer of 17 years, once scored 13 points in a single game, and in 18 years he participated in the China tournament with the team, but unfortunately, due to injury reasons, Xiao Ding did not get a formal contract for the lone ranger.
Counting that Guo Haowen Has Been in Contact with 7 Chinese Players, Cuban really gave the Chinese people a chance
If you count this time Guo Haowen, the Lone Ranger has accepted as many as 7 Chinese players before and after, and I have to say that Cuban is really giving the Chinese people a chance, and I also hope that this time Xiao Guo can play an excellent performance in the summer league and strive to get a formal contract offered by the Lone Ranger to appear in the NBA next season.
