Although the Chinese men's basketball team lost to South Korea in the group stage of the Asian Cup, after all, there was a reason for it, and the lineup was very inferior due to a large area of disease, and the fans expressed their understanding and sent encouragement. Fortunately, it soon ushered in the news that everyone was excited, on July 13, Beijing time, in the NBA Summer League, two Chinese players Zhang Zhenlin and Guo Haowen completed the "derby" on behalf of their respective teams, and both of them played excellently, and the data also created a new high.
In this game, the Suns won 105-78 against the Lone Rangers, and the result did not matter, the scouts were the first. Before this, Zhang Zhenlin had played two games for the Suns, but both appeared in the garbage time of losing the suspense of victory and defeat, playing 2 minutes against the Lakers, getting 3 points and 1 rebound; Improved in the second game, with 5 points and 1 rebound.
Today's game against the Lone Ranger, Zhang Zhenlin is still 4 and a half minutes away from the end of the game, and he scored 9 points, which is a new high in recent games. Zhang Zhenlin gives the impression that as long as he plays, he will be full of fighting spirit, excellent physical condition, and his ability to run and jump is not inferior to that of European and American players. In the two years of the CBA, he has staged countless earth-shattering dunks, and when he came to the NBA venue, he also actively sought opportunities for dunks, but today's two attempts were unsuccessful, one was pulled down by the opponent in the air connection, and the other was blocked by the opponent.
On the opponent's side, Guo Haowen made his debut in the Lone Rangers, and he had not been able to play due to injury before. Born in 2000, Guo Haowen has played several seasons in the CBA, has excellent athleticism, and has good ball holding ability as a big player, and is regarded as Sun Yue's successor.
After joining the Shanghai team, Guo Haowen was reused by Li Chunjiang, but he has always had the idea of breaking into the NBA, from last year to the Summer always go to the United States for special training, this year by the Lone Rangers in the summer league to try their hand. In this game, Guo Haowen played earlier, played a total of 15 minutes, evenly distributed each quarter, and Zhang Zhenlin scored 9 points, shooting 3 of 4 with very high efficiency, but the free throws of 6 in 2 were not too ideal.
After the end of the game, Zhang Zhenlin and Guo Haowen were interviewed by the media together, and Zeng Fanbo and Wang Quanze, who chased their dreams in the United States, were also at the scene, and the fans were slightly excited to see 4 young people appear in the camera.
Zhang Zhenlin revealed that his choice of the No. 17 jersey has nothing to do with Jeremy Lin, it is the number assigned by the Suns, and also praised Guo Haowen's performance. In the game, sitting on the bench, Zhang Zhenlin as an opponent also gave Guo Haowen applause. Guo Haowen said that he wanted to play before, but he needed to listen to the arrangement of the team doctor, even if the foot injury was not completely good now, but he was very happy and satisfied to play the game.
There is a detail worth recalling during the interview, Zhang Zhenlin saw that some fans wore Liaoning jerseys and Shanghai jerseys to support them, and specially expressed his gratitude. And zeng Fanbo next to him interjected, how come he didn't see the Beijing jersey, this slightly funny sentence sounds a bit heartfelt.
At present, Zeng Fanbo's ownership in the CBA belongs to the Beijing Shougang team, but last year he did not stay in China, chose to play in the American Development League, hoping to enter the NBA through the draft, but this wish has been disappointed. However, now Zeng Fanbo represents the Pacers in the summer league, but the previous performance is more average, if you can't stay, the chances of returning to the CBA next season are greater. Far away, Zeng Fanbo also hopes to get the recognition of the parent team, perhaps only after he really put on the Beijing team uniform, can he gain a large number of fans.
