Recently, the Chinese men's basketball team has ended all the training and game tasks this summer, returned to China for rest, and players and coaches have to start preparing for the new season of the CBA League.
But at the same time, there are some young players who have NBA dreams and want to challenge themselves. For this, in fact, CBA teams are generous, they will choose to pre-register players, allowing them to challenge overseas leagues, but also retain the qualification to return to the CBA league to play halfway.
At present, Zhang Zhenlin and Guo Haowen have been pre-registered by their CBA parent teams Liaoning and Shanghai. But Guo Haowen is still working hard in the United States, and Zhang Zhenlin has chosen to return. Yesterday's news, Zhang Zhenlin has landed at Guangzhou Baiyun Airport, is currently undergoing a closed physical examination, and can return to the Liaoning team to report to the new season of the CBA League when everything is fine.
This summer, Zhang Zhenlin helped Liaoning basketball win the second CBA championship in team history, decided to challenge the NBA, not only represented the Phoenix Suns in this year's NBA Summer League, but also sought opportunities to compete in the NBA Development League. In a previous interview, Zhang Zhenlin said that he felt closer and closer to the NBA dream.
But what I didn't expect was that Zhang Zhenlin has now chosen to return instead of continuing to pursue his dreams, which really makes people feel a little surprised. Perhaps, Zhang Zhenlin really failed to find a more suitable opportunity, and his process of finding a job in the NBA Development League was not smooth, and he could not get a better position in the team, so he chose to give up.
Of course, the fans welcome Zhang Zhenlin's return, but they hope that he can take advantage of his youth to challenge his limits and exercise outside, which is beneficial and harmless for Chinese basketball. The CBA league has proven that the level is limited, can not bring more improvement to the player, if you want to improve or have to go outside.
