Today, the Chinese Basketball Association announced the latest men's basketball training list.
Lin Wei, the defender of the Tongxi team, although the voice was very high, but in the end he unfortunately lost the election.
The CBA debut is one of the brightest superrookies this season.
He played in 26 games and averaged 16 points per game, second only to Peterson and Achul in the team.
Yesterday against Beikong, Lin Wei even hit a career-high 35 points and topped Weibo sports hot search.
The style of play is full of spirituality, young but mature, 19-year-old Lin Wei has become a rising star of Chinese basketball.
In previous interviews, Xi Relijiang even bluntly said that he has the potential to challenge the NBA.
And journalists from all walks of life, including opponents, have mostly praised it.
But why did such a talented newcomer fall short of this training list?
On the whole, Lin Wei is indeed very strong, and he is the best among domestic defenders at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.
However, this does not mean that he is perfect, and the reason why he was not selected is based on two personal feelings.
First, Lin Wei's positioning is not accurate enough, the point guard is tall, but the court is a fractional style of play, and the shooting is not stable.
Among the players called up by the national team, the organizational defender is Zhao Jiwei, and the quarterback position is also Wu Qian, who has won the MVP.
In Tongxi, Lin Wei enjoys unlimited fire rights and can play freely.
But on the international stage, what reason does he have to convince the coaching staff to give him the right to play singles with the ball?
Second, Lin Wei's confrontation ability is still a big problem.
Although in the CBA league, Tongxi's coaching staff has repeatedly sent him to defend against foreign aid, but the effect is not as good as expected.
The speed can indeed keep up, but in the state of physical contact, it is often at a loss.
As we said earlier, in the international arena, Lin Wei is likely to be in trouble finding an offensive role.
And once he can't contribute on the defensive end, isn't this place equivalent to waste?
The failure to be selected for training is not the point, after all, Lin Wei is only 19 years old.
As long as he is willing to continue to sweat off the field, the national team will one day have his place.
