Beijing News (reporter Liu Chen) In the 2021 CBA Draft, Wang Yixiong, an NCAA player from Beijing No. 4 Middle School, became the "Champion Show" and was selected by the Fujian men's basketball team. He bluntly said "lucky" at the scene, saying that he would accumulate step by step in the professional arena.

Wang Yixiong is 2.06 meters tall and weighs 108 kilograms, and is a strong player in the fourth and fifth positions. His basketball journey began in Spain, then at California State University, Fulton, to start the NCAA, playing 40 of 90 games for four years, averaging more than 10 minutes of playing time, scoring 3.1 points and 2 rebounds.

Wang Yixiong's physical advantage and confrontation ability are seen as a major advantage of his foothold in the CBA as a rookie, and at the same time he has a certain outside projection ability, and in the case of the NCAA affected by the epidemic, he has strengthened his three-point technique with his personal trainer to better adapt to the requirements of the CBA's fourth position. Some media have commented that Wang Yixiong is a strong version of Zhu Yanxi, who has a "tonnage" on the inside line and can project on the outside line, with a slower rate but a down-to-earth style.

After the Fujian team sent Wang Zhelin away, he won two rounds of draft picks from the Shanghai team and last year's "Zhuangyuanxiu" District Junxuan, but still needs to continue to strengthen the inside line, so Wang Yixiong, who has the ability to fight, has become a popular candidate for this year's Zhuangyuanxiu. It is reported that Wang Yixiong only participated in the Fujian team's trial training invitation. Judging from the final result, the two sides have reached an agreement before the draft. In the new season, the Fujian team will rely on two "Zhuangyuan Shows" to support the team's internal line.

At the talent conference, Wang Yixiong bluntly said that he was very lucky to be a "champion" and hoped to accumulate confidence step by step on the field through a positive attitude. He revealed that after a week of training with the Fujian team, he felt that the team had been greatly improved under the leadership of the new consultant Cui Wanjun, "I also like the atmosphere in the team very much. Wang Yixiong said that the new season will strive to take every step, "to help the Fujian team win every game, strive to improve themselves, and further learn professional basketball under the leadership of Cui." ”
