This summer, Xu Jie can enter the CBA league, and because he is not in an international competition, he can play with the Guangdong men's basketball team. On the first game day, Xu Jie showed his super ability, only two minutes of rest, but in the 46 minutes he played, he shot 15 of 28 and 9 of three-pointers, scoring 47 points, 9 rebounds and 1 assist. However, despite Xu Jie's brilliant performance, Guangdong lost the match 94-99.
Judging from the time Xu Jie played, the number of shots, and the number of assists, the other players in Guangdong played relatively average. This summer, Guangdong should have been a time for young talents to show their talents, relying on the extraordinary performance of Xu Jie, a veteran, to support the team. As a post-00s player, this is very rare.
The performance of young talents has not been satisfactory, which has also cast a shadow on the future of the Guangdong men's basketball team. If Guangdong wants to become a champion, more young people must stand up, take on more responsibilities and bear more pressure. However, in the summer game, due to the lack of youth players, the future of the Guangdong men's basketball team became uncertain.
Compared with Guangdong Hongyuan, neighboring Guangzhou won 93-56 against Tianjin. In this battle, Wang Quanze, who had high hopes, finally appeared, but his sense of existence was very low. In the last 12 minutes of play, Wang Quanze scored only 2 points, hit 1 free throw, scored 1 point, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 turnover, 1 foul, which made his form decline.
Wang Quanze, Xu Jie and Guo Haowen were once known as the three pillars of the Chinese youth national team, and Wang Quanze is recognized as a future hopeful star. He has been in American high school since he was 14 years old, and he was ranked 45th on ESPN's National High School Power Forward Rankings in 2018.
Wang Quanze is also a member of the NCAA, and he was already a member of the team at the University of Pennsylvania, averaging 8.5 points, 3.6 rebounds, and an assist in his freshman year. However, due to knee injuries and disease outbreaks, his life at school has been unsatisfactory. He did not return to the team until he left Guangzhou.
Last season, Wang Quanze was supposed to play his first game of his career, but his knee injury forced him to accept an injury. And now, the first game of the summer has officially kicked off his CBA career. Although he didn't play well in the first round, he was happy to be back on the field.
In addition to Wang Quanze, another player who has attracted wide attention is Li Kyle in the current NBA. According to China Newsweek, Li Kyle will make his country's debut when he will hold the World Federation Cup in Shenzhen on August 20. In the game between the Chinese basketball team and Serbia, Li Kyle, as a completely different player from the Timberwolves, will be with his rival, Joseph, his rival in the NBA Finals this season.
Although Li Kyle's first appearance will not be until mid-August, he will join the Chinese men's basketball team in late July and join them in training camps. The main thing is to integrate him into this squad as soon as possible and get acquainted with this squad. Anyway, you won't be at the top right away at the beginning, so it will take some time to get used to it.
Lee Kyle is a star in the NBA, and his ability is beyond doubt. He has a good figure and his arms are long, which allows him to be a power forward in Chinese basketball, while also being a key figure in connecting inside and out. He also has good ball control and good organizational skills, and in a sense, he can solve the problem of the lack of dribbling ability of the Chinese men's basketball team in the front court.
When Li Kaier became an American citizen, Qiao Shuai, the club manager of the Chinese basketball club, handed him the players' costumes and held talks with him. According to Song Xiang, a famous basketball media in China, Li Kyle even pushed off the American dream team, just to join the Chinese men's basketball team. This shows that Li Kyle already has a strong sense of the country, and his joining will bring great help to Chinese basketball.
