On the evening of January 5, the Xinjiang team defeated the Ningbo team 118-92 at home, and the starters of the Xinjiang team played very efficiently: Wu Guanxi scored 12 points on 4-of-5, Yu Dehao scored 6 points on 2-of-3, Abdusalam scored 16 points on 4-of-6, Qi Lin scored 20 points on 7-of-9, and Telles scored 25 points on 9-of-12.
But there were four bench players who were particularly inefficient, which dragged down the team's shooting percentage. Among them, Eli Fulati scored 4 points in 1 of 4, Tang Caiyu scored 2 points in 1 of 6, Huang Rongqi scored 2 points in 1 of 7, and the most ironclad was Sirzati, who shot 0 of 14, including 0 of 5 three-pointers, and scored zero in the whole game.
He was the team's top shot, but he was the only player in the team 12 who didn't score, and the fans were worried about him, but even in the garbage time when the defensive intensity dropped a lot, he still didn't hit a single goal and didn't score until the end of the game.
It's no surprise that Sirzati has played this kind of performance, he has never been a good offensive player, he has played 25 games so far this season, only one game has scored 10 points, and the rest of the games have not scored in double figures, he has averaged only 2.9 minutes, 2.5 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.1 blocks per game in 15.6 minutes of playing time, shooting just 29.6% from the field and 16.3% from three-point range.
This kind of statistic is a career low for most players, but it is a career high for Sirzati, who averaged 2.9 points, 2.5 rebounds per game, and shot 16.3% from three-point range, which is a career-high for him.
In 2019, the 18-year-old Silza was promoted to the first team of the Xinjiang men's basketball team, and only made 5 appearances in his rookie season, averaging 4.8 minutes of playing time per game, scoring 1.6 points, 0.6 rebounds, 0.4 assists and 0.4 steals, and shooting 36.4%.
In his second season, he played just one game, scoring two points on 1-of-2 shooting in one minute of garbage time. In his third season, he still hasn't been reused, and although he played 15 games, more than the previous two seasons combined, he played only 5.3 minutes, averaging only 1 point, 0.9 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.1 blocks per game, shooting just 25% from the field.
It wasn't until last season that he slowly became a rotation player, playing 20 games a season and increasing his playing time to 12.4 minutes, but still averaging a low scoring average, scoring just 2.7 points per game, shooting just 37.1 percent from the field and 12 percent from three-point range.
This season is the fifth season of his CBA career, and he has more opportunities than in previous seasons, but he averages only 2.9 points per game, and some points are still obtained in garbage time.
This behavior can also be seen that Sirzati is too eager to score, it is difficult to shoot the ball at other times, and he can only brush up on statistics in garbage time, so why can such a player with almost no offense survive in the CBA for so long?
On the one hand, he is still young and has room to rise, he was a player of the national youth team, and he had 17 points and 5 rebounds in the U16 Asian Cup against New Zealand, helping the Chinese national youth team to win the runner-up. In the same year, he also participated in the U17 Men's Basketball World Cup and also had a good performance, although his performance in the past few seasons has not been good, but at only 22 years old, he still has a lot of room for improvement, and it is still worth staying in the team to develop.
On the other hand, his defense is very good, and Yu Dehao in the Xinjiang team is a type of player, although the offense is terrible, but the defense is very good, he is not good at attacking, but the opponent does not want to attack, when the team needs to defend, he is still valuable, the offensive end can score is a gift, and the team does not expect him to score.
In the next few seasons, he may be able to develop offensive ability and become a player who is good both offensively and defensively, so that the Xinjiang team will earn, if he can't develop it, at least he can become a defensive giant, which is also the value of existence, which is why he can gain a foothold in the CBA.
