Throughout his career so far, Wang Zhelin has been labeled countless labels, from "genius boy", "Yao Ming's successor", to "grizzly bear legend", "competition soft-footed shrimp", or because of his repeated outrageous operations in last year's World Cup and Asian Games, he was ridiculed and called "Mrs. Wang". But it is undeniable that looking at the entire CBA league, he has been the best center player in the past 15 years, and being elected as the regular season MVP twice is the best illustration.
At the age of 18, in the first season of landing in the CBA, Wang Zhelin was able to average 20.3 points and 12.9 rebounds per game, and in the next 8 years, except for the 15~16 seasons trapped by injuries and only played 8 games, the remaining 7 seasons of the king averaged 20+10 data per game. On the one hand, as some fans have questioned, he cares too much about the stats and is suspected of "brushing", resulting in insufficient investment on the defensive end, but at the same time, it also proves his individual ability in scoring and rebounding.
The ultimate pursuit, perennial months, finally fruitful. On March 28, Beijing time, in the 49th round of the regular season focus battle of Xinjiang VS Shanghai, there were 55 seconds left in the first quarter of the game, the Shanghai team launched a counterattack, and foreign aid Bacon rushed to the basket with the ball, but unfortunately missed, at this time, I saw Wang Zhelin who was following the horse jumped up in the crowd, flew to make up the basket, and scored the 12th point of the game, and on the night of 30 years and 68 days, he surpassed Yi Jianlian, Wang Zhizhi, Liu Yudong, Zhu Fangyu and other legendary celebrities, becoming the "youngest Mr. 9,000" in CBA history.
Throughout the game, Wang Zhelin also showed his enough dominance, facing 2.14 meters of Li Yanzhe and 2.11 meters of Wu Guanxi, he shot 7 of 10 in the half, cut 15 points and 6 rebounds, helping the Shanghai team quickly establish a lead and enter the halftime break with 58-45. Although in the third quarter, the Xinjiang team had a slight momentum, but Dawang and Bacon quickly returned the color to help the Shanghai team steadily expand the lead, and finally won 115-93, a full 22-point difference, avenging the previous away defeat.
In terms of statistics, Wang Zhelin made 10 of 17 shots, scored 22 points and 8 rebounds, Bledsoe 23 points and 8 assists, Bacon 27 points, plus or minus as high as +18, Xinjiang team, Abdul Salamu 24 points and 19 rebounds, foreign aid Wigginton 23 points and 6 assists.
So far this season, Wang Zhelin still averaged 19.8 points, 10.6 rebounds and 1 block per game, with a shooting rate of 54%, and helped the Shanghai team temporarily rank 6th in the standings, but compared with Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi, the legends of the CBA and the national team, the king has never stepped on the stage of the finals, and has not even performed a representative performance in the playoffs. In the past, when I was in the Fujian team, I could also take the weak lineup, the quality of foreign aid was worrying, and there was no helper to use as an excuse, but this Shanghai team, foreign aid Bledsoe and Bacon were once well-known in the NBA, and the veterans were Ren Junwei, Luo Hanchen, Yan Pengfei was experienced, and Liu Zheng, Guo Haowen, and Yuan Tangwen were honest and upright.
