As everyone knows, from last year to the first half of this year, the Chinese men's basketball team has experienced a total of three major defeats. first lost the gold medal in the Asian Games at home, and then lost the Olympic ticket in the group stage of the World Cup. And in this year's Asian preliminaries, he lost to the Japanese team in an upset, setting a shameful record of 88 years. For the Chinese men's basketball team, such a result is very bad, and many fans feel very disappointed and even gradually lose confidence in Chinese basketball.
This also led to a very dismal situation for All-Star Weekend ticket sales after this game, triggering a series of chain reactions. Therefore, for Yao Ming and the Chinese Basketball Association, if he wants to improve the strength level of the men's basketball team in the future, it is estimated that he can only embark on the same path as the Chinese men's football team.
Just recently, the Chinese men's national basketball team received good news, there is a Chinese player known as Xiao Yao Ming, who has achieved a very good performance in the recent NCAA, which has made many fans very excited. If there is an opportunity to naturalize this player, it will undoubtedly be a major benefit for the Chinese men's basketball team.
According to media reports, Zhou Zhihao, a post-00 Canadian Chinese center, recently won one of the NCAA Player of the Best Awards - Naismith Award. This award is a very important award in the NCAA, and it is a testament to a player's outstanding performance in the league. You know, Zhou Zhihao has won this major award for two consecutive years, and from the perspective of historical achievements, he is the third person in NCAA history to win this award for two consecutive years. It can be said that he not only set his own personal record, but also set a new record for the best results achieved by a Chinese player in the NCAA league, which is very remarkable.
Looking back on his performance in recent games, Zhou Zhihao's results have undoubtedly dazzled many fans. According to statistics, in the past five games, Zhou Zhihao has led Purdue University to win all the way to the finals, and then he will face the finals on April 9 to attack the championship. In the previous five games, he scored a total of 140 points and 79 rebounds, and the average data was as high as 20 points to 30 points, which is very terrifying. In two of his best games, he scored 40 points and 16 rebounds in one game and 30 points and 21 rebounds in the other. From such data, it can be seen that Zhou Zhihao's dominance in the entire NCAA is very terrifying, basically beating up European and American players in the same position.
No wonder many fans have a lot of fantasies about this Chinese player, if he can be naturalized as a member of the Chinese men's basketball team, he will be able to succeed Yao Ming to lead the Chinese men's basketball team back to the top. From the perspective of personal characteristics, Zhou Zhihao is very similar to Yao Ming in terms of playing style and personal characteristics, with a very soft feel and good at finishing in the penalty area. Last year, Zhou Zhihao was also selected into the first team of the United States and the first team of the top ten leagues, and his strength is very good.
However, it was previously reported by the media that Zhou Zhihao has no plans to naturalize the Chinese men's basketball team for the time being, but I believe that with the passage of time, it is entirely possible that his thoughts will change, and I hope that Yao Ming and the Basketball Association will do a good job from it.
