The Fujian men's basketball team finished the season with 17 wins and 35 losses, the fourth from the bottom of the league, and next season again has the advantage of five foreign players in the fourth quarter. For the Fujian men's basketball team, the biggest gain this season is the rookie Zou Yang, his outstanding performance at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends conquered the coaching staff, in the absence of the main core Chen Linjian, Zou Yang also provoked the team's pillars, slowly revealing the temperament of the team leader. So far this season, Zou Yang has played 50 games, averaging 31.4 minutes per game, contributing 13.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.6 steals, with a three-point shooting rate of 48.7%, 29.2%, and 77.2%.
Zou Yang's rookie season showed the potential of a super striker
Zou Yang was originally a popular rookie in last year's draft, but because of the lack of outside three-point projection, the draft prospects plummeted, and he was finally selected by the Fujian men's basketball team only in the fifth pick, but from the perspective of actual performance and ability, Zou Yang was seriously underestimated, and with his ability and performance, he was fully worthy of the identity of the champion.
After the second stage, Zou Yang did not choose to go home for the New Year in the offseason in order to further improve his three-point shooting ability, but stayed in Fujian for hard training, and he hoped that through his own efforts, he would continue to polish his skills and bring more help to the team. The hard work paid off, after the start of the third stage, Zou Yang continued to play highlight performances, and in the opening game against the Shanxi men's basketball team, Zou Yang hit 32 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 6 steals and 1 block, and the shooting rate of 12 of 22 in the game was also extremely high.
Compared with the previous two stages, Zou Yang's three-point shooting ability is becoming more and more stable, and he has a wonderful performance of 4 three-pointers in a single game against the Shenzhen men's basketball team, and the shooting rate is as high as 50%. In the game against the Tianjin men's basketball team, Zou Yang scored 26 points, 19 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks in 10 of 16 offensive and defensive data; against the Shandong men's basketball team, Zou Yang also contributed 24 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks in 10 of 16, these three games are Zou Yang's highest score this season, and the overall performance is not inferior to Chen Guohao.
Zou Yang has the strength to be selected for the national team
Zou Yang is a very low-key rising star, hardworking on the field, willing to start on the defensive end, and able to implement the tactical arrangements of the coaching staff well. In the CBA league where the small ball style is now prevalent, Zou Yang's all-round forward is very popular, he has done a very good job of grasping the offensive and defensive conversion, if he can practice his three-point projection in the future, Zou Yang is definitely the existence of a top striker, and he has the strength to be selected for further study in the national team.
