After three rounds of fierce first round of the playoffs, the Shanghai men's basketball team advanced to the top 8 of the playoffs 2:1. The playoffs proved that the team's inner core Wang Zhelin is the key and soul of the Shanghai team's promotion, and it also proves that Wang Zhelin, who is almost 30 years old, is still the top interior of the CBA.
需要重新认识王哲林的内线价值
The Shenzhen men's basketball team eliminated Beikong because of the advantages of Salinjie and Shen Zijie; Zhejiang Guangsha was promoted because Hu Jinqiu was a pillar on the inside; and the Guangzhou men's basketball team advanced because Guo Kai and Jiao Boqiao withstood the attack of Yang Hansen of the Qingdao team. The same is true for the Shanghai men's basketball team, Wang Zhelin played an absolute role as the core of the interior, averaging 14 points, 10.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.3 steals per game!
Because of Wang Zhelin's existence, the Shanghai men's basketball team has the initiative in offense and defense, and it has controlled the rhythm of the 48-minute game in its own hands. The opponent Beijing BAIC has no advantage in the inside, so it has to create offensive space through a lot of runs and passes, which is much less efficient!
王哲林仍是CBA顶级内线球星
Before the start of this season's CBA, the outside world once thought that Wang Zhelin had grown older and was not as good as before, and was evaluated by the outside world as a second-rate CBA star. However, after the start of the season, Wang Zhelin can still contribute 20+10 data in the regular season, and is the local core of the Shanghai men's basketball team in the CBA. The first round of the playoffs shows that Wang Zhelin's role and power belong to the first-rate level of the CBA, and it is not something that young insiders such as Fan Ziming can compete with.
Therefore, the Chinese men's basketball team should also reassess the role and value of Wang Zhelin.
