Recently, Abu's defeat has sparked a lot of discussion.
As the new MVP, he led the Xinjiang team to the finals and performed brilliantly, but he failed to enter the latest Chinese men's basketball training squad.
What's going on here?
Let's talk a little bit about Abu's story.
He used to be a high-profile player, but his recent situation has left many fans feeling embarrassed.
At one point, Abu suffered a torn ligament, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to his career.
Originally, he performed well in the No. 3 position, but injuries forced him to switch to the No. 4 position.
Although he is 2.03 meters tall, he is still an important role in the CBA, but his transformation has not been easy.
Last season, Abu's performance in the CBA can be said to be quite eye-catching.
He averaged 19 points, 10.2 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game and had a defensive efficiency of 102.1, which undoubtedly made him an excellent player in the league.
Despite this, in the Asian preliminary round earlier this year, Abu also showed his strength against the Japan men's basketball team.
He contributed 7 points and 9 rebounds in that game, second only to Hu Jinqiu and Hu Mingxuan.
His performances have made many people look forward to his future.
But the problem is that the biggest challenge for Abu is his three-point shooting.
He shot just 27.2 percent from three-point range in the regular season last season and even lower in the playoffs at 23.3 percent.
In the modern FIBA arena, the three-point shooting ability of a player at the No. 4 position is crucial, which is one of the reasons why shooters like Du Runwang can play consistently.
In contrast, Abu's three-point shooting percentage is clearly not ideal.
When many fans discussed Abu's performance online, some people said: "Abu's three-point shot was very accurate at the beginning, why is it like this now?" ”
Another netizen commented: "After he was injured, his performance was inevitably affected.
Although his current state is not as good as before, everyone can see his past glory. ”
There are also some fans who think: "Abu's three-point shot is not good, which is really disappointing."
Modern basketball is becoming more and more demanding on outside shots, and he really needs to solve this problem. ”
Abu's moments of glory were truly stunning.
At the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta, he averaged 14 points and 7.8 rebounds per game, shooting 53.8% from three-point range.
In the 2018-19 CBA, his three-point shooting rate was also close to 40%, which made him an important support for the team.
The impact of a torn ligament injury on Abu was huge, changing not only his style of play, but also his international career.
Even though he was looking forward to the Japan men's basketball team in the Asian preliminaries, the reality is that Abu is likely to only participate in future games as a spectator.
At the age of 28, he may already be facing the end of his national team career.
On the Internet, some fans expressed worries about Abu's future: "It's really not easy for him to fight again at his age."
Now that young players are rising fast, it will be a lot more difficult for him to return to the national team. ”
Some fans also expressed sympathy for his experience: "Everyone has seen Abu's previous efforts, and I hope he can find a new direction, whether it is to continue playing or transform into other jobs." ”
Abu's defeat came as a surprise to many fans, who have always had high expectations for him.
As a former star player, his performances have always been full of confidence.
Especially after Abu suffered a torn ligament, there is a lot of hope for his recovery.
At the height of Abu's glory, many people praised his performance.
At the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta, he had an impressive three-point performance, averaging 14 points and 7.8 rebounds per game, coupled with a whopping 53.8% three-point shooting rate, which made everyone look forward to his future.
Many fans already thought at that time that he would definitely become one of the core players of the Chinese men's basketball team.
A netizen who has been following Abu for a long time said: "Abu's performance in the Asian Games at that time was really outstanding! At that time, I thought that he would continue to shine in the future games, but I didn't expect to suffer from injuries so quickly. ”
Another fan said: "His performance in the CBA has also been very consistent, especially in the 2018-19 season, with a three-point shooting rate of nearly 40%, which shows that he has a strong outside shooting ability." ”
Although injuries have affected Abu's career, there is still confidence in his future.
Abu continued to perform well in the CBA last season, averaging 19 points, 10.2 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game.
One netizen commented: "Although Abu's current form is not as good as before, he has been working hard and we can't ignore his contributions."
Hopefully he can find his form in the next games. ”
However, some fans expressed regret over Abu's defeat.
They believe that Abu's three-point shooting is his biggest problem at the moment.
Abu shot just 27.2 percent from three-point range in the regular season last season and even lower in the playoffs at 23.3 percent.
In modern basketball, the ability to shoot from the outside is crucial for players at the No. 4 position, which is why shooters such as Du Runwang can play consistently.
One fan said on the forum: "Abu's three-point shooting percentage is not high, which makes him a big challenge in the modern FIBA arena.
If he can solve this problem, he will definitely win the favor of the national team again. ”
Another netizen expressed his understanding of Abu's three-point shooting problem: "It is difficult to return to the best level after the injury, especially the shooting hand feels a lot of impact.
Although Abu's three-point shooting performance is not as good as before, his interior offense and defense are still worthy of recognition. ”
This shows that although expectations for Abu are still high, they also understand the difficulties he faces.
Abu is also looking forward to the future of the competition.
He has said he hopes to continue to contribute to the team in the rematch of the Asian qualifiers.
With his omission from the latest training camp, many fans have begun to worry about whether his national team career is over.
One fan commented on social media: "It's really sad to see Abu not selected, his performances have always made me feel that he is an important member of the national team.
Hopefully, he will be able to adjust his form as soon as possible and find a new direction. ”
This also reflects the reality that the Chinese men's basketball team is undergoing new changes.
Veterans are gradually being replaced by younger players, and Abu's dismissal is a reflection of this trend.
Times are constantly changing, and the front waves will eventually be pushed to the beach by the back waves.
This is not only a personal challenge for Abu, but also a test for the development of the entire Chinese men's basketball team.
