This summer, the Shanghai Knicks continued to play the magic of "part of the cash", with a near harvest in each position of the team to upgrade and reinforce.
However, it seems that there is still a lack of a "brain" that controls the rhythm and distributes the ball on the field.
Just recently, the Shanghai team seems to have found their ideal dealer.
It is not Zhao Jiwei, who has passed the scandal with them for two seasons, and Sun Minghui has not followed the footsteps of his mentor Li Chunjiang. The answer to this number one position is Yuan Tangwen, who played for the Sichuan men's basketball team last season.
It is reported that he will join the Shanghai men's basketball team on loan.
The Fujian men's basketball team, the biggest "hero" who helped the revival of the Sharks, also solved the backcourt problem that has plagued the team for several years this summer.
In this year's draft, the Fujian team, as everyone expected, selected the Li Yiyang they were familiar with the sixth sign.
Coincidentally, Yuan Tangwen and Li Yiyang, two players who came just right for their respective teams, are from Xiamen University.
Xiamen University's two generations of super defenders, similar growth trajectories, their own wonderful star road.
Fame at a young age is a common label attached to Yuan Tangwen and Li Yiyang.
A high school period of fame, before graduation, he was recruited by Xiamen University and trained as a cornerstone.
A person who has held the title of "Guangdong's first high school student" for many years, until now, there are still rumors in the rivers and lakes that he has beaten Xu Jie. (However, I have recently denied this.) ）
They have also been favored by the CBA professional team, but they all chose to decline, and finally met in Xiamen University.
Here, Yuan Tangwen and Li Yiyang form a double gun in the backcourt.
Attacking and defending, they not only became a frightening presence for their opponents, but also became one of the strongest combinations in CUBA.
At that time, Li Yiyang was fully exerting his talent on the offensive end, strong and diverse.
Li Yiyang has a good physical fitness, the height is not dominant, but the body is strong.
The defensive end is good at giving pressure to the opponent, and the prejudgment is quite in place, that is, the steal will be more fierce.
However, there were also many fans who were not optimistic about his CBA prospects because of this.
Gambling-style defense, used on professional players, does not necessarily take advantage.
Yuan Tangwen is a calm stadium commander, telling everyone what is the top CUBA organizational defender all the time.
During college, Yuan Tangwen only took four seasons to break gugani's record of assists for more than ten years in 6 seasons.
Since then, he has landed in the CBA with the title of Cuba's all-time assist king.
After Yuan Tangwen graduated from Xiamen University, Li Yiyang took up the heavy responsibility of the backfield, and gradually began to transform and upgrade, in the entanglement and inadaptability.
In the past two years, Li Yiyang has continuously improved his understanding in the first position, and his scoring ability has also been steadily improved.
In his final year at CUBA, he averaged 14.4 points, 4.7 rebounds and 9.4 assists per game.
While becoming the current CUBA assist king, he led Xiamen University back to the national final four and finally won the third place.
Although he became the assist king last season, Li Yiyang's strength on the offensive end was the most memorable.
In many games, fans seem to see him two years ago, and he has no scruples about omnipotence on the offensive end.
Of course, this does not leave the growth of young teammates, so that Li Yiyang is liberated, just like when Yuan Tangwen was still alive.
In this way, Li Yiyang can put more energy into the offensive end, and he can revitalize the team from the inside out when he rushes up.
It's really a virtuous circle, not only making his own data more comprehensive, but also greatly improving the data of his teammates.
Next season, Li Yiyang will land in the CBA, and Yuan Tangwen will also start his new journey in the CBA at Shanghai Beach.
Xiamen University's pair of backcourt double guns, two generations of super guards, are also about to meet on the CBA field.
For all Xiamen university fans, this face, how wonderful!
For the CBA, what kind of magic will they each play?
