Seriously, this season's CBA league is pretty good.
Although Zhou Qi and Liu Chuanxing traveled to the Australian NBL League, many foreign aid could not enter in time.
However, the CBA game of the all-Chinese class has brought a lot of highlights, such as Ding Yanyu's official comeback after three years and transformation into a reliable pitcher.
Another example is that many newcomers "grab power" and occupy the main position.
Li Yiyang delivered 13 assists in a single game in Fujian, Yu Jiahao averaged two doubles per game in Zhejiang, and Liao Sanning became the person who knew how to handle the ball best in Beijing Control.
But there is another player that attracts great attention, that is, Qingdao's 225 cm tall center Gao Shiao.
Gao Shi'ao is not a rookie who has been promoted to the first team this year, he has reached the second year of his career.
However, Gao Shiao's presence last season was too low, and he played very little, so there were no highlight moments to remember.
In fact, the progress of this young man is really obvious, and it can be seen only from the data.
In his rookie year, Gao Shi'ao played only two starts in 17 appearances, contributing 2.5 points and 2.6 rebounds in an average of 9.8 minutes per game, and the most eye-catching was 1.2 blocks.
However, Qingdao itself is not a traffic team, the attention is low, the most exposed is the national brand center Liu Chuanxing, who will go to see a substitute who averages less than 10 minutes per game?
Gao Shi'ao proved with practical actions that his energy is more than that.
This season, Gao Shi'ao did not have Liu Chuanxing in front of him, and his average playing time per game increased to 22.6 minutes, starting twice in the five games that have been played.
The playing time has doubled, and Gao Shiao's various statistics have improved significantly.
He averaged 9.6 points per game, almost four times as many as a rookie.
In addition, Gao Shiao was able to pick up 6.8 rebounds, send 2.8 blocks, and hit 2.8 goals on 3.6 shots on the free throw line.
Qingdao continues to build a "no-fly zone" on the inner line, which is even more deterrent than the previous punctuality of Liu Chuanxing Town.
What made Gao Shi'ao famous in the first battle was the October 18 match against Guangdong.
Playing against the defending champions is a few of the youngsters, because this kind of competition has a high degree of attention and many people watching.
Qingdao was defeated without suspense, but Gao Shi'ao made everyone remember him.
With nearly 32 minutes off the bench and a double-double of 14 points and 10 rebounds on 6-of-9 shooting, Gao Shi'ao once became the sharpest weapon for Qingdao and Guangdong to bite the score.
Sending 4 blocks in a single game, Zeng Fanri, who played extremely freely this season, frequently suffered under Gao Shi'ao's body.
Yes, it was "under the body", because Gao Shi'ao was really much taller than Zeng Fanri, and he opened his arms to cover the sky.
In fact, to see whether a center is excellent, it mainly depends on whether the defensive end is smart enough, but also to see whether the offensive end dares to make moves, whether it is coherent and confident.
Facing Guangdong, Gao Shi'ao directly asked for the ball in the low position, and singled Zeng Fanri or Ren Junfei without any fear.
Qingdao coach Wu Qinglong is actually very satisfied with this young man, saying that Gao Shi'ao can be a little harder and more confident.
Facing Zhejiang and the two-double-double center Yu Jiahao on October 23, Gao Shiao also performed well, contributing 10 points and 6 rebounds.
In an attack, Gao Shi'ao even deducted Yu Jiahao, who was 221 centimeters tall, to play 2+1.
Yu Jiahao is regarded by many media and reporters as a high-quality newcomer of "Little Yao Ming", and Gao Shi'ao is hard enough!
Against Shenzhen last night, Qingdao still lost, but Gao Shiao shot 6 of 10, got 15 points and 8 rebounds on the head of the national team's interior shen Zijie, and sent 2 blocks.
Shenzhen foreign aid Booker wants to score in front of Gao Shiao, and he wants to greatly improve his shooting arc.
This summer, Qingdao failed to complete the renewal of Liu Chuanxing's contract, who switched to the Australian NBL League.
As for the reason for Liu Chuanxing's departure, there are many opinions, and the more reliable statement is that Qingdao did not give a sufficiently sincere renewal amount.
Liu Chuanxing is an active All-Star and a national player, why does Qingdao operate like this?
Probably because they really have the confidence to know that Gao Shi'ao has a certain strength and is worth cultivating.
In addition, Qingdao also hides a number of big men with a height of more than 210 centimeters in the second team, and this team may have extremely strong interior strength in the near future.
Many fans feel that being able to enter the NBA is a good player.
Admittedly, entering the NBA is the best proof of a basketball player's strength, but he can play a piece of the sky without entering.
The Chinese men's basketball team has been relying on the inner line for nearly 20 years, but after Yi Jianlian seems to be a bit broken, Zhou Qi can only be said to be unsatisfactory.
Without using the wrong word, "poor" means "barely satisfactory".
Unconsciously, Shen Zijie is also a mesozoic player, and the future still depends on the growth of Yu Jiahao and Gao Shiao, and these two post-00s interior lines are worth paying attention to.
