In the last round of the CBA League, Zhang Fan scored a career scoring record of 33 points. On the afternoon of October 30, against Tongxi, Zhang Fan once again scored a team-high 26 points, helping the team achieve its first consecutive win of the season. Coming to the North Control men's basketball team for 4 seasons, he has been upgraded from a substitute player who averages only 7-8 points per game to an absolute scoring core that can average 24 points per game, and the data can be comparable to any domestic player in the league, even compared to the data of foreign aid.
At the press conference after defeating the Tongxi men's basketball team, North Control coach Marbury praised Zhang Fan for "hard work and fruitful results", to the effect that "the sword blade comes out of the grinding, and the plum blossom fragrance comes from the bitter cold". The old horse grew a sigh of relief at the beginning of the press conference, which shows that he still has a lingering feeling about the process and results of the game that beat the Tongxi team. He believes that the team did not play enough in the first three quarters, giving the opponent too many opportunities to shoot from the outside, but the number of mistakes in this game has decreased compared to the previous games, and the players have been able to correct themselves in the decisive quarter and not give up, which is more gratifying to him. After summarizing the team's performance, Marbury praised Zhang Fan by name, "The play of 'Kobe' (Zhang Fan's nickname in the team) has been seen by everyone, he is constantly improving every season, and the role of the key moments for the team is very obvious, whether it is technical or psychological endurance is first-class." His success comes from hard work in the offseason, his achievements and outstanding performances are no accident, one point of hard work and one point of gain, he will always be the good player who trains hard without complaint. ”
Zhang Fan himself was very humble, "Thank you to the old horse and teammates for their trust in me, they passed the ball to me, I just did what I should do, just threw the ball in." ”
Zhang Fan said lightly, in fact, on the field of play, under the tight defense of the opponent, especially in the case of the score behind, it is not easy to shoot the key ball without dropping the chain. Whether it was a 3-point shot of 7 of 11 shots against Shandong in the last game, or a 3-point shot of 6 of 12 shots against Tongxi in this game, Zhang Fan has many shots to hit the outside line, which are masterpieces when the team is in a headwind, chasing points or needs to stabilize the situation, and there are few icing on the cake. In the past four seasons, Zhang Fan's average playing time has increased from 25 minutes to 39 minutes, the average score per game has changed from 7.7-24.1 points, and the 3-point shot has gone from less than 1 shot per game to the current average of 5 3-pointers per game and 47% long-range shooting rate, which all condense his hard-working sweat. In the 7 games that have ended this season, in addition to the 17 points against Jilin team, Zhang Fan scored more than 20 points in the other 6 games, which is definitely the level and ability of a foreign aid, no wonder the old horse praises him. Of course, in the weekday training, the North Control men's basketball team often plays the occasion of shooting and winning the prize game, Zhang Fan is always the one with the highest hit rate and the most private rewards from Marbury, and his excellent performance in the game is worthy of his own hard work, and he is also worthy of the trust and bonus of the old horse. This is also the reason why lao Ma calls Zhang Fan "Kobe", because in the North Control Team, Zhang Fan is equivalent to Kobe, and his personal idol is also Kobe.
After winning the first consecutive win of the season, Beijing Control has gradually taken off, looking forward to the next game, Zhang Fan and the team can continue to work hard to achieve the goal of reaching the playoffs.
