On November 1, Beijing time, former Beijing Shougang post-00 player Zeng Fanbo ushered in his second game in the NBA Development League Ignition Team. After playing 20 minutes, he had 7 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists and 1 steal. And his own debut was 7 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks, down a bit.
Some domestic media people have criticized Zeng Fanbo's performance, and pointed out that Zeng Fanbo needs to improve his personal data before he can hope to land in the dream NBA league.
Mai Suifeng, a well-known media person, said on social platforms that the data of Zeng Fanbo's second game was not enough to see.
His original words were: if you want to play from a low-level league to a high-level league, brushing point data is the most basic operation. Zeng Fanbo spent 20 minutes in the second game with 7 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists and 1 steal, which was not enough. Don't think about the ball, don't think about winning, don't think about the team, think about your own rebounds, blocks and steals, get the data in hand, and the NBA scouts will naturally pay attention to you. Again, selfishly, I'm now thinking about my future.
Zeng Fanbo, who was born in 2003, is only 18 years old this year, but he himself has been playing in all levels of the United States for nearly 4 years. Compared with other domestic basketball players, Zeng Fanbo's starting point is not low.
This year, Zeng Fanbo signed a contract with Shougang and joined the ignition team of the NBA Development League. And such a team, before Zeng Fanbo joined, almost no one in China knew.
In the first 2 games, Zeng Fanbo played 20 minutes. But he only had 14 points, nine rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks. Such data is obviously not good enough. Zeng Fanbo's goal is not only to play in the development alliance.
Unlike Zhou Qi, Zeng Fanbo played in the high school league in the United States for three years, and the language must be passed. But his stats in the development league's second game were not as good as his debut.
Zeng Fanbo's height reached 2 meters 11, and with his talent, he should not only get 1 rebound.
Although the words spoken by insiders are a bit difficult to hear, in fact, the development of the NBA league is to train young players and find status for veterans. In the team, everyone only pays attention to their own stats, and the only person who can pass the ball may be the point guard. As for the team's results, it is a problem that the absolute main force in the team needs to think about.
Wheat Feng did not emphasize Zeng Fanbo's scoring, but focused on defensive data such as rebounds and blocks. And these are also the criteria for NBA teams to select internal lines.
Unlike the CBA and NBA, there is a great competitive relationship between the players of a team in the development league. Everybody wants to sign the NBA and get a big contract. Even if it is only a one-year contract, its income can increase several times or more.
Last season, Jeremy Lin scored nearly 20 points, 6.5 assists (fourth in the league) and shooting more than 50 percent from the development league. But even so, no NBA team is willing to sign him.
What Zeng Fanbo needs to do is to pocket every rebound in the backcourt and try to block every shot of the opponent. And only by grabbing the rebound in the backcourt domineeringly can we really get the trust of our teammates.
