Recently, some media broke the news that the Sichuan men's basketball team has reached an agreement with Taiwanese striker Zeng Wending, and the veteran will represent the Sichuan men's basketball team in the CBA League in the new season.
Previously, Zeng Wending had played in the Shanghai men's basketball team for 7 years, because the Shanghai men's basketball team had been lacking in talent in the fourth position, so in these 7 years, he has been the main forward of the Shanghai men's basketball team.
But in these 7 seasons, his performance is very average, the best season is only 8.8 points per game, 6.3 rebounds, last season his personal data fell to 2.7 points per game, 2.1 rebounds, it can be said that it is already the data of marginal figures.
Therefore, it can be said that it is very unwise for the Sichuan men's basketball team to sign him at this time, who has reached the age of 34.
As a big forward with a height of only 2.04 meters and a relatively average bounce, Zeng Wending has always relied on strategy and shooting to gain a foothold in the league, but his offensive threat has decreased significantly in recent seasons, and the three-point shooting rate he relied on last season was as low as about 30%.
So the other side will not guard against his attack at all, only his response, which has also led to a sharp decline in his threat of response, averaging only 1.3 assists per game last season.
In the lineup of the Sichuan men's basketball team, the internal line already has young players Zuo Yuannian and Xu Yufeng, veterans Chen Xiaodong and Zhao Hang, plus the young general Yuan Zhentang selected from the draft this year, it can be said that the manpower has been very sufficient, this configuration has both potential players and veterans, it can be said that it is a new and old combination, very reasonable.
Therefore, Zeng Wending's joining has no meaning for Sichuan, but he will compress the team's playing time to Zuo Yuannian, which is not conducive to the growth of this star of hope, not to mention that in terms of combat strength alone, the current Zeng Wending is probably not as good as Zuo Yuannian.
If Zeng Wending's only role left now may be the role of teaching some on-field experience to young players as a veteran, but there is already a veteran like Chen Xiaodong in the Sichuan team, so this only role is also very chicken.
Of course, the Sichuan men's basketball team may not only consider the role on the court, but may also have a deeper meaning, but at present, this signing seems unwise.
