The Shanghai men's basketball team selected Tang Zihao with the ninth pick in the first round of the 2016 CBA Draft, and Tang Zihao, who was once the second Lin in the media article, was once known as Jeremy Lin's successor, was attracted much attention because he played amateur leagues with a single score of 40+ during high school in the United States, but....
Quote an article from the Internet
Tang Zihao, a sophomore in high school, has not been given much playing time this season, and he has caused quite a stir in the basketball media circles on both sides of the Pacific (it is strange that he did not play, how did he cause a sensation?). )。
Tang Zihao already has his own collection of YouTube videos, and it is the title of this series of videos that has satisfied the appetite of the media and prompted me to finally make up my mind to rush from Los Angeles to Wilson's Mouth.
"6'3" high school point guard Tang Zihao, the next Jeremy Lin or better?"
"Aaubu Williams' Tang Zihao – 2011 4 Lunar Exploration Video – Jeremy Lin's School of Mistakes"
"15-year-old point guard Tang Zihao will be the next Jeremy Lin! 6'3", excellent bounce, skillful dribbling, with a wide field of vision! ”
Tang Zihao became acquainted with basketball because of Yao Ming, grew up in Jiangsu, and liked to watch Yao Ming and the Rockets game since he was a child. Like other motivated children, Tang Zihao will imitate Yao Ming's footsteps on the court (averaging less than 3 points per game in his career, what are the footsteps?). )。
Hit a three-pointer (one of the few gifs)
He is faster than other children, jumps higher, is the most outstanding on the field, and when he is 8 years old, no matter where Tang Zihao goes, he will carry a basketball with him.
Initially, his parents hoped that he would choose other interests, but Tang Zihao did not agree. "I watch basketball every day, just like my job. After school, I would go straight home and watch rocket games online.
Sometimes I wouldn't even be able to eat because I was watching the fourth quarter, which made my father crazy, but I just couldn't stop. I really love watching them play, it's crazy. ”
The above is the myth about Tang Zihao, netizens and media believe that he is comparable to Jeremy Lin, because although his team is ncaa d1, but the level is not high. He played a total of 20 minutes in NCAA, and the data was negligible, which is exactly the focus that people overlook.
In fact, at that time, the understanding of American college basketball was insufficient, you see now casually find a high school student in the United States, a few star high school students, the score is clear at a glance, before Tang Zihao had this thing, completely did not report how much he was in the United States, a few star high school students, basically no one questioned.
Grabbed a rebound from Han Dejun's hand
He was then selected by Shanghai through the draft and played for Shanghai for 4 seasons, he is an excellent double guard with excellent physical confrontation and bouncing ability.
On December 19, 2016, in the Shanghai away match against Shanxi, Tang Zihao played 13 minutes for Shanghai, scoring 7 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, making his career CBA debut.
In the 2016-2017 season, he played 15 games for Shanghai, averaging 2.3 minutes per game and averaging 1 point per game. He will leave the big shark and go to a new place to continue his dream.
Tang Zihao, a genius in the United States with a CBA water dispenser administrator, was deliberately created by the media, and there are several points worth explaining:
The reason why Tang Zihao was pinned high hopes on by many Tiger Poker netizens at that time, in addition to his team momentum, an important reason was in his special status.
In those years, it was the climax of the domestic media's frenzied attack on the Chinese basketball system (the cultural circle has German sewers, Japanese craftsman spirit, India is very peaceful, beautiful, the crime rate is very low...), most netizens were not so rational, recognized the superiority and necessity of the system, so they were taken to the rhythm.
Subjectively, it is urgent to hope that Players like Tang Zihao, who grew outside the system, can shine and "punch in the face" of the "decadent and backward" system of Chinese basketball. So to say anything is a hero of the times.
Jeremy Lin Rockets and Knicks averaged 15 points per game, and Tang Zihao has only become a rival to Jeremy Lin in his life in the circle of friends, Baijia, qq space and other media.
