After the defeat of the men's basketball World Cup in 19 years, the Chinese men's basketball team is also beginning a non-stop blood exchange plan, and young players have gradually taken over the banner around the veteran and begun to take on heavy responsibilities. In the first stage of the CBA, which is currently in full swing, in the case that most foreign aid has not yet returned, these young domestic players have also ushered in plenty of display space, and the performance of two "post-00" defenders this season is indeed eye-catching, if they can really get a good training, it is not without a chance to fight towards the national team in the future. The two potential rising stars are 20-year-old North Point defender Liao Sanning and 21-year-old Shanghai defender Li Tianrong.
Both are promoted to the first team this year, first of all, let's talk about liao sanning, the old horse to give high hopes of the love of liao sanning, this as early as the national youth period has been famous in the backcourt of the new star, in this season just promoted to a team to assume the responsibility of becoming the core of the backcourt, because Prince Rui went south to Tongxi, the veteran Sun Yue chose to retire, plus the small foreign aid Joseph Yang also left the team this season, North Control's originally wealthy point guard position, returned to the pre-liberation overnight, Originally, Lao Ma wanted to put all his hopes on Zhang Fan, who has played well in the past few seasons, but in the case of the first game of boldly using Liao Sanning to usher in a good effect, he also simply arranged it into the main rotation lineup.
The first game of Shandong men's basketball team, Liao Sanning cut 25 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, although there were 8 mistakes, but in the background of such a perfect report card, it is not so important, although in the second game of the feeling of sluggish, 7 shots only 1, but he sent 11 assists, it can be seen that Liao Sanning This child's ball quotient is still very high, know how to help the team in other ways in the case of poor hand feeling, after having 4 consecutive games to score double performance, Liao Sanning is also regarded as a big favorite for the best rookie, but in recent games, Liao Sanning seems to have hit the rookie wall, and the shooting feel is lost again, but fortunately, he can still play a residual heat in the organization of tandem. After eight games, Liao Sanning has gained 30.4 minutes of playing time, during which time he can average 13.3 points, 4.9 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game, which is enough for a first-year freshman who is only 20 years old. The rookie wall he is currently facing is also a challenge that his career needs to overcome, as long as he can survive it, Liao Sanning's future is absolutely unlimited.
There is Liao Sanning in the north, there is Li Tianrong, a young man who stayed in the West, the 21-year-old Li Tianrong, who was once a member of the Shougang Eagle Program to send abroad to stay in the Ocean, after receiving a scholarship at the Dem Sports Institute in Florida, he also entered the Australian Global College in the NBA, in the 19-year period, Li Tianrong joined the New Zealand saboteur of the Australian NBL League, but he did not get many opportunities there, and finally he chose to return to China last year, and signed a contract with the Shanghai men's basketball team, and now the youth team has been trained for a year. At that time, in the national youth competition of U19, Li Tianrong was even more double-happy, helping the team win the championship at the same time, he also won the MVP award of the event.
And this season Li Tianrong officially entered the CBA, and fortunately in the first game in Shanghai and Tianjin to get 12 minutes of playing time, although his hand was not good at the time, only 6 points in 7 shots and 2, but his hard work on the defensive end, coupled with the lethality of the basket, also impressed the coaching staff. After being inexplicably refrigerated for two games, Li Tianrong suddenly made a comeback in the focus battle against Guangdong, scoring 5 points, it was his courage to fight, but also let Li Chunjiang begin to give Li Tianrong a certain amount of playing time, in the latest game with Qingdao, Li Tianrong was a career-high 26 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals of the all-around data.
In these 7 games, Li Tianrong averaged 10 points, 2.1 rebounds and 2 assists for Shanghai per game, in addition to the efficiency of the offensive end, he was often given the responsibility of restricting the opponent's key players at the defensive end. To be able to have such a performance in his first season with the CBA, Li Tianrong is indeed very lucky. And these two post-00 players, if they can sink their hearts to accept the experience, the future banner of the Chinese men's basketball team is not impossible for them to take over.
