The live footage of the 2021 draft focuses on a young man over and over again, he is wearing a suit and shoes, full of expectations, only looking forward to a high school, the spring breeze is proud, and the horse Is jinling, so unhappy.
However, contrary to expectations, Jiangsu Kendia, who he tried to train, picked out nbl defender Cui Xiaolong with the 4th pick in the first round, Luan Licheng, the opponent of the southeast quarter final of Cuba, was picked up by Beijing Shougang in the 5th round in the first round, and Fujian Xunxing took out Xiamen University defender Li Yiyang with the 6th pick in the first round...
Until the first round was all selected, he still did not hear his name, and his anxious and complicated mood seemed to overflow the screen. The first pick in the second round also belonged to Jiangsu, but the team chose to give up, which made his heart go to the throat, and maybe this year's draft will end here. Two minutes later, his name was pronounced, and Nanjing Tongxi selected him with the second pick in the second round.
Wu Tingjia did not raise his arms and cheer, but was just relieved.
The super guard of China University of Mining and Technology, cuba's historical three-point king, has scored 11 three-pointers in a single game, and has shot 270 three-pointers with a career shooting rate of 40.5%. The variety show "This Is a Slam Dunk" made him an Internet celebrity in the basketball world, and the controversy between mining university and Peking University in the quarterfinals once again made him the focus.
Like the slightly sad five-year CUBA career, Wu Tingjia's CBA starting point is also very low, the second round show is not optimistic, only three points, too short, people have a lot of doubts, but so what. In 2016, when he went from Baotou No. 33 Middle School to China University of Mining and Technology, no one thought he would become a cuba three-point king, and even people always thought that his three-point posture was slightly weird, and then he averaged 10 hours of training every day, accumulating day by day, and finally becoming a three-point king.
Only the strength that can crush the doubts is the strength, the Internet celebrity is not bad, but the Internet celebrity without the strength will inevitably have a day to show his feet, and Wu Tingjia's luck is that he is just a CBA Internet celebrity brigade. Last year, Huo Nan took office as the general manager of Tongxi, one of the former Five Tigers of the Austrian Gods, and later an Internet celebrity sportsman known for his cold humor, who changed his identity.
Huo Nan selected 4 players in one go at the 2020 CBA Draft, Jiao Engel Hu Yishan with the 6th pick, Yang Haozhe with the 26th pick, Liu Ziqi with the 6th pick in the second round, and Wang Ziqi with the 16th pick in the second round. Because of the unexpected selection of Yang Haozhe of Beijing Sport University, a senior of Wu Tingjia's sports internet celebrities, Tongxi was jokingly called the "internet celebrity brigade" by fans.
Tongxi's internet celebrity era is moving towards 2.0, and Huo Nan has selected 4 more people this year.
In the Internet celebrity era 1.0, Huo Nan reshuffled the cards for Tongxi, a team led by a heavy reinforcements to the top-paid backcourt Xi Relijiang, with 9 wins and 45 losses in the season, ranking second from the bottom. Although Sirelijiang won the assist king, Arnette Moldy is also a very good big foreign aid, but the foundation of Tongxi is too thin, and the small foreign aid Shaun Hill is not powerful, and it is difficult to escape after all.
However, although Tongxi's record is poor, it gives the players a lot of room to play. Wan Shengwei from a role player to the main rotation, averaging 9.2 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game, in the Jiangsu derby, he scored 21 points, 14 rebounds and 6 assists, including 8 rebounds in the frontcourt, And Hongyuan Xiaochu became the inside killer of his hometown Nanjing.
Qiao Wenhan, who is also a second-round show, averaged 10.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 0.9 steals per game last season, becoming a key veteran of Tongxi. Coupled with Xi Relijiang and Wan Shengwei, Tongxi tried his best to train the local main lineup in a very difficult environment, buying time for the youth training that was also recruited but could not stand up for the time being.
Yang Haozhe was the most important in 45 games, averaging 19.7 minutes per game, 6.9 points, 1.1 rebounds, 2 assists and 0.8 steals per game, and a career-high single-game 20 points against Liaoning. Giu engel also played 45 times, averaging 5 points and 3.8 rebounds per game in 14.4 minutes per game. Wang Ziqi also played in 38 games, averaging 4.1 points per game.
The 2.0 era means upgrading, and it has shown signs in the draft.
Zhao Baiqing of Peking University is also a popular cuba player on the Internet, he is an important member of the Peking University Dynasty, and even got the nickname "Old P" because he always takes MVP, that is, he is always mvp. Zhao Baiqing is an excellent instant combat force, all-round, has proved himself in cuba, and has also played well in the previous star sharp confrontation between CBA and Cuba University.
Compared with Jiao Engel, Zhao Baiqing became famous early and had rich experience in the competition. He has experienced the triple crown of Peking University, Tsinghua High School dominates the high school league, played the World University Games, just won the championship at the Student Games, and even played for the Shandong men's basketball team in the National Games. Joenger delivered 3.5 fouls in less than 15 minutes per game, losing much of it in experience.
Although general managers Huo Nan and Tongxi are both called Internet celebrities, Tongxi's draft is becoming more and more pragmatic, and after selecting Zhao Baiqing, they then choose Liu Dong, a center at Tsinghua University. Like Zhao Baiqing, Liu Dong is also a champion reaper, and the 2020 CUBA finals MVP, technically sound, is an excellent supplement to the team lineup.
After selecting two interior lines, the last two draft places of Tongxi were used on the defender.
Selected Wu Tingjia, he is a relatively strong scoring attribute of the backcourt, one hand three hundred steps through Yang, his combination with Xi Relijiang is worth looking forward to. Wu Tingjiake is not only able to shoot three points, he has played 59 times in cuba, averaging 20.7 points per game, a total of 1221 points, ranking second in cuba history, only 35 points away from the first Li Zhanglin, if not eliminated by Peking University, this record must belong to him.
As Huo Nan said, the selection of Guan Ning, who was born in Liaoning, was an unexpected joy. In some previous predictions, Guan Ning should have been selected by the Liaoning team to bring back, or selected by other teams, but he did not expect that he fell all the way to the 13th pick in the second round. In line with the principle of selecting a defender in the 13th order, Huo Nan decisively selected him.
Wu Tingjia, who is 185cm tall, and Guan Ning, who is 193cm tall, will inject vitality into Tongxi's outside line, and last season, Tongxi could only average 8.9 three-pointers per game, including 3.1 personally by Xi Relijiang. The team's three-point shooting rate was only 32.4%, the bottom of the league, coupled with 18.5 league first turnovers, Tongxi's offense was very difficult.
Perhaps because of this, when Huo Nan planned the draft, he put these two players on the first choice expected by each position, and in the end, he was actually selected. Tongxi's Internet celebrity era 2.0 was successfully updated, compared with last year's draft, this year's pick is higher, and the overall fame and strength of the players are higher.
Tongxi is undoubtedly a weak team, but for the draft players, this is also a great chance to survive, which means that their competition will not be so fierce, and they may get more performance opportunities. People like Zhao Baiqing and Wu Tingjia are even likely to be put into the starting or main rotation at the beginning of the all-China class, which is obviously exciting.
Huo Nan encouraged the 4 rookies selected this year: "If you are not particularly lucky, then please work hard." "From cuba to CBA young people will always be questioned, from Fang Junlei to Guo Kai, to Wang Shaojie and Yuan Tangwen, Cuba's star players are breaking the rules one by one, and then re-pasting inspirational slogans, do not deceive the young poor.
Wu Tingjia, Huo Nan, Tong Xi, a live broadcast about the challenge has been opened, and the audience is in place, just waiting for the curtain to open.
