Zhang Ning was very efficient in this game, he played 30 minutes off the bench, shooting 10 of 13, shooting 2 of 4 from three-pointers, 3 of 3 from the free throws, and scoring 25+2+1! The 25 points set a new career high for Zhang Ning, who previously had a career-high of 21 points (2 times against Guangzhou and Zhejiang). After cutting the highest score in his career, Zhang Ning said that this was the best birthday gift for his girlfriend.
Zhang Ning has played 10 games this season, 8 of which have scored in double figures. He currently averages 13.3 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game. He shot 59.6 percent from the field, 46.2 percent from three-point range and 83.3 percent from the free throws. Zhang Ning's true shooting percentage is 68.6%, ranking sixth in the league. His progress is visible to the naked eye!
For comparison, Zhang Ning averaged 7.6 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game in his rookie season, shooting 43.3% from the field and 27% from three-point range. Speaking of his outstanding state, Zhang Ning said that he could not do without the supervision of the coach: "I remember the 16-word requirement proposed by Yang Xuezeng's guidance, 'desperately defending, desperately grabbing, daring to bear, willing to dedicate'! ”
He is 11th in the league (homegrown) in shooting percentage this season, 12th in the league in three-point shooting and 14th in the league in offensive efficiency. Zhang Ning's most obvious progress is core control, which can still be completed steadily after confrontation. In addition, his shots are more determined than in his rookie season, and he no longer hesitates to handle the ball.
Zhang Ning was injured in the preseason on October 13, his brow bone was bleeding, and he went to the hospital for 16 stitches. Even if the stitches have been removed, in order to protect the injured part, Zhang Ning now has to wear a breakcour to play. Speaking of this injury, Zhang Ning only said lightly: "The little skin trauma has actually received so much care and blessings. ”
Whether it's the NBA or the CBA, at the beginning of the season, you see how well a player is playing, and basically you can judge whether he has practiced hard in the offseason. There is no doubt that Zhang Ning's progress is inseparable from his efforts throughout the summer, and he basically has to complete the goal of 50 three-pointers in a row every day.
Before participating in the CBA draft, Zhang Ning was accompanied by praise and criticism, and he was also a player with his own flow. Some people know Zhang Ning because of variety shows, and some people know Zhang Ning because of cuba. When he was selected by Shanxi with the 8th pick in the first round, there were still many fans who were not optimistic about him and felt that Zhang Ning could not play the CBA.
He played just 8 games in his rookie season before being sent to cbdl (China Basketball Development League) by Shanxi. Later, because the team had injured people, Zhang Ning was recalled. This decentralization experience made Zhang Ning realize that it was not easy to gain a foothold in the professional league, and also urged him to train harder: "After being delegated, I was particularly sad, and I still blamed myself more. ”
Zhang Ning knows that he has attention, but he knows even more what is most important for a professional player. Zhang Ning said: "The so-called traffic is really not important in the professional arena, I just hope that everyone can remember Zhang Ning in the CBA field, wearing the No. 8 jersey. ”
Finally, I use a sentence from Zhang Ning to encourage everyone: don't talk crazy in good times, and less complain about adversity!
