Another Chinese player after Yang Hansen landed in the NBA! His talent surpassed Zhang Zhenlin, and the Chinese men s basketball team depended on him

Exciting! Less than 48 hours after Yang Hansen was selected by the Portland Trail Blazers with the 16th pick in the first round, the Chinese men's basketball front again received exciting good news. Another Chinese player was signed by the NBA team. He is expected to compete with Yang Hansen in the new season and once again staged a "China derby" that excited fans in the NBA arena!

Since Zhou Qi left the NBA in 2018, we have not seen Chinese players in the NBA for seven years. Although there were also domestic players such as Zhang Zhenlin and Cui Yongxi trying to compete for the NBA, they ended in failure without exception. It was not until this time that Yang Hansen's emergence that he was selected by the Trail Blazers with the unexpected 16th pick in the first round, creating the third highest-ranked pick in the NBA draft.

Just less than 48 hours after Yang Hansen was selected by the Trail Blazers, another Chinese player was signed by the NBA team! According to reliable news from the US media, Zeng Fanbo, a forward player who previously played for Beijing Shougang Men's Basketball Team, reached an agreement with the Brooklyn Nets, and the two sides will sign a training camp contract. If Zeng Fanbo can seize the opportunity in the next summer league, it is not ruled out that he is expected to officially become a member of the Nets.

, Zeng Fanbo, born in 2003, is only 23 years old this year. In the three seasons of entering the CBA, Zeng Fanbo has made great progress. Last season, he averaged 14.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.5 blocks per game with the Shougang team, with a shooting percentage of 52.6%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 40.5%. In the playoffs, his performance further improved, with his average scores increasing to 15.0 points, and his steals and blocks also increased to 1.0 and 1.6, and he successfully led Beijing Shougang to the finals.

Although Zeng Fanbo suffered a transverse lumbar spine fracture in the playoffs, he failed to help Beijing Shougang win the championship, relying on his excellent defense and personal offense, Zeng Fanbo has still won the attention of many American scouts. Zeng Fanbo has tried to attack the NBA for many years, but because his physical confrontation was still slightly weak at that time, he has not been able to do it. However, after the experience in recent seasons, Zeng Fanbo has reached a new level in both personal skills and physical confrontation, including psychological level. Therefore, many people are very optimistic about Xiao Zeng's prospects when signing a training camp contract with the Nets.

Once upon a time, the hope star of the Chinese men's basketball team in the small forward position was Zhang Zhenlin of Liaoning Men's Basketball Team. However, in the past two seasons, Zhang Zhenlin has suffered from injuries, and from a technical perspective, Zhang Zhenlin has a physical advantage over Zeng Fanbo, but his ball holding skills are a bit rough, his offensive skills are relatively single, and his defensive coverage area is not as large as Zeng Fanbo, which also limits Zhang Zhenlin's development to a certain extent.

From a personal point of view, if Zhang Zhenlin wants to continue to improve himself, he must clearly position himself, play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, develop according to the top 3D idea, strive to do a good job in defense and fixed-point three-point shooting, seize the scoring opportunities of counterattacks, and continue to improve his organizational passability while doing these three events. As long as these events can be handled properly, Zhang Zhenlin also has the opportunity to become a CBA historical star.

Of course, when choosing players, NBA team managers often pay more attention to the potential and characteristics of the players. Players like Zhang Zhenlin who can run and jump are the largest in the NBA arena. Therefore, Zhang Zhenlin has not been able to succeed in trying to compete in the NBA before, just because his personal style is too common in the American basketball world. On the contrary, Yang Hansen, who can score, defend, pass the ball, and Zeng Fanbo, who is elegant and flexible, have been favored more. From this perspective, it is not that Zhang Zhenlin is not excellent enough, but his style does not meet the needs of NBA teams.

If the Chinese men's basketball team wants to achieve full rise, they should strive to push more players to develop in the NBA and Europe's high-level leagues. Only if more players like Yang Hansen and Zeng Fanbo can go to high-level league training, then the Chinese men's basketball team will have the opportunity to return to the ranks of world-class strong teams!
