Zhang Zhenlin rectifies his reputation as a returnee from overseas, Zhu Songwei defends the campus, and the three highlights of the Xingrui competition are worth pondering

106 to 103, the North and South District Star Competition ended perfectly. Although Zhang Zhenlin lost the game, under the cheers of the audience, he still took the best of the game from Zhu Songwei and won the game. In terms of performance and appreciation, Zhang Zhenlin is worthy of his name, and this Xingrui game has improved a lot compared to the past, which also benefits from the progress in training Chinese basketball talents in recent years.

China’s campus basketball has made rapid progress. In the past, CUBA played well and was very exciting. Many traditional strong teams emerged in various regions. However, the college league and CBA were not well integrated. Some outstanding teams College student players cannot adapt to the intensity of the CBA after the college league. Even if they do not leave the basketball court, they cannot enter the professional arena. This does not meet the requirements for providing talents to the CBA. However, in recent years, with the deepening of the reform of the Basketball Association, college students have It can be completely integrated with the professional game, especially the drafts in the past two seasons.

In 2019, represented by Wang Shaojie, Yuan Tangwen, He Siyu and Wang Ruize all established themselves in the CBA. 2020 is a big year for the draft. Peking University twins Zhu Mingzhen and Zhang Ning, Tsinghua’s favorite Zheng Qilong, CUBA Meng Xiang from the prestigious Overseas Chinese University, as well as Liu Yi, Zhu Songwei, Jiao Engel, Cheng Feng and Yang Haozhe, Zhu Mingzhen and Zheng Qilong have already been confirmed as starters. Zhu Songwei, Zhang Ning, and Liu Yi have all received many opportunities. In this rookie game, Zhu Songwei could have won the best of the game, which is enough to prove that college players are the future of China's selection.

The second highlight is China’s returnees. Zhang Zhenlin shines, making everyone more and more confident in foreign gold mining. When he was young, he went to the top basketball country to develop, and he was attracted by advanced basketball at a very young age. Influenced by concepts, as well as advanced training methods and exercise habits, it can be clearly seen that Zhang Zhenlin's physical fitness is significantly different from that of young people developing in China. In the past two years, the Chinese returnee army has begun to have a good harvest.

In addition to Ou Junxuan and Zhang Zhenlin who were selected as the top picks, Wang Quanze, Li Hongquan, Wu Yonghao and Yu Jiahao have all developed well. Of course, China's new generation of super star Zeng Fanbo will also start his journey, even if these young people eventually It cannot establish itself in the NBA, but it will still become the backbone of Chinese basketball. It is far better to win at the starting line than to chase after them. This is the right choice for Chinese basketball.

The third point of interest is China’s young point guard talents. To be precise, there are few commanders with overall vision and passing ability. Yuan Tangwen got 18 assists in the rookie game, and he has the demeanor of a general. , but like Xu Jie, as a traditional point guard, Yuan Tangwen's personal offensive ability is slightly weaker, and he is a bit more technical than passing. Xu Jie is limited by his physical condition, and his offense and defense will be affected.

On the other hand, Taiwanese rookie Lin Ting-chien, in addition to his control ability and excellent passing ability, he also has good offensive ability with the ball. He is also a good defender and stealer. The most valuable thing is that he is not impatient and mature. Now he is in the Tianjin team Their role is irreplaceable. The generation of Ji Wei, Sun Minghui and Zhao Rui have matured, and the younger generation still needs to continue to work hard.
