The first stage of the CBA is over, this rookie is eye-catching, but the second-grade students are not weak, Yu Jiahao, Liao Sanning, Li Tianrong, etc. Led by the first grade, can they fight with Zhang Zhenlin, Zhu Mingzhen, Zhang Ning, etc.
In the past two years, new people have emerged, first of all, the second grade (subject to registration), and the list of 12 people can be set as: Zhang Zhenlin of Liaoning; Lin Tingqian and Gu Zeyu of Tianjin; Junxuan of Fujian District; Zhu Mingzhen of Guangzhou; Zhang Ning of Shanxi; Zhu Songwei of Sichuan; Li Luyi of Jiangsu, Zhang Hao of Guangdong; Aizmaiti-Tuxun of Xinjiang; Gao Shiao and Hong Zhonghua of Qingdao.
Zheng Qilong has fallen a lot this year, and the license registration for the first start in Guangsha is in the second grade, but in fact, he only appeared this season. Beijing's former national youth captain Yang Ali has few opportunities, and Liaoning Wu Changze is recuperating from his injuries. A bit confusing is Ningbo's 11.1 points per game, but in fact, he made his debut on Bayi in the 14-15 season.
Competition for first-year newcomers is equally fierce, with 12 people on the list: Yu Jiahao, Zhejiang; Liao Sanning, Liu Tianrong, Shanghai; Li Yiyang, Fujian; Ma Zhenxiang, Ningbo; Tongxi Zhao Baiqing and Liu Dong; Sichuan Zhang Dianliang; Jiangsu Cui Xiaolong; Shenzhen Wu Zihan; Guangdong Zhang Mingchi; shanxi Jia Hao.
Draft leader Wang Yixiong is still injured, Beijing Luan Licheng has difficulty having a chance, Tianjin Xie Lishi, Sichuan Li Linyue, Fujian Adili Kurban, Beikong Li Weihao, etc. have had bright spots, Shanxi Li Zhanglin and Guangzhou Qi Haotong lost the election due to too fierce competition in the No. 4 position. The most tangled is Sun Haoqin, and the performance in the first stage is indeed almost meaningless.
Center: Yu Jiahao and Gao Shi'ao show off against each other, ou junxuan Liu Dong Li Lu pupils on top
In the center position, Yu Jiahao was elected the rookie of the first month of the season, with a height of 221cm, he averaged 13.7 points, 10.2 rebounds per game (5th in the league), 1.2 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.3 blocks (9th in the league), shooting 59.6% (11th in the league). The terrible thing is that his personal defensive efficiency is no. 1 in the league, and although he has lost to Beijing and Shanghai in the last week, he is still eye-catching.
Yu Jiahao is not the first height of the league, and the second grade can really match. Gao Shiao, who is 225cm tall, recently played Yao Ming's first local block triple-double, and in the case of only 20.5 minutes per game, he was able to send an average of 2.8 blocks per game, ranking first in the league.
Gao Shiao's tonnage and offensive skills are still very different from Yu Jiahao, but the short period of time is really not inferior, the first stage met, Yu Jiahao 4 points, 8 rebounds and 1 block, he 10 points, 6 rebounds and 4 blocks. In the past two years, the league has been long, the second grade has Xinjiang Zhu Chuanyu, the first grade has Guangdong Xu Xin, 226CM is tied for the first height, Zhu Chuanyu still needs to improve, xu Xin has 1 month to turn 18 years old, then he can debut.
Beyond the height, the center position is the undersized 4-5 position swinging players to the top.
Last year's draft was not satisfactory last season, but this season was very good in Fujian, averaging 13.2 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game (6th in the league), shooting 60.3% (9th in the league). If he hadn't been trapped by a high-frequency foul of 3.7 per game, he would have improved his stats by only playing 23.6 minutes per game.
Au Jun-hwan is a representative player who has improved in the second grade, Youdao is an orange born in Huainan, and he is born in Huaibei, and he is playing a piece of the sky. Of course, due to the height limit of 206CM, he committed too many fouls in the center position, coupled with the overall defense of Fujian is not good, which is his problem.
Rookie Liu Dong is only 209CM, in fact, in the 12 people, originally wanted Sun Haoqin to replace him, can be used as a representative of practical draft players, after all, he has 8.8 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game. Like Au Joon Hyun, he averaged only 21.2 minutes per game and 3.8 fouls.
In the center duel, Yu Jiahao's talent is obvious, but he is naïve after all when dealing with one-on-one attacks under the basket, and it is not easy to face the completely different interior line of Gao Shiao and Ou Junxuan, but it is li Luyi's internal line that is not prominent enough, he will like it very much.
Xiao Qian: Zhang Zhenlin, Zhu Mingzhen national hand combination, Wu Zihan and Jia Hao are very distinctive
Zhang Zhenlin, the best newcomer in the last season, averaged 13.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.6 steals per game, although there were some problems with the shooting rate and mistakes, but the number of possession offenses increased, and the defense also made great progress. Returning from the national team, coupled with the national games champion, Zhang Zhenlin is gradually moving towards the expected men's basketball team zhengyin No. 3 position.
Zhu Mingzhen, who is also a national player, is eye-catching, and many people who think he went to the national team to play soy sauce will be dumbfounded when they see the data, averaging 13.1 points, 4 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.1 steals per game, and a three-point shooting rate of 42.6%. More stable and accurate than last season, he has more of an elite 3D look, and the 33 points against Jilin is a masterpiece.
There is a lot of pressure on the rookies, Jia Hao, who has NBL professional experience, performed well in the first half, especially for Liaoning half-time three-point 5, but the second half entered the bottleneck. Averaging 5.6 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game, and his three-point shooting rate dropped to 37.8%, for him, recovering his feel is the key to foothold, and he looks like a seedling of elite shooters.
In the final week of the first stage, 18-year-old Wu Zihan suddenly rose to victory over Sichuan with 20 points and 18 points against Fujian. Simple and practical skills, dare to run and dare to buckle the way of playing, at the beginning of the season I said that he is a rookie who has a good chance to stand firm, Shenzhen is very short of front line after Lu Yiwen's truce, in addition, his potential is also worth cultivating early.
Quarterback: Zhang Ning joins hands with Hong Zhonghua, Cui Xiaolong and Li Tianrong make cameos
Zhang Ning, another second-year representative who rose this season, averaged 12.2 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 0.8 steals per game in the first stage, shooting 56.8% from the field and 41.2% from three-point range. Compared with last season, it is a qualitative leap, in the open offensive system guided by Yang Xuezeng, he seems to have returned to Peking University of that year, and if he continues to substitute, he will be a strong contender for the best sixth person.
Hong Zhonghua, who was a big killer in the youth league, had greater ups and downs, averaging 7 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game, and the shooting rate was very low. At the age of 22, he might as well learn from Zhang Ning, who is also a second-year student, improve his defensive focus, and observe the game from another angle, and maybe there will be new progress.
There are actually no fixed quarterbacks in the rookie this season, and Cui Xiaolong and Li Tianrong are both scoring double-wingers. Cui Xiaolong from the NBL averaged 9 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 2.2 steals per game, and was physically strong and dared to play, but the success rate was low, and perhaps he was still adapting to new role changes.
Li Tianrong was originally used as a defensive soldier by Li Chunjiang's guidance, but he did not expect that he would play better and better, averaging 11.6 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game, shooting 63.8% (5th in the league), 45.8% from three-point range and 100% from the free throw line. With a strong impact, "Wei Zhentian" played extremely efficient, and his future goal may be a dual-energy guard like Sun Minghui.
Point Guard: Treasure Island rising star Lin Tingqian shows off against Liao Sanning and Li Yiyang
The most lacking point guard in the second year, Lin Tingqian averaged 16.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 3.2 steals per game, and won 32 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists, 5 steals and 2 blocks in the final game, and the offensive and defensive ends were very present. But in addition to him, teammate Tanizawa Yu performed well, averaging 7.9 points, 2.2 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 1.5 steals per game.
Some data websites have set Lin Tingqian as a scoring guard, although he is indeed the current scoring king of Tianjin's team, but the core organizer with the ball is his positioning and way out. As a new generation of highly potential backcourt, only 22 years old he needs to improve or long-range shooting and stability, the next two years will have a good chance to compete for all-stars, my dream is to see him enter the Chinese men's basketball national training team.
The biggest highlight of this year's rookies is Yu Jiahao's tower and four defenders, in addition to Cui Xiaolong and Li Tianrong, Liao Sanning and Li Yiyang have shown their skills in organizing attacks. Liao Sanning averaged 13.6 points, 4.5 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.2 steals per game, made his debut 25+5+5, and had 11 assists in the second game, unfortunately he did not see the first game of his career 20+10 in the first stage.
Li Yiyang is inferior in personal offense, averaging 9.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 2.7 steals per game, and the main problem is that the shooting rate is too poor. However, his assists are indeed very creative, and the second half of the six games with less than 3 turnovers also shows his progress, and the 28 points against Sichuan show that he will not give up his personal attack mentality.
Daizen: Large number of people, insufficient star smell
The 19-year-old Azmaty was successful in the empty Xinjiang inner line, and the data soared to 11.1 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game, the most amazing thing, the "mid-shot beautiful boy" shooting rate of 60.7% the league 8th. In the two games against Guangzhou, he fully exerted his mid-range shooting skills, which can be said to be a big step higher than last season.
Similar to his situation but different, Zhu Songwei averaged 32.4 minutes per game in the first stage, averaging 12.6 points, 5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.8 blocks per game, becoming the leading scorer in the Sichuan team. But at the same time, the shooting rate plummeted to 39.7% and 27.8%, and he and Azmat, Ou Junxuan, and Liu Dong all committed more than 3.7 fouls per game, which also has a lot to do with his starting No. 4 position.
Zhang Hao is relatively stable, the 19-year-old averaged 5.2 points and 3.1 rebounds per game in the second season, making steady progress on the basis of last season, which is a good report card under the premise of a sharp decline in Guangdong's offensive status in the first stage. Guangxi boy still has to be calm, his future has many possibilities.
In the first grade, there were more people in the No. 4 position, and the four Big Kongs were placed.
Ma Zhenxiang averaged 11.8 points, 3 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.8 blocks per game, and although the projection was poor in the previous few games, the mine shooter quickly improved after the foreign aid arrived at the team, and the three-point shooting rate has risen to 37.8%. Zhao Baiqing also averaged 10.8 points and 5.3 rebounds per game, and the 203CM college players were very tough, with 2.3 offensive rebounds per game, but they were inexperienced and made big mistakes in key moments.
Zhang Dianliang, the only rookie who has scored a kill this season, is only 201cm tall, averaging 9.8 points, 6.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game, which is a very good rebounder. In the case of not shooting much, he also shot 39.1% of the three-point shooting rate, fully demonstrating his characteristics of the college era, the potential of the offensive all-rounder.
The largest in the first grade was Zhang Mingchi, who was 213cm, averaging 9.3 points and 3.5 rebounds per game, and his shooting rate was also good, but he only played 4 games. The 19-year-old young man has a good temperament and comprehensive skills, and is a teenager with great potential. The No. 4 position in the first and second grades is currently crowded, but the starlight is insufficient.
The NBA Rookie Challenge used first- and second-year rivalries from 2000-2011, and the CBA Star Race used traditional North-South Divisional Rivalry after its inaugural tournament in 2008. In 2018, the college student confrontation was introduced, which lasted for 3 years, and last season resumed the north-south district showdown.
The format of the rookie challenge can have many modes, north-south divisions, first and second grades, college students, etc. The format is on the one hand, whether there are enough new people to support the competition is the key. In the past, the CBA set up a wide range of star sharps in the rookie challenges and awards, and Jilin Liu Tianyi also played the star sharp competition in the fourth grade, and many of the best newcomers were not first grades.
In recent years, under the continuous promotion of the draft, the epidemic, foreign aid policies and other environments, the league ecology has undergone great changes, like the above-mentioned first- and second-year players, especially the CUBA players who came from the draft have been treated unimaginably in the past. Rookies seize opportunities in a limited time, such as Zhang Zhenlin, Zhang Ning and others in the offseason to continue to make up for shortcomings, their progress is the driving force for the league to move forward.
The confrontation between the first and second grades is only one of the angles of observing the newcomers, and it is a "Guan Gong Zhan Qin Qiong" idea, but if every newcomer in the next ten years can have such a confrontational posture, perhaps everything we expect will eventually be realized.
