The second phase of the CBA is over, the regular season is nearing the end, the strong teams have locked in the playoffs, the weak teams have also begun to prepare for the next season in advance, the strong teams are always strong, the weak teams are always weak, and there seems to be not too many surprises.
But looking at the roster list of CBA teams, you will find that there is a different team, the only super young team in the entire CBA that has no players who have reached the age of 30, and it is also the only team in the entire CBA that has not yet had foreign support.
This team is, Jiangsu Kendia.
Jiangsu Kendia has practiced an idea in the hearts of many fans with practical actions, why do those teams at the bottom of the ranking still need to ask for foreign aid, and if they ask for foreign aid, they still have to be at the bottom of the record, why not give up their record to concentrate on cultivating young players?
Tongxi, who is at the bottom of the league, has invited foreign aid, and still can't stop the record of the longest 25 consecutive defeats in the history of the CBA regular season, and Tongxi's brother Ningbo has invited two foreign aides, but so far this season has only two wins.
Jiangsu Kendia, who does not invite foreign aid, has proved with its performance so far this season that many local young players still have great potential, as long as they are given enough opportunities, they will gradually grow.
Jiangsu Kendi Adam midfielder Wu Guanxi has continued to grow this season, averaging 20.6 points per game as the fourth highest local player, and the three people in front of him are Abdul Shalamu, Hu Jinqiu and Guo Allen.
Wu Guanxi's 62.6 percent shooting percentage is second only to Hu Jinqiu, ranking second among all local players who average more than 15 points per game, and has grown into one of the league's top centers.
Huang Rongqi began to transform into a point guard, and he once delivered a career-high 14 assists against Beijing Control, and during that time, he was the homegrown player with the most assists in the league.
In the second stage, he averaged 7.6 assists per game, ranking fourth among local players. In previous seasons, he had averaged just 3.3 assists per game.
Against Xinjiang, Huang Rongqi hit consecutive three-pointers in the final moments, including a three-pointer in the last 2 seconds of the fourth quarter.
Throughout the fourth quarter, he scored 12 points and 4 assists to help the team reverse into overtime, and he scored 25 points, 7 rebounds and 11 assists.
In the game leading the team to win over Ningbo, Huang Rongqi scored 21 points, 12 rebounds, 9 assists and 2 steals, with a plus-minus value of +28.
If there are foreign players in the team, it is difficult for local players to have such opportunities.
Li Luyao, who is less than 20 years old, has also become one of the surprises of the team.
At the National Games, Li Luyao once slashed 11 points and 11 boards in a single quarter, which made Jiangsu fans have more expectations for his performance in the CBA.
This season, Li Luyao gradually entered the regular rotation of Jiangsu Kendia, and after Wu Guanxi was suspended due to injury, Li Luyao appeared as a starting center forward many times, and his performance was eye-catching.
In the match against Shenzhen, facing Shen Zijie, one of the league's strongest defensive centers, and Zhao Yiming, who is 20 meters 20, Li Luyao showed almost all the offensive means of a big player, and the offensive arsenal is very rich.
Li Nan smiled slightly
At the age of 19, he showed the content of the game, which made all Jiangsu Kendia fans excited.
His hand feels extremely soft, and the left hand throw, hook hand, and jump shot are very accurate.
In his first start of the season, against defending champions Guangdong, Li Luyao shot 9 of 14 and 2 of 2 from the free throw line, scoring a career-high 20 points.
In the game, facing Zhang Hao and Zhang Mingchi, who came from guangdong youth training, Li Luyao had a hidden crushing trend, back jump shot, turned to hook his hand, made a mid-shot, and was proficient in strong proofing under the basket, and the opponent had no way to take him.
In the first career match with Yu Jiahao, a talented center who is also a "son of a famous man", Li Luyao had 10 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block, including 4 frontcourt rebounds.
Yu Jiahao shot 2-of-9, only had 4 points and 7 rebounds, no rebounds in the front court, and 3 turnovers.
Interestingly, Li Nan originally did not intend to let his son play professionally, and Li Luyao did not receive much basketball training when he was young.
However, Li Luyao's physical talent is too good, his father is a meritorious figure in the Chinese men's basketball team, and his mother Dai Min is also a former Bayi female basketball player, and his parents gave him excellent genes.
When Li Luyao was 13 years old, his height was more than two meters, and he grew taller and taller later, and at the same time did not lose too much flexibility because of his height, which was the best center seedling in this era.
In the end, Li Nan decided to let his son play basketball.
Li Luyao is not a Jiangsu team that entered through the back door, as some people with ulterior motives slandered, through his father's relationship.
With Li Luyao's height of 213 arm spans and 221 bouncing 68 super outstanding physical static talent, many teams are competing for it and want to recruit Li Luyao to the team.
But he finally chose to follow in his father's footsteps to Kendia, Jiangsu.
Part of the reason for choosing Jiangsu is that Li Nan is the head coach of Jiangsu Kendia, and the Jiangsu management has won the month first.
On the other hand, it is also because Li Nan has a crush on a person in the Jiangsu team.
Just as he didn't let his son go abroad like everyone else to accept higher levels of confrontation and competition to quickly raise the level of choice.
Li Nan believes that his son will get better development by following this person. This person is Xu Qiang, who is currently the assistant coach of Jiangsu Kendia.
Xu Qiang is a famous domestic internal training master, the earlier "Birdman" Anderson, "White Edge" Whiteside, are under his hands to regain a new life back to the NBA to play a stunning performance, and then later Chang Lin, Li Yuanyu and Wu Guanxi, after following his special training, has made visible progress with the naked eye.
For the growth of Li Luyao, Li Nan is not in a hurry, and the successful players in the past in the Chinese basketball world will go through a period of growth, slowly learn experience, and eventually grow into outstanding players.
Li Nan is a military man, he let his son play basketball is not expected to get how much money he will get on the career path, he has earned enough money for his son to live a lifetime.
He only hopes that his son can use his talent to play for the country and help the Chinese men's basketball team revive.
The road is long, difficult, and not necessarily successful, but at least there are already people working on it.
Ten years of trees and a hundred years of tree people, patience is now the most scarce and precious thing in the basketball world.
