In last year's Men's Basketball World Cup, the Chinese men's basketball team successively defeated South Sudan and Puerto Rico, and the players who represented these two teams found jobs in the CBA. South Sudan's naturalized guard Carrick Jones was favored by Zhejiang Chouzhou, and Waters, who played for Puerto Rico, joined the Guangdong men's basketball team.
In this two warm-up games with the Macau Black Bears, the Chinese men's basketball team may have to help a foreign player get an offer from the CBA, he is Niven Hart, an "Internet celebrity" player who tried out CBA Nanjing Tongxi last season.
Last season, Tongxi resolutely chose the former between CBA old acquaintances Pierre Jackson and Hart, although Hart also went to Tianjin, Kenya and other teams for trial training, but they did not succeed in staying. However, this time against the Chinese men's basketball team, Hart does have the opportunity to get himself a job in the CBA.
In the second game between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Macau Black Bears, China lost 78-83, and the highest score of the Black Bears team was none other than Hart. He played 29 minutes in this game, scoring 27 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals on 7-of-18 shooting, and almost staged an empty dunk.
It is worth mentioning that Hart also wore a pair of CBA socks in this game, which is probably also used to motivate himself to be disappointed that he was not favored by the CBA team last season. In fact, it was not only this game, but the first game between the two sides, when the Black Bears defeated the Chinese men's basketball team by 35 points, Hart also showed his strength, scoring a team-high 19 points on 7-of-9 shooting in 18 minutes of playing time. Both of these games against the Chinese men's basketball team scored the highest points on the team, which may make Hart interesting for some CBA teams.
As an Internet celebrity player with extremely strong physical fitness, Hart has actually been mixed in the field in recent years, in the case of the strength is obviously stronger than the opponent of the same level, he also wants to fulfill the dream of a professional player, although his offensive ability is undoubted, but too personal heroism of the style of play, it does make him not favored by some professional teams, the Macau Black Bears signed this time, is not a professional team, so Hart this two games against the Chinese men's basketball team, is indeed holding back a force to prove himself.
In fact, during this period, there was news that Hart may join Shijiazhuang Xianglan, but for various reasons did not make the trip, if he really wants to go to the NBL league, Hart will definitely have the opportunity to hand in an average of 20+ or even higher points per game if he gets enough balls.
This time, in the face of the Chinese men's basketball team, especially in the case of live broadcast, it can hand over close to 30+ points, and some CBA teams that lack offensive ability and have excellent local guards can indeed sign Hart as the third foreign aid.
