Don’t forget that CBA scoring champion Lin Wei is also rushing to the NBA!

"Don't forget, Mr. Wei is also fighting for the NBA. Why don't you mention it word for it?"

Two episodes of broadcasting in a row, isn't this coming?

Lin Wei's Dream Building News has caused far less storms on social media than Yang Hansen. This is not because Yang's team is more good at promoting and packaging.

It's very direct reason for basketball: the gap in the draft market.

If Yang Hansen is very likely to be selected in the second round, Lin Wei's probability of losing the election is 99.99%, so we won't be dying.

Lin Wei, this season's regular season of the CBA League, Lin Wei averaged 21 points, 3.3 rebounds, 5 assists and 1.4 steals per game, making him the top scorer in the local scoring; he averaged 30.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 11 assists and 1.5 steals per game in the playoffs.

If you only have your own level, you can be called amazing. You have become the scoring champion at a young age. I think more than once that the national team should try players of his style. If you use it well, you may not be surprised.

The reason is very simple. He can pull the ball in when he feels good. This is the characteristic that distinguishes Lin Wei from many local defenders.

However, this characteristic of his can't be called a characteristic when it comes to the general environment of American basketball and the world of NBA draft. The characteristics of

are all compared.

Lin Wei, height of number one position, playing style of number two.

He can score points, but he can dominate the ball, defensive habits, operational control, and physical confrontation are all obvious weak points.

Let's talk about defenders with strong scoring skills, NCAA and the Development League have a lot of them. The most intuitive example is the CBA small foreign players who cannot survive in the NBA. In us, we are gods.

In terms of the ability to draw the ball, can Lin Wei compare with Jermain and Brown who are playing in the CBA Finals? There is a clear gap in

.

I remember that last year I said that Chinese center players are more likely to get close to the NBA, which is why Yang Hansen has the opportunity to play. No.

5 position is a scarce resource no matter what league it is.

The centers produced by us are typical Asian inside players. They often have heights and baskets, so they are easily selected. (Wang Zhizhi, Bater, Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian...)

But it is really difficult for the forward and defenders to play in the NBA and need to face an extremely cruel competitive environment.

Our external lines have no physical fitness and no outstanding skills.

So in this case, what is the meaning of Lin Wei's impact?

The path Cui Yongxi took last year can be called "Ask for a way to cast a stone". His starting point is the lowest.

He worked hard from the bottom and was asking for opportunities from the NBA.

Can young players like Lin Wei, Zeng Fanbo and future generations replicate Cui Yongxi's path?

This is more practical.

Going out is not to be selected, but to go out is to broaden your horizons. With the experience of drafting, it is OK to go to other high-level leagues abroad.

It is reported that if Wei Shao didn't get a chance in the NBA, he might go to Australia to play.

Let's go back to play in Nanjing next season, and it would be great if he would use this journey as a summer training camp.

One day, I will see the meaning of going out.

Lin Wei signed a brokerage company Lift Sports, founded by Mike Miller.

's players include Morant, Benkairo, Wendel Carter, Christie Brothers, Rowe, Jones, Beverly, Goodwin, etc.

Wei Shao was not selected into the NBA's official 75-man roster of Chicago United Training Camp, so it cannot be exposed like Yang Hansen.

However, his US agency has arranged Pro Day training. During the

period, many NBA scouts will also be invited to inspect the players.

At the end of this month, he will fly to Italy to attend Adidas Global Training Camp, and then return to the United States for a solo trial of the NBA team.

No matter what, this will be an unforgettable summer in Lin Wei's career.
