Wang Junjie made a brilliant performance in this Asian Cup. In the six games of the Asian Cup, he averaged 23.5 minutes per game, scored 13 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists, with a shooting percentage of 56.1%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 47.8%, and was selected into the Asian Cup All-Asian Cup.

Many fans began to look forward to his future draft entry into the NBA. But back to reality, Wang Junjie only played as a quasi-main player last season, that is, in his sophomore season. He started 24 games in 34 games, averaged 20 minutes per game, and performed 6.2 points and 3.3 rebounds, but his shooting percentage was only 41.3%, three-pointers were only 30.3%, and even the free throw was only 59.3%.

At the University of San Francisco, Wang Junjie's start was not smooth. In his freshman season, he only made 20 appearances and did not start once. He averaged only 7.3 minutes of playing time, and the data was only 2.8 points and 1.2 rebounds.

However, Wang Junjie was also very strong and unyielding. He said that he had entered a new environment, from the best to the worst: "I found that my level was as small as dust, and once again fell from the starting lineup to the penultimate person on the bench. This process was very painful, both physically and psychologically.

And when talking about himself "why can he rebound every time?" Wang Junjie said: "Basketball is engraved in my DNA. If I leave basketball, my life will lose its focus. More importantly, it is a spirit of unwilling to admit defeat. Every time I get to a new environment, even if I can only play as a substitute at the beginning, I never feel that I am much worse than others - they are ordinary people, not superstars as out of reach as James. ”

Of course, even though he performed well in his sophomore year, his current position is not absolutely solid. His position in the team last season was only considered a rotation main player, with 7th playing time, 7th scoring in the team and 6th rebounding. There are not many high schools in the team ranked in the top 100 in the United States, and the only player Malik, the 77th and senior in the United States in 2021 Thomas, also the team's scoring champion last season, also switched to the University of Virginia. The second scorer last season also graduated from the Big Five season, but both of them are guards. At most, they have seized the right to attack on the offensive end, and the competition for playing time will not be less.

, and the University of San Francisco is not a famous basketball school. The last time the University of San Francisco entered March Crazy was in 1998. Non-stars, non-core teams, relatively old age, these factors It is a difficult issue not to consider. There have been reports in the past two days that Wang Junjie may participate in the NBA draft next year. But in my opinion, entering the NBA is not Wang Junjie's primary goal now. His primary goal now is to return to San Francisco University to compete for more playing time and more opportunities.

, and there are also reports that even if he can't play in the NBA, he will seek overseas opportunities. If these don't work, he will consider the CBA. Opportunities to play. It is always good to have such an idea, rather than being content with the status quo, waiting to graduate from college, and returning to China to play CBA safely.

Of course, Wang Junjie still faces many practical problems next. In this Asian Cup, coupled with the talent and ability that was recognized, many CBA clubs are currently seeking to get the forward Wang Junjie through youth training signing. To join the CBA in this capacity, he needs to be 2 Before he was 1 year old (about 6 months left) and represented the team in the U series. In my opinion, this is also an unlikely operation. After returning to the United States, he will soon be engaged in training. If he spends some time completing the youth training contract to guarantee his future, he will have to measure whether it is worth it at this point in time.

I believe that with Wang Junjie's spirit, he will definitely not shrink and consider these guarantee options. Letting go will be his best answer.
