Chapter 487 Overview of the 2005 Summer League

Take a look back at the big events that happened in June.

Yao Ming led the Rockets and Pistons to fight for seven games and finally won his own NBA championship trophy, becoming the first Asian and Chinese to win this honor, and he also became the first Asian and Chinese to win the FMVP Chinese people.At the same time, Yao Ming's winning the NBA championship also means that he has become the only player to win the CBA and NBA championships.

What's interesting is that the records broken by Yao Ming were all recorded by a man named Sun Yue in the original time and space.Apart from not getting the FMVP trophy, Sun Yue won all other honors.

It is hard to believe that Hall of Fame players such as Liu Guang and Yao Ming are pursuing honors that a single NBA role player in the original time and space can easily achieve. It can only be said that history has made a big joke for the witness Chen Xinglian.

What impressed the fans most was that Yao Ming's eyes were red the moment he lifted the championship trophy.

The G7 game has also become the NBA game with the highest ratings in China.

With the end of the NBA, the NBA draft will also follow.

The number of Chinese players participating in the NBA this year also broke the record, with a total of three players participating.

Zeng Chengbin (Derek White), Hong Hengyu (Korver), and Zhang Jiachen (Larry Nance Jr.), among the three players, Zhang Jiachen has the highest pick prediction and has come to the middle of the first round; and Zeng Chengbin is next, He is predicted to be the highest pick at the end of the first round; Hong Hengyu is in the second round.

Zhang Jiachen was selected by the Timberwolves with the No.14 pick. This is also in addition to 03. Since 02, Chinese players have been selected in the lottery.There is never a shortage of insiders with strong physical fitness, let alone Zhang Jiachen has the status of a Chinese player, which makes the Timberwolves willing to take a gamble.

Zeng Chengbin was accidentally intercepted by the Rockets. The Rockets robbed Popovich's treasure in the absence of a high-quality point guard.An angry Popovich scolded the Rockets for being unkind.And the reason why Zeng Chengbin was chosen is also the reason why he has Yao Ming with the Rockets. The Rockets are a little superstitious about Chinese players. They believe that this point guard with some ordinary physical fitness will bring them good luck.

And Hong Hengyu had the best luck. He was selected by the Lakers in the second round and became the first Chinese player to go to a big city. He also broke the legend of a hot man and became the first Chinese player to cooperate with Kobe.

It can be said that the players participating in this year's election have all achieved success. The NBA's recognition of CUBA has also gradually increased.

In fact, when the CBA is developing well, there are still players who can muster up the courage to escape from the comfort zone and participate in the NBA draft. This is also a kind of courage in itself.

Nowadays, with the increase of Chinese players, the commercial value in the NBA has also been saturated, and the status of Chinese players in the NBA has also disappeared, replaced by vague exclusion and discrimination.

Therefore, rookies like most agents can stay in the country to play games, in addition to the fan base that the players themselves have, and the CBA star market is not yet saturated.

However, there are also some players who had fantasies about the NBA since they were young. They resolutely chose to go to the NBA. The essence is to pursue their dreams.

Chen Xinglian doesn't dislike them. After all, from the point of view of the Basketball Association, he also hopes that Huaxia players can make a name for Huaxia.

……

There are two important games for basketball fans in August, one is the CBA Summer League and the other is the Street Basketball League (similar to the Drew League).

Not enough This year's summer league looks a bit lackluster compared to last year.The main reason is that most of this year's lottery rookies have been selected to the national team, and they are now training in the training center to prepare for the game in September.Not to mention domestic rookies, even those foreign rookies have their own national team competitions.

Eastern Guangdong rookie Blatche joined the Philippine training team to represent the Philippines in the Asian Championships.Gasol returned to Europe to represent Spain in the European Championships.

Last year's lottery rookies had no chance to go, after all, last year's international competition was the Athens Olympics, and they were not qualified.That's why last year's summer league was so good.

Zhou Cheng (Wang Zhizhi), Chen Song (Ibaka), Kong Gao (CBA foreign aid Hamilton), and An Xinyu (Jordan Hill) are the only rookies in the lottery area who participated in the summer league this year.

But the summer league also has many other surprises.

In addition to the good performance of high-ranked rookies, some second-round picks and some undrafted picks also performed well.

The only one who said his performance was poor is probably Kong Gao. As a big man over [-] meters, he doesn't play tough. His template is the CBA foreign aid Hamilton, who has excellent low-post offense and shooting.But facing Zheng Kehai, who was looking for a job, he couldn't squeeze into the inside line. Zheng Kehai's lower body strength could push Kong Gao to death.

So some headline parties argued that Kong Gao was a parallel player.The irony is that Zheng Kehai, who had a great success against Kong Gao, still couldn't find a job in the CBA after the summer league ended.Obviously, Sichuan Province did not keep him. After all, a 1.9-meter-eight center is still hard to think about. Everyone is unwilling to waste their 15-man roster for such a player.

Zheng Kehai (Hayes) can only return to his NBL team to play. He was not selected by the CBA this year, but was selected by the NBL team in Shanghai in the first round of the NBL draft...

In addition to the high-ranking players getting attention, this year's low-ranking players are also eye-catching.

Among them, Wang Shuangyu of Bayi received a lot of attention because of his counterattack of Yucheng Wenli and being the first draft player of Bayi.Since there are no main players playing in the summer league, Wang Shuangyu won a lot of ball rights.For the first time, he showed fans his personal ability, not the execution ability under Yucheng's arts and sciences system.

Help teammates get good offensive opportunities through their own breakthroughs and three-pointers.This also made Bayi's teaching assistant shine.He feels that the lineup in Bayi is getting old, and Wang Shuangyu can inject vitality into the team.

In addition, some international players also brought outstanding performances. Lu Wei was a little uncomfortable in the first game and only scored single-digit points. In the second game, he adjusted and scored 15 points. .His speed with the ball is impressive, and he can't help but think of Wang Yeju, a player known for his speed.However, the media believes that Lu Wei is currently too thin, and there is still some way to go before adapting to the intensity of CBA.

Liaodong's Bass also performed brilliantly.This also made the media feel that this year is worthy of the draft year, and even the second-round picks have treasures.

However, this year's summer league is far less concerned than Street Super League.

Wild fans still pay a lot of attention to this highest streetball event in China.

The Basketball Street Super League, which was originally founded by two guys from the capital with demolition funds, has now gone through its third year.

This year's Street Super League is also the most lively, with a large number of CBA players and even NBA players participating in this event.
