When writing Yang Hansen, many brothers left messages in the comment area:
"Don't forget, Wei Shao is also impacting the NBA, why don't you say a word, Brother Di!"
Two episodes in a row, isn't this coming.
Lin Wei's dream building news caused a storm on social media far less than Yang Hansen. It's not that Yang's team is more good at publicity and packaging.
It's a very direct basketball reason:The gap in the draft market.
If it is said that Yang Hansen has a high probability of being selected in the second round, Lin Wei's probability of losing is 99.99%, let's not talk about it to death.
Lin Wei, in the regular season of the CBA League this season, Lin Wei averaged 21 points, 3.3 rebounds, 5 assists and 1.4 steals per game, ranking as the local scoring champion, and averaged 30.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 11 assists and 1.5 steals per game in the playoffs.
If it is only at the level of his own family, he can be called amazing, he became the scoring champion at a young age, and I have felt more than once that the national team should try his style of player, and it may bring surprises if he uses it well.
The reason is very simple, he can pull the ball in when he has a good hand, which is the characteristic that distinguishes Lin Wei from many local defenders.
However, this characteristic of him cannot be called a characteristic in the general environment of American basketball and in the world of the NBA draft.
The features are all contrasted.
Lin Wei, the height of the No. 1 position, the style of play of the No. 2 position.
He can score, but his ability to dominate the ball, his defensive habits, his ability to dribble, and his physical confrontation are all obvious weaknesses.
If you want to talk about guard players with strong scoring ability, the NCAA and the development league have grabbed a lot of them, and the most intuitive example is the CBA small foreign aid who can't survive in the NBA, which is a god in us.
In terms of the ability to pull the ball in, can Lin Wei compare to Jermain and Brown, who are playing in the CBA Finals?
There is a clear gap.
I remember last year when I said that Chinese center players are more likely to approach the NBA, which is why Yang Hansen has a chance to play.
The No. 5 position is a scarce resource in any league.
Our center is typical of Asian interior players, often with height and baskets, so it is easy to be selected. (Wang Zhizhi, Battle, Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian...) )
But forwards and guards, if they want to play in the NBA, it's really too tough, and they need to face an extremely brutal competitive environment.
Our outside line, one has no physical fitness, and the other does not highlight technology.
So in this case, what is the significance of Lin Wei's impact?
The path Choi Yong-hee took last year can be called a stone-throwing road, and the way he landed in the NBA was the lowest.
He worked hard from the bottom, begging the NBA to give him a chance.
Like Lin Wei, Zeng Fanbo and the young players in the future, can they copy Cui Yongxi's path?
This is more realistic.
I don't go out to be selected, I go out to improve myself and broaden my horizons, and with the experience of drafting, even if I go to other high-level leagues abroad, it's okay.
There are reports that if Wei Shao doesn't get a chance in the NBA, he may go to Australia to play.
Taking a step back, even if he returns to play in Nanjing next season, it would be nice to use this trip as a summer training camp.
One day, we will see the meaning of going out.
Lin Wei signed with Lift Sports, which was founded by Mike Miller.
Its players include Morant, Banchero, Wendell Carter, Christie Brothers, Lowe, Jones, Beverley, Goodwin and many more.
Wei Shao was not selected for the NBA's official 75-man roster for the Chicago Joint Training Camp, so he can't be exposed like Hansen Yang.
However, his U.S. agency has already arranged Pro Day training.
During this period, many NBA scouts will also be invited to visit the players.
At the end of this month, he will fly to Italy for the Adidas Global Training Camp before returning to the United States for an individual tryout with an NBA team.
In any case, this will be an unforgettable summer in Lin Wei's career.
