Chapter 403 The Current Situation of the 2004 Rookies



Chapter 403 The Current Situation of the 2004 Rookies

Nearly two months into the competition, the rankings of the 2004 rookies have gradually stabilized except for the top three.

Which rookies were dropped, and which rookies became unexpected surprises.

Magic City's Sports Illustrated gave the most authoritative ranking of rookies in the latest issue. (Sports Illustrated was born in this time and space. Sports Illustrated pays more attention to potential seedlings and rookies who have just entered the league. And its rookie list is considered by the media to be the most authoritative.)
The current situation is three points in the world.

The No. 1 power forward Lu Tao of the Shaanxi Provincial Crossbow Team, the Yangcheng Navigator center Bai Le who has just been promoted to No. 2, and the Great Wall center Okafor who was pushed to No. 3 by Bai Le.

What's interesting is that Okafor is a rookie player in the NBA draft, and he is the most special rookie this year.Because according to the latest cooperation agreement finalized by the CBA and the NBA, the two sides have recognized each other's draft players since 2004.And a player who is drafted by one of the two leagues cannot participate in the other league's draft.

At present, there are no rookies in the CBA in the NBA, but there are two rookies in the CBA this year.

Okafor, Spanoulis (Yangcheng Navigator).

Spanoulis's average of 10.0 points and 7.5 assists per game is quite satisfactory, but his passing is as coquettish as Wei Wu's.

And the highlight is Okafor, the No. [-] pick in the NBA. He looks like a rookie spoiler in the CBA, and he doesn't regard himself as an outsider at all.

So far, he has averaged 18.2 points and 10.3 rebounds per game.Second only to Lu Tao's average of 19.1 points and 9.3 rebounds per game.

And because of Great Wall's record, Okafor also snatched two North District rookie of the week from Lu Tao.Although he lost to Lu Tao in the selection of the best rookie of the month, he became the only player in the North District who could compete with Lu Tao.

The previously expected No. 14.5 and No. 2.6 - Zhou Tingyong (CBA model worker foreign aid Dominic Jones) and Wu Yilong (low-profile version of James) performed mediocrely, one averaged 4.1 points, 13.8 assists, 4.1 rebounds, the other averaged 3.6 points, [-] assists and [-] rebounds, and Lu Tao Also, Wu Yilong's gap is too large. Although the data is not bad, he has lost the qualification to compete for the best rookie.

In the southern area, only Bai Le from Yangcheng can challenge the two. His averages of 17.6 points, 12.1 rebounds and 4.5 assists are even more balanced. With the Princeton system similar to the king, although Yangcheng's record is not good, no one dares to ignore Bai Le.

In the beginning, Lu Tao's performance data was not as good as Okafor's. Okafor even once reached the No.1 best rookie in the CBA.It was dubbed by the American media that "Emeka also has spring in China."

However, with Lu Tao's growth and the fact that Okafor's possession of the ball is not as good as Lu Tao's, he was outmatched in early December, and now in the middle of December, Bai Le has even caught up.

The man who was supposed to overwhelm Howard to win the best rookie has encountered his own difficulties in the CBA.On the other end of the NBA, Howard and Ben Gordon are now competing with each other.

In addition to the three, other rookies are also struggling to perform.

However, this year's rookie performance media still gave a very mediocre evaluation.

This draft has a draft that can be called Griffin, Brand Miller, and White Chocolate, which is called a very mediocre draft by the Chinese media in this time and space.

If the CBA from the original time and space knew about it, they would probably want to kill themselves with a piece of tofu.My draft level after 20 years is far from reaching your mediocre one, so let us play.

It can't be blamed that the Chinese media in this time and space are too picky, it depends on who they compare with.The media experienced the two drafts in 2002 and 2003, and saw Liu Guang, Zheng Kailong, Lin An, Liang Zhan, He Siyuan, Wu Tianze, Wang Haoyu, Qiao Yuliang, Mao Jun, Qi Shijian, Tang Bifei, Hao Man, etc. Players, if you look at the rookies in 2004, you will say "this year is a small draft year."

In 2002, several players averaged close to 2003 points per game. In 20, although they were not close, there were five or six players who averaged more than [-] points per game.And none of this year's rookies can average [-] points per game.

However, some media believe that as the overall level of CBA players is getting higher and higher, the rookies in 2004 failed to perform as rookies in the previous two years.Many people are still very optimistic about Lu Tao becoming a superstar.

The No. 04 and No. [-] players Zhou Tingyong and Wu Yilong did not meet the expectations of their worth, but the media and fans were deeply impressed by the top outside physical fitness of the two in [-].

If the technology of the two is improving, I believe that the future will also have a very bright future.

Yan Zhixin (Afflalo) was injured in the game at the end of November, and there is a high probability that he will not be seen in the next two months.12.3 points per game is much better than Afflalo's 3.7 points per game in the NBA.The failure of the Ludong star caused Taishan's outside firepower to attenuate, which made many people look down on the game behind Taishan.

If Yan Zhixin drives high and goes low, then Wei Wu (White Chocolate) is a model of driving low and going high. Now the average data per game has risen to 8.3 points, 7.8 assists and 2.3 turnovers.

The important thing is that he averaged 2.3 turnovers per game, and this terrible data has finally come down.You must know that the first month averaged 3.9 turnovers per game!
Paired with Joe Hood (JR), the home fans who go to watch the game have to bring quick-acting heart-relief pills.Because you never know whether this combination will surprise or frighten you.

Fortunately, Wei Wu accepted the guidance of pioneer veteran Lu Xiaoming, the former CBA assist king in time and space, which made Wei Wu improve a lot in organization and passing.Due to Lu Xiaoming's height problem, the Pioneers gradually let Wei Wu become the team's starter. It can be said that he taught the apprentice to starve to death as the master.

Although the combination of martial arts and morality is really terrible, there is really nothing to say about the enjoyment of the team's games.

Bahrami, a player selected by Yun Province, has high hopes from Iran. Even before the regular season, some Iranian newspapers believed that Bahrami could become the outside core of Yun Province.Now it is obvious that he has not met the expectations of the fans in his country, but he is gradually becoming an excellent 3D player.

Another Iranian player, Haddadi, did not have such good luck.In Hurricane, in front of him are God of War Liu Yudong and Birdman Anderson.This greatly squeezed his playing time, averaging 19 points and 6.3 rebounds in 4.6 minutes per game is hard to say is excellent.

The good news is that Liu Yudong's competitive state can't last for a few years. If Haddadi continues to insist, there may be a turnaround. However, the media broke the news that Haddadi obviously can't wait. Some team insiders broke the news that Haddadi's agent is trying to find a deal.

Currently, the best performer among international players is Southeast Asian player Chen Wei (Haslem). As the most talented Southeast Asian player, Chen Wei has gradually become the rebounding leader of the Nine-Headed Bird.The Malaysian media are already imagining how Chen Wei, Gugani and Peng Huicong (nine-headed bird) will join the national team.

After all, the 2005 Asian Championships is coming. This time, there are two quotas for the Asian Championships (actually three, Malaysia automatically deducts two), and Malaysia has a good chance of entering the World Championships for the first time. .

But soon they will know that the 2005 Asian Championships can be called a country's inward battle.

The performances of the above-mentioned rookies are not bad, and there are some good ones and some bad ones.

Japan's Takeuchi Brothers struggled.Although it was only a second-round pick, both Yangcheng and Jincheng gave the two brothers a lot of opportunities to perform because of their nationality. However, they are thin and weak and cannot stand in the restricted area of ​​​​the CBA.

The Japanese media was even more worried. After seeing the performance of the Malaysian trio, they were even more wailing about the expectations of Japan's results in the Asian Championships.After all, in addition to Malaysia, there are Iran and South Korea competing for the remaining two places.Fortunately, there is less pressure on Jincheng where Takeuchi Handicap is located, coupled with the soft touch, there is a great chance that he can stay in the CBA.

Speaking of Japan, it is natural to include South Korea. South Korea’s Ha Seung-jin refused to participate in the CBA draft and embraced the NBA. It is considered by the Koreans to be the beginning of the rise of Korean basketball. Even a game between the Raptors and the Trail Blazers was even reported by the Korean media. It is considered to be the strongest rookie derby in Asia.

As a result, He Shengzhen is now directly transferred to the Development League by the Blazers.

Many South Korean media regretted it at the beginning, thinking that it would be better to let Ha Seungjin participate in the CBA draft if they knew this earlier.And Ha Seung-jin also thinks so. Facing the interviews of his country's media, He Seung-jin has repeatedly expressed his resentment towards those in his country who forced him to participate in the NBA draft.

Now the Korean Basketball Association has approached the China Basketball Association, hoping to help He Shengzhen find a job in the CBA.

That's the status of the major rookies in 2004.
