In this season's CBA, if you pay more attention to friends of Liaolan, or even don't pay attention to friends of Liaolan, you may have heard the name of Zhang Zhenlin more than once. This young striker, born in 1999, is the son of Wang Fang, director of Liaoning Basketball Center, so he is affectionately called "the eldest son" by fans. He didn't live up to his mother's expectations and showed extraordinary basketball talent.
Zhang Zhenlin is 2.07m tall and weighs105kg. He once played for Liaoning Youth Team and NCAA tulane university Basketball Team, and was the main player of the team. Zhang Zhenlin has excellent physical talent, strong jumping ability and fast playing speed. Because of studying in the United States, his playing style is extremely explosive, and he often staged a rock-breaking dunk in the game, which reminds people of Yi Jianlian when he was young. Although Zhang Zhenlin has the figure of power forward, his main position is small forward. His dribbling skills are solid, his breaking speed is fast, his shooting is accurate, especially the three-point line is two points long, and he also has a good three-point shot. Because he plays a small forward position the size of a power forward, and he can control the ball and shoot accurately, people also have high hopes for him and call him "China Durant".
The picture above shows Zhang Zhenlin's strong dunk on Qingdao. Does this bouncing height and strength have the shadow of Yi Jianlian when he was young? If comparing him to Durant is a compliment, then making him the next Yi Jianlian is a good expectation for everyone. After all, now that the men's basketball team in China is green and yellow, no one can really carry the banner of the men's basketball team after Yi Jianlian retired. At this time, there was a young man who looked like Yi Jianlian. It's hard not to expect him.
At present, as a rookie, Zhang Zhenlin has established the position of main striker in Liaoning basketball team. * * * has played 10 games, averaging 26 minutes, and can get 9.9 points, 5.7 rebounds 1.2 assists 1 steals 0.5 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 44.7% and a three-point shooting percentage of 38.7%.
As a rookie player, this figure is excellent enough, but if you have been watching Zhang Zhenlin's game, you will find that Zhang Zhenlin has been playing better and better in the first few games, and even scored more than 20 in two consecutive games, and his shooting percentage is quite high. However, in recent games, Zhang Zhenlin seems to be getting unable to play, scoring less and less, and his hit rate has dropped. Some people have lost sight of him.
So will Zhang Can Zhenlin be the next Yi Jianlian? What shortcomings and problems does he need to overcome?
Lack of competition experience, play is not stable enough.
Although Zhang Zhenlin played in NCAA, NCAA is still a college league, and there is still a gap between NCAA and professional league. He doesn't have enough experience in the game now, and sometimes he looks green. Moreover, as mentioned above, Zhang Zhenlin's performance is very unstable. He soared at the beginning of the season and recently fell to the bottom. This kind of performance really shouldn't be.
The above picture shows every data change since Zhang Zhenlin entered CBA. Because Zhang Zhenlin only played for 2 minutes against Shandong on1October 6th 165438, the time was too short, so we deleted that game. Looking at the remaining nine games, Zhang Zhenlin fluctuated greatly in any data: scoring difference was at most 20 points, rebounding was at most 10, assisting was at most 4 times, stealing was at most 3 times, blocking was at most 2 times, mistakes were at most 4 times and fouls were at most 5 times. If assists are not a striker's strong point, there is not much difference between stealing and blocking, but the gap between scoring and rebounding is so big that it can only be said that it is Zhang Zhenlin's own problem.
Why Han Dejun can be the anchor of Liao basket for many years is because he plays a stable role all the year round. If you want to be a star player, it is essential to play steadily. Zhang Zhenlin, obviously, is not qualified to compare with Yi Jianlian.
Poor defense awareness, often leaking people.
Zhang Zhenlin's other weakness is defense. In the game against Shandong, Zhang Zhenlin was replaced after only two minutes. Since then, he has been sitting on the bench and has never participated in that game again. What is the reason? It was because coach Yang Ming was dissatisfied with Zhang Zhenlin's defense that he gave up Zhang Zhenlin directly in that game. Zhang Zhenlin frequently missed people after playing, which led to the opponent's goal, and let Yang Ming guide him to jump straight on the sidelines.
Although Zhang Zhenlin will have an advantage in height and size when playing small forward on the offensive end, it will be a weakness on the defensive end: Zhang Zhenlin has the figure of a big forward, so his moving speed and reaction are naturally slower than other ordinary small forwards. When defending the opponent's small forward, Zhang Zhenlin often can't keep up with the opponent's rhythm and misses people.
Of course, Zhang Zhenlin is still young enough, and relying on excellent physical fitness can make up for the shortcomings of speed. In the next game when Yang Ming abandoned the match, Zhang Zhenlin played a very good defensive role against Guangzhou in the face of foreign aid, and successfully blocked the attack of foreign aid by using his excellent height and physical fitness.

On the whole, the advantages of Zhang Zhenlin are very obvious. His physical fitness is excellent, and his offensive skills such as breakthrough and shooting are also excellent. The only thing he lacks now is competition experience, but he is still too green, which leads to his unstable play and weak defensive consciousness.
Over time, if Zhang Zhenlin can really improve his stability and practice his defense, I believe it is not a pipe dream for him to become the next leader of the men's basketball team. what do you think?
Better than Yi Jianlian, but don't be proud!
