On December 13, in the 16th round of the CBA regular season, the Beijing Enterprises men's basketball team defeated the Fujian men's basketball team 113-96 at home. Stars of the Chinese University Basketball League (CUBAL), Chen Guohao and Zou Yang, met for the first time after landing in the CBA. However, the head-to-head conversation did not go as expected, and neither man was able to be the protagonist of this game, and the ups and downs of form from December onwards continued, and getting out of the doldrums became a priority.
Grow. Two college league stars, playing well in the opening season.
On June 18 this year, in the 25th CUBAL Men's First Division National Finals, Guangdong University of Technology defeated Tsinghua University as a dark horse, ending the latter's three consecutive championships. Guanggong core Chen Guohao scored 30 points and won the MVP of the finalsZou Yang, the number one star of the Tsinghua men's basketball team, scored 17 points.
This CUBAL classic finals attracted a number of CBA club management and head coaches to watch, and there were industry insiders on the night of the game**, for Chen Guohao and Zou Yang, who are about to participate in the CBA draft, the watershed may start on this night.
Originally, both of them were the favorites of the champion, but because Tsinghua University's record in CUBAL was too prominent, Zou Yang was once more optimistic. But after the finals, Chen Guohao received unprecedented attention, and the popularity continued to rise.
On July 13, Beijing Enterprises Club announced that it had obtained the champion sign through a transaction with Ningbo Fubon Club. The outside world unanimously believes that BEWG's move is aimed at Chen Guohao, and the final result is not surprising. Zou Yang was selected by the Fujian men's basketball team with the 5th pick, which was a little short of expectations.
Two star players in the college arena stepped onto a new stage in their basketball careers and quickly showed their ability to adapt. Zou Yang became the first draft player in the CBA to have a double-double (15 points and 10 rebounds) in his debut. A day later, Chen Guohao did the same, and he scored 20 points and 10 rebounds in his first CBA game.
After the first day, Chen Guohao and Zou Yang not only gained a foothold in the professional arena early, but also were the best rookie representatives this season. Chen Guohao, who is full of attendance, has become an important rotation player in the No. 4 position of Beijing Holdings, averaging 251 minute of playing time, contributing 84 points 48 rebounds 17 assists, 08 caps;Zou Yang played 13 games, averaging 25 per game8 minutes, 97 points 62 rebounds 16 games with 2 assists2 steals.

Ideas. collided with the "rookie wall", and people who came over emphasized mentality adjustment.
After the window period, Chen Guohao and Zou Yang both encountered ups and downs. The former has scored a total of 12 points in the last five games, and his playing time has decreased accordingly. Zou Yang did not enter the squad in the first round, and after his return, he did not score in 19 minutes on 0-of-3 shooting. This pair of old rivals in college coincidentally hit the "rookie wall" when they arrived at the CBA arena.
In the 16th round, the rookie brothers, who have not been doing well recently, finally faced each other. When asked about his expectations before the game, Zou Yang said: "I don't know what to expect, after all, he and I are in a similar situation now, and he and I need to continue to work hard to gain a firm foothold in the CBA, and the CBA is not so easy to play." ”
The Fujian men's basketball team still focuses on foreign aid this season, and the two small foreigners digest most of the ball. In the away game against Beikong, Zou Yang did not play his characteristics, and his playing time was shredded in less than 16 minutes, with 0 of 4 shots, and only 2 rebounds and 1 foul in the data column.
On the other side, North Control suppressed the opponent throughout the game, and the outcome of the first half of the fourth quarter was decided. During garbage time, there were fans at the scene shouting Chen Guohao's name. With less than 3 minutes left in the game, the champion who had been on the bench for more than 45 minutes finally came on the court and replaced Zou Yuchen. Chen Guohao seized the opportunity to score 2 points by grabbing the frontcourt rebound and attacking twice, as well as 3 rebounds and 1 turnover.
In the face of the Fujian men's basketball team, which is good at offense, head coach Min Lulei asked Beijing Enterprises to focus on defense, and reused the veteran Yu Changdong, who is experienced in this area, and the captain of Beijing Enterprises completed the task excellently, scoring 11 points and 12 rebounds, with a plus/minus of 19, the highest in the team. Felder was rested due to a swollen knee, and the big foreign aid Sampson also had to take on more, plus Meng Zikai, who can open up space and shoot from the outside, it is reasonable that Chen Guohao, who has been in poor form recently, was almost not activated.

After Fujian men's basketball star Chen Linjian was injured in a traffic accident, the outside world hopes that Zou Yang will support the team's forward, but it is difficult to achieve it at present. An industry insider who has been paying attention to CUBAL for a long time and the Beijing News reporter ** The situation of the two CBA college rookies believes that Zou Yang and Chen Linjian are different types of players, the former cannot replace the role of big brother, and the last two games can be seen that Zou Yang is indeed struggling, "Most of the shots are not very good opportunities, a little out of the team's style of play." ”
Fujian won just one of their six games in December, and the team itself was in the doldrums. According to the analysis of industry insiders, the Fujian team is likely to rely more on foreign aid, leaving Zou Yang with very limited room for adjustment, and he and the team must seriously summarize.
A player who also entered the CBA through the draft also paid attention to the recent situation of Zou Yang and Chen Guohao, and told the Beijing News: "It is better to come early than late because you can see your own shortcomings earlier and find a way to solve them." In his opinion, there is no doubt about the ability of the two star players in the CUBAL arena, and he agrees with Zou Yang's statement that "playing CBA is not so simple". As a veteran, the player believes that the "rookie" season is to dare to face the gap and adjust the mentality and position as soon as possible, "There is really a limit to what can be done in the season, but the most important thing is not to be overwhelmed by difficulties, communicate more with the coach and the big players, they usually provide a lot of help." ”
The player also mentioned that Chen Guohao was very lucky to meet a strict teacher like Min Lulei at the beginning of his career, and he is optimistic that Chen Guohao, who has been through a lot of battles in college, can use his own way to get through the current low tide.
