Topic: Challenges and Opportunities: Zhang Zhenlin's National Team Journey
Introduction:
Recently, the Chinese Basketball Association announced the national men's basketball training list for the 2025 men's basketball Asian Cup qualifiers, however, this list has attracted widespread attention because Zhang Zhenlin, a core player of Liaoning Bengang, was not selected. This decision has aroused doubts and doubts among fans, who believe that this may be the deliberate action of head coach Djordjevic to deliberately exclude Zhang Zhenlin. This article will delve into the background of this decision, analyze Zhang Zhenlin's strength and opportunities, and whether the head coach's decision is reasonable.
Rising Stars: A Comparison of Fu Hao, Qi Lin and Zhang Zhenlin
In the preparation list, Fu Hao of Liaoning Bengang and Qi Lin of Xinjiang Elite were successfully selected, but Zhang Zhenlin was not among them. Let's take a look at the stats of the three players.
Zhang Zhenlin: 25 years old, 208cm tall, 102kg in weight, 18 points per game, 4 rebounds per game4. Average assists per game 43. Average block per game 05. Average steals per game 15. Average turnovers per game 15. The player's performance value is 182。
Fu Hao: 27 years old, 208cm tall, 112kg in weight, average score 10 per game8. Average rebounds per game 49. Average assists per game 09. Average block per game 03. Average steals per game 01. Average turnovers per game 01. Player performance value 107。
Qi Lin: 25 years old, 199cm tall, 91kg in weight, average 18 points per game3. Average rebounds per game 3, assists per game 15. The average block per game is 04. Average steals per game 07. Average turnovers per game 07. Player performance value 146。
Judging from the data, Zhang Zhenlin's performance is significantly better than Fu Hao and Qi Lin. However, the latter two have won the favor of the national team, which makes people wonder, what exactly is important for being selected for the national team?
The choice of the moment of truth: Djordjevic's decision
In last year's Men's Basketball World Cup, the Chinese team was in trouble in the game against the Philippines, with only 15 seconds left before the end of the game, and the Chinese team trailed by one point 76:77. At the critical moment, Zhang Zhenlin shot an iron shot without defense, causing the Chinese team to lose. This moment has become a regret in the memory of fans, and perhaps it is this moment that makes head coach Djordjevic hesitate about Zhang Zhenlin.
Djordjevic's Chinese team failed to win a single victory in the men's basketball World Cup and failed to qualify for the Paris Olympics, and he almost lost his job. Perhaps, what he values is not only the technical statistics of the players, but also the performance of the players at key moments. This also explains why Fu Hao and Qi Lin were able to be successfully selected, but Zhang Zhenlin failed to do so.
Uniqueness: Zhang Zhenlin's style and characteristics
Zhang Zhenlin often showed a magnificent scene of aerial relay splitting in the CBA regular season, and this season Qi Lin has frequently shown amazing performances of gliding splitting, which is also one of the fans' preferences for the two players. Qi Lin is also widely praised for his accurate three-point shooting from the perimeter.
However, Zhang's frustration is not just due to his technical performance, but also to his delicate relationship with head coach Djordjevic. On the basketball court, it's not just about the technical contest, it's also about mental quality and handling of key moments. Zhang Zhenlin may need to make some adjustments in this regard to contribute more to the Chinese men's basketball team.
Looking ahead: Opportunities in the midst of challenges
At present, Liaoning Bengang and Xinjiang Elite are ranked first and second respectively in the regular season. Liaoning Bengang's Zhao Jiwei and Fu Hao were selected for the national team, while Xinjiang Yilit's Shalamu and Qi Lin were also successfully selected. This contrast has puzzled fans as to why Zhang Zhenlin is in stark contrast with Fu Hao, and it seems that head coach Djordjevic has made a choice between two options.
The professionalism of CBA players is the cornerstone of development, which is what Djordjevic emphasized. Outside of the pitch, a professional attitude and good mental quality are equally important. Perhaps, the manager wants to send a message to all the players with such a decision: "You don't make me feel better, I embarrass you." ”
Conclusion: The extraordinary on the road of ordinary
Zhang's path to the national team may be tortuous, but it is also a challenge that ordinary players in the basketball world often face. The situation on the basketball court is changing, and it is often a split-second choice that determines the outcome of the game. The selection of Fu Hao and Qi Lin may be their persistence and determination at critical moments, and Zhang Zhenlin also has the opportunity to win his own opportunities through hard work and adjustment.
On this ordinary and extraordinary basketball road, Zhang Zhenlin needs to constantly break through himself, adjust his mentality, and speak with strength and performance. This is also the path that every player who chases his dreams faces, and only after being honed can he spread his wings and soar on the field of the future. We look forward to Zhang Zhenlin making greater achievements on the basketball stage in the future and adding glory to Chinese basketball!
