The NBA is the best professional basketball league in the world, and it is also the lifelong pursuit of many players to successfully enter the NBA, and Chinese players like Yang Hansen have recently hit the 24 NBA draft. The voice given by many people is also that if you want to play in the NBA, you must first have dominance in the domestic league, so how did Yang Hansen's old-timer Zhou Qi and others play in the NBA? What is the total career score, let's take a look!
4.Zhou Qi: 24 points.
Zhou Qi was the first Chinese player to be selected by the NBA after Yao Ming's retirement, and many fans were full of expectations for Zhou Qi at that time, after all, we need someone who can stand on the NBA stage to contribute wonderful games for us, and even many fans will make Zhou Qi the second Yao Ming, looking forward to him being able to shine on the NBA stage.
In the 2016 NBA draft, the name of Chinese player Zhou Qi was called out with the 43rd pick in the second round, which also means that Zhou Qi will be eligible to enter the NBA. Yao Ming played in the Rockets back then.
In 2017, after Zhou Qi and the Rockets officially signed, they immediately began their NBA journey, but Zhou Qi barely got too many opportunities in the Rockets, and scored the first point in November 17, and was sent to the Development League shortly thereafter, and since then, Zhou Qi has traveled back and forth between the Development League and the NBA many times, in fact, Zhou Qi did not get a lot of playing time There is a very important reason that the Rockets in the 17-18 season are in the period of impacting the league's first record after Paul's arrival, So players like Zhou Qi don't have a lot of playing time, and the team won't give you too many opportunities to try, many opportunities are fleeting, and if you can't grasp them, then you will miss them. So Zhou Qi only played 19 games in the NBA and scored a total of 24 points.
3.Wang Zhizhi: 604 points.
Wang Zhizhi had contact with the NBA at the end of the 1990s, when Wang Zhizhi showed strong potential on the stage of the Olympic Games, so he was favored by the NBA scouts, and in the 1999 draft, Wang Zhizhi was selected by the Mavericks, but due to many obstacles, it was not until 01 that Wang Zhizhi officially landed on the NBA stage, and the 01-02 season was the season in which Wang Zhizhi played the most playing time, and Wang Zhizhi played 55 games that season, averaging 10 per game.In 8 minutes, Wang Zhizhi was able to average 56 points and a three-point shooting percentage of 414%, if he is given double playing time, then Wang Zhizhi will score double points in the venue.
Later, Wang Zhizhi didn't have much playing time, even if the Clippers signed a three-year contract with Wang Zhizhi, and was finally cut by the team, Wang Zhizhi scored a total of 604 points on the NBA stage.
2.Yi Jianlian: 2148 points.
Yi Jianlian is the only Chinese player after Yao Ming who can be drafted in the first round, as a rookie in the same class as Durant, Yi Jianlian's draft pick is the sixth pick, and his physical talent and running and jumping ability are also worthy of his top draft pick. Because of Yao Ming's success, everyone's expectations for Yi Jianlian are very big, and everyone is looking forward to Yi Jianlian's performance that does not lose to Yao Ming. So when the two met for the first time in the NBA game, Yi Jianlian worked hard and scored 19 points, and Yi Jianlian in his rookie season also won the honor of the best rookie of the month in the East, which was expected by everyone.
But helplessly, Yi Jianlian received an injury at the end of the season, which led to being sent to the Nets later, and the 09-10 season was Yi Jianlian's highlight season, averaging 12 points and 7 points per game2 rebounds, but it is easy to get injured, the Nets can't stand Yi Jianlian's frequent injuries, so they traded Yi Jianlian, and then the United Arab Emirates gradually faded out of the NBA, although 16 years and the Lakers had some contact, but it also ended hastily, Yi Jianlian's NBA career scored a total of 2148 points, ranking second.
1.Yao Ming: 9247 points.
Yao Ming is the most successful model of Chinese players in the NBA, in the 02 draft, Yao Ming was selected by the Rockets as the champion, at that time he encountered doubts from all sides, but he still proved himself, the most famous is to slap Barkley in the face, as well as the famous scene of consecutive blocks O'Neal, so that the inside shark saw the mysterious power from the East. After Yao Ming gradually grows up, the Rockets bring Maddie to join him as a new version of the OK group. The two also played smoothly, once achieving a miracle of 22 consecutive wins in the regular season.
It's a pity that the Yao Mai combination has been eliminated in the first round of the playoffs repeatedly, and the best moment was in the 08-09 season, when they almost defeated the peak Lakers, and Yao Ming's injury in that round of the series also became a lingering pain in the hearts of fans. Yao Ming has regrets in his NBA career, but he has never regretted it, scoring a total of 9247 points, which has greatly promoted the development of Chinese basketball.
