On February 20, the CBA's No. 1 local supergiant Abdul Salamu was scrapped by Djordjevic again! In the last warm-up game between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Qingdao team, Abudu performed bleakly, scoring only 3 points on 1-of-5 shooting, and the full-court statistics were at the bottom, with a jaw-dropping plus/minus of -8.
Core players such as Cheng Shuaipeng, Hu Jinqiu, Zhao Jiwei, etc. have shown excellent form, but Abudu has no glory under Djordjevic. After 15 minutes of playing time, he only scored 3 points, which was worryingly inefficient. In contrast, other players may have limited playing time, but they can perform better.
Abudu in the CBA was once a unique existence, and his performance of triple-double +10 in a single game amazed countless fans. However, once he arrived at the national team, he was frequently frustrated and was considered to be scrapped again. In the face of the test of the national team, his courage is no longer there, and both offense and defense have lost their former edge.
What's even more touching is that the national team doesn't seem to lack players like Abudu, and even Du Runwang is more valued than him. Abudu is just a substitute, but he can't show the level he should be on the field, this cruel reality makes people sigh.
If this continues, Abdu may not be able to stay in the national team, which is undoubtedly a huge blow for him. It remains to be seen what his future holds.
