There have always been Taiwanese players playing in our CBA league . From Lin Zhijie to the current Chen Yingjun, Taiwanese players have performed brilliantly in CBA. However, this season, two players, Lin Wickhan and Zhou Yixiang , left the CBA League and returned to the Taiwan League. Recently, former Beijing Shougang player Zhou Yixiang also made his debut back in the Taiwan League. However, judging from his performance in the first show, this player who has the title of LeBron in Taiwan is basically in the cold.
After Zhou Yixiang left Beijing Shougang, he joined Taiwan's P.LEAGUE+ league. This league was founded by actress Fan Weiqi 's husband Chen Jianzhou. It is currently very popular in Taiwan, and Zhou Yixiang joined the Kaohsiung Steelers! It stands to reason that Taiwanese players who were unable to play in the CBA league in the past were basically abused when they returned to the Taiwan League. They had everything they wanted on both offense and defense. However, Zhou Yixiang, who is known as Taiwan's LeBron, had a very bad debut!
Zhou Yixiang's first personal breakthrough with the ball was a big hit. His subsequent mid-range shots were even more deviant and did not touch the basket at all. His third shot at the three-point line was also blocked by his opponent. The interference hit the basket. At the end of the first quarter, Zhou Yixiang made a very low-level passing error. Zhou Yixiang did not score in the entire first quarter, and his performance was very outstanding. The Kaohsiung Steelers were only 1 point ahead of the Taishin Dreamers.
In the second quarter, Zhou Yixiang tried an outside three-point shot, but it still bounced out. After that, Zhou Yixiang's breakthrough attack with the ball was once again blocked by his opponent. But Zhou Yixiang still refused to give up. In the following attack, he once again held the ball and prepared to attack, but he had no choice but to dribble the ball to his legs. After falling to the ground in a panic, he also lost the ball. At the end of the second quarter, Zhou Yixiang was blocked again on the offensive end. In desperation, he passed the ball and sent out an assist.
Throughout the first half, Zhou Yixiang tried to attack many times, but was basically blocked and intercepted by his opponents. He played very poorly. Entering the third quarter, Zhou Yixiang's performance still did not improve. He either walked or was blocked, and still failed to score a point! With 7 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Steelers led the Dreamers by 11 points. Finally, in garbage time, Taiwanese LeBron Zhou Yixiang began to show his strength. He first scored 2+1 and also hit a long two-pointer. He also used his physical advantage to successfully attack many times. Zhou Yixiang contributed 11 points in the whole game.
As the second overall pick in the 2017 CBA draft and a player who has played in the CBA for 5 years, Zhou Yixiang's return to the Taiwan League was supposed to be a downgrade, but judging from his first appearance, Taiwan's LeBron was basically in the cold. Not to mention compared to Hu Rongmao, who played for the Fujian Men's Basketball Team in his prime. Even Lin Zhijie, the former boss of the Guangsha Men's Basketball Team, is still a killer in the Taiwan League at the age of 38. So many returns in the CBA Among the players in the Taiwan League, Zhou Yixiang's performance is the most impressive.
Judging from the situation in the first show, Zhou Yixiang can be said to be a burden to the team in the stalemate stage, only dominating the garbage time in the last quarter. Moreover, after so many years of experience in the CBA, Zhou Yixiang still does not have stable mid-range and three-point shooting. Now in the Taiwan League, he can only rely on his body to eat hard, and the speed is getting slower and slower. Although the Taiwan League is stronger than the CBA It's far from enough, but it is foreseeable that Zhou Yixiang has become cold and has basically entered the countdown to retirement.
