When seeing Zeng Fanbo, Guo Haowen, Yu Jiahaothree young Chinese players participating in this year's NBA draft, I believe that for Chinese fans, there is still a little excitement and expectation. After all, it has been 6 years since Zhou Qi participated in the NBA draft in 2016. Chinese players have not been seen playing in the NBA competition. Although I also know that the chances of all three of them being selected are not very high, I still hold the best hope and look forward to one of them being called in the draft. Unfortunately, they all lost in the end.
However, for the last chance, the three of them chose to stay in the United States to participate in the NBA summer league. Zeng Fanbo signed with Pacers , Guo Haowen signed with Mavericks to participate, and Yu Jiahao is also waiting to sign with other teams to play in the summer league. But no matter what the final result is, at least you have to praise this courage.
Although there is hope, but to be honest, our Chinese basketball talents have indeed experienced a cliff-like decline in recent years. I think back to when Yao Ming entered the NBA as the number one pick in 202, Yi Jianlian was selected 6th overall in the first round by Bucks was selected, and Sun Yue, who later joined Lakers , not only became the first Chinese guard to enter the NBA, but also won a championship ring with the Lakers that year. But after 2010, as Yao Yao retired and the United Arab Emirates returned to CBA, in the next 12 years, the only one who could really play in the NBA was Zhou Qi. Although Zhou Qi only played 19 games in two seasons with the Rockets, his performance was comparable to that of a water dispenser keeper. Zhou Qi, who was criticized wildly at the time, did not expect that 6 years later, looking back, Zhou Qi was already the best Chinese player in the NBA.
Looking back on the Chinese men's basketball team of that year, it reached the top eight in the Olympics three times and has not faced an opponent in Asia for many years. The glorious period of the Chinese men's basketball team was also the most prosperous period for Chinese players to enter the NBA. From 1999 to 2008, there were as many as 7 Chinese players officially selected by the NBA, and 5 of them successfully entered the NBA. , they are Wang Zhizhi , Battelle , Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, and Sun Yue.
In their time, the online media was not as developed as it is now, and being selected by the NBA relied entirely on personal strength. So the question is, what kind of performance did they perform before entering the NBA.
In this issue, let’s review what data the six Chinese players who signed up for the NBA produced that year?
We do not rank players by their career achievements, but by the time they entered the NBA.
No. 1: Wang Zhizhi - the first Chinese player to log into the NBA
Time of selection: Selected by the Mavericks with the seventh overall pick in the second round in 1999
Statistics for the year before entering the NBA: 8.1 points, 12.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.7 Steals, 2 blocks,
Nickname: One of the three mobile Great Walls of the Chinese men's basketball team, the Chinese version of " Nowitzki ", the Chinese version of "Big Dream".
Wang Zhizhi was born in Beijing on July 8, 1977. His parents are both Chinese basketball players. Growing up in such a basketball family also made Wang Zhizhi fall in love with basketball since he was a child. His height had grown to 1.96 meters when he was 12 years old. In order for him to practice basketball well and embark on the path of professional basketball, Wang Zhizhi's father was very strict with him. . As the saying goes, "A strict teacher produces a good disciple." His father's strictness allowed Wang Zhizhi to develop solid basic skills since he was a child. In 1991, when he was only 14 years old, Wang Zhizhi was selected for the youth team of the Bayi Men's Basketball Team . Then in 1993, he was selected for the Chinese National Team Youth Men's National Team. By 1996, 18-year-old Wang Zhizhi ushered in a breakout year.
In the 1995-96 season, Wang Zhizhi represented Bayi team for the first time in the CBA Professional League. In the regular season, he averaged 14.1 points, 6.7 rebounds and 3.8 blocks in 27.8 minutes per game, with a shooting percentage of 66.8%. By the postseason In the game, he averaged 19.3 points and 7.3 rebounds per game and won the CBA championship with the Bayi team. After the season, he was selected for the national team to compete in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. In this Olympics, the Chinese men's basketball team not only ranked first in history He made it to the quarterfinals of the Olympic Games for the first time, and also played against the American Dream II. Wang Zhizhi performed brilliantly, blocking the NBA's "Admiral" David Robinson and Jordan teammate Ku on the defensive end. Kochi and Wang Zhizhi’s outstanding performance also allowed him to receive invitations from 6 American universities after the Olympics. Wang Zhizhi was only 18 years old this year.
Wang Zhizhi’s performance when he was selected by the NBA.
Rejected the invitation from American universities. Wang Zhizhi returned to the CBA and continued to help the Bayi team start the road to dynasty. From the 1995-96 season to the 2000-01 season, Wang Zhizhi left the team, and the Bayi team continued for 6 consecutive years. Won the CBA championship. During this period, Wang Zhizhi scored 20+ points for four consecutive years, Among them, the 22-year-old Wang Zhizhi reached the peak of his career in the 1999-00 season. In this year, he averaged 26.3 points, 9.7 rebounds, 2.9 steals and 2.7 blocks per game in the regular season. He averaged 32.9 points, 12.6 rebounds, 4 steals and 2.4 blocks per game. This year he won the regular season MVP, All-Star MVP, and Finals MVP.
With such explosive performance, Wang Zhizhi was selected by the Mavericks with the 36th overall pick (the 7th overall pick in the second round) in the 1999 draft. Although Wang Zhizhi was selected at the time, Wang Zhizhi did not report to the Mavericks until the end of the CBA playoffs in the 2000-01 season. Dazhi who rushed to the United States only played 5 games before the regular season ended. After the season ended, Wang Zhizhi was summoned to return to the national team for training. Originally, Wang Zhizhi was planning to participate in the summer league before returning to China. However, in the end, he was misled by media reporters into saying "Wang Zhizhi is playing a big role and refuses to return to China", and finally evolved into "Wang Zhizhi is a traitor." . After the matter fermented, the Basketball Association finally expelled Wang Zhizhi from the national team. Dazhi, who suffered an unjust injustice, could only stay in the United States to look for opportunities. He successively played for three teams: the Mavericks, the Clippers, and the Heat. The then NBA president David Stern was thinking about it. Trying to promote the NBA to the world, and CCTV is also one of their vigorously developed broadcasters.
As for Wang Zhizhi's experience at this time, it is somewhat similar to the Rockets, Mosaic team and Green Army in the past two years. Da Zhi, who did not have many opportunities in the NBA, finally waited for the call from the Basketball Association and the Bayi Team. In 2006, with the efforts of many parties, Wang Zhizhi was re-elected to the national team and returned to the Bayi Men's Basketball Team. In the first year after returning to China, Wang Zhizhi once again averaged 26.6 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.7 blocks. In the playoffs, he averaged 27.1 points, 11.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.3 steals and 3.1 blocks per game, helping the Bayi team win the finals. Defeated the Guangdong Men's Basketball Team 4:1 and won the eighth championship in team history.
At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, facing the American Dream Team, Spain, Germany, Greece, and Angola, known as the "Group of Death", the Chinese men's basketball team, led by the three insiders of Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, and Wang Zhizhi, once again won Breaking into the top eight of the Olympic Games, if Wang Zhizhi's three-pointer at the last moment against Spain is half a step back, then we will defeat Spain and possibly enter the quarterfinals as second in the group, and maybe we can go one step further. Although it was a pity at the time, looking back now, it was already the most glorious time of the Chinese men's basketball team.
Although Wang Zhizhi was not the first Chinese player to be selected by the NBA, he was the first Chinese player to overcome all difficulties and successfully enter the NBA. It was Wang Zhizhi’s experience that allowed later players such as Battelle, Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian to enter the NBA. It became a lot smoother. Just imagine, if Wang Zhizhi had received the support of Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian when he joined the NBA, I believe he would have achieved great success in the NBA. When seeing Zeng Fanbo, Guo Haowen, Yu Jiahaothree young Chinese players participating in this year's NBA draft, I believe that for Chinese fans, there is still a little excitement and expectation. After all, it has been 6 years since Zhou Qi participated in the NBA draft in 2016. Chinese players have not been seen playing in the NBA competition.

Defeated the Guangdong Men's Basketball Team 4:1 and won the eighth championship in team history.
At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, facing the American Dream Team, Spain, Germany, Greece, and Angola, known as the "Group of Death", the Chinese men's basketball team, led by the three insiders of Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, and Wang Zhizhi, once again won Breaking into the top eight of the Olympic Games, if Wang Zhizhi's three-pointer at the last moment against Spain is half a step back, then we will defeat Spain and possibly enter the quarterfinals as second in the group, and maybe we can go one step further. Although it was a pity at the time, looking back now, it was already the most glorious time of the Chinese men's basketball team.
Although Wang Zhizhi was not the first Chinese player to be selected by the NBA, he was the first Chinese player to overcome all difficulties and successfully enter the NBA. It was Wang Zhizhi’s experience that allowed later players such as Battelle, Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian to enter the NBA. It became a lot smoother. Just imagine, if Wang Zhizhi had received the support of Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian when he joined the NBA, I believe he would have achieved great success in the NBA.
Second place: Battelle - the first Chinese player to win an NBA championship Time of being drafted: Did not participate in the draft, and was directly selected by the Nuggets in 2001
Data the year before entering the NBA: 6.5 points 9.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists
Height 2.11 meters, weight 132Kg
Nickname: One of the three moving Great Walls of the Chinese men's basketball team, bus
Battelle was born in Ordos City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in 1975. At the age of 11, Battelle's height has grown to 1.86 meters. In the same year, Battelle was Recommended to Beijing Shougang . In 1995, the CBA league was established. In his first season representing Beijing Shougang, Battelle averaged 17.4 points and 11.3 rebounds per game, ranking second in the league in rebounds and shooting 61% from the field. In his second year, he averaged 21.6 points and 11.6 rebounds per game. In the first seven seasons after joining Shougang, Battelle scored 20+ points in four seasons and had double figures in rebounds for six consecutive seasons.
But the reason why Battelle was spotted by the Nuggets was not due to his performance in the CBA, but because Battelle happened to be seen by a Nuggets scout while training in the United States in 2001, so Nuggets general manager Vandeweghe sent I received a letter of invitation from Xia Song, a famous agent at the time, about Battelle. The Nuggets invited Battelle to try out with the Nuggets and participate in their preseason games, and reimbursed Battelle for all his expenses in the United States and round-trip air tickets. In the end, Battelle went to the Nuggets for a trial training, but unfortunately he was laid off. However, in February 2002, the Nuggets laid off the team's white inside man Riff LaFrentz. When the Nuggets needed to introduce a new player, When he was an inside player, Vandeweghe thought of Battelle, and finally signed Battelle against all odds.
Although Battelle did not perform well in the back, he became the first player to be a starter for an NBA team, and he also won a championship ring with the Spurs in the 2002-03 season. After drifting in the NBA for three seasons, Battelle returned to the CBA again and averaged 28.1 points, 10.4 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game in the 2004-05 season, setting a career high in scoring. Then he switched to Xinjiang Men's Basketball , where he Battelle gave full play to his strength, won three consecutive regular season MVPs and led the team to the finals, but in the end they lost to another CBA dynasty team, the Guangdong Men's Basketball Team.
Compared to Wang Zhizhi's style of play, Battelle's style of play is more like Garnett during the Forest era. He can pull to the outside to shoot three-pointers, can use the post in the low post, and can also attract double teams to provide support for other players. And made a nice pass. Battelle has given out a total of 1,623 assists in his career, ranking fourth among all domestic players. The top three are Lu Xiaoming , Hu Xuefeng , Liu Wei , all defenders. I have to say that it is really strong for an inside player to be able to send out so many assists.
Third place: Yao Ming
Time of selection: Selected by the Rockets as the No. 1 pick in 2002
Data the year before entering the NBA: 9.7 points, 18.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.7 steals, 4.8 blocks

Speaking of Yao Ming, it can be said that he is a household star in China. The first foreign No. 1 pick in the NBA, the NBA's most influential international player, 8-time NBA All-Star, and NBA Hall of Fame player. . . Yao Ming has countless honors in the NBA. Today let’s talk about why Yao Ming entered the NBA as the No. 1 pick? He is in the CBA just like the peak Shark O'Neal is in the NBA.
Yao Ming was born on September 12, 1980 in a basketball family in Shanghai. His father, Yao Zhiyuan, is 2.08 meters tall, and his mother, Fang Fengdi, is 1.88 meters tall. Both parents were professional athletes. In order to ensure Yao Ming's nutrition since childhood, they spent almost all their wages on food. In order for Yao Ming to drink milk every day, Yao Zhiyuan even asked his friends at the dairy factory to get a milk card.Under such conditions, Yao Ming's height had grown to 1.47 meters when he was 6 years old. By 1993, when he was 13 years old, Yao Ming's height had reached 1.96 meters. In the same year, he joined the Shanghai Sharks.
html In the 197-98 season, 17-year-old Yao Ming entered the CBA arena. In his first season, Yao Ming averaged 10 points, 8.3 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game. In the second year, Yao Ming averaged 20.9 points, 12.9 rebounds and 4.1 blocks per game. His personal data almost doubled. doubled. In his third year, Yao Ming averaged 21.1 points, 15 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 2.4 steals and 5.7 blocks per game. Under the leadership of Yao Ming, the Shanghai team reached the finals for the first time. In the finals, facing the Bayi team that had won four consecutive championships, the 19-year-old Yao Ming surrendered. He averaged 21.7 points, 18.3 rebounds and 5 blocks per game, but at this time, the number one center in the CBA was still Wang Zhizhi of the Bayi Team. Wang Zhizhi used a dominant performance of 36 points, 15 rebounds and 4.7 steals per game to sweep the Shanghai team 3:0 in the finals. Win the championship.
Yao Ming made a comeback again in the second year. In the regular season, he scored 27.1 points, 19.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.6 steals and 5.5 blocks and led the team to the finals again. In the finals, they once again faced the Bayi team. This time, the protagonist of Bayi changed to Wang Zhizhi. Liu Yudong . In the finals, Liu Yudong once again extinguished Yao Ming's championship dream by averaging 36.2 points and 9 rebounds per game.
In the 2001-02 season, Bayi Team's ace center Wang Zhizhi went to the United States to participate in NBA games. Wang Zhizhi's departure also made Yao Ming see that the Bayi Team's dream of seven consecutive championships was extinguished. In the 2001-02 season, Yao Ming scored 29.7 points, 18.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.7 steals and 4.8 blocks in the regular season. The Shanghai team reached the finals for three consecutive years. In the finals, Yao Ming and Liu Yudong performed well enough. In the finals, Yao Ming finished with 70 % shooting, averaging 41 points, 21 rebounds, 3 assists, 2.5 steals and 3.2 blocks per game, while Liu Yudong was also not to be outdone, averaging 41.5 points and 6.2 rebounds per game. Although Liu Yudong performed well enough, Yao Ming's dominance in the paint made the Shanghai team laugh. In the end, the Shanghai Men's Basketball Team defeated the Bayi Team 3:1 to win the first championship in team history.
Yao Ming's performance could be said to be a giant in the CBA at that time. And this kind of performance naturally attracted the attention of the NBA. The Rockets, who had the No. 1 pick in the 2002 draft, selected Yao Ming without hesitation. Although Yao Ming had a brief period of discomfort when he entered the NBA, Yao Ming, who is very adaptable, quickly established a foothold in the NBA. With 20+10 points in a single season and being selected as an All-Star, Yao Ming earned respect with his performance.
Fourth place: Yi Jianlian
Time of selection: Selected by the Bucks with the 6th overall pick in the first round of 2007
Data the year before entering the NBA: 4.8 points, 11.4 rebounds, 2.1 steals, 1.8 blocks
Nickname: New version of Chinese men’s basketball team One of the three major mobile Great Walls, the United Arab Emirates
When Wang Zhizhi, Yao Ming, and Battelle, the three major mobile Great Walls of the Chinese men's basketball team, left for the NBA, the CBA welcomed another talented insider - Yi Jianlian. Yi Jianlian was born on October 27, 1987 in Heshan, Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province. Compared with Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi, who was born in a basketball family, Yi Jianlian’s parents were both former water polo players of the Guangdong team. The reason why Yi Jianlian embarked on the path of basketball was because in 1999, Yi Jianlian, who was 1.94 meters tall, signed up for a street basketball game, and then an amateur coach on the sidelines discovered his basketball potential, so he persuaded Yi Jianlian's parents to let Yi Jianlian attend training at the Shenzhen Sports School. Later, he contacted the youth training coach of Guangdong Hongyuan Club and formulated a systematic training program for Yi Jianlian. Basketball training. In 2002, Yi Jianlian started playing for the Guangdong Hongyuan team. In the 2002-03 season, the 15-year-old Yi Jianlian averaged 6.5 points and 3.5 rebounds per game in his first season. By the 2004-05 season, he had already averaged 20.7 points, 9.6 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.4 blocks. Yi Jianlian just turned 18 this year.
When Yi Jianlian announced his participation in the NBA draft in 2007, the eldest brother Yao Ming had already become an NBA All-Star and secured a core position in the Rockets. Yao Ming's great success in the NBA has also made NBA scouts pay more attention to the Chinese market. Therefore, when he participated in the draft in 2007, Yi Jianlian also became the focus of media attention. In the end, Yi Jianlian was selected by the Bucks with the 6th overall pick in the first round, becoming the Chinese player with the highest draft pick after Yao Ming.

Data the year before entering the NBA: 13.5 points, 10.5 assists, 6 rebounds, 1.9 steals, 2 blocks
Nickname: Great Sage, Chinese Magic Teacher
Speaking of Sun Yue, we have to mention Beijing Olympian Team. Beijing Aoshen was founded in 1997. Unlike other teams in the CBA, it is a privatized professional basketball team. The team owner Li Su is even more wealthy. He has hired high-level coaches from the United States, and the team is even more... They provide players with training and catering in accordance with the standards of the American professional basketball team. They select talents in an eclectic way and select young players from all over the country. As long as they play well, they will sign long-term contracts for the players. This includes the familiar Sun Yue and Zhang Songtao , Huo Nan and other Chinese players. Sun Yue was born in Cangzhou, Hebei in 1985. He was selected by the Aoshen team at the age of 13 and has been training under the arrangement of the Aoshen team.
At first, Beijing Aoshen entered the CBA by relying on its own strength, and once achieved good results in fourth place in the league, but the good times did not last long. They were in the CBA league, and the Chinese Basketball Association wanted to recruit players from their team to participate. National team competition, this was also directly rejected by the team owner. After a stalemate with the Basketball Association, they eventually left the CBA and were eventually reduced to participating in the ABA League in the United States. The ABA League was one of the three major leagues in the American Basketball League: NBA, NBDL, and ABA. The ABA League was relatively The level of NBA and NBDL is low, and it is such a league that Sun Yue played from the age of 18 to 28. Finally, the boss of Aoshen passed away, and Sun Yue was able to return to the CBA league to play. In the 10 years of Sun Yue's golden age of playing, he only Being able to travel through those American business leagues.
Before being drafted by the NBA, Sun Yue had the peak performance of his career in the ABA in the 2007 season. As the team's starting guard, he averaged 13.5 points, 6 rebounds, 10.5 assists, 1.9 steals and 2 blocks per game. With this performance, Sun Yue was selected to the ABA League's best first team. He was also the first non-American player to be selected to the first team. This kind of performance is deep in the American league, and naturally it has attracted the attention of many NBA scouts, including the Los Angeles Lakers .
In the 2007 draft, Sun Yue was selected by the Lakers with the 10th pick in the second round. At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Sun Yue represented the national team and played an eye-catching game against the American Dream Team 8. He successively played defense He blocked the shots of Howard and Anthony . His performance after the game also made Kobe , who will soon become a Lakers teammate, full of praise.
Although Sun Yue did not get many opportunities to perform after finally joining the NBA, he won a championship ring with the Lakers in his first year in the NBA, becoming another Chinese player to win an NBA championship after Battelle. Sun Yue, who returned to the CBA, helped Beijing Shougang win two consecutive championships. Became the only Chinese player to win both the NBA and CBA championships.
No. 6: Zhou Qi

Zhou Qi is also the only player to successfully log into the NBA in the past 15 years since Sun Yue was selected by the NBA in 2007. He is also the fifth Chinese insider to be selected by the NBA after Yao Ming, Battelle, Wang Zhizhi, and Yi Jianlian.
Zhou Qi was born in Xinxiang, Henan in 1996. His parents were both basketball players. Zhou Qi, who has been influenced by basketball since he was a child, began formal basketball training when he was 6 years old. At the age of 9, he entered the famous basketball school in Northeast China - Fuxin School in Liaoning Province. At the age of 12, he entered the third team of Liaoning. At the age of 13, he was selected for the National Youth Team and performed brilliantly in the World Youth Championship.In 2014, Zhou Qi's contract with Liaoning team expired. The Liaoning team was careless when it came to renewing Zhou Qi's contract. The Liaoning team first reached a four-year verbal agreement with Zhou Qi worth 14 million yuan, and later changed it to 13 million yuan + a house. At this time, Zhou Qi needs to go to the United States to participate in training, so the two parties are preparing to sign a contract after the training. At this time, the management of the Xinjiang Men's Basketball Team seized the opportunity. They went to the United States to offer Zhou Qi an eight-year, 45 million contract, and promised to fully support Zhou Qi if he joins an NBA team. At the same time, they provided Zhou Qi with two sets of house.
Faced with such generous conditions, how could he not be moved by the 18-year-old Zhou Qi! Finally, after much consideration, Zhou Qi chose to join the Xinjiang team. Zhou Qi did not disappoint the team. In his first season with Xinjiang, he averaged 14.5 points, 7.2 rebounds and 3.4 blocks per game. With his outstanding performance, Zhou Qi was selected as a CBA All-Star in his first year. In the third season (16-17 season), this year the Xinjiang team introduced small foreign aid Adams , coupled with the addition of national player Li Gen, the Xinjiang team's strength increased greatly. In the playoffs, they were unstoppable and went all the way to the finals. In the finals, they faced their old rival Guangdong team. The Xinjiang men's basketball team swept Guangdong 4-0 to win the championship and won the first championship in team history. Zhou Qi averaged 15.6 points, 9.5 rebounds and 2.8 blocks per game in the playoffs. In the finals, he also played a vital role in restricting the Guangdong team's inside line.
With his outstanding performance in the season, 20-year-old Zhou Qi was selected by the Rockets with the 13th overall pick in the second round of the 2016 draft. Zhou Qi did not get many opportunities after entering the NBA and stayed with the Rockets for two seasons. Eventually was laid off. But this is the only Chinese player selected for the NBA in the past 15 years.
After watching the performances of Wang Zhizhi, Yao Ming, Battelle, Yi Jianlian, Sun Yue, and Zhou Qi before entering the NBA, you will understand why it is so difficult for Zeng Fan, Yu Jiahao and others to be selected?
Zeng Fanbo has always been considered the most promising player. His talent can be said to be top-notch in China. But the only thing he lacks is competition experience and performance. Although the intensity and specifications of our CBA league are far less than those of the NBA, it is also the best stage for NBA scouts to select Chinese players. In addition to having no CBA resume, Zeng Fanbo also has experience in competitions. You must know that at his age, Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, Yi Jianlian and Zhou Qi were selected for the national team and began to compete with the world's top teams.
In addition to Zeng Fanbo, Yu Jiahao and Guo Haowen have just established their starting positions in the CBA, and are far from reaching the height of Zhou Qi. So I think the most promising Chinese player to enter the NBA is Zhou Qi. The painful experience of the 2019 Men's Basketball World Cup has made Zhou Qi become more and more mature. After joining the Melbourne Phoenix last season, there were many reports that NBA teams were interested in signing him. Currently, Zhou Qi is preparing for the upcoming World Cup preliminaries. If Zhou Qi can perform well, I believe Zhou Qi is still expected to return next season. NBA.
As for Zeng Fanbo, Guo Haowen, Yu Jiahao and others, if they don’t have a chance to be selected this time, they will go back and continue to work hard. After all, they are still young and strive to perform well in the CBA and enter the national team as soon as possible. Only with the support of these two items can more NBA scouts pay attention to you.
Under such conditions, Yao Ming's height had grown to 1.47 meters when he was 6 years old. By 1993, when he was 13 years old, Yao Ming's height had reached 1.96 meters. In the same year, he joined the Shanghai Sharks.
html In the 197-98 season, 17-year-old Yao Ming entered the CBA arena. In his first season, Yao Ming averaged 10 points, 8.3 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game. In the second year, Yao Ming averaged 20.9 points, 12.9 rebounds and 4.1 blocks per game. His personal data almost doubled. doubled. In his third year, Yao Ming averaged 21.1 points, 15 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 2.4 steals and 5.7 blocks per game. Under the leadership of Yao Ming, the Shanghai team reached the finals for the first time. In the finals, facing the Bayi team that had won four consecutive championships, the 19-year-old Yao Ming surrendered. He averaged 21.7 points, 18.3 rebounds and 5 blocks per game, but at this time, the number one center in the CBA was still Wang Zhizhi of the Bayi Team. Wang Zhizhi used a dominant performance of 36 points, 15 rebounds and 4.7 steals per game to sweep the Shanghai team 3:0 in the finals. Win the championship.
Yao Ming made a comeback again in the second year. In the regular season, he scored 27.1 points, 19.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.6 steals and 5.5 blocks and led the team to the finals again. In the finals, they once again faced the Bayi team. This time, the protagonist of Bayi changed to Wang Zhizhi. Liu Yudong . In the finals, Liu Yudong once again extinguished Yao Ming's championship dream by averaging 36.2 points and 9 rebounds per game.
In the 2001-02 season, Bayi Team's ace center Wang Zhizhi went to the United States to participate in NBA games. Wang Zhizhi's departure also made Yao Ming see that the Bayi Team's dream of seven consecutive championships was extinguished. In the 2001-02 season, Yao Ming scored 29.7 points, 18.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.7 steals and 4.8 blocks in the regular season. The Shanghai team reached the finals for three consecutive years. In the finals, Yao Ming and Liu Yudong performed well enough. In the finals, Yao Ming finished with 70 % shooting, averaging 41 points, 21 rebounds, 3 assists, 2.5 steals and 3.2 blocks per game, while Liu Yudong was also not to be outdone, averaging 41.5 points and 6.2 rebounds per game. Although Liu Yudong performed well enough, Yao Ming's dominance in the paint made the Shanghai team laugh. In the end, the Shanghai Men's Basketball Team defeated the Bayi Team 3:1 to win the first championship in team history.
Yao Ming's performance could be said to be a giant in the CBA at that time. And this kind of performance naturally attracted the attention of the NBA. The Rockets, who had the No. 1 pick in the 2002 draft, selected Yao Ming without hesitation. Although Yao Ming had a brief period of discomfort when he entered the NBA, Yao Ming, who is very adaptable, quickly established a foothold in the NBA. With 20+10 points in a single season and being selected as an All-Star, Yao Ming earned respect with his performance.

When Wang Zhizhi, Yao Ming, and Battelle, the three major mobile Great Walls of the Chinese men's basketball team, left for the NBA, the CBA welcomed another talented insider - Yi Jianlian. Yi Jianlian was born on October 27, 1987 in Heshan, Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province. Compared with Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi, who was born in a basketball family, Yi Jianlian’s parents were both former water polo players of the Guangdong team. The reason why Yi Jianlian embarked on the path of basketball was because in 1999, Yi Jianlian, who was 1.94 meters tall, signed up for a street basketball game, and then an amateur coach on the sidelines discovered his basketball potential, so he persuaded Yi Jianlian's parents to let Yi Jianlian attend training at the Shenzhen Sports School. Later, he contacted the youth training coach of Guangdong Hongyuan Club and formulated a systematic training program for Yi Jianlian. Basketball training. In 2002, Yi Jianlian started playing for the Guangdong Hongyuan team. In the 2002-03 season, the 15-year-old Yi Jianlian averaged 6.5 points and 3.5 rebounds per game in his first season. By the 2004-05 season, he had already averaged 20.7 points, 9.6 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.4 blocks. Yi Jianlian just turned 18 this year.
When Yi Jianlian announced his participation in the NBA draft in 2007, the eldest brother Yao Ming had already become an NBA All-Star and secured a core position in the Rockets. Yao Ming's great success in the NBA has also made NBA scouts pay more attention to the Chinese market. Therefore, when he participated in the draft in 2007, Yi Jianlian also became the focus of media attention. In the end, Yi Jianlian was selected by the Bucks with the 6th overall pick in the first round, becoming the Chinese player with the highest draft pick after Yao Ming.

Speaking of Sun Yue, we have to mention Beijing Olympian Team. Beijing Aoshen was founded in 1997. Unlike other teams in the CBA, it is a privatized professional basketball team. The team owner Li Su is even more wealthy. He has hired high-level coaches from the United States, and the team is even more... They provide players with training and catering in accordance with the standards of the American professional basketball team. They select talents in an eclectic way and select young players from all over the country. As long as they play well, they will sign long-term contracts for the players.

He was selected by the Aoshen team at the age of 13 and has been training under the arrangement of the Aoshen team.
At first, Beijing Aoshen entered the CBA by relying on its own strength, and once achieved good results in fourth place in the league, but the good times did not last long. They were in the CBA league, and the Chinese Basketball Association wanted to recruit players from their team to participate. National team competition, this was also directly rejected by the team owner. After a stalemate with the Basketball Association, they eventually left the CBA and were eventually reduced to participating in the ABA League in the United States. The ABA League was one of the three major leagues in the American Basketball League: NBA, NBDL, and ABA. The ABA League was relatively The level of NBA and NBDL is low, and it is such a league that Sun Yue played from the age of 18 to 28. Finally, the boss of Aoshen passed away, and Sun Yue was able to return to the CBA league to play. In the 10 years of Sun Yue's golden age of playing, he only Being able to travel through those American business leagues.
Before being drafted by the NBA, Sun Yue had the peak performance of his career in the ABA in the 2007 season. As the team's starting guard, he averaged 13.5 points, 6 rebounds, 10.5 assists, 1.9 steals and 2 blocks per game. With this performance, Sun Yue was selected to the ABA League's best first team.

He successively played defense He blocked the shots of Howard and Anthony . His performance after the game also made Kobe , who will soon become a Lakers teammate, full of praise.
Although Sun Yue did not get many opportunities to perform after finally joining the NBA, he won a championship ring with the Lakers in his first year in the NBA, becoming another Chinese player to win an NBA championship after Battelle. Sun Yue, who returned to the CBA, helped Beijing Shougang win two consecutive championships. Became the only Chinese player to win both the NBA and CBA championships.

Zhou Qi is also the only player to successfully log into the NBA in the past 15 years since Sun Yue was selected by the NBA in 2007. He is also the fifth Chinese insider to be selected by the NBA after Yao Ming, Battelle, Wang Zhizhi, and Yi Jianlian.
Zhou Qi was born in Xinxiang, Henan in 1996. His parents were both basketball players.
