7 July 4 news, the NBA Summer League has started, and two young Chinese players have been confirmed to play. Among them, Zeng Fanbo and Pacers have signed a contract. If they play well, they can be converted into two-way contracts. The other player is Guo Haowen, a player from the Shanghai team. He has also been confirmed to represent the Mavericks in the summer league. Another good news came today. Zhang Zhenlin, a member of the Liaoning Men's Basketball Team, also found his own team and was officially selected for the Suns' roster and will represent the team in the summer league.
Zhang Zhenlin is the son of Liaoning basketball star Wang Fang. He has been studying in the United States in his early years. In 2018, he officially entered Tulane University and represented the team in the NCAA League. After playing for Tulane University for two seasons, the Liaoning men's basketball team was in short supply of forward talents, so Zhang Zhenlin came back without hesitation. In the two seasons of playing for CBA, Zhang Zhenlin's progress has been very obvious, and he also successfully helped the Liaoning men's basketball team regain the CBA championship. This summer, he went to the United States to train and prepare for the summer league, preparing to play NBA.
It is worth mentioning that in this year's NBA Summer League, there are many Chinese forward players, with Zhang Zhenlin, Guo Haowen and Zeng Fanbo all playing this position. And according to the current schedule, the Suns will face the Mavericks on the morning of the 13th, and there will definitely be a wonderful "Chinese Derby". After seeing this good news, fans also reminded several young players that they must not be too selfless when playing games like the summer league. They should get the ball more and work for themselves, and increase their presence and statistics. Otherwise, they will just run away. .
In the just-conducted World Cup qualifiers, the Chinese men's basketball team played very hard, but when facing Australia, our backline suffered in terms of size and confrontation, because there were relatively few forward talents. Fortunately, young talents at the forward level of the men's basketball team are now emerging, and these three are all rushing to the NBA, striving to gain the qualification to stay on the team. This is great news for the Chinese men's basketball team. Finally, I hope these three young players can seize the opportunity this time, even if there is only a little chance, they must work hard to earn respect.
