In this World Cup preliminaries, the Chinese men's basketball team although it did not break the embarrassing record of not winning against Australia, the performance of some players was still remarkable. In addition to Zhou Qi 's intimidating power under the basket, there is another player whose performance also left a very deep impression on the fans. He is the young forward Zhu Junlong from the Guangsha Men's Basketball Team. Since making his national team debut against Taipei, Zhu Junlong's performance in these three games has been very stable, with outstanding performances on both offense and defense. He has fully gained the trust of Du Feng's guidance. He will definitely be a regular member of the Chinese Men’s Basketball National Team in the future.
Let’s take a look at Zhu Junlong’s data in these games. Except for not being included in the squad for the first game against Australia, Zhu Junlong played in the remaining three games. In his first match against Chinese Taipei team , Zhu Junlong played 21 minutes and made 3 of 3 shots, including 1 of 1 three-pointers and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 9 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block; second Against Australia, Zhu Junlong played 17 minutes, 3 of 5 shots, 0 of 2 three-pointers, 1 of 1 free throw, 7 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists; in the last game against Chinese Taipei, Zhu Junlong played 19 Minutes, he made 3 of 4 shots, including 2 of 2 three-pointers, and scored 8 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals. In these three games, Zhu Junlong took a total of 12 shots, including 9 hits. The overall hit rate was very high. In terms of three-pointers, Zhu Junlong took a total of 5 shots and hit 3 goals. The hit rate of 60% is also very good. Overall, although Zhu Junlong does not take many shots, his ability to seize opportunities is very high. He averages 8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game. This performance is already very good.
In addition to being very conspicuous on the offensive end, Zhu Junlong is also very active on the defensive end. In the first game against the Chinese Taipei team, Zhu Junlong actively filled in and performed a very beautiful block; in the second game against the Australian team, Zhu Junlong did not fall behind even when facing the opponent's tall and strong striker; In the last game against the Taipei team, Zhu Junlong's physical advantage was very obvious, and the oppressive opponent could not make a move at all. In fact, in the CBA league , Zhu Junlong is a player with very strong defensive ability. Wang Bo often pits him against the opponent's small foreign players, and Zhu Junlong does not fall behind. Not only that, Zhu Junlong was also very active on the court. In this world preliminaries, he rushed to the basket many times to grab rebounds, and also flew to save the ball many times. With strong offensive ability, strong defense, and a good three-point shot, Zhu Junlong is already one of the best wing 3D players in our Chinese men's basketball team.
There is no doubt that in this world preliminaries, Zhu Junlong has completely proved his ability and gained the trust of Du Feng's guidance. At the current forward position of our Chinese men's basketball team, basically only Zhang Zhenlin is available among the new generation players. After Zhu Junlong showed his ability, Du Feng's guidance will definitely have more choices. Zhang Zhenlin's offensive ability is relatively strong, while Zhu Junlong's defense is relatively strong. Both of them have their own advantages. With the two players Zhang Zhenlin and Zhu Junlong, plus Abdul Saramu , our Chinese men's basketball team is still relatively good in terms of forward strength.
