played for the Shanghai team for one season last season and returned to NBA this summer and signed an unsecured contract with Celtics .
At that time, people were still thinking that if Feng Lei performed poorly in training camp and preseason, he would likely be cut, and then he would be very likely to return to CBA. If he returns to the CBA, the Shanghai team has priority signing rights for him.
The result now depends on the situation. Feng Lai should not be able to return to the CBA this year.
Currently, the Celtics have played 3 preseason games. In these 3 games, Von Ley played 47 minutes, made 10 of 12 shots, and scored a total of 23 points and 25 rebounds. The total rebounds and shooting percentage (83.3%) are ranked first in the league.
This should allow him to squeeze into the Celtics' roster in the new season, right? After all, the Celtics really lack a reliable and easy-to-use insider now!
Feng Lai was selected by Hornets in the first round in 2014. In just 8 years, Feng Lai replaced 7 teams in the NBA, namely Hornets, Trail Blazers, Bulls , Knicks , Timberwolves , Nuggets , Nets . In the last three years, Feng Lai was unable to play for a team for a full season, wandering around, and finally couldn't make it in the NBA.
Speaking of these wandering experiences, Feng Lai said: "I think it's a great experience."
In addition, Feng Lai also talked about his CBA journey. He said: "I played a great performance in China. My shooting is very good, and more freedom in the game also makes me feel very comfortable."
Last season in Shanghai team, Feng Lai played 23 games, averaging 15 points, 9.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2 interruptions, with a shooting percentage of 44.6%, playoffs averaged 11.6 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.6 assists, and a shooting percentage of 47.8%.
It is indeed as Feng Lai said, his shooting percentage is very high and he plays very comfortably in the CBA. Can you feel uncomfortable? When you want to fight seriously, you will play seriously, and when you don’t want to fight seriously, you will playfully and often, and not many people scold him, so you can still pay some attention.
These are not available in the NBA!
NBA last season, Feng Lai only received a 10-day short contract, played 4 games with the Nets, averaging only 2.8 minutes of playing time, averaging 0 points, 0.3 rebounds and 0.3 assists per game. If there is no CBA, Feng Lai will probably waste his time until he retires, right?
A lottery show, and after 7 or 8 years of hard work, it is hard to accept this gap, right?
I have to say that the comfortable game has helped Feng Lai regain a lot of confidence. Just look at the few games of this year's preseason. Feng Lai looks much better than his last three seasons in the NBA.
's first game to return to the NBA, playing against the Hornets in the preseason. Feng Lai started for 31 minutes, scored 14 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 break. In this performance, we can only sigh: it's different when returning from leveling in the CBA.
Not to mention the three seasons before leaving the NBA, Feng Lai rarely had such double-double data of 14+13 in his entire NBA career.
Although Feng Lai is a high pick, the NBA's performance in the early years is somewhat unable to keep up, right? !
Rookie was injured shortly after playing in the season, with only 3.3 points and 3.4 rebounds per game, and then the Hornets were traded to the Trail Blazers.
The best season in his career was in the Knicks, playing 68 games, averaging 8.4 points, 7.8 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game, but this is just a brief peak before his death. After this season, Feng Lai took a sharp turn for the worse.
2014 draft is also poisonous, and few people who were not troubled by injuries during rookies, Randall , Embiid , Aaron Gordon , Smart , vonley, McDermo, were injured in the rookie season.
, by the way, who still remembers who was the second place in 2014 and where is it now?
