In the past, the Rockets’ new aid Christian Wood has received a lot of attention. He was a 2015 loser, but now he can get a three-year contract of 41 million yuan, and he is still from the Rockets who always like to save money. Get this salary, which makes the outside world look forward to him.
Judging from Wood's performance in the Pistons, his personal offensive ability is relatively good, not limited to eating pie, but also can create scoring opportunities, the defensive end is also basically online, at least not drag the team. If Wood can continue to grow, perhaps his upper limit is higher than Capella. Wood is also the most important signing of the Rockets this offseason.
Wood also accepted an interview after joining the Rockets, in which he talked about a short time in the CBA Fujian team. In Wood's view, this experience inspired him. "No one wanted me. I was cut by a Chinese team. They said I was not good enough. That really inspired me and became my flashpoint."
Wood refers to what happened in 2017. He once joined the CBA Fujian team as a big foreign aid. However, Wood only played a few preseason games and was cut by the team before he had time to play a formal CBA game. , Was eliminated. At that time, Wood was not well-known, and many people didn't care about him. It is only now that he has achieved success that he has become the object of attention.
Now Wood must have the strength to play the main center position in some NBA teams. For example, the Rockets lacking a No. 5 player need Wood to contribute inside. Obviously, Wood can definitely play in the CBA league. He has excellent basketball talent. He is 2.11 meters tall, weighs 220 pounds, and has long-range shooting ability. Last season, he made more than 38% of his three-pointers. He is a standard space-based insider. Of players are very popular in this day and age. Many people may have doubts about
. Why did the Fujian team lay off Wood? If Wood is given enough room to play, maybe he could really become the super insider of the CBA league, and the Fujian team can completely transform. And just recently, Su Qun, a well-known domestic mouthpiece, bluntly stated on social media that he specifically asked Wu Bolan, the beautiful boss of the Fujian team, about Wood, and the latter gave the reason for cutting Wood.
"At the time, he was thin, and his biggest feature was that he floated outside to shoot three pointers. I remember he was so tall, only one hundred kilograms, he was playing inside, his body couldn't resist, and he kept falling. But his personality was quite good, with his teammates He was very happy to get along with each other. He also liked China, but he was very young at the time and he had never been out before, so he would definitely be immature."
Judging from the answer of the Fujian boss, the main reason Wood was given up was his lack of confrontation and he liked shooting outside. However, many CBA teams choose big foreign aid mainly for their confrontation and immediate combat power. Obviously, at that time Wood still had the capital to gain a foothold in the CBA, and Fujian could not give Wood too much time to improve and polish himself. Basketball technique.
It is worth mentioning that some fans also left a message to Teacher Su Qun, saying that he had seen Wood’s performance on the spot and really liked playing outside. He was replaced after a few minutes of starting the first quarter of the preseason. The coach has always told him to play harder. And Teacher Su Qun also replied that it seems that the boss of Fujian beauty is right. It has been more than 3 years since
was cut in 2017. During this time, Wood has made great progress. Now Wood is very confrontational, and it may be that his short CBA experience has completely inspired his potential, and he is now an excellent insider in the NBA.
Wood is only 25 years old this year, and he is still very young. If he can improve his defensive ability and enrich his offensive skills, perhaps Wood may have a chance to enter the All-Star in the future. In fact, the 19-20 season was a relatively complete year for him. In 21 minutes of playing time, he scored 13.1 points and 6.3 rebounds. His performance is already very good. And Wood is excited about his Rockets career, he even boasted that he has the ability to become the team's second choice.
