Du Feng made a mistake! The CBA No. 1 pick's fame exceeds his ability, hailed as the next Yi Jianlian
This season, some of the better-performing teams have very capable centers! For example, the rising Shanxi team has Liu Chuanxing; after Guangsha lost to Shanxi, they realized the importance of a big center and signed Boban; Beijing, Xinjiang, Liaoning, Shandong, and other teams all have big centers stationed. Now let's take a look at Guangdong's frontcourt? It is completely dependent on foreign aid because the frontcourt is weak, so they signed three big foreign players: Jilunwate, Morland, and Beizeli. Yi Jianlian retired, Zhou Qi went to the Beijing team, and Guangdong's frontcourt was left with only two young players, Zhang Mingchi and Xu Xin. Therefore, the Hongyuan club borrowed Wang Shaojie from Beikong, hoping that Wang Shaojie could support Guangdong's frontcourt! However, Wang Shaojie's performance in Guangdong is far below expectations, very poor, and even marginalized.
In the game where Guangdong lost to Zhejiang, Wang Shaojie only scored 3 points; in the game where Guangdong lost to Liaoning, Wang Shaojie did not score. It is understood that the Hongyuan club gave the Beikong club some rental fees, but not much, and the rental period is only one year. Wang Shaojie should not stay in the Guangdong team next season.
Wang Shaojie has not made much progress since coming to the CBA. Wang Shaojie was already well-known during his time in the CUBA. He was predicted by outsiders to be the strongest No. 1 pick in CBA history and was even hailed as the next Yi Jianlian. The scouting template given to him was Yi Jianlian. Wang Shaojie played for five seasons in Beikong, neither hot nor cold, averaging around 8 points. If he performed well, Beikong would not have lent him to Guangdong. Beikong's frontcourt has Zou Yuchen and Shen Zijie, so they really don't need Wang Shaojie anymore.
Wang Shaojie has good physical qualities, but his offensive methods are too monotonous. Besides dunking, there are almost no other scoring methods. Moreover, Wang Shaojie's defense is very poor, which is also the reason why Du Feng keeps him on the bench. Back then, when Du Feng served as the head coach of the national team, he also recruited Wang Shaojie into the national team, and this loan was also Du Feng's idea.
