The 8th pick in the first round! Another Chinese player was selected by the American team and had the opportunity to play in the Mavericks

Good news came from the United States early in the morning. Lin Wei was selected by the G League Texas Legends in the 8th pick in the first round. The G League is also called the NBA Development League, and has always been known as the "talent precipitation pool" of the NBA. The legendary Texas parent team is the Dallas Mavericks, and the Dallas Mavericks' main controller Irving was reimbursed for a serious injury. The Mavericks have extremely lacked defenders, which also means that as long as Lin Wei works hard, he will have a chance to play in the Mavericks.

Even if Lin Wei can't get to the Mavericks, as long as he can gain a foothold in the Development League, he can get the ball. After all, players who can play in the Development League are all at the quasi-NBA level. Ordinary double-energy guards in the Development League are all killing all sides in the CBA. As long as Lin Wei can play in rotation, it means that his ability is higher than that in the CBA level.

If it is just like this, it will not be enough to excite fans across the country. After all, it was his own business that Lin Wei was chosen. No matter how good the development is, it is just that the individual is strong. The reason for the real excitement is that the two signs that the Chinese people have thought of have already appeared.

Omen 1: Chinese defenders have been recognized by the NBA

We have always output big men to the NBA. Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Bater and Zhou Qi, at least they can be selected regardless of whether they can play or not. But the defender has always been a blank, and even a strong man like Guo Ailun cannot compete in the Development League. Lin Wei's selection is of great significance.

Lin Wei is a representative of the domestic dual-energy guards and has no experience in studying abroad. He automatically qualifies for the NBA draft just because he is old. Lin Wei was selected, which shows that the NBA has noticed the group of Chinese local dual-energy guards. Try to give the Chinese defender a chance to show himself. Regardless of whether Lin Wei can enter the NBA, as long as he can play in a high-level league for a few years, his confrontation and awareness will be greatly improved and he will be able to feed back to the national team.

Omen 2: The Chinese men's basketball team is about to return to its peak

At present, the Chinese men's basketball team is already at the second-rate level in Asia. The reason is that the level of guards is too low, and it is useless for a big man to be strong in the international arena to not be able to drive the ball. The root cause of the weakness of the Chinese men's basketball guard being unable to improve is that the local guards have no chance to play in high-level leagues, and at most they can go out to train for one month at their own expense, but the improvement is limited.

Lin Wei's success is not only his own success, but also the success of a group of young talents such as Zhao Weilun and Zhu Zheng. Lin Wei can feed back to the men's basketball team in the short term and help the men's basketball team to strive for the next Olympics. If talents such as Zhao Weilun can play in the Development League or even the NBA, they can ensure that the men's basketball team has the opportunity to play in the Olympics for more than ten years.

Once this positive incentive cycle begins, Chinese defenders will continue to play overseas. The men's basketball team's decades of shortcomings will also be completely filled, and the men's basketball team's return to the top is just around the corner.

Although it is just a sign of the situation, a good start is half the success. History will remember Lin Wei, the icebreaker, and this day will also be remembered.
