After three years of restarting the dream-chasing journey, Zeng Fanbo, who set out again at the age of 22, can he stay in the NBA?

Although there are protective gears wrapped around your waist, you can only rely on a wheelchair when traveling. But none of these can shake Zeng Fanbo's determination to attack the NBA. Just as all Chinese fans were paying attention to Yang Hansen's prospects for the NBA, the US media revealed that Zeng Fanbo hired a new agent to attack the NBA again.

is different from Yang Hansen's pride. Zeng Fanbo is already 22 years old, and this is his last chance to compete in the NBA. He set off from Lighting three years ago but failed to enter the NBA. Now, three years have passed, will Zeng Fanbo have a chance? Can he succeed?

Chinese players have always been in the NBA, and big men have the advantage over small men. It's not just because Yao Ming entered the NBA as the No. 1 pick at the beginning of this century, which left the NBA with the impression that the Oriental man was reliable. Also because the big Americans are becoming more and more rough and Chinese, they can’t do anything except grabbing rebounds and eating cakes. With the return of the big ball era, the league needs big men who can play singles on their backs, so they set their sights on the East and Europe.

In comparison, it is much more difficult for Chinese forwards and defenders to attack the NBA because these two positions are full of talents. It is very difficult for Chinese players to win when static talent is at a disadvantage. Therefore, from this perspective, Zeng Fanbo's second-time impact on the NBA is still full of difficulties.

Even Zeng Fanbo's athletic ability and agility are at the ceiling level in the Asian front line. It cannot change his problem of not highlighting the long board of the US forward line. Therefore, Zeng Fanbo, a second attack on the NBA, must find his strengths to stay in the NBA.

The first one is a three-point shooting. The current NBA has a special liking for big forwards with shooting. For example, Michael Porter, the Nuggets Jr., got a 30 million contract by taking advantage of one hand. Zeng Fanbo can learn from Porter Jr. to make himself an anti-aircraft turret. Although his functions are somewhat single, he can stay in the NBA as a specialty player.

Many teams have the need to introduce big pitchers, including the Nuggets, Warriors, Lakers, and Rockets. These teams have a stable starting lineup and a poor salary space. They need to use puzzle players with little money to fill the lineup. Zeng Fanbo is undoubtedly a good choice. Zeng Fanbo not only has the opportunity to win the championship, but also can grow faster. Of course, if Zeng Fanbo can improve his ball-holding attack while specializing in three-point shooting, he will have the opportunity to become a champion-level puzzle.

The second one is unlimited defense replacement + inner frame protection. The current NBA offense advocates the ultimate five-outside, and defense relies on unlimited defense replacement. Even a big center like Jokic has to switch defenses from time to time. Therefore, big men with unlimited defense switching capabilities are very popular. Zeng Fanbo has certain ability to switch defenses, and even the fast and agile Japanese defender cannot escape Zeng Fanbo's defense. The NBA defender's athletic ability is definitely better than the Japanese defender, but it won't be much stronger after all. Therefore, judging from Zeng Fanbo's existing defense switching ability, he can also keep up with NBA-level defenders.

As long as the guards can keep up, there must be a certain frame protection for protecting the inside. Although Zeng Fanbo's arm span is not long (208 cm), his good bounce and speed make up for the short wingspan. Zeng Fanbo can average 1.5 blocks per game in the regular season, and his ability to protect the frame is no less than that of a big foreign player. Although Zeng Fanbo's ability to protect the frame will decline in the NBA scenario, even if he only averages one block per game, it is enough.

If you only position yourself as an engineer and a puzzle, you can gain a foothold in the NBA with Zeng Fanbo's talent and ability. After all, many teams need big pitchers, which is an opportunity he did not have when he entered the NBA three years ago. Maybe the result will be different this time.
