During the CBA All-Star Weekend, Yi Jianlian said "Long time no see", which made all the old fans burst into tears. It has been almost a year since last season’s finals to March. Although the national team has no competition mission, the CBA League has entered the post-95s era. Even Jeff and Zhang Hao, who were born in the 2000s, have proven themselves in this league. They are the stars of hope in the league. In the charm of competitive sports, the replacement of the old with the new is inevitable, and the most direct one is the star-making platform of the All-Star Weekend. We can see the busy work of Wang Shaojie, Zhang Zhenlin and others, which proves from the side that the CBA League needs new appearance players and signature superstars to further stabilize the promotion of the league.

Yi Jianlian’s withdrawal from the CBA league and the national team will be the most realistic part of the next two years. From Guangdong fans to Chinese basketball, mentioning Yao Ming, Wang Yi, and others, Yi Jianlian has not won many honors in international competitions in his career. He is already a legendary athlete. From Guo Dao to Wang Zhelin, they are actually already in the CBA League and Asian Cup Series. I have proven my juniors, but considering the future potential, development direction, and personal technical characteristics, it is basically difficult to achieve substantial growth. In terms of cultivating Yi Jianlian's successor, the CBA League has a clear answer, which is to cultivate Zhang Zhenlin carefully.

Zhang Zhenlin is the most physically fit forward player that has emerged in the Chinese basketball world in the past three years. Excluding the injured Ding Yanhang, we can see that Zhou Peng, Zhai Xiaochuan, Abdul and others basically have some technical deficiencies, especially the 2019 World Cup lineup directed by Li Nan, which has long used a three-back tactic, further highlighting the fatigue of the forwards. . Zhang Zhenlin, who is 2.08 meters tall, fits all the temperaments, explosive physical fitness, good flying, three-point shooting ability, and low-key private life. At the same time, he is very humble and polite in public. This is very similar to the United Arab League.

Therefore, under the hard configuration and soft conditions, Zhang Zhenlin can almost be said to have broken out the young players through hard power in 1999. In the most sensitive period of the Chinese men's basketball team, Du Feng and Yao Ming have no reason to reject such super high-quality young talents. Previously, they were specially recruited to the men's basketball training list. It can even be said that the future development height may not be limited to the CBA League or the Asian League, but to prove itself on the international stage.
