OTE s debut 0 out of 5! The mixed-blood guard is not even as good as Zhao Weilun, so it may be difficult to get Guo Shiqiang s magic eyes in the future

As a mixed-blood guard, Zhu Zheng had appeared in the fans' sight as early as last year. This year, he finally put on the national jersey and represented the national youth team in the U19 Men's Basketball World Cup. In the first game against Canada, Zhu Zheng played 25 minutes, scoring 19 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists. During the entire game, Zhu Zheng played 6 games, averaging 11.2 points, 2.3 rebounds, 4 assists and 1.3 steals per game, with shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentages of 39.7% and 30.4% respectively.

Although he has received offers from many NCAA schools, Zhu Zheng still needs to play for a year of high school. Not long ago, he transferred to Calvary Christian, a top high school in the United States. At the same time, the team will also participate in the OTE league with Fear of God. Recently, Zhu Zheng made his debut for Fear of God. His starting touch was not good, and he made 0 of 5 shots in the game, scoring 4 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists with only free throws.

As a comparison, Zhao Weilun also joined the OTE League's Bingxin team last year. At that time, he played for the team in 14 games. During his 29.2 minutes of playing time, he scored 13.9 points, 2.1 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 1.3 steals, with shooting percentages and three-point shooting percentages of 47.8% and 42.5% respectively. Although Zhu Zheng is a mixed-race player, he has grown up in the United States since he was a child and has not undergone particularly formal youth training training, so he plays in this kind of semi-professional league. Compared with Zhao Weilun who grew up in the European youth training system since he was a child, there is still a certain gap.

In fact, from this U19 Men's Basketball World Cup, it can be seen that Zhu Zheng is a defender with obvious advantages and disadvantages. In terms of offensive ability, although he has, he is not top-notch. He may be a well-behaved defender. If he really wants to let go, his offensive firepower may not be as good as Zhao Weilun. Although Zhu Zheng had previously stated in an interview that his goal was to hit the NBA, returning to reality, it is indeed unrealistic for Zhu Zheng, who is already 18 years old, to improve his skills in the past year.

But no matter what, as an American defender with ball offense, Zhu Zheng may not be high, but the lower limit can still exceed most domestic defenders. The next thing he has to do is to continuously improve his practical experience in OTE. Next year's NCAA school selection, the most common guard in the United States, like him, may still need to choose a school that is truly suitable for him.

In the future, if Zhu Zheng wants to truly wear the national team's uniform, he still needs to make a name for himself in the United States. Although Guo Shiqiang reused Wang Junjie in the Asian Cup this summer, Guo Shiqiang is actually more cautious in hiring foreign players. So if Zhu Zheng fails to make a name for himself in the United States, it will be difficult for Guo Shiqiang to catch the eyes of his future.
