The initial experience of the finals is not good, it can also be a valuable asset towards maturity. After all, the average age of Zhejiang team is only 21.8 years old.
On the evening of May 15, Zhejiang men’s basketball, who entered the CBA finals for the first time, failed to win. It took only 11 days from the ecstasy of creating history to the frustration of being swept. During the four finals tour, the youngest team this season paid tuition for experience and also saw the details of the strong team from Xinke the treble Liaoning team. However, the Zhejiang team has always insisted on playing the youth card, which has entered a larger harvest period. The new generation represented by Cheng Shuaiqi is about to complete the transformation, making the outside world full of expectations for the future of the Zhejiang team.

Gain experience in the first final
The rise of Zhejiang team has long been followed. In the 2019-2020 season, the team used the Quanhua class to become the Black Horse of the league in the rematch stage. The first one in the playoffs was the top 8, taking the first step of breakthrough. In the 2020-2021 season, this youth army regular season ranked in the top three, straight through the top 8, and won the Qingdao team 13 points in the 1/4 final, further refreshing the best result in young pioneer team history. Last season, when the first four were locked in the regular season, the top eight playoff games were swept out by the Guangdong team in two games.
The setback last season made the Zhejiang team more prosperous this season. They won the lead in the first stage of the regular season. They only lost 7 games in the 42 rounds and locked the regular season champion early. He reached the semi-final for the second time in three years. In the contest of “who can create history” with Shenzhen team, Zhejiang team staged a good reversal play for two consecutive times and became the new army in the finals.
Facing the Liaoning team, the Zhejiang team, whose average age is only 21.8 years old, was completely suppressed. Wang Shilong, who took the position of coach in the first year, played all the cards in his hand and was still unable to change the overall situation. Gaili, the main small foreign aid, was in no state due to injury; Wu Qian, the local core, was mainly watched in the first two games, until the diagnosis of rib fracture failed to accompany the team to the end.
In the regular season, the wind was smooth and the playoffs were strong. Zhejiang Youth Army should be proud of the team’s progress and achievements this season, but it needs to be known that it is really strong, such as Liaoning team, it was exchanged with the failed experience of the 8th runner-up in the first 10 finals. Whether it was Zhao Jiwei, Han Dejun or coach Yang Ming, they all defeated many difficulties and climbed to the top.
In front of the inside information, Zhejiang team is the real attacker, and young people still have a long way to go.
Outlook
The future of the new generation
From 1.9 seconds before the end of the third game of the semi-final, Cheng Shuai, 23 years old, seemed to be instantly enlightened and became the “thigh” of the Zhejiang team “. When Wu Qian was targeted and his play was affected, Cheng Shuai had been trying to respond to help the team change the situation. Even Wang Shilong said that love will become more confident now.
Cheng Shuaiqi was born in 1999, which was his sixth season. Wang Yibo and Liu Zeyi, who were his peers, also entered CBA in 2017, lu Wenbo, who is two years older, started his career one season earlier. He was born in front of Wu in 1994, which was his 11th season.
This group of players from Zhejiang team grew up hand in hand from their youth, after beating in the league, they started the “accelerator key” three years ago and began to enter the harvest period. At present, most of the people in the team are still under 25 years old and have had experience in the finals. Yu Jiahao, who was in the second grade, was “taught” by first-class domestic insiders like Han Dejun “.
A bad initial experience in the finals can also be a valuable asset towards maturity. The new generation of players, such as Cheng Shuai, will continue to grow, and Zhejiang team is expected to change the pattern of CBA in the future.
