News on October 8, a few days ago, the 2023 NBA prospective No. 1 pick and 18-year-old French center Wen Banyama caused heated discussions on the Internet with his outstanding talent. Ma was compared with the Chinese team star Zhou Qi .
Victor Wembanyama (Victor Wembanyama), born in Nanterre, France on January 4, 2004, is a French basketball player and a center forward.
The 18-year-old Wenban Yama is about 2.24 meters tall and has a wingspan of about 2.44 meters. He plays for the Paris Metropolitan 92 team.
Recently, Wenban Yama recently followed Ligue 1 team Paris Metropolitan 92 to the United States, and played two exhibition games with the Development League Ignition team. The 18-year-old golden boy performed explosively, averaging 36.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 4.5 blocks per game .
For the astonishing talent of this quasi-No. 1 pick, Lakers boss LeBron James are all very shocked, and he is full of praise for the 18-year-old.
Regarding this, former Chinese national basketball player Ma Jian wrote on social media: "Zhou Qi's body is comparable to that of Wenban Yama, and he feels great. If he had a good training system since he was a child, he would practice guard and striker perimeter skills more. At least he should be a first-round draft pick..."
Zhou Qi is 2.17 meters tall, plays the center position like Wenban Yama, and has a thinner body.
On April 15, 2016, Zhou Qi officially announced his participation in the 2016 NBA Draft. On June 24, Zhou Qi was selected by Houston Rockets in the second round with the 43rd overall pick.
On July 7, 2017, the Houston Rockets officially announced the signing of Zhou Qi. Zhou Qi and the Rockets signed a four-year NBA minimum salary contract of US$5.57 million.
But Zhou Qi only represented the Rockets played for one season before being waived, and then sadly returned to China.
In this regard, netizens said, " Guo Ailun has the same body shape as Curry . If you practice more three-pointers, you should at least be a first-round pick." Is it because we don’t take the disadvantages of the yellow race seriously at all? Do we really think that we can fly to the sky at 2 meters➕?” “Ma Jian is about the same size as a magician. If he practiced passing and three-pointers hard since childhood, he should be among the top five in the first round. "Show" "My body shape is comparable to Iverson's. If I train well from an early age, I will at least be the No. 1 pick." Pushed it up..." "How much did you drink?" "Zhou Qi's mentality is not good, let him play, he said he is not ready yet, it is useless to give him a chance."
