Lin Wei scored 0-for-12 in two NCAA games. This is the CBA scoring leader. Guo Shiqiang is really good at reading people.

At the beginning of the new NCAA season, Chinese guard Lin Wei, who just joined the University of Oregon, has obviously not adapted yet. In the first two games of the season, he made 0 of 12 shots from the field and did not score in sports games. You must know that he was the scoring leader among domestic players in the CBA last season, a "scoring machine" who averaged 21 points per game. However, everything changed in the NCAA. Lin Wei suddenly seemed to be unable to play. Not only did he lose his shooting sight, but also the trust of the head coach.

November 5th was Lin Wei's NCAA career debut. Against the University of Hawaii, he served as the team's starting point guard and played 17 minutes. He made 0 of 7 shots, including 0 of 4 three-pointers, and 2 free throws. He only scored 2 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, and 4 turnovers; his University of Oregon narrowly defeated the University of Hawaii 60-59. On November 8, the University of Oregon defeated Clayton University 67-63. In this game, Lin Wei came on as a substitute for 12 minutes, but missed all 5 shots and made 3 of 4 free throws. In the end, he only scored 3 points and 1 assist. There were no sports scores in two consecutive games. From starting to being a substitute, his playing time also dropped significantly. Lin Wei's road to studying abroad was equally difficult.

This summer Lin Wei announced his participation in the NBA draft, but his popularity was far less than that of Yang Hansen, and of course he was not selected. Afterwards, he rejected invitations from many teams to play in summer leagues and also rejected the contract offered by the Australian NBL team. He joined the NCAA University of Oregon and became a sophomore player. Last season, Lin Wei played 34 regular season games for the CBA Nanjing Tongxi team, averaging 21.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.4 steals in 34.6 minutes per game, shooting 41.3% from the field and 34.9% from the three-point range. In the two playoff games, Lin Wei averaged 30.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 11.0 assists and 1.5 steals per game, shooting 43.5% from the field.

As the scoring leader among domestic players in the CBA last season, he should theoretically be said to be one of the players with the strongest scoring ability in the country. In fact, this is not the case, just because his Nanjing Tongxi team has no other star players, and the team has almost no record requirements, so he can have a lot of ball rights and unlimited firing rights. The data of the domestic scoring leader is also piled up in this way, without any practical significance. Other domestic players, such as Hu Mingxuan, Hu Jinqiu, Sun Minghui, He Xining, Liao Sanning, etc., if the team has no record requirements and the whole team plays around him and has unlimited ball rights, I believe their scoring ability will not be worse than Lin Wei.

Lin Wei is so far the only player from the CBA to the NCAA. He is a pioneer and explorer and has very important symbolic significance for the in-depth exchanges between the CBA and the NCAA in the future. Although he had relatively good data in the preseason, these two games in the regular season really gave him a blow. Not only did Lin Wei but also more domestic players and fans see the facts clearly, how big the gap between the CBA and the NCAA is.

Of course, there are many reasons for Lin Wei's poor statistics in these two games. For example, a lot of strength training and muscle gain, etc., will affect the shooting feel; secondly, he is no longer the core of the team in the NCAA University of Oregon, and the team has very few tactics around him, and he is not suitable for a while; and there is the fast pace of NCAA games and strong confrontation, which Lin Wei needs to adapt to and change his style of play little by little.

There are also big problems with Lin Wei's basic shooting skills. His defensive attitude is average and his shooting stability is insufficient. Guo Shiqiang's coach has also specifically mentioned this problem before. Since last summer, Lin Wei has never been selected for the national team training team. Many fans believe that Guo Shiqiang's guidance is biased against Lin Wei. However, through these games, it can be seen that Guo Shiqiang's guidance has a unique vision and a very deep understanding of team basketball. Lin Wei does still have a big gap. If he wants to be selected to start in the NCAA or be selected for the national team, he has a long way to go.
