ZHELIN WANG
24-year old power forward Zhelin Wang (214-PF-94) had an amazing evening in the last round for Fujian S. and receives a Interperformances Player of the Week award for round 41. He had a double-double of 37 points and 19 rebounds, while his team crushed Xinjiang FT (#5, 26-13) with 19-point margin 117-98. Fujian S. maintains the 7th position in Chinese league. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost a few games earlier this season. Fujian S. will need more victories to improve their 23-17 record. In the team's last game Wang had a remarkable 61.9% from 2-point range. He has many years of experience at Fujian S., through which he has constantly improved. Wang has impressive league stats. He is in league's top in rebounds (6th best: 13.5rpg) and averages solid 1.5bpg and 54.9% FGP.
Second best performed player last round was Kyle Fogg (190-PG-90) of Guangzhou LL. He is American guard in his second season at Guangzhou LL. In the last game Fogg recorded impressive triple-double of 46 points, 12 rebounds and 13 assists. Of course Guangzhou LL cruised to a 136-126 relatively comfortable win over the lower-ranked Shanxi Z. (#14, 14-26). The game was between two teams which are definitely not main contenders for the title. But Guangzhou LL managed to improve slightly their position in standings taking 9th place. His team lost some distance to top teams. But 21-19 record is not bad and everything may still change. Fogg is well-known at Guangzhou LL and he already established his position as one of the team's leaders. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 34.5ppg (#5). His other stats are also decent: 8.4rpg and 7.9apg.
Third place about best performers goes to guard Dominique Jones (193-G-88) of Jilin NE T. (#12). Jones got into 30-points club by scoring 40 points in the last round. He went also for ten rebounds and eleven assists. Despite Jones' great performance Jilin NE T. lost 123-124 to the lower-ranked Bayi R. (#17, 10-30). But his team cannot count on just a single shooter as he also needs help of the other teammates. The chances of Jilin NE T. ranking at the top of the league, however are very questionable as they have already lost 20 games, recording just nineteen victories. With bigger assistance of his teammates, Jones could help Jilin NE T. to bring them higher in the standings. Jones has a great season in China. After 39 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in assists with 8.0apg (5th best).
Other top performing players last week: 4. Donatas Motiejunas (213-F/C-90) of Shandong GS - 39 points and 10 rebounds 5.
