The biggest improvement is the speed of his shot.
When Wang Zhizhi played games at home, his shooting speed was a bit slow.
Because he's tall, with excellent arm length, his athleticism is considered outstanding among domestic players.
Therefore, his shots are hard to disrupt; he has enough time to make his move and shoot the ball in the most reliable posture.
But in the NBA, that's not the case. The defenders are generally more physically fit than him, with faster speed, greater strength, and remarkable jumping ability.
If his shot speed is too slow, he'll get blocked or disrupted, and his shooting percentage will drop significantly.
In the NBA, everything has to be fast; you run fast, shoot fast, and react fast.
After a season of training, Wang Zhizhi's catch-and-shoot ability has greatly improved.
At the start, he became China Team's number one scoring weapon.
