On December 27th, Beijing time, there were news related to Zhao Jiwei, Yang Ming talking about Wells, and Ferg's physical discomfort.
Zhao Jiwei cheers for the whole team
In a CBA regular season game that ended on the evening of December 26th, Liaoning Men's Basketball faced Guangzhou Team for the third time this season. Liaoning Team was short of personnel, and the game was extremely difficult. Liaoning led in the first quarter, was counterattacked by the opponent in the second quarter, and both sides fought until the last moment. Liaoning won 98:97 with Han Dejun's stable free throws. After the game, Zhao Jiwei congratulated the team on this hard-won victory.
Liaoning Team has encountered many difficulties this season, including foreign aid issues, aging personnel, young players not being able to step up, and weak bench lineup strength. However, these problems may be resolved one by one with the arrival of Zhao Jiwei. Therefore, it can be said that although Liaoning Team's problems are serious, the severity and impact will not be as severe as everyone thinks. The key is when Zhao Jiwei will return.
Zhao Jiwei's injury is both troublesome and simple. His throat injury will not affect his playing level after returning, but the current situation often recurs, and it is impossible to give a clear answer as to when he can return to the court. However, although Zhao Jiwei cannot quickly return to the court at present, his heart is still with everyone, and it is hoped that he can return to the court as soon as possible to restore Liaoning Team to the championship lineup.
Yang Ming highly praises Wells' attitude
The reason why Liaoning could win against Guangzhou was crucial in the last quarter. In this quarter, Wells stood out. Although he performed average in the first three quarters and had more turnovers, he scored 19 points in the last quarter to help the team win this tough victory. After the game, Yang Ming also took Wells to the press conference. A media asked why Wells adapted so well and quickly integrated into the Liaoning team? Yang Ming mentioned one point.
Yang Ming said: Wells' attitude is very good. Since the first day he joined the team, he has shown a very positive attitude. This might also be the reason why Yang Ming trusts him so much. In this game, Yang Ming hopes that Wells can take on more organizational responsibilities because Zhang Zhenlin and Zhao Jiwei are not available, Wang Lanqin's assists are not good enough, and when Ferg is not on the court, the organization will fall on Wells. Although Wells made 3 turnovers in the first quarter, his performance improved in subsequent games. Now, Wells' integration can alleviate Liaoning's problems, and his finishing ability is still quite good.
Ferg's physical discomfort
In addition to Zhao Jiwei and Zhang Zhenlin's injuries, some minor injuries may affect the players' performance, such as Ferg today. Ferg played particularly well in the first half, especially in the second quarter, helping Liaoning stabilize the situation. However, after playing for a few minutes in the third quarter, Ferg was replaced by Yang Ming and did not play much in the rest of the game. Yang Ming also explained the reason after the game, mainly because Ferg felt uncomfortable after returning from halftime, so he was replaced in the third quarter when the situation seemed wrong. It is unclear what the specific problem is, and it is hoped that the players can stay healthy.
