Another 13 points, 7 assists, and 4 steals! CBA's defensive stopper transforms into a bench hero, thanks to Qiu Biao for not giving up
The match between Shandong Men's Basketball Team and Qingdao Men's Basketball Team is one you'll regret missing!
Do you want to know who the player on the court was that once made the opposing team tremble?
That guy on the court, sprinting, raining down three-pointers, and making steal after steal, it's like he turned on a cheat code.
I'm talking about none other than Yudehao of the Shandong Men's Basketball Team, the defensive stopper!
Honestly, when you see the game come down to the last few minutes, with the score as tense as a seesaw battle and everyone's heart racing, you'll find that the key player in this game isn't always the star foreign player you imagined.
That bench hero who leapt from the substitutes' bench - Yudehao - really carried the entire Shandong Men's Basketball Team to victory!
When the final whistle blew and Qingdao Men's Basketball Team couldn't make a comeback, it was instead Shandong Men's Basketball Team that maintained their lead, all thanks to Yudehao's eye-catching performance!
On the court, he was like the soul of the team, shining offensively and defensively like a shadow.
Throughout the game, Yudehao contributed 13 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 steals, and 1 block!
Honestly, these stats look like a reward from heaven, but his performance is more than just numbers. His five consecutive points at a critical moment directly broke the stalemate and allowed Shandong Men's Basketball Team to steadily win this tough battle.
Netizens commented: Yudehao really put in an impressive effort in this game. It was those steals at critical moments that helped the team gain many points, especially that steal followed by a direct break and layup, it's touching!
The tenacity on defense and efficiency on offense make me truly believe he should be the MVP of this game!
In fact, this evaluation is not without reason.
Everyone knows that although Yudehao's performance this season has been somewhat low-key, he's a versatile key that doesn't show off much.
Especially against Qingdao Men's Basketball Team, he not only found his rhythm offensively, frequently firing from beyond the three-point line and hitting several precise shots, but even at critical moments in the game, his three-pointers were like turning on a super god mode, completely igniting Shandong Men's Basketball Team's counterattack wave.
This guy's toughness on defense also makes people have to admire him, continuous steals, pressing defense, playing Qingdao Men's Basketball Team like a child, and by the end, they didn't even know how they got stunned.
Think about it, Shandong Men's Basketball Team's foreign players played well too, Gali, Chris, Moore, etc., all contributed a lot, but if it weren't for Yudehao's insatiable defense in the backcourt, relying solely on the firepower of the foreign players, the result of the game would definitely not have been so ideal.
On the court, Yudehao is like a sea god's needle, able to play a stable role whether on offense or defense. He always appears at the right place at the right time on the court, and has even grabbed key rebounds and delivered key assists more than once.
You also need to know that Yudehao is not just a simple substitute hero.
His style of play is simply a typical defensive all-around guard, and although his regular-season stats this season are not outstanding, his presence on the court is huge!
Yudehao acts like a lubricant, always making the team's cooperation smoother.
Whether it's defensive counterattacks or offensive organization, his role is almost everywhere.
Don't look at his scoring, often silently contributing behind the scenes, helping the whole team stabilize the situation.
In the recent game between Shandong Men's Basketball Team and Xinjiang Men's Basketball Team, Yudehao showed a side of himself that was unknown to others.
In that game, he not only scored 15 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, and 4 steals, but also made up for the team's shortcomings outside the three-point line with a 60% three-point shooting rate.
Imagine, without his ignition outside the three-point line, Shandong Men's Basketball Team might have had a very difficult time winning that game.
Netizens say: Yudehao can perform so comprehensively this season, which really impresses me. He not only defends well but also shoots three-pointers accurately, and he dares to take responsibility at critical moments. How can you not like him?
He is now absolutely an important piece of Shandong Men's Basketball Team!
In fact, during this period of games, we can see a gradually transforming Yudehao - he is no longer just a defensive machine but is beginning to show strong explosive power on the offensive end.
Look at those breakthroughs he made in the game, they're so exciting!
Especially against Xinjiang Men's Basketball Team, Yudehao once became another highlight of Shandong Men's Basketball Team's offense with his efficient personal offense.
But when it comes to his offense, everyone may feel a bit surprised - after all, in past seasons, he has always focused on defense, with relatively mediocre offensive performance.
But this season, especially under the tutelage of Qiubiao, Yudehao has not only honed his defensive skills but also improved his offensive performance better and better, truly a double-sided character!
Qiubiao's tactical system has played a very important role in improving Yudehao.
As the head coach of Shandong Men's Basketball Team, Qiubiao has obviously increased the team's offensive fluidity and defensive intensity.
His trust in Yudehao is not only reflected in defense but even on the offensive end, Qiubiao has given him more room to play.
This allows Yudehao's versatility to be maximized. He is not only an iron wall on defense but also an important piece on offense.
Netizens commented: I like coaches like Qiubiao who dare to use young players. He can see Yudehao's potential and give him more opportunities, finally allowing us to see his potential on the offensive end, which is really surprising!
In fact, the reason why Yudehao can play better and better under Qiubiao is largely because Qiubiao trusts him so much, allowing him to take on more offensive responsibilities on the basis of defense.
This trust not only boosts Yudehao's self-confidence but also allows him to be more at ease on the court.
Back to the game itself.
You might think: with such a spirited and versatile player, can Shandong Men's Basketball Team go further in the playoffs?
My answer is: of course they can!
If Yudehao continues to play at this high level, especially if he explodes at critical moments, he will undoubtedly be one of the key factors for Shandong Men's Basketball Team to challenge the top eight in the playoffs.
Don't forget, basketball games are not just performances by foreign players.
Those ordinary yet efficient local players are the unsung heroes who determine the final outcome.
For Shandong Men's Basketball Team, Yudehao is undoubtedly one of the sea gods' needles.
If he can continue to maintain this state, I dare to bet that Shandong Men's Basketball Team in the playoffs will definitely surprise you!
To sum up, all of this behind the scenes, we still have to thank Qiubiao's discerning eye.
It was his tactical arrangements that gave Yudehao, this invisible man, more opportunities to exert his all-round potential.
Thank this coach for not giving up on any possible player, otherwise, we might have missed one wonderful moment after another!
If you still think Yudehao is just a bench hero now, let me tell you - you're wrong!
He is no longer that ordinary substitute player but the core sword of Shandong Men's Basketball Team this season.
Everyone needs to start paying attention to him, his performance will definitely surprise you!
