Liaoning Men's Basketball Team suffers a close loss to Qingdao, and upon closer inspection, the reasons become clear! Netizens have pointed out incisively and vividly that Liaoning Men's Basketball Team often becomes arrogant after winning and faces criticism after losing, with no one being able to make a difference. The ages of Han Dejun, Zhao Jiwei, and Li Xiaoxu are all advancing, so don't really think that Wang Lanchen, Fu Hao, and Yan Shouqi are very strong; it would be difficult for them to even play in the playoffs. What used to be an invincible fourth quarter has now become a disgraceful one. Remember when coach Jiang Xingquan encouraged his players by saying: "Shoot boldly; if you score, it's yours; if you miss and we lose, it's on me." This is the kind of responsibility that an excellent coach should have. If Yang Ming does not make changes, Liaoning will continue to lose more games.
Without Morand, Liaoning is a completely different team from the championship-winning one, as seen in the early stages of last year's league when Morand was still in the United States. He supported the entire defensive system and initiated counterattacks. In the fourth quarter, Ferg made consecutive mistakes and continued to play unreasonably. Are there no domestic players available for Liaoning? I've always liked Yang Ming, from when he played to when he became captain and then coach, but now I'm at a loss for words. If he can leave Liaoning, he should do so quickly and seek other opportunities instead of continuing to disappoint the fans.
The main reason for Liaoning's loss in this game is Yang Ming's conservative use of personnel. With five minutes left in the fourth quarter, he should have let Fogg rest and let Wells take over, as Fogg was clearly fatigued. In the last two minutes, he missed two shots short, yet the coach kept using him until the end.
After 30 rounds of the league, Liaoning's domestic players' total points have never exceeded those of the foreign players; this game was the closest they've come. To put it bluntly, Liaoning's domestic players are too weak and overly reliant on foreign players! Yang Hanshen currently has the stamina to play in the NBA for only about 10-12 minutes. Therefore, he does not yet meet the conditions to play in the NBA. If his effective stamina could reach 20-25 minutes, he could join a weaker team as a starter or part of the main rotation. Yao Ming's lesson is that overexerting the body makes it easy to get injured; during Yao's era, centers emphasized physical confrontation, whereas now NBA centers need speed, stamina, and endurance as support.
Therefore, the best age for him to challenge the NBA should be around 22 years old, when his skills are more mature and comprehensive, with better physical confrontation and core strength. Once his basic physical qualities such as stamina, endurance, and speed improve, I believe he can join a weaker NBA team as a starter or part of the main rotation. Under normal circumstances, he could become a starter in his second season.
On the Liaoning side, after 30 rounds, domestic players who scored in double digits, after 30 rounds, Liaoning's average number of domestic players scoring in double digits per game was only 1.03 times. In 38 rounds, domestic players scored in double digits only 39 times. That's why they often collapse in the fourth quarter; it's because they can only field a single foreign player.
Thank you all for your continued attention. On the journey of creation, I am grateful for your company, and I will continue to work hard!
