CBA League: Behind Shanghai Men's Basketball's Close Loss to Liaoning Bensteel, How Many Unknown Secrets Are Hidden
The secrets behind Shanghai Men's Basketball's narrow defeat against Liaoning Bensteel in the CBA league are numerous and little-known. Netizens have keenly pointed out that the problem with Shanghai's foreign aid, Hawkins, has been mentioned several times: he can jump but not break through, his methods are too single, his scoring and pressure resistance ability is poor, and his defensive intensity completely fails when it goes up. When the team needs a small foreign aid who can break through to tear open the defense and score at critical moments, the two small foreign aids of Shanghai added together are not as good as one Fergie. Since the second stage, Shanghai Men's Basketball is not just relying on one Lofton to play the game; others also stand out and know what they need to do. The transformation of Shanghai is not because of the arrival of Little Fatty, but because the head coach has changed, from Liu Peng to Lu Wei.
If it were still Tyron Peng, even Durant would be useless. Although Li Hongquan didn't make the final three-pointer to tie the game, he played really well throughout the game! Don't start blowing up Hawkins just because of a couple of eye-catching performances; problems should still be faced and solved, rather than avoided or glossed over. A shortcoming is a shortcoming, and it's useless to only pick on the soft targets. In this game, Li Tianrong was a bit nervous today. It's okay, the game is over, don't carry any psychological burden. We'll just keep playing the next game as we did. The team fought to the end today, and fans can accept both winning and losing.
Winning by relying on referees is a game that was set beforehand, and Yu Jia kept talking about Shanghai's various shortcomings from beginning to end, setting the tone for the result right from the start.
Leaving aside the factor of referees, Yang Ming was indeed very well prepared for this game. The restrictions on the pick-and-roll and Xue Bu in the first half were really well done. However, our adjustments in the second half were also very targeted, and it was interesting to watch the duel between Lu Wei and Yang Ming. Start looking for capable foreign aid to replace Master Huo and DJ quickly. Without Xue Bu and Lofton, there is no third foreign aid available for these tough battles. Now Shanghai has changed its appearance, and this state makes the playoffs possible. Being able to play like this away against Liaoning also makes it possible to compete for the championship. Liaoning is just missing a Zhang Zhenlin, but Shanghai also let go of a Lofton. To be honest, Liaoning's current tactics really can't beat Shanghai.
Lu Wei's Shanghai team is indeed strong, and their momentum cannot be denied even though their winning streak was ended by Liaoning. Now Liaoning's team is getting older, their physical strength can't keep up, and it's normal that their later strength is insufficient. Do you still think it's that young and energetic Liaoning team with plenty of drive? Moreover, Ji Wei is in an adjustment period, and Jin Jin can't play either.
Players like Li Xiaoxu and Fu Hao should stop playing. If the CBA continues to play like this, domestic players will become worse and worse. Although Shanghai lost the game, they won two foreign players. Little Fatty didn't play, and under the help of the referees, Bradley finally didn't play either, so Liaoning's victory wasn't particularly glorious.
