Liaoning Basketball Team Departs at 5 AM! Yang Ming Carries His Own Luggage, Ji Wei Falls Asleep at the Airport, Arriving at Destination at 12 PM
At 5 AM on January 16th, Beijing time, the Liaoning Basketball Team set off early in the morning, heading straight to the airport before dawn.
There's a saying that stars don't ask about those who rush, and time doesn't betray those with good intentions. We believe that as the Liaoning team's lineup becomes increasingly complete and foreign players gradually integrate, the defending champions will demonstrate their true strength and win back the confidence of fans!
Liaoning head coach Yang Ming also personally carried his suitcase this time because the young player Li Huizi, who previously offered to help him with his luggage, has been performing better and getting more playing time. Therefore, Yang Ming decided to let his beloved player rest more, save energy, and focus on the game to win more matches for Liaoning.
Although Yang Ming is a successful head coach of Liaoning, he has no airs at all. He gets along with the players like brothers, never acting superior, which is why this Liaoning team is very united and cohesive.
Zhao Jiwei, who returned from injury earlier than expected, fell asleep sitting on his suitcase during the wait at the airport. Yan Shouqi handed a ticket to Jiwei but found no response. It was Long Xiaowei, standing next to Jiwei, who woke him up so he could take the ticket, indicating how exhausted Jiwei was.
I've noticed that some netizens have criticized Jiwei for his recent poor performance in several games, but what they don't know is that the doctor originally advised Jiwei not to return in the second stage. However, seeing the team in trouble, he insisted on returning early. Given that Jiwei's current recovery is less than 50%, I hope everyone can understand and tolerate him more.
The Liaoning team arrived at the Xiaoshan International Airport in Hangzhou, Zhejiang at 10:36 AM, then changed transportation to Ningbo, the home court of the Ningbo men's basketball team, and reached the hotel in Ningbo, their destination, at noon, which added to everyone's fatigue after the journey.
According to the plan, after putting their luggage in the hotel and having lunch, the Liaoning team will rest briefly in the afternoon before going to the Ningbo team's home court for their first training session. This allows them to loosen up and adapt to the environment of the Ningbo team's home court, which will benefit their performance in the match on the evening of the 17th.
The Liaoning team faces significant challenges in their three consecutive away games in Zhejiang. Fortunately, the opponents are progressively getting stronger, so they must win against the weakest Ningbo team, and they have a good chance against Zhejiang because both teams are currently in an incomplete lineup state.
Finally, facing Guangsha, which has the advantage of a devilish home court, will be particularly difficult because Liaoning lost in their own home court in the first encounter, making the away game even harder. However, Yang Ming can change his approach by boldly using young players while also utilizing foreign players Patton and Weber, who are in the integration period. He can tell them to go all out, and if they win, it's a bonus; if they lose, it doesn't matter because it exercises the lineup and benefits everyone's growth. If they meet Guangsha again in the playoffs, they can deal with them properly then. What do you think? Welcome to leave comments and exchange ideas, let's discuss together!
