At present, Liaoning Men's Basketball Team has already stocked up four foreign players, which has put the previously outstanding Wells into a dilemma. It should be noted that Yang Ming generally arranges four foreign players (Ferg, Wells, Patton, Weber) to appear in each game, and for Wells, who can only exert his influence by holding the ball, this undoubtedly makes his performance on the court seem quite struggling.
In this round of matches, Liaoning team met Ningbo men's basketball team, which ranked at the bottom of the league. Don't underestimate this match. Liaoning team didn't play easily in this game. The two sides were deadlocked until the final quarter before the outcome was decided. In the end, Liaoning team narrowly won the opponent with a six-point advantage, with the score fixed at 113 to 107. In this game, one player stood out, Ferg. He continued his excellent form on the court, playing for 37 minutes. In this not short time, he shot 23 times and hit 11 times, taking the highest 34 points in the team with such an efficient performance.
In addition, the newly joined big foreign aid Weber also performed quite efficiently on the court. In just 17 minutes, he successfully scored 19 points and grabbed 7 rebounds. In contrast, Patton and Wells, who are poor in attacking ability, had almost no eye-catching performance in this game, and their sense of presence is really weak. Recently, Liaoning Men's Basketball Team is not in very good condition. In this case, the team really needs to solve the thorny problem that Wells' state is good or bad and changeable.
In the past three games, Wells failed to score double digits in two of them. With the addition of Patton and Weber, Wells will inevitably find it difficult to have as much playing time and shooting opportunities as before. You should know that Wells is not like Ferg, who can play freely whether he has the ball or not. If coach Yang Ming cannot give Wells the due tactical attention, then the four foreign players of Liaoning team may really fail to achieve the ideal overall effect of 1+1+1+1 equals 4.
At present, Ferg is undoubtedly still the most critical core foreign aid of Liaoning Men's Basketball Team. As for the second foreign aid, judging from the current situation, the newly joined James Weber is very likely to take on this important task. This big foreign aid with strong independent offensive ability is quite similar to Sampson, who once stayed in the team for a short time.
Considering that Liaoning team needs someone to share the pressure for the two old men in the interior, there is also a possibility that coach Yang Ming will continue to take corresponding measures against Wells in the future, pushing him back in the rotation lineup, and it is not impossible to push him to the third or even fourth position. If Wells' offensive firepower point on the court is restricted, and Liaoning team's local guards can't shoulder the scoring burden, Liaoning team will inevitably encounter more and more difficult situations in the following competitions and journeys.
Unlike Hugo, who dared to give more playing opportunities to young players in the team, after Yang Ming took charge of the team again last season, he actually "put those young people on the shelf" and continued to "squeezed out" the remaining value of the veterans, which is precisely the key reason why Yang Ming can't give full play to the role of the four foreign players.
If he could pay attention to Zhang Chen Zhi Feng, Liu Yan Yu and other promising interior players, then when Wells and Zhao Ji Wei partner in the backcourt, the team would have the opportunity to achieve a good situation of balanced strength between inside and outside lines. However, judging from the current situation, there are only two old men and Fu Hao in the interior. As a result, in order to create more space for Weber and Patton to show their skills, and thus reduce the defensive pressure in the team's restricted area, Wells has become a "sacrifice".
