The morning sun had yet to fully illuminate the earth when fans of the Liaoning men's basketball team received a heartbreaking message. The team's core small forward, who had helped the team win four championships, was confirmed to be out for the season due to a serious injury and would not participate in any remaining matches.
This player is not only the technical core of the team but also a spiritual leader. His absence is undoubtedly a huge blow to Liaoning men's basketball team. Coach Yang Ming is heartbroken, knowing the importance of this beloved player to the team. Losing him will significantly reduce the team's combat effectiveness.
Fans are also very worried and have begun to re-evaluate Liaoning men's basketball team's prospects for winning a fourth consecutive championship. Without the presence of this core player, the road to defending their title seems abnormally difficult. Some even begin to lament that without him, Liaoning men's basketball team's championship dream may have been shattered prematurely.
However, facing adversity, Liaoning men's basketball team has not chosen to give up. The team is united and vows to overcome all difficulties to fight for honor. Although the road ahead is full of challenges, Liaoning men's basketball team will prove with practical actions that their champion's heart never fades.
This season, Liaoning men's basketball team has encountered a series of drastic changes since the offseason. First, the team gave up the priority to renew the contract with the big foreign aid Morand, which gave Guangdong Hongyuan the opportunity to snatch Morand with a higher salary; at the same time, Guo Ailun, who had a falling out with the management, was sent to the rebuilding Guangzhou team by Liaoning men's basketball team. As the most outstanding backcourt player in Liaoning men's basketball team's history, Guo Ailun's departure also marked the end of an era for Liaoning men's basketball team. But what is most frustrating is the team's frequent mistakes in recruitment. From the beginning with Achuer and Sayok to later with Ture, they were all difficult to meet the requirements of the team, and the constantly changing foreign aid also disrupted Yang Ming's tactical deployment.
Another problem plaguing Liaoning men's basketball team is the team's injuries. Zhang Zhenlin, who withdrew from the national team due to an injury outbreak during the offseason, went through a long period of recuperation and finally returned in December, only to get injured again after playing seven games when he collided with Fan Ziming's hip in a game against Beijing Shougang and has not returned to the game to this day. Another core player, Zhao Jiwei, suffered a severe flu attack, with his throat abscessed and inflamed, making it very difficult to speak at times. Due to the poor performance of the team, Zhao Jiwei also forced himself to return before his body was fully recovered, but judging from recent performances, physical factors have also affected Zhao Jiwei's performance to a certain extent.
Just now, Liaoning men's basketball team officially announced that the team's frontline core Cong Mingchen, due to injury problems, has been confirmed to be out for the season and will not participate in the remaining games. There has been no news about Cong Mingchen since the start of the season, and when he previously promoted the National Ice and Snow Games for his hometown Yichun, the long-unseen Cong Mingchen appeared with a very haggard image, which also made people feel distressed.
Now, the news of Cong Mingchen's season-ending injury has also made people feel very sorry for him. As an excellent frontline 3D player, Liaoning men's basketball team could win four championship trophies, and Cong Mingchen played a significant role in it, making great contributions to the team. In Yang Ming's tactical system, Cong Mingchen also plays a very important role, with his defense and three-point shooting being entrusted with heavy responsibilities. However, now that Cong Mingchen is out for the season and Zhang Zhenlin is still unable to return, Yang Ming is short of personnel on the frontline and can only temporarily replace them with Wells, Yan Shouqi, and Li Huyi. It can only be hoped that Zhang Zhenlin's return can alleviate this dilemma. It can be said that Liaoning men's basketball team's road to defending their title is not smooth sailing!
