Why is Gao Shiyang Playing So Well? Gao Shiyang Shares His Thoughts
After four quarters of fierce competition, Shandong Men's Basketball Team finally defeated Guangzhou Team with a score of 112 to 105. In this game, Shandong Men's Basketball Team actually started off poorly, falling behind in the first quarter. However, they fought back fiercely, becoming more and more courageous. They turned the situation around in the second quarter, achieving a lead and then seized victory with determination. Shandong Men's Basketball Team played with momentum, showcasing their characteristics, making full use of the three-point line, and indeed demonstrating their spirit and preparation.
After the game, Gao Shiyang was interviewed by media reporters. Gao Shiyang commented, "This is a victory for the team, not a game where I led the team individually; it's because everyone played well and unitedly. Although our team has faced some difficulties this season, with not-so-good results, I believe we need to maintain this momentum and fight one game at a time. I still hope that we can maintain this momentum in the next game. Today's match against Guangzhou Team and the upcoming match against Shanxi Team are both crucial battles for securing playoff spots. I hope we can play as a team, fighting and defending together, and achieve good results on the road."
Gao Shiyang believes that this victory is not due to any single individual but rather the collective effort of the entire team, a team victory. He revealed why Shandong Nalan fought so fiercely and why he played so well: because Shandong Men's Basketball Team's current performance is not great, and the upcoming games are all about securing positions. To enter the playoffs, there is only one way: to fight. Gao Shiyang spoke frankly from his heart.
Speaking of this being a team victory for Shandong Men's Basketball Team, it is indeed true. Guangzhou Team had multiple players scoring double digits in this game. For example, Shajuek made 7 out of 10 three-pointers, scoring a total of 35 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, and 3 blocks, leading Shandong to victory as the top contributor. Additionally, Gao Shiyang scored 23 points, 7 rebounds, and 10 assists, while Chen Peidong also scored 21 points and 3 assists. Jilunwate scored 12 points, 9 rebounds, and 3 assists, and Tao Hanlin contributed 12 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists. The inside game with Tao Hanlin and Jilunwate performed well, and the outside game saw the team make 17 three-pointers, raining down like artillery fire. Shandong Men's Basketball Team played a combination of inside and outside, with multiple points blooming, which is indeed a team victory.
It is worth mentioning that Gao Shiyang played outstandingly, shooting 6 out of 12 and making 9 out of 10 free throws, scoring 23 points, 7 rebounds, 10 assists, and 1 steal. As soon as the battle curtain opened, Gao Shiyang made a layup, firing the first shot for Shandong Men's Basketball Team. Then he broke through and launched fast attacks, even hitting a three-pointer with 23 seconds left in the quarter, playing with vigor and vitality. Gao Shiyang scored 10 points in the first quarter alone, especially in the fourth quarter when the two sides were locked in a tight contest. Gao Shiyang stood out, first with a three-pointer, and then began to charge for the team. With 1 minute and 13 seconds remaining, Gao Shiyang stepped up to the free-throw line four times, making all eight shots, scoring 11 points in the fourth quarter, clearly demonstrating that he was the savior for Shandong Men's Basketball Team in this game.
In summary, why did Shandong Men's Basketball Team play so well, and why did Gao Shiyang fight so hard? Gao Shiyang explained the reason: it's because the team's performance hasn't been good, standing at the edge of the playoffs and the brink of a cliff. At this moment, there is only one way out: to fight to the end with one's back against the wall. This is what Gao Shiyang truly feels, and it is also the reality. We hope that Shandong Men's Basketball Team can achieve and realize their goals through their efforts.
