The Xinjiang men's basketball team suffered a crushing defeat in Liaoning, with suspected reasons exposed, and ultimately could not avoid it. Netizens pointed out incisively that the strength of Xinjiang at home and away is different. In this game, Xinjiang was not resting but had injuries and suspensions; Zhao Rui was injured, and Qi Lin was suspended due to accumulated technical fouls. Liu Wei is still too inexperienced and doesn't know how to use this lineup. Look at the three foreign players, each performing worse than the last. This Xinjiang team also lacks a leader to lead them through tough times; Li Yanzhe's abilities are insufficient, and the level of the foreign players is limited. The overall state of the Xinjiang team players is not good, while Liaoning's Wells played above his usual level, and Liaoning's domestic players Wang Lanchen and Daheng performed well.
It's not that Wang Lanchen doesn't have the ability; you have to give him the opportunity to play. If he makes a mistake and isn't allowed back on the court, no one can perform. Wang Lanchen grabbed four offensive rebounds, which is indeed very proactive. His attacking ability is stronger than his defensive ability, and his shooting is stable. Ferg's salary should be shared with Wells. Since Ferg joined Liaoning, he has been playing leisurely basketball in the regular season, but Wells is very suitable for Liaoning now. Wells just arrived and achieved such results, which is already quite impressive. The main reason Xinjiang lost this game was due to many turnovers, poor frontcourt rebounding, and inadequate defense, although their offensive efficiency was still good. Regardless of whether Liaoning or Xinjiang wins or loses, we enjoyed a civilized, tense, and high-intensity game, which is what basketball should be like.
The speed and rhythm of both teams were too slow. Liaoning has more veterans, so they can't play too fast. These young Xinjiang players need to increase their running speed, especially shooters like Ili Fula and Xier Zati. They are young and need constant movement to create space for three-point shots. All three Xinjiang foreign players were collectively lost, while Liaoning brought in Wells, and Wang Lanchen also played confidently and well. Both teams were short-staffed and faced their own difficulties, but they still provided fans with an exciting game, with the entire Xinjiang team defeated by Liaoning's Wells.
Through this game, it seems that Xinjiang is not yet a strong team and must exert considerable effort to win the championship. In this game, the Xinjiang team did not have a defensive player who could control Wells, which is a fatal problem. As the head coach, Liu Wei lacks strategies to deal with key defensive situations. I estimate that the Xinjiang team will start to miss Huang Rongqi's defense. If he were here, he wouldn't allow Wells to score 50 points; he could keep up with Wells' breakthrough speed. The quality of Xinjiang's foreign players is not as good as Liaoning's two foreign players. Peterson has no personal breakthrough ability and poor defense. Once his three-pointer lacks shooting space, he's out of options.
Thank you all for your continued attention. On the journey of creation, I am grateful for your company, and I will continue to work hard!
