From individual ball-holding singles to current team basketball, this is the biggest change in the Shanghai team! I believe everyone remembers that last season, the biggest feature of the Shanghai team was to hold the ball and single, and this is the root of their fall out of the playoffs. However, since Li Chunjiang took charge of this strong team, they have been comprehensively transformed, and now the Shanghai team is already the main player of team basketball, which makes them have a further possibility. But where can Shanghai go in the current season? Let's take a look at it with the basketball brother!
Shanghai's performance was stunning
I believe that as long as the Shanghai team is mentioned, the first thing that everyone thinks of is two words, that is, "Amazing!" "When the first stage of the game was officially over, we suddenly found that their average score per game was at the top of the table with a high score of 112.38, and even the Liaoning team, which ranked first overall, was not their opponent. They are averaging just 94.54 points per game. It seems that Li Chunjiang's team basketball has indeed brought qualitative changes to this team. No, when the first stage of the tournament officially ended, they were ranked 5th in the CBA League with a record of 10 wins and 3 losses, a result that they could not have imagined in recent years.
Shanghai was clearly right to take Down Li Chunjiang
It seems that the Shanghai team's approach of signing Li Chunjiang is completely correct, whether it is his successive signing of Wang Zhelin, Ren Junwei, Franklin and Yuan Tangwen, or his two major purges of the Shanghai team, all in order to allow them to have a better development in the current season. Even if there is no hope of winning the championship this season, they still have to create enough trouble for these championship teams. Moreover, judging from their performance in the first stage, they have undoubtedly made great progress, especially the youth army in the team, and several people have risen successively, and the most prominent performance is the young general Guo Haowen, whose progress has brought everyone more than just surprises!
Franklin has made significant changes
The thickness of the Shanghai team bench has also become deeper, although in terms of organization and tandem, Franklin provoked the girder, but if only rely on foreign aid, then, they will not go too far in the future! Here the basketball brother admits that Franklin, a small foreign player, has sacrificed a lot in order to fully integrate into the team basketball system of the Shanghai team, especially his ball rights. More often than not, he has taken on the heavy responsibility of organizing and tandem teams. This also makes his once "four-double" toughster decline sharply in terms of offensive efficiency. However, he topped the league with a plus-minus of 18.2, which is his biggest change.
Franklin focused on organizing and tandem offense
However, the main reason why his plus-minus has reached such a high level is that he has stopped focusing on offense and has put more energy into how to organize and connect the entire team's offense more efficiently, which we can clearly see from his average of 11.3 assists per game. It can be seen how big a change Franklin, a small foreign aid, has made in order to be able to integrate into this big group. Because he also wants to get a higher salary, he also wants to get a championship ring. However, when Li Chunjiang took charge of this strong team, all this seemed to become more accessible!
Wang Zhelin's change is no less than Franklin's
The arrival of Wang Zhelin has alleviated the shortcomings of the Shanghai team's internal line from the root, even if his offensive attributes are stronger than his defensive attributes. But the changes he has made for this team are no smaller than Franklin's, and Wang Zhelin has more time to think about how to create more opportunities for outside teams by blocking and dismantling, how to grab more rebounds under the basket and finish eating cake. And in terms of the fight for the ball, Wang Zhelin showed a different side, just after he fell to the ground many times, he also grabbed the floor ball with his opponent many times. You know, this has been very rare in previous seasons, which is enough to prove that Wang Zhelin has also changed a lot!
The core of Shanghai is team basketball
Here, I believe that fans must remember that Wang Zhelin made it clear after joining the Shanghai team that the current season is mainly based on "happy basketball"! From his speech at that time, it can be seen that he is obviously full of confidence in the future of the Shanghai team, not only because of his successive joining with Franklin, Ren Junwei and Yuan Tangwen, but also because of Li Chunjiang's comprehensive transformation of the Shanghai team. Now they are obviously team basketball-oriented, which we can clearly see through their performance in the first stage. Moreover, every player in the team is dedicated, and they are willing to give everything they want in order for the team to achieve better results!
Ren Junwei has also changed a lot
Even the big forward Ren Junwei, he has changed a lot for this team. Although he and Franklin are both firmly in the starting position, he has clearly abandoned the tactical play of previous seasons and instead played in the way that the Shanghai team needs most. Moreover, he can not only lurk in the bottom corner waiting for three-point and cutting opportunities, he can also do a block for the ball carrier or directly punish the opponent with the three-point shot. You know, such a Ren Junwei is what the Shanghai team needs most. Although he sacrificed a lot of ball rights for the team, his plus-minus was still as high as 14.9, and he managed to rank fourth in the league! However, Ren Junwei's "house"! Obviously let the Shanghai team "get" more!
Shanghai's youth army has risen one after another
Not only has the team basketball system of the Shanghai team been completely formed, but even the youth army in their team has a greater rising trend, as mentioned above, the rise of Guo Haowen and Li Tianrong is very obvious. Even in the first stage of the game, Guo Haowen also contributed to the Shanghai team's record of averaging 17.9 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game, and his performance was obviously very close to Sun Minghui. Even if his fouls and mistakes remain high, this is the price he must pay on his growth path. This is still acceptable to Li Chunjiang, because only when they rise can they close the gap between the Shanghai team and other championship teams.
Li Chunjiang wants to help Shanghai establish a champion dynasty
You know, Li Chunjiang's ultimate goal is likely to be to help the Shanghai team establish their own championship dynasty! Since he did not achieve this goal in the Guangsha team that year, the Shanghai team became his last chance. Although the Shanghai team has not been very smooth in terms of signing a big foreign aid. However, their local players have improved very rapidly, especially their outside line, and with the rise of Guo Haowen and Li Tianrong, it has further made up for their shortcomings in the outside line. Even if Feng Lai has not yet reached Li Chunjiang's goal, whether it is to replace the new big foreign aid, or to let him completely adapt to the tactical playing style of the Shanghai team, this problem must be alleviated from the root!
Shanghai will hit the top seven of the CBA
Moreover, Li Chunjiang's goal in the current season is not just to play the playoffs! Judging from the performance of the Shanghai team in the first stage, their goal is likely to be to reach the top seven of the CBA League. Because their performance in the first stage is still not their peak! Not to mention, this time they also experienced a window of more than 40 days. As a result, it also gives them further confidence! What do you think about that?
