CBA dark horse - Shenzhen team
If you predict the top three teams in the standings before the start of the CBA League, I believe many people will say that it is Liaoning, Guangdong and Zhejiang, after all, these 3 teams performed too well last season and became the top team of the CBA. However, after the first stage of the CBA, Liaoning and Guangdong ranked first and second respectively, but Zhejiang was a bit behind, and currently only ranked sixth in the standings, which is somewhat unexpected.
Ranked third is the Shenzhen team, their first stage of the results of 11 wins and 2 losses, the record is the same as the Guangdong team, Shenzhen team can rise to the third place in the standings, I believe that many people did not expect it, in the first two seasons, Shenzhen team is struggling to get a ticket to the playoffs, but now ranked third in the CBA standings, becoming a big dark horse of the CBA, eye-catching, but also full of expectations for their next performance.
There are 3 factors to the soaring performance of the Shenzhen team
So, what made Shenzhen complete a metamorphosis this season and become a surprising team? There are three main factors in the analysis, one is that head coach Qiu Biao has more coaching experience, after a season of polishing, Qiu Biao has obviously grown, on the one hand, he can keep the team united; on the other hand, Qiu Biao's on-the-spot adaptability has become more outstanding, in the game, often able to adjust the team's tactics in time, so as to achieve the desired effect. Obviously, Qiu Biao grew up with the team.
Second, a number of players grow very fast, after several seasons of polishing, the young players of the Shenzhen team slowly shouldered the team beam, Shen Zijie became the team's first center, shouldered the heavy responsibility of the inside line; the front line young general He Xining is also very obvious progress, became the main force of the team's front line, shouldered the team's scoring responsibility; and the young players Bai Haotian, Wu Zihan and other people are also making rapid progress and becoming the key people of the team. It can be said that the Shenzhen team has achieved good results, which is inseparable from the rapid growth of young players.
Third, the team has a "bloody", in fact, the Shenzhen team in the past ten years, excellent young players have been emerging, but the team is always far from the top CBA team, the reason is that the team lacks a "bloodiness", in the key time can not hold. Judging from the performance of the Shenzhen team this season, they are obviously tougher, not afraid to play against the wind, and the players dare to stand up and dare to fight in times of difficulty, which is rare and valuable.
Signing Salinger, Shenzhen team has the strength to impact the championship
Yesterday, the Shenzhen team officially announced the signing of the big foreign player Salinger, who will represent Shenzhen in the second stage of the CBA. Tall at 2.06 m and weighing 122 kg, Salinger has played for several teams in the NBA, and last season, he played for South Korea's Anyang KGC team, leading the team to the championship and winning the Finals MVP Award. He is an interior player with a wealth of offensive skills and excellent defensive skills.
Of course, for the fans of the Shenzhen team, I believe that many people have a deep impression of Salinger, he has played in the Shenzhen team for 2 seasons, once cut 58 points and 18 rebounds in a single game of stunning data, in the CBA 2017-2018 season, Salinger can average 30.4 points and 16.8 rebounds per game, becoming the team's internal "monster", but in the CBA 2018-2019 season, Salinger left the Shenzhen team due to injury factors and went home to recuperate.
Now That Salinger's physical condition has been completely without problems, shenzhen team signed him to make up for the team's internal line, so that the overall strength of the team rose to a higher level, so that Shenzhen team has a strength comparable to Liaoning team, Guangdong team, it can be said that the next Shenzhen team will have the strength to impact the CBA championship.
