The second phase of the CBA regular season will resume on December 25, with a total of 15 rounds of games. With 9 days to go until the start of the game again, let's summarize and look forward to the 20 teams in the CBA. The twelfth stage is the Beijing team.
Personnel changes (as of press time)
The second phase of the Beijing team has been registered for Jeremy Lin. After more than a season, Jeremy Lin will once again represent Beijing in the CBA. At the same time, another foreign aid of the Beijing team, Gibson, is also close to returning to the team, and it is reported that he is expected to return to the game after the start of the second phase of the CBA regular season, and the Beijing team will also have double foreign aid in the second stage.
Summary of the first phase
Beijing ranked 9th in the league with 8 wins and 5 losses in the first stage. This ranking is not high, and the record is not good, but it is already very rare for the Beijing team in the first stage.
In the first stage, the Beijing team used the all-Chinese squad, the main defender Fang Shuo only played 6 games due to surgical rehabilitation, the state is not the best, and the team captain Zhai Xiaochuan has not yet recovered to the best state after returning from injury, which further affects the state of the Beijing team.
Fortunately, the performance of the team's main center Fan Ziming is not bad, and the veteran Liu Xiaoyu has played a remarkable role, which has allowed beijing to play some good games. For example, they defeated Guangdong by 24 points in the first Beijing-Guangdong battle of the season, and only let Guangdong team score 67 points, in this game, Guangdong coach Du Feng sent Yi Jianlian, Zhao Rui, Zhou Peng, Hu Mingxuan and other main players, but it was still difficult to stop the fiasco. At the same time, they also had a big victory over the Zhejiang team.
Beijing's defense is still outstanding, they only conceded 85.6 points per game is still the league's fewest, but they can only average 90.1 points per game and rank fifth from the bottom, and the offense is still the biggest shortcoming of Beijing.
Phase II Outlook
After the return of Jeremy Lin and Gibson, the firepower of the Beijing team is expected to be greatly replenished. In addition, in the tandem attack, the Beijing team will also have more choices.
Jeremy Lin hit the NBA again last season, and for that, he prepared for a long time and played in the G League. Although he did not join the Warriors again, Jeremy Lin's offense was sharper than in the past, the three-point shot was more accurate, and the tandem offense was more outstanding. If Jeremy Lin can continue his status in the G League last season in the second stage, he will also bring more help and recognition to the Beijing team.
Jeremy Lin and the Beijing team are very familiar, only Fan Ziming, Li Muhao and Raymond and others in the whole team have not joined forces with him, but given that Yannis's system remains unchanged, Jeremy Lin can still easily integrate into the Beijing team. And his and Gibson's two completely different styles of foreign aid can also allow Beijing to make better trade-offs when facing different opponents and encountering different situations.
The foundation of the Beijing team is good, last season's quarter-finals, they almost pulled the Guangdong team off the horse, and finally only lost 1 point, and the Beijing team at that time was still missing Zhai Xiaochuan. Now, if they can integrate well, they have the opportunity to attack and compete for the championship again like Guangdong and Liaoning.
On December 25, Beijing's first opponent in the second stage is Liaoning, which is a test for Beijing, and the match between Jeremy Lin and Guo Allen will also attract much attention.
