The dark horse of the second stage of the CBA predicted that this time there will not only be Shanghai and Guangzhou, but also Beijing Shougang team has successfully made the list, which is the most surprising. However, the Beijing Shougang team can also be on the list is also an inevitable result, because they have obviously reached a state of full blood. But what are the reasons for making the list for all three teams? Let's take a look at it with the basketball brother!
Shanghai's big moves continue one after another
First, let's take a look at the veteran Shanghai team in the CBA League. But as long as the Shanghai team is mentioned, everyone's first impression is that their big moves have not been interrupted since the end of last season. The reason is also very simple, they first won the championship coach Li Chunjiang, and then followed by the arrival of Wang Zhelin, Ren Junwei and Yuan Tangwen, three local athletes. Finally, it was Franklin and Vonle who returned to the team. As a result, the shanghai team's lineup for the current season has also been officially formed. However, judging from their performance in the first stage, it was obviously unexpected by everyone, and they actually ranked fifth in the league with a record of 10 wins and 3 losses.
Li Chunjiang has brought qualitative changes to Shanghai
This is indeed their best record in recent years, and careful fans should also find that in terms of the average number of points per game for the whole team, they are actually at the top of the league with an average of 112.38 points per game, and even the Liaoning team at the top of the list is not their opponent, because their average score per game is only 107.69 points per game. From here, we can see that Li Chunjiang has indeed brought qualitative changes to this team! However, the discerning person can see that this is not their peak. The reason is also very simple, whether it is their play or their tactical run-in, obviously there is more room for improvement.
Shanghai is facing another opportunity to strengthen
However, then the opportunity for them to reinforce came. Because after the end of the first stage of the game, the whole league ushered in a window of more than 40 days, which also provided a perfect opportunity for Shanghai to strengthen again. In these more than 40 days, in addition to Li Chunjiang's further strengthening of the tactical training of the main players and foreign aid, the youth army in the team will inevitably be the focus of Li Chunjiang's training. Although the main players of the Shanghai team are very powerful, Li Chunjiang's mind is very clear, and only the youth army in the team has risen successively, and the Shanghai team can completely turn around in the future. It can be seen that when the second stage officially comes, the Shanghai team will definitely be able to bring us greater surprises!
Guangzhou's progress is also not small
Secondly, let's take a look at the situation of the Guangzhou team. The situation of the Guangzhou team is believed that everyone is also very clear, in the first stage of the game, even if Guo Shiqiang was banned for five games, they still won four consecutive victories in the following matches. You know, the opponents after the Guangzhou team have two strong teams of Jilin and Shandong, but they have still become the stepping stones of the Guangzhou team. From here, it is not difficult for us to find that the famous fish belly team in the whole league has completely turned over, especially since Guo Shiqiang took over this team, their progress is in our eyes. They made it to the playoffs last season, and in the first stage, they made it to the top seven of the CBA.
Guo Shiqiang also brought qualitative changes to Guangzhou
Here, we have to admire Guo Shiqiang's coaching ability. I believe everyone also knows that guangzhou team almost does not have any big-name level players, in terms of the comprehensive strength of players, they are obviously in the middle and lower reaches of the league, but even so, Guo Shiqiang still brought them qualitative changes. Not only has their defense been better, but even their players have risen to a number of players. The most representative players are Chen Yingjun, Zhu Mingzhen and Li Yanzhe, the three players. As far as their performance in the first stage of the competition is concerned, their rise is very obvious, among them, Chen Yingjun and Zhu Mingzhen have joined hands to shoulder the outside line, and Li Yanzhe has shouldered the heavy responsibility of the inside line.
The last thing Guo Shiqiang is afraid of is the challenge
It seems that the changes that Guo Shiqiang has brought to this team are all-round. Because, after the continuous tempering of the first stage of the tournament, not only did their tactics execute more efficiently, but the players also created a lot of miracles with their own hard work in the field. In particular, they actually reached the top seven of the CBA League with a record of 10 wins and 3 losses, which is really amazing! However, their test also followed, that is, the second and third stages of the game. Because the outside of other teams will return to the team one after another, which will also make them face a new test. But the last thing Guo Shiqiang is afraid of is the challenge, only in this way can they make greater progress!
Beijing Shougang's schedule was not smooth
Finally, let's take a look at the situation of the Beijing Shougang team. Although they finished 9th in the CBA League with a record of 8 wins and 5 losses in the first stage. But anyone with a discerning eye can see that their schedule in the first stage was not very smooth. The reason is also very simple, they not only encountered the strong teams of Guangdong, Zhejiang, Shenzhen and Shanghai, but also played two rounds of encounters with the three strong teams of Guangdong, Zhejiang and Shanghai. Even if the local strength of the Shanghai team is slight, the addition of Franklin is the biggest change. Coupled with the fact that Fang Shuo has also taken seven games off, they can achieve the current record, which is a miracle in itself.
The honeymoon period of Beijing Shougang is coming
However, when the game moves forward to the second stage, their honeymoon period is obviously coming, and in terms of their schedule, in these 15 rounds, Liaoning is their number one rival. As for the other teams, they are clearly not their opponents yet. Moreover, not only the two small foreign aides, Jeremy Lin and Gibson, have found their best state, but even Fang Shuo will return with full blood. As a result, the comprehensive strength of their outer line can also make another breakthrough. But the players who can improve in the window are not only these three people. In addition to their main players, young players such as Fan Ziming, Luan Licheng, Bai Tian and Yang Ali will also make significant progress.
The Youth Army has become a key breakthrough point for Beijing Shougang
The reason is also very simple, after the continuous tempering of the first stage of the event, although they have created several miracles, Yannis is very clear that the gap between them and the three strong teams of Guangdong, Zhejiang and Liaoning is still very obvious. In particular, the gap between their bench seats has become more obvious. If the Beijing Shougang team wants to complete the feat of winning the championship, relying on two small foreign aides and main players to go to the front hard top? They are not very likely to succeed. At that time, they will also need their youth army to rise completely and help the team turn the tide at a critical moment, and Yannis has already done so. Here we have reason to believe that they will achieve even better results!
Beijing Shougang has become the biggest dark horse
The above is the three dark horse teams in the second stage, the selection of Shanghai and Guangzhou is the inevitable result, but the selection of Beijing Shougang team is indeed a bit unexpected, but this is also the result of their efforts. Because, as far as the current situation is concerned, they are likely to be the team with the largest counterattack! What do you think about that?
