On December 17, Beijing time, Shandong Sports Television reporter Xia Xiaosi revealed on social media that Hudson and Troy Gironwater will meet with the team on the 19th and begin to practice together. On the 23rd, the team will go to Jilin to participate in the second stage of the CBA League.
Previously, the Shandong high-speed team had a mediocre performance, failed to enter the top eight of the league, and was on the edge of the playoffs. In this year, when Shandong Taishan may regain the Chinese Super League, the Shandong high-speed team cannot add to the blockage for fans.
Reaching the playoffs will be the team's number one goal, and they should also strive to be in the top eight.
The second phase of the CBA League has been announced, and the Shandong High-Speed team will go to Jilin, and their opponent in the first round of the game will be the Sichuan Jinqiang men's basketball team, which has a good relationship. Next, they will also face Qingdao Team, Zhejiang Chouzhou Bank, Shanghai Jiushi, Xinjiang, Guangsha, Guangzhou Dragon and Lion. Among them, there are many strong teams.
Haddadi has been back in the Sichuan team for a while, and the opponent's preparations have come to the front of the Shandong high-speed team. Therefore, in the rest of the time, the team must quickly adjust the status, determine the starting lineup of the next game, and step up the joint training and rush to the division.
In the first stage of the competition, the Shandong high-speed team lacked a poor record of major generals, and at present they have only won 6 wins and 7 losses, ranking 11th in the league. The winning percentage is less than 50%, which is still very rare in the history of Shandong basketball.
Xia Xiaosi previously revealed that Ding Yanyuhang and Jiao Hailong recovered well, and the first 4 rounds of the latter's second stage may be absent. Xiao Ding has always been injured, and in the first stage of the game, he fought with injuries in many matches. This not only affected his personal data, but also made the shandong team's performance go up.
Under such a premise, the Shandong men's basketball team needs more foreign aid to support the team.
Hudson is a veteran of the CBA league for many years and the most experienced player in the league. Lao Ha is quite familiar with Jilin and has led the Liaoning team to victory here many times in the past.
Gillenwater has been complained by fans for not being good enough before, after he played for the Shaanxi team in the NBL League for many years.
Rebounding and interior defense have always been the hallmarks of Shandong, but so far this season, they have averaged just 43.5 rebounds per game, ranking 11th among all teams, which is also the same as their current ranking. The team's three-point shooting rate is only 32.4%, ranking third from the bottom of all teams, only higher than Tianjin Forerunners and Jiangsu Kendia.
The lack of three points also causes the opponent's defense to shrink even more. Shandong's original rebounding advantage has also begun to decrease. Although Lao Ha's three-point shot is not the most accurate in the CBA League, he is currently the most lacking player in the Shandong high-speed team.
It is expected that Hudson will still be the main force of the team. Gironwater will be the backup center.
In the past, the Shandong high-speed men's basketball team had the strength to compete for the top four in the league. But this year, it's hard to get into the top four, or even the top five.
The team's current ranking is not ideal, which is related to the fact that they win less and lose more when they encounter teams of similar strength. At the same time that Ding Yanyu was playing a stop and stopping, the Shandong team needed a big heart player to lead them and play the fourth quarter well.
