In the fourteenth round of the CBA League, according to the schedule, Shandong Expressway away to jiangsu Kendia. If you look at the results of last season, Shandong as the top four teams in the playoffs last season, this should be a contest between two teams with clear strengths and weaknesses, but from the results of the first stage of the league, the Shandong Expressway after the change of coach only ranked eleventh in the league with 6 wins and 7 losses, while Jiangsu Kendia ranked fourteenth in the league with 3 wins and 10 losses, and the gap between the two teams is not large.
For Shandong Expressway, the good news of this game is the return of foreign aid Giron Water, and Jiangsu Kendia has not made foreign promotions this season in order to train domestic players, and they have also become the only all-Chinese team without foreign aid this season.
In this game, Shandong team still continued to enter the state of slow problems, the first quarter faced Kendia to dig a small pit for themselves, the single quarter lost 7 points 21-28, the second quarter did not improve much, only got 22 points in the single quarter, fortunately, Kendia scored momentum fell only 18 points, the third quarter Shandong High Speed finally found a little sense of play, the single quarter won the opponent 12 points 26-14, entered the fourth quarter with a 9-point lead, and once led the opponent by 15 points in the fourth quarter. But in the last moments of the game, Jiangsu Kendia played an 11-0 attack wave on the Shandong Expressway in two minutes, and in less than a minute of the game, the score was reversed in one fell swoop, and at the critical moment, Shandong team Ji lunwart and Gao Shiyan stood out, And Gyllenwater scored five consecutive points to stabilize the situation, and Gao Shiyan, although the game was affected by a cold, was not in good shape, and only got 1 point through the free throw within 25 minutes, but in the case of a sprained foot at the last moment of the game, With an unreasonable three-pointer to help the team take a 6-point lead, it can be said that one goal determines the victory or defeat. With 8 seconds left in the game, Jiangsu Kendia completely equalized the game, fixed the score at 93-87, and completely killed the game.
From this game, it can be seen that although Shandong Expressway has undergone more than a month of off-season adjustments, the team lineup is more neat, the coaching team is stronger, but the team as a whole has not changed much, the attack and defense are still completely without distinctive characteristics, although there is the return of foreign aid, but in the face of the all-China class weak brigade Suzhou Kendia did not show any advantages. From the start to the final rebound, to the thrilling win, although the ending was a good start, but the game process did not show enough dominance, which is completely different from last season's playoff four teams. The whole team's attack is still dominated by slow-paced positional warfare, and the situation of offensive constipation has not been improved in any way, and there is no smooth teamwork, and there are very few wonderful scenes. Only three members of the team scored in double figures, relying more on the personal ability of Tao Hanlin and foreign assistant Giron Water, and the team as a whole did not play. Gillenwater scored 29 points and 9 rebounds in his first game, the first contributor to the team's thrilling victory, while Tao Hanlin continued his captainial nature and got a large double-double with 23 points and 18 rebounds. Other than that, there are no highlights.
Judging from the overall performance of the team, it can be said that the rapid counterattack created by the runaway king for the team in the 20-21 season has disappeared. Now after the change of coach, not only has there been no progress, but there is obviously a return to the ancestral imagination, and the pace is slow to grind the position. The outside line desperately hit the iron. The whole old cow pulled the broken car. For Shandong Expressway, using the current lineup to exercise a rookie manager is indeed a bit of a tyrannical thing, the original good situation into the current situation, the team's offensive defense to the team run-in are basically in a state of three nothing, completely without their own characteristics. To borrow the words of the original Runaway King: the game was very painful. At the same time, Xu Changsuo as a rookie coach, the sense of existence in the CBA arena is too low, the referee can basically ignore his existence, which is completely incomparable with the original Runaway King standing in the command seat, for Shandong Expressway, it is not too late to change the manager, from the subjective and objective aspects of consideration or as soon as possible to help the palace Lu Ming is better.
