On December 27, Beijing time, the 15th round of the CBA regular season, Beijing Shougang team defeated Tongxi team 119-78 by 41 points. Beijing's 12-man roster, all players got the opportunity to play, and all scored, the whole team 5 people scored in double figures, Gibson got the team's high 24 points, and Jeremy Lin contributed 11 points, 7 assists and 3 steals.
After two games, it can be seen that the Beijing Shougang team has made a qualitative leap, from the original partial team with only strong defense and a small number of players, to a strong team with a still defensive system, smooth attack, and real attack and defense. The reason for the increase in the strength of the team is that Jeremy Lin and Gibson have returned to the team, especially Jeremy Lin has completely revitalized the attack of the Beijing team.
Gibson did not play very well in Beijing last season, and only found a feeling at the end of the season, and also did not adapt to the team are Fan Ziming and Li Muhao. It can be said that last season's Beijing team was in accordance with Yannis's coaching style and Jeremy Lin's playing style, but after signing Li Muhao and Fan Ziming, not only did Jeremy Lin break the contract, Yannis was also ordered to take over the Beijing team in the second half of the season.
This season, under the carving of Yannis, Fan Ziming is no longer the ignorant teenager, Li Muhao is no longer muddy, and the inner twin towers finally have what they should look like, becoming the cornerstone of Beijing's defense. With the defense, the beijing team's offensive rhythm is slow, the tactics of the position war are not flexible and changeable, in the first 13 rounds of matches, the Beijing team scored only 3 games with more than 100 points, most of the games scored around the eighty, and the weak defender is the main reason.
After the return of the two small foreign aides, the situation immediately became different, and the starting lineup of Jeremy Lin and Liu Xiaoyu was able to mobilize the attack of the inner twin towers to a greater extent, and the high and low blocking and dismantling cooperation played more and more smoothly. Jeremy Lin's own scoring ability does not need to be particularly prominent, mobilizing the team and assisting other players to score will make the Beijing team stronger.
Gibson had only one task left after he came on, that is, when Jeremy Lin was resting, he let go of the shot and scored as much as he wanted, which was his favorite way of playing. Last season's discomfort is always struggling with whether to score or assist teammates, and now there is no such trouble, his role in the Beijing team is to score.
After the Beijing team's offensive problems were solved, it really became a strong team with the strength to compete for the championship, both inside and outside, attacking and defending well, Zhai Xiaochuan on the front line still maintained a good state, playing tongxi team did not relax at all, the big score lead still remained focused, this team is different.
