On December 28, Beijing time, the second stage of the CBA League continued.
After defeating Liaoning by a large score, Beijing Shougang once again defeated Jiangsu Tongxi and became a new championship favourite. Unlike last season, this season's Beijing Shougang has strengthened its strength in the position of defender.
Jeremy Lin and Gibson both have strong offensive and defensive strengths, and if the two avoid their respective shortcomings and give full play to their own strengths, Shougang will not lose to Guangdong Hongyuan and Liaoning at all.
After the start of the second stage of the CBA league, most teams improved very little. The Liaoning team and the Guangdong Hongyuan team also regressed.
The biggest reason for the stagnation of many teams is the lack of investment in the transfer market, which has also led to many teams and manpower being insufficient.
This year's league is different from the past, Jilin stadiums, there may be enough heating, but not every team, are equipped with enough manpower. In addition to defending the championship and runner-up, teams such as Beijing Control and Shandong Expressway have shown insufficient staying power. In the end, the reason is that the number of injuries in the team has increased, and there are too few players who can play. Therefore, the team with double foreign aid has a much greater advantage than the team with single foreign aid.
Shougang is different from most teams, and at the end of last season, the team introduced a lot of interior players in one go. Although the team's performance last season was like a disaster, none of these players left.
After Yannis arrived, the players quickly found their own rhythm. Teams rely on defense, but not on defense. Coupled with the fact that the number of people who can play is significantly higher than other teams, Beijing Shougang's performance has rebounded rapidly.
The presence of Qiu Tian, Fan Ziming and Li Muhao makes Beijing Shougang unnecessary to supplement internal players. All they need to do is strengthen the team's outside capabilities.
Gibson and Jeremy Lin are very good players. However, their shortcomings and advantages are equally prominent.
The former has excellent offensive ability and average defense. The latter is very good at organizing attacks and winning free throws, but his ability to end the game is very poor.
Yannis combined the strengths and weaknesses of the two, so that they both found a place in the team.
Unlike in the past, after returning from the new season, Jeremy Lin's personal desire to attack is much less than before.
Under Xie Libin's hands, Jeremy Lin became a pure breakthrough hand, but the effect was very poor. After transforming into an organizer and defensive player, Beijing Shougang has benefited from both offensive and defensive ends. After no longer pursuing individual offense, Jeremy Lin was more open and his teammates scored easier.
Gibson's situation is similar, and unlike in the past, he did not deliberately pursue the pass. But when the opportunity arises, the shooting guard is willing to share the ball with his teammates. In addition, in defense, Gibson worked harder than ever.
The change of the two backcourt players made the opponents very uncomfortable. Whether it is Liaoning or Nanjing Tongxi, they have put the focus of defense on Jeremy Lin, but Jamiri Lin is not the core of Shougang's attack. On the contrary, after attracting more defenses, Jeremy Lin's pass was more penetrating. Beijing Shougang's outside offensive ability is not worse than the black and white short three of Guangdong Hongyuan's team. In addition, Fang Shuo, Zhou Yixiang and others cooperated with Gibson's defense, which was no worse than the combination of Guo Allen and Zhao Jiwei. The number of broken balls in Shougang this season has increased significantly.
This season, Fan Ziming has improved a lot. Its rebounding and offensive efficiency are higher than ever. If Shougang always plays the right way, then they will be the biggest favourites for the new season champions.
