In the three games of the second stage, the Shanxi men's basketball team defeated the Fujian men's basketball team, the Guangdong men's basketball team and the Shenzhen men's basketball team respectively, the strength of the Fujian men's basketball team in these three teams is weaker, but the strength of the Guangdong men's basketball team and the Shenzhen men's basketball team is relatively strong, which shows how good the state of the second stage of the Shanxi men's basketball team is. In fact, at present, the Shanxi men's basketball team is the team with the longest consecutive wins in the league, they are currently five consecutive wins, and the record is 12 wins and 4 losses, ranking sixth in the standings.
It seems that just one offseason, the Shanxi men's basketball team has completed the transformation, the arrival of Yang Xuezeng, coupled with the arrival of Kai Feld and Jonathan Simmons, the Shanxi men's basketball team suddenly changed its appearance. Yang Xuezeng is good at adjusting offense, and the Shanxi men's basketball team has averaged 110.8 points per game this season, ranking second in the league; 46.3% shooting rate ranks eleventh in the league; and 38.5% three-point shooting rate ranks second in the league. He averaged 26.9 assists per game, ranking fourth in the league, but the Shanxi men's basketball team averaged only 12.9 turnovers per game, the lowest in the league. All kinds of data can already explain the problem, and the Shanxi men's basketball team has really undergone earth-shaking changes this season.
In fact, the Shanxi men's basketball team is indeed more balanced in terms of lineup configuration, with Ge Zhaobao, Yan Pengfei and Xing Zhiqiang on the inside, Simmons and Jia Hao in the front, and Feld, Yuan Shuai and others in the backcourt, so that the lineup can ensure the vitality of both ends of the attack and defense. However, today's protagonist is Zhang Ning, who often appears as a substitute, a player who was once considered unable to play in the CBA.
The 21-22 season is Zhang Ning's second season, averaging 12.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game is not too eye-catching, but compared to the rookie season's 7.6 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists has been greatly improved, and Zhang Ning's shooting rate this season is 52.4% and three-point shooting rate is 35.4%, which can be guaranteed in terms of efficiency. In Yang Xuezeng's system, Zhang Ning is the spoiler of the bench, and facts have proved that Zhang Ning can play this role very well.
If you use a word to describe Zhang Ning this season, the word "struggle" is the most suitable. Since entering the CBA, Zhang Ning has been saddled with huge doubts, and the rookie season has even been delegated for a while, but now Zhang Ning has gained a stable playing time, and is also a key figure in the Shanxi men's basketball bench. He has averaged 2.3 of his 4.6 rebounds this season, the twentieth in the league, which is not easy for a player who is only 1.91 meters tall. In the three games of the second stage, Zhang Ning averaged 3.7 rebounds per game, and Wang Zhelin, the top domestic insider, averaged 3.9 offensive rebounds per game this season, Han Dejun 3.5, Shen Zijie 3.3, Li Muhao and Fan Ziming were all 3.2, which actually highlighted Zhang Ning's struggle.
Nowadays, many NCAA players have chosen to take the road of Internet celebrity, and Zhang Ning actually has such potential, but Zhang Ning still unswervingly chooses the career path, even if he is questioned, Zhang Ning has not given up. Now Zhang Ning can get a stable playing time under Yang Xuezeng's system, which is actually the result of his hard work. Zhang Ning on the court will not give up any chance to fight and defend, and his fighting appearance is really beautiful!
