On January 5, Beijing time, the Shandong men's basketball team ushered in the second game of the New Year, and in the 18th round of the CBA regular season, the team encountered the challenge of the league's upstart Shanghai team. Finally, after four quarters of competition, the Shandong men's basketball team won a big victory 117-100 and completed a self-redemption.
The victory of this game is also the first new year's first victory won by the Shandong men's basketball team after 2022, after the last big score defeat to Zhejiang team, the Shandong men's basketball team reversed the decline of the team with this game, it can be said that shandong basketball has a lot of room for improvement with this game. Then in the face of the Shanghai team where big names have gathered this season, the Shandong men's basketball team can be said to play very reasonably. During the game, we can see that the Shandong team has done a very good job in terms of both the tactical layout of the whole field and the key people defense of the Shanghai team. Including the use of the team's two foreign aides Hudson and Gillenwater, it is very reasonable, maintaining the core physical fitness of the two foreign players, allowing them to maximize their personal strength. Therefore, a reasonable layout is the basis for the team to win this hard battle. Compared with the Shanghai team in this game, the Shandong team won the game with better team strength and cohesion. This point has indeed impressed many Shandong fans, and yesterday's game has made everyone regain hope for the new season of the Shandong men's basketball team.
After the team's tactics have risen significantly, and after the team's cohesion and desire to win have been improved, many Shandong fans have said that we were not wrong to blame Xu Changsuo before. Because before everyone knows, as the new head coach of the Shandong men's basketball team, Xu Changsuo took over Gong Xiaobin this season, becoming the head coach of the Shandong men's basketball team, the personal coaching ability has been greatly criticized by the fans, in the previous Shandong team game, Xu Changsuo did not lead the team to play competitive, the tactics on the field are relatively single, that is, the main core, Tao Hanlin and Hudson as the main players, this point is clearly touched by the opponents in the league, and Xu Changsuo was therefore shouted down by the Shandong fans. However, judging from the performance on the field yesterday, the tactical ability of the Shandong team is obviously completely different from before, except for more mistakes, the shandong team's playing temperament can be said to have no problems. So is it really that we misunderstood Xu Changsuo before?
This is not the case, we say that even if a head coach can improve at the level of business, it is far from being able to reach that fast level. Like yesterday's Shandong men's basketball team several key arrangements and substitutions, with Jia Cheng to replace Li Jingyu these operations, in the past Xu Changsuo will definitely not be arranged. So the Shandong men's basketball team's win is a cause, and what is the reason for this? In fact, it is the reinforcement of the Shandong men's basketball coaching team, not long ago, Shandong fans also knew that the team was exposed to the news that two foreign coaches Leiden and Tommy joined the team, then after arriving at the team on New Year's Day, the two coaches also quickly integrated, reflecting personal value, and all Shandong teams have made so rapid progress. Therefore, the victory of the Shandong men's basketball team is the overall improvement of the coaching team, and it is not the credit of Xu Changsuo alone.
Talking about the joining of these two coaches, but also let the Shandong men's basketball team in the short term to really strengthen the shortcomings, from yesterday's game we can see that these two foreign coaches are indeed extremely tactical, crucial to the change of the team. After the Shandong men's basketball coaching team supplemented, the increase in team strength also made head coach Gong Luming the biggest winner, as the head coach of the team, the finalization of the two assistant coaches has an inseparable relationship with Gong Luming, and obviously has now proved that Gong Luming's decision is correct. Similarly, after Gong Luming took a wise step, the shandong team's game temperament and tactical quality have also come to a new level, I believe that soon after, the Shandong men's basketball team can still play a better cohesion and become a dark horse team in the league.
