On January 7, Beijing time, the 19th round of the CBA regular season continued, and in the end of the game, the North Control team defeated the Sichuan team and stabilized the ranking. Liao Sanning, a rookie who has been in the doldrums for many games, broke out, scoring 22 points, and 3 steals and 2 blocks, playing an outstanding performance at both ends of the attack and defense. At the post-match press conference, Marbury did not hesitate to praise Liao Sanning for controlling the rhythm of the game and completing the task entrusted to him by the team.
After the return of Lanzberg, a small foreign aid of the North Control team, Liao Sanning's playing time and number of shots were greatly affected, and he only scored 4 points in 3 consecutive games, which was far from the level of 13.4 points per game in his season. In fact, there are many phenomena of rookies being squeezed out of time by foreign aid, Yu Jiahao of the Zhejiang team and Li Yiyang of the Fujian team are too strong because the foreign aid is too strong, losing the start, and even unable to get the normal rotation time.
Liao Sanning is still good, and he can still have about 20 minutes of playing time, but the number of shots is much less. Marbury took Zhang Fan and Liao Sanning as a fixed pair, and won the starting lineup with Haas to form a second team, but instead gave Landsberg a starter with Yu Changdong and Zou Yuchen. After only one game, Zhang Fan was injured in the match against Zhejiang, and Liao Sanning needed to support the second team alone.
Against the Sichuan team, Marbury did not change the lineup, Liao Sanning continued to substitute, Zhang Fan missed the game due to injury, and it was reported that Zhang Fan had left the Changchun Division and gone to Nanjing for treatment. Liao Sanning has become the most reliable No. 1 position in the team, facing a team with strong internal strength such as Sichuan, Zou Yuchen, Wang Shaojie, Haas and other internal players have attracted more defensive forces, Liao Sanning seized the cover opportunity of his teammates, broke through the inside line to score in a timely manner, and the outside line also made a decisive shot, which had a 22-point outbreak.
Liao Sanning played for 30 minutes, not a single mistake, it can be said that the performance is very good, for a rookie, Liao Sanning has a calm brain, accurate judgment of the situation on the field, there is an excellent overall view, these are marbury is very optimistic about Liao Sanning. Against the top defenders in the league, Liao Sanning will grow quickly from it, and after being named, respond quickly. Later, to improve his shooting ability a little, Liao Sanning will become the main point guard of the North Control Team, and it will be difficult for teammates to shake his starting position.
Even in this situation, Zhang Fan's return date is undecided, because of the arrival of Landsberg and the time that was squeezed out, Liao Sanning can not only get back, but also get more playing time. In the other few players who have the ability to compete for the best rookie, even the normal rotation is difficult, Liao Sanning has ushered in the opportunity to open the gap, whether he can grasp it, and lay the foundation for the best rookie of the season with a single blow, it depends on the second stage of the game.
