As we all know, with the increase of age and years of injury, The veteran han Dejun of the Liaoning team can no longer rely on his personal ability to support the inner line of the entire Liaoning team. Therefore, although the player lineup is very strong, the internal line has become the biggest shortcoming of the Liaoning team in many seasons.
At last year's National Games, Liaoning was able to defeat Guangdong in the final to defend its title, one of the most important reasons was because the team's internal line had the "big devil" Zhou Qi.
As the best local interior player in China at present, Zhou Qi's role in the Liaoning team is too obvious, and he can not only rely on his rich offensive means to create a killing machine in the guangdong team's interior line. At the same time, Zhou Qi's excellent defense also greatly limited the Guangdong team's best use of the speed of outside players to impact the opponent's basket of the running bombing tactics.
Judging from the games of the National Games, the Liao basket with Zhou Qi and the Liao basket without Zhou Qi are completely two levels of teams, and this is also the fundamental reason why Liao Basket has been trying to recall Zhou Qi in the past few years.
However, due to the relationship between Zhou Qi and the Xinjiang men's basketball team, the "Big Devil" could only go to Australia and join the NBL League.
In order to strengthen the shortcomings of the team's internal line, Li Hongqing, general manager of Liaoning Basketball Club, decided to sign the former Shanxi men's basketball team's big foreign aid Moland in the second stage of the league. Although Moland's scoring ability is very average, his defensive ability is undoubtedly the top level in the current CBA league, which is quite similar to Zhou Qi.
After the restart of the second stage of the league, Liaoning basketball achieved a record of 5 wins and 1 loss. The two strong enemies of Lianke Guangdong and Shenzhen are enough to prove that the current state of Liaoning Basket has reached a new peak.
However, compared to Liao's league results, Morland's personal data is somewhat "shabby", and after 6 league rounds, he can only average 6.7 points and 6.8 rebounds per game.
It is also worth mentioning that the liaoning team's internal defensive data has also dropped from the first stage of the league ranking 7th to the 17th position. Could it be that The addition of Moland has instead reduced Liaoning's defensive ability on the inside? Liaoning basket chose the wrong foreign aid this time? The answer, of course, is no.
To see how well a team performs, you can't just start with the data, but also look at the specific game process. In the past 5 rounds of the league, the advantages of the Liaoning team on the field are very obvious, and basically the victory has been decided in less than 3 quarters of the game.
In such a situation, Yang Ming will basically send some substitute players and newcomers to play the rest of the game. The gap in strength between these substitute players and main players is still very large, so the internal defensive data of the Liaoning team will naturally drop a lot.
At present, this season's CBA league has been half played, and Liaoning still topped the league standings with a record of 17 wins and 2 losses. However, the competition in the league will become more and more intense. Because teams have begun to work in the league to achieve good playoff qualifying.
Strong teams such as Zhejiang, Guangsha, Shanghai and Guangdong have all recently introduced new foreign aid. For Liaoning Basket, a big foreign aid Moland may not be enough, if you can sign another inside tough player like Bass, Liaoning Basket will be more certain to regain the CBA championship this season!
