CBA 2021-22 season of the second stage of the start so far, the Shanghai men's basketball team has achieved a record of 5 wins and 1 loss, continuing the outstanding performance of the first stage, has now ranked fourth in the league with a record of 15 wins and 4 losses, it can now be said that the Shanghai men's basketball team has become a strong team in the league, it seems that spending a lot of money in the offseason is the right choice, at least let the team see the hope of re-competing for the championship!
The team was able to achieve such a good result in the second stage, and the addition of the big foreign player VonLe can be said to be very critical, he averaged only 21 minutes per game, he can hand over 13.8 points and 10.5 rebounds, and his personal performance is very stable.
In addition, as an interior player with a height of 2 meters 08 and an arm span of 2 meters 25, Von Lai can not only create damage on the inside line, but also open up the space to project on the outside line, playing these games, he can shoot 1.2 three-pointers with a 37% shooting rate, which means that Feng Lai can not only play alone, but also play with Wang Zhelin, and his outside projection ability can open up the space of the inside line for Wang Zhelin, so that the opponent does not dare to easily wrap the latter.
In addition to the offensive end, Vonle's role in the defensive end is also very large, although the height is only 2 meters 08, but the arm span has reached 2 meters 25, such a body is also an important reason why Vonle was selected in the 9th pick in the first round. The 2m 25 arm span is enough to ensure that he has built a good defensive barrier in the CBA's interior line, and has been able to deliver 3 steals so far this season, ranking second in the league.
In the first stage of the game, the Shanghai team was weak in the inner line of this link, especially after Wang Zhelin played, coupled with the obvious decline in Dong Hanlin's performance this season, making it a loss in the rotation of the inside line, and now with Feng Lai, it is a good solution to this big problem, as mentioned earlier, Feng Lai can play alone, but also can play with Wang Zhelin. Now it seems that signing Von Lai is a very competitive choice for the Shanghai men's basketball team, making him the most important champion of the team "puzzle", and now all the team has to do is to continue to maintain the current ranking and results, and wait until Fredette returns to officially launch an attack on the championship!
