In the 19th round of the CBA regular season, Beijing lost to Liaoning 95-103, and currently has a record of 11 wins and 8 losses, ranking 9th in the league. It should be said that in the first half of this game, Beijing team once played with Liaoning team inextricably, and even led Liaoning by seven or eight points in the second quarter, but at the beginning of the second half, under the instigation of Guo Allen, Liaoning team completely mastered the situation on the field, and Beijing team was powerless to return to heaven.
Guo Allen scored 36 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals, and the offensive and defensive ends of the Beijing defender line were completely destroyed. On the surface, it was the Beijing team that could not limit Guo Allen, causing the team to lose. In fact, it was Guo Allen's instigation that the Liaoning team blossomed more, which made the Beijing team powerless.
In this game, Liaoning's foreign aid Fogg only had 9 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist, and Moland only had 4 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, but the Liaoning team had 11 players on the stage, 10 people scored, and veteran Li Xiaoxu scored 12 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 5 steals.
In contrast, the beijing team, starting guard Jeremy Lin shot only 6 of 16, 6 of 2 three-pointers, only 17 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, and another small foreign assistant Gibson, although he scored 18 points in less than 20 minutes, was obviously not good at instigating the team. The inner twin towers are an important reliance for beijing this season, but Fan Ziming and Li Muhao only have a total of 21 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists in this game.
In fact, the reason for the unsatisfactory results of the Beijing team this season is more due to the decline of the team's two former national players, Zhai Xiaochuan and Fang Shuo. In addition to the two foreign players Gibson and Jeremy Lin, the top 2 points for Beijing's current local players are Fan Ziming and Li Muhao, and Zhai Xiaochuan and Fang Shuo's average points per game are only the 3rd and 4th in the team.
Zhai Xiaochuan has only 10.6 points, 7.1 rebounds and 2.7 assists this season, compared with last season's 15.5 points, 9.3 rebounds and 3.8 assists, the shooting rate has dropped from 47.7% to 40.4%, and the free throw shooting rate is less than 60%.
Fang Shuo also fell from averaging 13.9 points, 2.8 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game last season to 10.2 points, 2.7 rebounds and 4.6 assists this season, and due to the impact of injuries, Fang Shuo's athleticism has indeed declined a lot. It is undeniable that in the previous few seasons, as national players who are often selected for the national team, Zhai Xiaochuan and Fang Shuo are in good shape, but from this season's point of view, these two have indeed declined seriously.
As a foreign coach, Yannis is far from cultivating new talents in the long run like local coaches such as Du Feng, Li Chunjiang, and Guo Shiqiang. Leading the team to produce results and taking money to work is the essence of foreign coaches. So we will see that the Beijing team is always Zhai Xiaochuan, Fang Shuo, Li Muhao, Fan Ziming, Raymond, Zhu Yanxi and other people playing in rotation, young people rarely have the opportunity to appear in the Beijing team, and even Li Tianrong of the Shanghai team and Wang Xu of the Tongxi team are sent out by Beijing himself.
This season, Zhai Xiaochuan, Fang Shuo and others have shown a downward trend, if the Beijing team is still a veteran and does not train new people, then as the age of these players is getting older, the competitiveness of the Beijing team can only decline year by year.
