Whether it is the level of foreign aid or the strength of the team, the Shougang team is far more than the Tongxi team, so they have shown their dominance over the game from the beginning. In the opening stage, the Shougang team quickly opened the score, and they did not give the opponent any chance in the back time, and the game also lost the suspense of victory and defeat early. In the first three quarters, the Shougang team did not let the opponent score more than 20 points in each quarter, and the fourth quarter became the training time in advance. Head coach Yannis praised the whole team for approaching the game with the right mindset and way from the beginning of the game, laying the foundation for victory.
In the last round against Jilin team, Zhai Xiaochuan's state rebounded. In this match with the Tongxi team, Zhai Xiaochuan continued the previous good state, fully reflecting the role and value of the captain. He scored 19 points, a new personal high in the second phase of the season, with four rebounds, three assists and one steal, contributing consecutively.
Shougang locked in the victory early, and Jeremy Lin's role was equally important. Although he only made 7 shots in the game, he still scored 12 points. Under his organization, the team played exactly the desired effect, and the maximum lead reached 49 points, of which Jeremy Lin had a plus-minus of 41 points.
Injured defenders Liu Xiaoyu and Fang Shuo continue to truce this game, both of them are muscle strains, and they are recovering well at present, and are expected to return to the team in the near future.
In the first three quarters, the Shougang team has sent all 12 players. In this regard, Yannis introduced: "We hope to give the main players more rotation breaks as soon as possible after the direction of the game is determined. I also want to give other players the opportunity to show themselves, because this team needs everyone. ”
This Sunday, Shougang will once again play against Shanxi. Losing the first leg with a big score is obviously not the result of the game that Shougang soldiers want, and the second leg needs to be more fully formulated in the game strategy. Combined with the subsequent schedule, the opponents Tianjin and Sichuan, including the Fujian team that lost in the first stage, the Shougang team as long as the normal play, the win problem is not big. Therefore, if they can beat Shanxi this Sunday, Shougang will be expected to improve their ranking with a longer winning streak.
