In the NBL regular season, the Bullets played against the Phoenix, staged the Chinese derby, Liu Chuanxing vs. Zhou Qi. In previous games, Zhou Qi broke out repeatedly, playing the NBL's top interior level, surrounded by flowers and applause. Liu Chuanxing played liao liao, and there was no sense of existence. This time the two sides met, Liu Chuanxing was originally considered to have only a foil. But Liu Chuanxing became a big winner, the bullet team beat the Phoenix team 100-84, and his personal performance also surpassed Zhou Qi.
Playing 11 minutes, Liu Chuanxing had 6 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block. Zhou Qi played 17 minutes and had 2 points and 5 rebounds. In the game, Liu Chuanxing also caused Zhou Qi to foul when making up the basket. Once reused, it can play a high level because Liu Chuanxing is powerful. At 2.22 meters tall, Liu Chuanxing is still very strong, quite lethal in the inner line, known as Little Yao Ming. In terms of defense and protection of rebounds, Liu Chuanxing is also a good player. Also withstood the test of actual combat, Liu Chuanxing has shined in the CBA in the past two seasons.
The 2019-20 season was Liu Chuanxing's first season of heavy use in the CBA, and he became famous in one fell swoop. Facing Zhou Qi, Liu Chuanxing played 20 points and 10 rebounds, which is no less than Zhou Qi. Playing against the championship team Guangdong men's basketball team, Liu Chuanxing scored 25 points and 15 rebounds. Being able to kill opponents in the penalty area, Liu Chuanxing can also act as a gate, and he is an important contributor to the team's playoffs.
In the following 2020-21 season, Liu Chuanxing's performance further improved, and also helped the team achieve better results. Entering the All-Star, Liu Chuanxing was also selected for the national team. Although he has only played 3 seasons in the CBA, Liu Chuanxing has become the best player in the Qingdao men's basketball team, and has also shown super potential, which should be used as a cornerstone by the Qingdao men's basketball team. However, Liu Chuanxing did not get the corresponding treatment, and the Qingdao men's basketball team did not give him a satisfactory contract extension. According to the CBA regulations, Liu Chuanxing could not join other teams. In desperation, Liu Chuanxing could only learn from Zhou Qi, a fellow countryman in Henan, and went to Australia to play.
Liu Chuanxing's move was considered to be forced to the palace, and it was not optimistic. Because the Qingdao men's basketball team has a backhand, Gao Shiao, who is 2.25 meters, was transferred to the first team, and li Yuanyu, who was the top salary inside line, was also dug up. They are believed to be able to perfectly replace Liu Chuanxing, and the strength of the Qingdao men's basketball team will not be damaged. Facts give the opposite answer, Li Yuanyu is limited in height and cannot act as a defensive gate like Liu Chuanxing. Gao Shi'ao was too thin and his defensive power was limited. Without Liu Chuanxing, the interior defense of the Qingdao men's basketball team nearly collapsed, and the performance also fell sharply.
But public opinion ignored Liu Chuanxing's departure and threw the pot to head coach Wu Qinglong, which is unreasonable. Because in the face of the situation that the internal defense is not strong, for Wu Qinglong, it is undoubtedly a rice cooker and there is no solution.
The mistakes of the management have led to the plight of the Qingdao men's basketball team, and to make matters worse, it may continue for a long time. This is because with Liu Chuanxing's excellent performance in this game, he is expected to be reused in the next game and have the opportunity to gradually play famous. Once this is the case, Liu Chuanxing has played overseas for a long time, which has become a high probability event.
