On January 15, the twenty-third round of the CBA regular season began, and in the game that ended the day, the North Control team met Jiangsu team. Previously, Jiangsu had just beaten Ningbo, ending a long ten-game losing streak and winning the fourth victory of the season. On the north control team, it lost to Shanghai and Zhejiang in succession, and its morale was somewhat low. And in the match against Shanghai, the old enemy Li Chunjiang and the head coach of the North Control team, Marbury, sprayed each other in the game and were suspended for two games. Therefore, in order to win the Jiangsu team steadily, the North Control team also quickly found a temporary manager, so that the team's Chinese coaching team leader Li Xiaoyong came to serve as the team's temporary head coach. In the end, the North Control team did not disappoint the team management, and defeated Jiangsu team with a score of 114-82, ending a two-game losing streak.
In terms of data, Todorovic, a big foreign aid of the North Control team, performed well in this campaign, sweeping away the previous decline in state, getting a team-high 22 points and 13 rebounds, Wang Shaojie and Liao Sanning also played an excellent performance in this game, both scoring 19 points. Lanzberg did not perform well in this game, scoring only 4 points, and another foreign player, Haas, did not play in this game. On the Side of the Jiangsu team, only four of them scored in double figures in this game, Huang Rongqi got a comprehensive statistic of 10 points and 14 rebounds, and Zhao Lizhou scored a team-high 16 points.
Li Xiaoyong was born in 1969, in the player period is an excellent point guard, known as the "94 golden generation of Chinese men's basketball first point guard", his style of play is stable and comprehensive, both to open the shot, but also to carry out the ball to break through, can be said to be proficient in everything, personal is also selected for the national team many times, selected into the Chinese basketball star team. In the 1999 season, he won the Best Assist Award and the Title of Assist King in the A League, and was also selected for the Best Team at that time. In 1996, the Chinese men's basketball team reached the quarterfinals of the Atlanta Olympic Games, and Li Xiaoyong was indispensable, not only playing all 8 games, but also playing time was also the highest in the whole team, averaging 7.1 points, 4.1 assists and 2.9 rebounds per game. In 2006, Li Xiaoyong chose to retire.
This season we can see many players from the Liaoning men's basketball team on the court as coaches, in addition to Yang Ming and Guo Shiqiang, there are Li Xiaoyong, Wu Qinglong, Zheng Yonggang and other people who are active in the coaching staff of various teams. You know, they are all the starters of Liaoning in the early days of the league. As the interim head coach of the North Control team in this game, Li Xiaoyong also seemed very calm, and did not show the slightest nervous look when the score was behind, after all, he was also a famous host who had seen big winds and waves. In the end, he also won the competition with his old friend Li Nan, which was also his first time as the head coach of the team, and it was also his first coaching victory, which can be said to have made a good start for his future career.
However, the head coach of the North Control team is still Marbury, and after being banned for two games, he will also return to the team to continue coaching. However, his coaching philosophy has also been criticized by fans and the media, and if the results of the North Control team in recent seasons have not reached the expected results, I believe Li Xiaoyong will become the first person to replace him. What Li Xiaoyong has to do now is to lead the team to win the Ningbo team steadily and not cause a cold goal.
