A few days ago, the Tianjin men's basketball team ushered in a duel with the Jilin men's basketball team, although in the last game Jilin killed the Shenzhen men's basketball team by making up the basket, but this time the face of Tianjin is not to be underestimated, the other side has Kenny Burton and Rochester, two strong foreign aides, and the two sides in the first meeting this season Tianjin also won 107-99 against Jilin, so this time to meet Tianjin again is actually not afraid of the sharp teeth of the "Northeast Tigers". Throughout the game, the two sides have actually been clinging to the score, and the maximum lead is only 6 points, but in the last minute, with Jones's killer three-pointer deflected, Tianjin still laughed 101-99 to the end.
Throughout the game, Tianjin was able to win, and the double outside absolutely played a very important role, the two of them scored 38 points together, of which Rochester scored 22 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists, burton scored 16 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, in fact, in terms of the functional attributes of both sides, Rochester is more like the commander of the backcourt, and Burton is more inclined to a pure scorer. And this game the two sides "swap roles", but also really killed Jilin a surprise.
Although Tianjin welcomed back old acquaintance Rochester this season, this Jun had briefly played for Tianjin in the 18-19 season, when he averaged 33.5 points, 4.7 rebounds and 9.1 assists per game. However, now that he has returned after 3 years, he is 36 years old, and he is indeed a little powerless. On the contrary, Burton, who was depressed in Shenzhen last season, became the core offensive arrow of this Tianjin team.
In fact, when Burton first joined Shenzhen in the 18-19 season, he could average 24.8 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game, but in the second season, he switched to Qingdao, as a spare tire foreign aid, he did not get a chance to play a game, and returned to Shenzhen last season, limited by four foreign aides, Burton in the case of a sharp compression of playing time, the average score per game also suffered a cliff-like decline, averaging only 11.8 points per game.
After joining Tianjin this season, Burton relied on Shen Zhuan's three-pointer to regain the trust of coach Zhang Degui, before this game with Jilin, Burton could average 22.7 points, 4.9 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game, although the three-point shooting rate fell to 31.5%, but his inexplicable throwing and from time to time showed the "nerve knife" attribute outside the three-point line, it was indeed invincible. In the last game against Shanxi, Burton scored 44 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists in 6 of 11 outside the three-point line, for a player like him who is "crazy", as long as he finds the feel, assists and rebounds are also grabbed, so really ignore him, Burton will definitely use practical actions to make opponents pay a painful price for their contempt. And this game, Burton is still feeling good, really began to take on the organizational responsibility that Rochester should have borne.
And Tianjin this season does not seem to be satisfied with double foreign aid, according to previous reports, they have signed the third foreign aid, and this mysterious figure was once the NBA famous gibbon John Henson, really let them gather three foreign aid, plus can have the advantage of double foreign at the same time (playoffs can not), Tianjin men's basketball team is definitely a dark horse team in the league that cannot be ignored.
