The big score beat the Beijing men's basketball team, and the Tianjin men's basketball team won 3 consecutive wins. In these 3 games, the Tianjin men's basketball team is an upset win, and the Shanxi men's basketball team, jilin men's basketball team and Beijing men's basketball team are above their own side regardless of strength or ranking. The record of the Tianjin men's basketball team has quietly risen to 9 wins and 15 losses, only one game less than the 12th ranked Jilin men's basketball team. Entering the ranks of playoff contenders, the performance of the Tianjin men's basketball team and the judgment of the two teams at the beginning of the season are impressive.
There can be such a big change, the Tianjin men's basketball team found the right foreign aid is the primary reason. In the game against the Beijing men's basketball team, Rochester scored 39 points, like a sharp blade dismantling the opposing defensive system. In the 32-minute playing time, Rochester scored 22 points. Burton, another foreign assistant of the Tianjin men's basketball team, is also outstanding, and when he played against the Shanxi men's basketball team, he scored 44 points alone, becoming the number one contributor to the win. Two foreign aides can pick the beams, and they can also drive local players, which means that the Tianjin men's basketball team can maintain efficiency and stability on the offensive end.
At the same time, the defensive level of the Tianjin men's basketball team has also risen sharply, which is mainly brought by Zhang Zhaoxu. The Beijing men's basketball team has two outstanding local big men, Fan Ziming and Li Muhao, but against the Tianjin men's basketball team, both of them have a lot of limited performance, because they met Zhang Zhaoxu. When facing Zhang Zhaoxu, Fan Ziming Li Muhao was difficult to get a good shot, and the small men of the Beijing men's basketball team could not easily break into the forbidden area of the Tianjin men's basketball team. The defense is good, this is because Zhang Zhaoxu has a height of 2.21 meters and a huge defensive area. It is also because Zhang Zhaoxu has excellent defensive skills and is very experienced, always appearing in the right position and making the right defensive choices.
Sending 3 blocks in a single game, this does not reflect the full defensive power of Zhang Zhaoxu, and his winning and losing value is as high as +21. In the last game against the Jilin men's basketball team, Zhang Zhaoxu's plus-minus was +18, which was also the highest in the team. Playing the Shanxi men's basketball team, Zhang Zhaoxu's plus-minus value is +17, which is also the highest in the whole team. The plus-minus of 3 games is as high as 56, and Zhang Zhaoxu's data is put to the top of the entire CBA. Such Zhang Zhaoxu also shattered all doubts and regained the title of Divine Tower.
Pulling back the time back to before the start of the season, the Tianjin men's basketball team was extremely despised when he signed Zhang Zhaoxu with the top salary. Zhang Zhaoxu began his CBA career in the Shanghai men's basketball team and played until the end of last season. However, Zhang Zhaoxu did not get a satisfactory contract extension contract from the Shanghai men's basketball team, which shows that the old owner is no longer optimistic about him. In addition, in the past few seasons, Zhang Zhaoxu has been plagued by injuries, missed many games, and has been further looked down upon. The choice of the Tianjin men's basketball team to hand over the top salary contract was criticized as very stupid. After signing the contract, Zhang Zhaoxu said a very encouraging sentence " I hope that I can stay healthy and play the whole season", which makes people more worried about his future.
To make matters worse, there were injuries at the beginning of the season, and the doubts were even louder. At the beginning of his comeback, Zhang Zhaoxu was also unable to find a state of return, which became synonymous with high salary and low energy. The signing of the Tianjin men's basketball team has also become a joke and has been criticized by countless people.
In the midst of the predicament, Zhang Zhaoxu did not defend himself, let alone give up, but just worked silently. All the efforts will not be in vain, Zhang Zhaoxu's efforts have also been rewarded, and he has gradually found his state in the second stage. Although it is not the peak level, Zhang Zhaoxu is still the top defensive gate of the CBA, which can help the Tianjin men's basketball team protect the basket. Exactly, the tianjin men's basketball team is most lacking in the interior defense, And Zhang Zhaoxu made up for the biggest shortcoming of the team.
Looking back, the Tianjin men's basketball team signed Zhang Zhaoxu at the beginning of the contract was a big gamble, but it was also worth the gamble. Zhang Zhaoxu is older and has a history of injuries, and is most likely to become a sick number. But the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, as long as Zhang Zhaoxu can stay healthy, he can become the inner guardian of the Tianjin men's basketball team. In addition, the Tianjin men's basketball team is a well-known fish belly team, which is not attractive to the big man in the year of playing, and it is also a helpless move to bet on a former national player like Zhang Zhaoxu. Fortunately, Zhang Zhaoxu played the maximum salary level, and the Tianjin men's basketball team bet correctly.
