After Li Chunjiang took over the Shanghai team, the team has made great progress this season, from missing the playoffs last season to now ranking second in the rankings, the Shanghai team has changed a lot.
But this team does not have a champion in the eyes of the author, there is no stable shooter on the outside line, there is only one Wang Zhelin on the inside line, Feng Lai can jump and jump, but the height is insufficient, the Shanghai team meets the strong team on the inside line and plays harder, they are beaten by the Shenzhen team with Salinger, Shen Zijie and Zhao Yiming's luxurious inner line group, and they have been killed twice, which shows that the inner line of the Shanghai team is not strong enough.
In addition, the team also has the problem of slow heat, to be precise, the game attitude lacks the correct persistence, the last two games are 19 points behind, and finally achieved a big reversal, which is not a happy thing, but highlights the team's problems. There are also shortcomings in the lineup configuration, and the biggest shortcoming is the small foreign aid Franklin, who seriously restricts the performance of the Shanghai team.
If the Shanghai team wants to win the championship, it must replace the former "triple-double king". At present, his role in the team is not large, but it has become a burden. In the last two counterattacks, Franklin was put aside by Li Chunjiang, only playing a few minutes in the first quarter, playing 9 minutes against Zhejiang, and playing 11 minutes against Qingdao last night, scoring only 2 and 5 points respectively.
These two games are because Franklin is in a passive, he as the starter did not lead the team, but let the team in a backward situation, every time to the second quarter Li Chunjiang abandoned him, let Feng Lai play, the two big reversals Li Chunjiang is relying on Feng Lai and Wang Zhelin's double tower to revive, to avoid defeat. Bad battles can't be fought, and when the playoffs are more intense, Franklin's standard is debatable.
Franklin's state is not a general decline, but a cliff-like decline, his current skill is only 50% of the peak, the average from 34 points per game to 16 points, the three-point shooting rate fell from the past 38% to 28%, his physical strength can not support the high-speed breakthrough, now the only means of scoring is to throw three points outside, and it is also more iron, the lack of crosshairs.
The only thing Franklin can count on now is a pass assist, but the local "Kidd" Yuan Tangwen can completely replace Xiaofu, and the two counterattack battles are Yuan Tangwen's main point guard, with a total of 22 assists. He played 35 minutes and 38 minutes in these two matches, which shows Li Chunjiang's trust in Yuan Tangwen.
The former "triple-double king" Franklin is not much stronger than the local players now, no physical fitness, no strength, no speed, no breakthrough, no basket, and even worse than a domestic defender, he has declined significantly in the late stage of Shanxi, but the Shanghai team missed and signed him. With fredette's arrival, Franklin has no place at all, and he may not be in Shanghai for a long time, leaving the team to enter the countdown.
