This season, the two teams in Beijing, Shougang and Beijing, are also the only two teams in the entire CBA with four foreign aides, but unlike The two major and two small foreign aides in Beijing, Shougang has hoarded 3 small foreign aides in one fell swoop, in addition to Jeremy Lin, Gibson, and a strange face of Barry Brown, although he has not had experience playing in the CBA before, but in college, Brown is indeed an all-round defender with both attack and defense, and during the later period of playing in the German league, Brown also played a good performance.
In Shougang's most recent game with Tianjin, Brown replaced the injured Gibson, entered the team's 12-man roster, replaced Jeremy Lin in the first quarter, Brown scored 9 points on 4-of-5 shooting in only 3 minutes of playing time, and in the whole game, Brown scored 12 of 17 from 17 minutes, 3 of 4 from three-point range, 29 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, and the plus-minus value came to the second highest +10 on the bench. The performance of both attack and defense also makes Shougang fans call out the true fragrance.
The debut of the new face of Shougang is indeed to let people see the shadow of many teams' former meritorious little foreign aid Marbury, the two are very similar in shooting posture, the right hand shooter has some valgus, and the left hand guard player's ball protection posture is also the same. In addition, in terms of breakthroughs, the first step of the two people started very quickly, both are the kind of shoulder-deep "explosive package" breakthrough, if this unintentional willow can really "willow shade", Shougang is indeed expected to rekindle the hope of winning the championship. Brown, who is only 25 years old at the moment, has just started his career and has a great advantage in terms of age, and in terms of his debut performance, there is also a great threat at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends. And 1 meter 96, he not only has a height advantage in the defender position, but even to play against some of the No. 3 forward players, he does not suffer losses.
At present, Shougang has Raymond, Zhai Xiaochuan, Zhu Yanxi, Wang Xiaohui and other people in the forward position, and the inner line also has Li Muhao, Fan Ziming, Qiu Tian, which are several tall towers, plus the old acquaintance Hamilton will also return, so in the inner line and front position, Shougang does not need to worry too much, as long as the defender position can continue to attack the firepower, their strength will be greatly improved. In recent years, Shougang under the tutelage of Yannis can be said to be the top team in the league's defense, and this season their defensive efficiency ranks third in the league with 102.8, but the average score per game of 98 is only the 13th in the league, so it is not difficult to understand that this time they are crazy to strengthen the backcourt.
Compared with Jeremy Lin and Gibson, who have their own disadvantages (Jeremy Lin's lack of ability to tackle tough problems, Gibson's defense is a loophole), Brown is a combination of the advantages of the two, if he can continue to play like his first game against Tianjin, Shougang is not without a chance to go further in the playoffs. To know that the first two years of Shougang in the playoffs to make the defending champion Guangdong scared out of a cold sweat, last season if it were not for Weems's throwing kill, Shougang may really want to block Guangdong outside the top 4 door.
Since Marbury, Shougang has never had such a strong small outside of attack and defense as Brown, this should have gone to the Xinjiang men's basketball team (there was a scandal with Xinjiang before, but because of the control regulations in Xinjiang, it was finally no chance to join), but it came to Shougang by mistake, this time "picking up the leak" If they can really achieve Shougang to win the championship again, then they may really have to thank the Xinjiang men's basketball team who knows the gold!
