Facing the powerful Shanxi men's basketball team, the Shandong men's basketball team, led by Xu Changsuo, narrowly defeated the opponent 116:112 and won two consecutive victories.
The biggest contributor to the victory of this game is undoubtedly the big foreign player Giron Water. In the whole game, only 26 minutes, he scored 45 points efficiently, 6 of 7 from three-pointers, showing a very high level, and almost every time he took the ball, he could create points for the team, and the efficiency was terrifying.
According to the previous thinking, the team mainly relied on Hudson and Tao Hanlin, but this game the two fell into a slump at the same time in the second half. Without the two cores inside and outside, coupled with the strong counterattack of the Shanxi men's basketball team in the second half, it is not surprising that the Shandong men's basketball team lost.
In the game, facing the joint defense of Ge Zhaobao and Simmons, Gironwott is still fearless, with layups, singles, and defensive ends. When the team is behind, it is still he who stands up and carries the team forward.
In fact, The role of Giron Water in the team has always been questioned by fans. The main reason is that his ability has never met everyone's requirements. The physical fitness is average, although the means of attack are relatively rich, but the stability is also insufficient. So in recent times, the team has had the idea of replacing him, but it has only had to be postponed because it has not found a suitable replacement.
Now that the second stage is over, Gillenwater saved himself with such a beautiful game. If the club wants to replace him, then it is hesitant. Although one game can't hide all the problems, at least for now, the key moments still have the strength to fight hard battles. During this interval, it is not easy to find a foreign aid that is so cost-effective. In other words, Giron Water should be safe for the time being.
In addition to saving Gyllenwater in this game, the other person is head coach Xu Changsuo.
The Shandong men's basketball team has always been a strong team in the CBA, with a tough style and a clear style of play, and is an opponent that other teams in the league are reluctant to touch. Last season, under the leadership of Gong Xiaobin, the team reached the final four with an untidy lineup, which made the outside world praise the Shandong men's basketball team.
Therefore, this season, there are higher expectations for the Shandong men's basketball team, whether it is the media or fans.
However, after Xu Changsuo took office, the Shandong men's basketball team seemed to have become a team. The desperate, tough team was gone, and the record was in decline. There are no top four, no top eight, and I can only go to the top ten to find it.
In addition, perhaps because of his first time as head coach, Xu Changsuo's on-the-spot command has been questioned. Fans always jokingly called "spectators who don't need to buy tickets" and watched the game silently throughout the whole process. There is no targeted tactical arrangement, can not mobilize the enthusiasm of the players, what is the significance of such a coach.
Xu Changsuo in the player era is undoubtedly the merit of the Shandong men's basketball team, which no one will question. But now that you're a manager, you need to be responsible for the team, and the players and coaches are very different roles.
In fact, before the match against Zhejiang Guangsha, the ranking of the 11th place of the Shandong men's basketball team was unstable, only 1 to 2 wins ahead of the 12th and 13th places, and the last two opponents were Guangsha and Shanxi, if the Shandong men's basketball team ended with a losing streak, then the ranking probability will fall out of the top 12, if the Shandong men's basketball team ended the second stage with 13 or 14, I believe that the fans are absolutely unacceptable, so that Xu Chang locks the class will become a foregone conclusion.
But luck is that good! Facing Zhejiang Guangsha, the opponent sent a large number of young players, Sun Minghui and Zhao Yanhao did not appear, and the Shandong men's basketball team picked up a big pie and directly won the game. In this game against the Shanxi men's basketball team, the two pillars of the team, Hudson and Tao Hanlin, are not in the state, but Gironwott suddenly emerged and saved the team.
After two consecutive wins, the Shandong men's basketball team stabilized in the 10th place. According to the current indications, Xu Changsuo's position is basically stable, and there should be no danger of leaving class during this interval. But the fans do not seem to buy it, commenting under the team's official media, still want Xu Changsuo to leave, the third stage of a new coach.
However, the league is not over yet, and there are still ten rounds of competition in the third stage. According to the latest news, the start date of the third phase is basically set between February 27 and March 1, which is a month away from today. This adjustment time is still very precious, the last ten rounds are the sprint period for the rankings, and the Shandong men's basketball team will definitely sprint to the top eight. In addition, when Ding Yanyuhang and Jiao Hailong are back, the Shandong men's basketball team will be more complete. If Xu Changsuo still can't play the results, then next season may not be retained.
