At present, it is in the off-season of the league, the Shandong men's basketball team has defeated the Guangsha men's basketball team and the Shanxi men's basketball team before the final battle of the second stage, the team is also very good to survive the crisis, especially the Shandong men's basketball team in the game against the Shanghai men's basketball team, the team lost the suspense of the game in the first quarter of the game, the team's head coach Xu Changsuo was also greatly questioned by the outside world, and the performance of the team's big foreign aid Giron Watt was not satisfactory to the management.
Shandong men's basketball team, as the top four teams last season, currently only ranked tenth in the league, and this season retained the main lineup framework of last season, and the introduction of frontal fighter Liu Guancen, while the highly anticipated Ding Yanyuhang smoothly returned, the strength of the team has been significantly improved, but the team under the coaching of the new coach Xu Changsuo, from the technical tactics to the overall process and the use of personnel have been greatly questioned by the outside world, and the overall play of the team's big foreign aid Gironwater has not achieved the overall expected effect. Therefore, the team also hopes to use the offseason after the end of the second phase to bring in reinforcements, and the goal of foreign assistance has emerged, that is, NBA player Ehrensen, playing for the Raptors' development league team Raptors 905.
As a player with the 18th pick in the first round of the NBA in 2016, Ehrensen is 208cm tall, plays as a center on the court, has an arm span of 2.19m, stands tall at 2.74m, and in the three seasons with the Pistons, in the 17-18 season, he averaged 8.7 minutes per game, he could get 4 points and 2.1 rebounds, but he did not have a good foothold in the NBA, playing for the Pistons, Knicks, Nets and Raptors, and the performance did not meet expectations. The arrival of Ehrensen will effectively improve the thickness and hardness of the internal line of the Shandong men's basketball team, which is also targeted according to the team's shortcomings.
Referring to the first two stages, Tao Hanlin as the main center of the team, the average playing time per game reached 37 minutes, as an interior player, many games reached more than 40 minutes, has been overloaded, and Ehrensen's arrival will form an effective rotation with Tao Hanlin, while the team coaching staff can also according to the opponent's situation, put up a double tower lineup on the court, increase the flexibility of tactical choices, and look forward to coming to the CBA after the time to have an excellent play.
