15 wins and 13 losses, this is the league result achieved by the Shandong men's basketball team after the end of the second stage of the CBA. Clearly, the team's sluggish performance in the league fell far short of the club's expectations.
In this regard, The new coach of Shandong team Xu Changsuo also said recently that the team needs to summarize the performance of the second stage of the league and make full preparations for the third stage of the league.
At present, Shandong is 10th in the league table, which is obviously not directly proportional to the club's investment in this season. Coach Xu Changsuo's coaching ability has been questioned by many Shandong fans, but from the current situation, the high-speed group has no intention of changing the coach.
In the third stage of the next league, they will continue to use Xu Changsuo as the front desk manager, and Gong Luming is behind the team coaching team model. Although the team's coaching staff has not changed, this does not mean that the players of the Shandong first team will not make adjustments.
According to a shandong men's basketball team reporter, two players of the Shandong team have recently been adjusted to leave the team. In order to play well in the next league, the Shandong men's basketball team has regrouped in Jinan to start training, but these 2 players have not appeared in the team, they are Si Kun and Ma Guanghan.
Si Kun, 27, is a striker who debuted in the Zhejiang Guangsha youth team. In the 2013-17 season, Si Kun played for the NBL team Anhui Wenyi. During this time, he helped the team win 2 NBL League runners-ups, as well as 1 championship, and was named the NBL Preseason Scoring Champion.
In the 2018 season, the 23-year-old Si Kun joined the Guangzhou Dragon and Lions. Although Si Kun is not the main player in Guangzhou, as a major rotation player, his performance in the league has been recognized by the team's coaching staff.
At the beginning of last year, Si Kun switched to the Shandong men's basketball team. After joining the team, the then coach Gong Xiaobin also gave Si Kun some opportunities to play, but in the shandong team with strong players, Si Kun did not prove himself through excellent performance.
This season, with the return of Ding Yanyuhang and Liu Guancen, Si Kun also completely lost his position in the team. Now that he is halfway through the CBA league, he has only played for 1 minute for the team, and all but 1 block is zero.
Unlike the situation of Si Kun, Ma Guanghan is a young player cultivated by the Shandong men's basketball team itself. Ma Guanghan, who plays as a point guard on the field, has been loaned to NBL team Anhui Wenyi for the last two seasons, except for some playing time in his first season in the first team.
At present, the Shandong team's defender line has Gao Shiyan, Wang Ruheng and Chen Peidong, as well as foreign aid Hudson, Ma Guanghan simply does not have the opportunity to represent the team in the CBA League.
Judging from the situation of Si Kun and Ma Guanghan, it is not too surprising that they were laid off by Shandong. After all, their stay in the team can not bring any help to the Shandong men's basketball team, and they also occupy the registration quota of 2 local players.
The cutting of the two also shows that the Shandong men's basketball team will have some new actions in the window period in February. At present, there are still players like Liu Hangchu, Duan Jiangpeng, Luo Xudong and Zhang Chunjun in the CBA free market who have proved themselves in the CBA league in the past.
In the case of the semi-league, the club has basically no hope of bringing in a third foreign aid, and now Shandong can only rely on signing free agents to strengthen the strength of the team. As for which two "big fish" free agents will be signed by the Shandong men's basketball team in the upcoming window, let's wait and see...
