On the fourth day of training after the Spring Festival, the Liaoning men's basketball team released a team training video. What is surprising is that Han Dejun, who returned to Shenyang for treatment in advance of his previous injuries, has returned to the team. Less than a month after the injury, Daehan's return to the team has undoubtedly brought good news to the Liaoning team, and in the third stage of the CBA regular season at the end, the irreplaceable center of liaoning basketball will also fight with the team.
He returned to the team less than a month after being injured
Han Dejun's injury came in a match against Guangdong on the evening of January 13. During the game, Han Dejun was injured when defending Guangdong's foreign aid Weems broke through, resulting in "broken nose bone, hemorrhagic edema of the eyeball, and impaired vision". After that, Han Dejun left the Changchun Division early and returned to Shenyang for further examination and treatment.
At that time, there was widespread speculation that Han Dejun was going to undergo surgery to recover a fractured nasal bone. However, Daehan returned to the team less than a month after being injured, which may indicate that Han Dejun will not undergo surgery for the time being, otherwise, on the fourth day of the team's resumption of training after the Spring Festival, Daehan does not need to return to the team at all, but should be in the hospital for rehabilitation or preparation before surgery.
At the same time, judging from the video officially released by the Liaoning team, Dahan did not appear in the team's joint training, but Dahan wore a training suit and carried out simple dribbling training, which may indicate that Han Dejun will carry out conservative treatment, so as to escort the team in the final sprint stage of the regular season and the playoffs.
It is worth mentioning that Han Dejun, who has worked hard for the team, has always had the habit of insisting on playing with injuries or conservatively treating the team. Far from mentioning, let's say that in recent years, Han Dejun has always been like this. In the 2018-19 season, Han Dejun accidentally suffered a fracture of the fourth metacarpal bone of his left hand in the final stage of the regular season, and Daehan finally chose not to operate and take conservative treatment, Daehan originally wanted to come back in the finals to save the team, unfortunately, Liaoning team was out of the semifinals early and missed the finals, but Dahan's efforts and persistence were seen by everyone.
Last season (2020-21 season), Han Dejun suffered a fatigue fracture in the elbow of his right arm, and he also chose to play with injuries for one season without surgery. In the final moments of the season, Daehan's injury also significantly affected his performance. However, due to the shortage of internal manpower, especially the center forward, Daehan still has no surgery.
Now, Han Dejun has once again chosen to be injured and not in the line of fire, and this professional spirit is also touching.
Liaoning welcomed back the inner line dinghai god needle
If Han Dejun can complete the recovery through this offseason, then he can also bring great help to the Liaoning team in the third stage of the CBA regular season. Even if Daehan can't be completely healed, and may even have to wear a mask to fight, Daehan can also contribute to Liao Basket.
Especially in rebounding. When Han Dejun was not injured, Liaoning averaged 50 rebounds per game this season and ranked first in the league, while after Daehan left the division with an injury, Liaoning only averaged 41.5 rebounds per game and ranked sixteenth in the league (fifth from the bottom). With or without Han Dejun, the gap between the Liaoning team's rebounds is clear at a glance. Moreover, after Daehan left the team injured, the Liaoning team's rebounding protection was not good, during this time, they averaged 45.3 rebounds per game by the opponent, and the average rebound net loss per game was 3.8.
From the 25th round to the end of the second stage of the CBA regular season (round 28), Liaoning's rebounds are even more unflattering, these four rounds, Liaoning team can only grab 38.8 rebounds per game, but was grabbed by the opponent to average 47.3 rebounds per game, averaging 8.5 rebounds per game. Because the rebound loss was too large, it also brought a lot of trouble to the Liaoning team, resulting in their fiasco against the Xinjiang team, and in the last minute because of the controversial penalty decision to beat the North Control team.
After Daehan was injured, liaoning's internal line seemed to be able to fill his vacancy, after all, Liaoning's internal line configuration this season is good. In addition to Dahan, they also have big foreign aid Moland who has performed well in rebounds in the past, and local insiders include Li Xiaoxu, Fu Hao and Zhu Rongzhen. However, after Han's injury, the Liaoning team's internal performance was weak, especially in rebounding, which also made the Liaoning team miss Han Dejun particularly.
Of course, Han Dejun, who is not 100% healthy, may be difficult to completely make up for the rebounding problem of the Liaoning team, but with Han, the Liaoning team can at least get a big supplement. This season, Daehan has averaged 9.9 rebounds per game, the rebounding king of the Liaoning team and the only player on the team to average more than 7 rebounds per game. At the same time, Daehan's rebounding rate reached 23.1%, also ranking first in the team, and was the only player on the team with a rebounding rate of more than 18%. Even if Daehan comes out with an injury, his block advantage and rebounding ability can still help Liao Basket. Given that rebounds are the lifeline, more rebounds can spawn more ball rights, so The Great Han, as the inner line of the Liaoning basket, is also irreplaceable for the team.
epilogue
In the video released by Liaoning Basket and the photos posted by head coach Yang Ming on social media, in addition to Dahan, Guo Allen and Zhang Zhenlin, who were also injured in the second stage of the regular season, also returned to the team for training, which also allowed the Liaoning team to gather the complete lineup again.
In the third phase of the CBA regular season (which may start at the end of the month), Shenyang is rumored to be one of the hosts of the double division, and if so, Liaoning will also usher in the final sprint of the regular season at home. At that time, the Liaoning team that welcomes back Korea will also launch a final impact on the goal in mind.
