Compared with the performance in the Liaoning men's basketball team before being loaned, Gao Shiyan achieved rapid progress and tore off the sadness label on his body in one fell swoop. In the Liaoning men's basketball team, Gao Shiyan is regarded as a tragic figure, because he has fallen victim to the team's championship twice. Before the start of the 2017-18 season, Gao Shiyan was loaned to the Jilin men's basketball team in exchange for Zhong Cheng's loan rights. That season, the Liaoning men's basketball team won the first CBA championship in team history. Gao Shiyan missed the championship, and in the 2 seasons after his return, the Liaoning men's basketball team failed to win the championship. Before the start of last season, the Liaoning men's basketball team, in order to rush the championship, loaned Gao Shiyan to the Shandong men's basketball team in exchange for Zhu Rongzhen's loan rights.
On loan twice, the Liaoning men's basketball team only has Gao Shiyan. In addition, so far has not been able to touch the championship, on the surface, Gao Shiyan has become the most tragic figure of the Liaoning men's basketball team, and public opinion has constantly complained about him. In fact, this is not the case, 2 times of being loaned out has become a good thing for Gao Shiyan, and he has completed a big turnaround.
Before being loaned to the Jilin men's basketball team, Gao Shiyan had entered the CBA for 2 seasons, but there were few opportunities to play. In his debut season, Gao Shiyan played 24 games, averaging only 2 minutes per game. In the second season, Gao Shiyan's performance did not improve at all, and he averaged only 3 minutes of playing time per game. Just a full-fledged marginal person, Gao Shiyan could not even get the opportunity to prove himself. If it were not for the loan to the Jilin men's basketball team, Gao Shiyan would continue to sit on the bench and see no hope of being reused.
Entering the Jilin men's basketball team is different, the team's defender line has no strongmen, and Gao Shiyan is reused for the first time. Averaging 31.6 minutes per game, Gao Shiyan was used as the core of the outside line. Also did not live up to the team, Gao Shiyan broke out, scoring 24 points and 9 assists in a single game. Showing the standard of a first-class defender, Gao Shiyan won the favor of Du Feng and entered the Chinese men's basketball team.
It is precisely because the Jilin men's basketball team played well that the Liaoning men's basketball team recalled Gao Shiyan in advance before the start of the 2018-19 season. However, because the Liaoning men's basketball team has two top national defenders, Guo Allen and Zhao Jiwei, Gao Shiyan can only play as a substitute. Compared with the Performance in the Jilin Men's Basketball Team, there was also a sharp decline. Guo Allen and Zhao Jiwei are in the year of playing, and Gao Shiyan has no hope of counterattack in the Liaoning men's basketball team, and can only serve as a substitute for a long time. Being loaned to the Shandong men's basketball team is a good opportunity for Gao Shiyan.
The Shandong men's basketball team lacks local high-quality defenders, and Gao Shiyan was entrusted with heavy responsibilities when he first arrived. Also seized the opportunity, Gao Shiyan achieved a big outbreak in the Shandong men's basketball team, once again entered the national team, and also entered the All-Star. Judging from Gao Shiyan's performance in the Shandong men's basketball team for two seasons, there is a chance to compete for the starter when he returns to the Liaoning men's basketball team in the future.
