On October 25, Beijing time, in the CBA regular season, Ding Yanyuhang ushered in a surprising outbreak, and he contributed as many as 9 three-pointers in the Shandong men's basketball team's 102:90 victory over Nanjing Tongxi.
In this game, Xiaoding frantically hit nine three-pointers on the outside, and finally played 42 minutes of 9 of 20 shots, 9 of 15 three-pointers, and created 10 free throws to shoot 7 of them, crazy to cut 34 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. Not only did he set a record for three-point shooting in the CBA since his career, but he also played the level that two MVP players should have that year.
Such a Small Ding is impressive, of course, this is only the fourth game at the beginning of the season, not enough to explain too many problems, but the transformation and changes shown by Xiao Ding are already exciting, and it can also be seen that Xu Changsuo's coaching will give Xiao Ding more playing time when facing a relatively weak opponent. After all, such an opponent does not provide a particularly high level of confrontation, which helps Xiaoding to recover gradually. Like when playing Liaoning before, Xu only used Xiaoding to play for two minutes, and Xiaoding had mistakes and leaks, which showed that Xiaoding still needed time to recover.
Ma Jian, a famous chinese men's basketball player, also gave a similar view on social media, saying that the performance of one game, or even two or three games, is not enough to determine everything, or it depends on the final success or failure of the entire season. After all, Xiao Ding has not played for more than two years, and now that he has just returned to the field, it is not easy to find it.
However, the author believes that Xiaoding's choice of transformation this time is very smart, he also knows the condition of his knees, wants to return to the peak, wants to play in the same way as in the past, constantly breaks through the inside line, overturns the river and the sea, overturns the opponent, it is not impossible, but the difficulty will be particularly large, and the time required may be particularly long.
So for Xiao Ding, the best way now is to change his playing style. Xiaoding's current style of play is actually exactly what the Chinese men's basketball team needs the most, and our Chinese men's basketball team has shown that the biggest problem in the previous Asian Cup qualifiers against opponents such as Japan, including the subsequent Olympic games to play Greece and Canada, is that it cannot shoot three-pointers in the case of strong confrontation. If Xiaoding can shoot more three-pointers in the No. 2 and No. 3 positions, there is no doubt that he can help Yao Ming and Du Feng solve the top priorities, and it will be a blessing for the Chinese men's basketball team to return to the peak in 2024.
