According to normal thinking, the top salary player of a team should be the core player of the team, the cornerstone of the team's construction, and the needle and key on the field. Unfortunately, Shandong Expressway is just the opposite, the team's existing two top salary players, one is Jia Cheng, one of the players who has been criticized by fans the most this season in addition to the manager, and the other is Ding Yanyuhang, one of the most controversial players who have re-played for Shandong this season by taking advantage of the return of Shandong Expressway. From the perspective of contribution to the team, Jia Cheng did not miss the game, all 28 rounds of games have played, but the decline in state has become the norm, and the key moments will basically become spectators on the bench, and Xiaoding, although he has the trust of the rookie manager, has only played 10 games for the team, and the performance on the field the fans' evaluation is that the camel is bigger than the horse. This is a neutral review, and the meaning is obvious. To sum up, Shandong Expressway is indeed suffering from the maximum salary, the two major top salaries can not play the role of the maximum salary, the core of the team is the non-top salary player Tao Hanlin, is gao Shiyan on loan, is Chen Peidong who still holds a B contract. The media commented that the maximum salary of Shandong Expressway is not exaggerated in the CBA.
Jia Cheng signed a five-year long contract with the then King of Shandong in 2019 and was later appointed captain by the team, but for three seasons, he appeared in the vision of fans in a gradual decline. From averaging 9.4 points and 6.6 rebounds per game in the 19-20 season to averaging 9.1 points and 5.1 rebounds per game in the 20-21 season to averaging 6.6 points and 4.6 rebounds per game this season, his performance is obviously a bit unmatched with the top salary, poor confrontation, or famous butter player, and more importantly, extremely poor mental attributes, no fighting spirit on the court, and he hesitates to play. Compared with the current internal killer Tao Hanlin, it is not a grade. In the words of Shandong fans, it has gone farther and farther along Wu Ke's path.
And the story of Ding Yanyuhang and the Shandong team needless to say, after three years of grievances and The King of Shandong, he finally signed a two-year top salary contract, but unfortunately he was not able to play for the team last season, this maximum salary contract seems to have only symbolic significance, and this season, the King of Shandong East and West withdrew, Shandong High Speed returned, Xiao Ding and Shandong High Speed continued the leading edge, and finally had the opportunity to play for Shandong Again, which seemed to be a happy ending for Xiao Ding and Shandong Expressway. After all, the happiest time of Xiaoding CBA was in the Shandong high-speed era of that year, and now dreams back to the Tang Dynasty, but Xiaoding is no longer the original Xiaoding, and the high-speed is no longer the original high-speed.
On the one hand, this high-speed return, itself is not the story of your love and my wishes, but there are more tangled reasons, from the operation of the high-speed return, this return is obviously not the original ambition, more like the two sons after the remarriage to live together, the large-scale reinforcement is even more missing, even if the cost of relatively little free agent signing is only the signing of the singles King Qiao Wenhan, the front line that should be strengthened, the internal line are not operated, and the foreign aid operation is even more nested, The old Hudson and the cost-effective foreign aid Gillen Water re-signed back, what is more bizarre is that it also fell out with gong Xiaobin, the old rookie coach Xu Changsuo, replaced the runaway king, the result was not unexpected, the two stages of the regular season played a mess, winning or losing basically depends on the sky to eat, borrowing a description of the media: Shandong team relies on the past foundation to live, but where the foundation is thinner, it is estimated that they have long been saying goodbye to the playoffs. Last season's playoff four has become today's playoff goalkeepers, and the third stage is to fight for playoff tickets, and Shandong media is still ashamed to say that what results are justified.
On the other hand, Xiao Ding is obviously not the original Ding God, the four-word foreign aid can only appear in memory, Xiao Ding after the comeback has become a floor stream, in addition to the outside three-point ball can also occasionally appear Zheng Rong, other skills are almost disappeared with the injury, even so, compared with the fragile front line of Shandong High Speed, Xiao Ding is still the ceiling of the existing front, which can be seen from Xu Changsuo's use of him, two or three seasons have not played, just returned from injury, Xu Changsuo can actually use him to play for more than 40 minutes, As a result, the first stage of 13 rounds of the game was not finished before the injury, and in the interval before the second stage, Xu Changsuo even promised to give him more playing time, but unfortunately, he missed the entire second stage of the game due to an unexpected injury.
In the third stage, in the case of hopeless third foreign aid, Xiaoding will definitely be the last bottom card of Shandong Expressway's final playoff tickets, especially in the face of the devil's schedule in the last ten rounds, Xiaoding's play is estimated to determine whether the final Shandong Expressway can successfully get playoff tickets. And Xiaoding also needs to use the last chance of the regular season to justify the maximum salary of himself and Shandong Expressway, although it is a short ten rounds of games, but at least one playoff ticket is used to prove that they are not to waste the shandong team's top salary quota. Otherwise, the two top salaries of Shandong Expressway this season will really become a joke. Not to mention that having a maximum salary and not having the power of a maximum salary, holding the maximum salary and not doing anything, which is unfair to other players.
