Recently, the CBA teams are preparing for the upcoming third stage of the non-stop status, according to the Shandong TV Sports Channel, the Shandong men's basketball team is currently preparing for the Shandong Provincial Training Base, and the team's two main players Ding Yanyuhang. Jiao Hailong also basically recovered and officially returned to the team for training, coach Xu Changsuo revealed that the team will plan to go to the Shunde division on the 21st to meet the third stage of the game.
The Shandong men's basketball team, which changed hands again this season, was taken over by the previous high-speed group again, and in the first time of ownership, it fired the team's meritorious coach Gong Xiaobin, and changed to Xu Changsuo, who had previously coached the Shandong youth team, to become the new manager of the team, and Xu Changsuo, who did have a certain gap between coaching ability and Gong Xiaobin, only let the team achieve a record of 15 wins and 13 losses after the end of the second stage, considering that they once reached the semi-final stage last season, such a performance is more or less accepted by fans. However, what makes Shandong fans happy is that Ding Yanyuhang, who has not played for the team for 3 years, finally returned to the field this season.
Because of knee injuries and other reasons, Ding Yanyuhang has not been able to represent the Shandong men's basketball team in the past 3 seasons, according to his last appearance in the CBA game dates back to the 17-18 season, that season Xiaoding averaged a career-best 25.7 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game, winning the regular season MVP award for 2 consecutive years, but because he insisted on playing with a knee injury in the playoff semifinals and Guangsha' showdown, the injury worsened, which made Ding Yanyuhang miss the CBA stage in the following seasons. After experiencing all kinds of doubts, Xiaoding also made his debut in the first stage, and in the opening game and the Battle of North Control, he hit 5 three-pointers outside the three-point line, cut 19 points to announce the return of his king, and then cut a season-high 34 points against Tongxi Xiaoding.
Throughout the first stage, Xiaoding can average 14.2 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2 assists per game, and the three-point shooting rate has reached 34.9%, the overall performance is not bad, but in the window period of the first stage, Xiaoding was unfortunately injured by his teammates in training, and once again injured his knee, which also missed all the games of Shandong in the second stage, fortunately, the injury was not serious, and Also allowed Xiaoding to come back in the third stage. Since the first stage has ushered in the proof, so Xiaoding's strength should not be too worried, the fans are most worried about Xu Changsuo is likely to continue to treat Xiaoding as a donkey. In the first stage, because Xiao Ding had just recovered from a major injury, but suffering from the team's main Chinese class at that time, Ding Yanyu airline had more than 30+ playing time in many games, and a weak team like Tongxi played for 42 minutes.
If Xu Changsuo still has to use Xiaoding as a "labor model" in the third stage, it is likely that he will be at risk of injury again. As of now, Shandong is temporarily ranked tenth in the league with a record of 15 wins and 13 losses, although it is in the playoffs, but considering that they will play against Guangdong and Tianjin in the third stage. Shenzhen, Shougang these strong teams, in order to keep the playoff position, it is difficult to ensure that Xu Changsuo will not overuse the team's core as before, and Xiao Ding, who has not returned to the field of play hard, if it is really because of Xu Changsuo's loss of employment, then the team is really not worth the loss.
