Will the two teams of Shandong and Qingdao completely decline in the current season? This may not be big, because they have further made up for their shortcomings during the window period. Just like the Shandong team, with the return of Ding Yanyuhang and Jiao Hailong, it will make their overall lineup strength become stronger! If nothing else, their counterattack will officially begin in the third stage, and the same is true for the Qingdao team. But are they really going to sink to the bottom this season? Let's take a look at it with the basketball brother!
The situation in Shandong is very bad
First of all, let's take a look at the situation of Shandong team, I believe you also know that they are now ranked 10th in the CBA League with a record of 15 wins and 13 losses. Their ranking is very dangerous, because they are only 4 games away from the thirteenth ranked Xinjiang team. But as far as their schedule in the third stage is concerned, they will play five rounds of encounters with the five teams of Guangdong, Shenzhen, Beijing, Beijing And Tianjin, although the strength of the two teams of Beijing Control and Tianjin is slightly weaker, but if Xu Changsuo is not cautious, they may really turn over, as for the other three strong teams? When the Shandong team encountered them, they really didn't necessarily take advantage!
Shandong urgently needs to make up the bench seats
Although the return of Ding Yanyuhang and Jiao Hailong has further increased the overall lineup thickness of the Shandong team, there is still a clear gap between them and other strong teams, especially their bench seats, and the gap has become even larger. Even if it is rumored on the Internet that the Shandong team has signed a third foreign aid, it is difficult for them to win strong foreign aides such as Jones and Franklin in the current situation of the Shandong team. Moreover, the single foreign aid policy of four people in four quarters has also compressed the role of foreign aid in the team to the extreme. It can be seen from here that if the Shandong team wants to make a comeback in the third stage, Xu Changsuo can only rely on local players to break the game.
Xu Changsuo will focus on cultivating a second-tier lineup
In particular, their youth army is the focus of their breakthrough. However, as far as the current situation of the Shandong team is concerned, Xu Changsuo can only focus on strengthening the cultivation of players such as Ma Xinxin, Liu Yi, Liu Guancen and Qiao Wenhan during the window period, even if in addition to Ma Xinxin, several other people are veterans, but this time is not a perfect opportunity for Xu Changsuo to justify his name? As long as Xu Changsuo let the Shandong team re-play the spirit of the Qilu people in the third stage of the game, and successfully counterattacked the three strong teams of Guangdong, Shenzhen, Beijing and Beijing Control, then Xu Changsuo is really likely to completely turn over, because they have reached the critical point of bottoming out and rebounding!
Qingdao's record has also declined severely
Second, let's take a look at the situation of Qingdao, who are currently in the 20th place in the CBA League with a record of 8 wins and 20 losses. In terms of overall performance, there is a clear gap between them and last season. You know, they were the top six teams in the league last season, but when Liu Chuanxing and Adams, the two players, left the team and flew alone, their overall strength declined significantly. Not only has their outside offensive ability shrunk a lot, but even their interior line has lost the strength it should have last season, and it seems that when these two players left the team, the overall strength of qingdao team was really hit hard.
Gao Shi'ao became the key to Qingdao's breakthrough
Even if they signed Wells, a small foreign aid, his comprehensive performance obviously has a big gap with Adams! And Johnson, a big foreign aid, his overall performance is far beyond Stimac. But even so, the Qingdao team is still facing a very difficult problem. In addition to strengthening their overall strength on the inside, they also need their outside players to be able to regain their strength. However, as far as the current situation of the Qingdao team is concerned, they can only rely on Gao Shiao to break the current deadlock in terms of internal line, because in terms of height, he is obviously more dominant. As for the outside line of Qingdao team, it can only let local players carry the banner.
Qingdao will become more and more frustrated
In particular, Lin Weihan, Xu Jiahan, Wang Hong, Wang Ruize and Zhao Tailong and other players, they are the focus of Wu Qinglong's breakthrough, but in terms of their performance in the game, only Zhao Tailong and Lin Weihan can take on the heavy responsibility. But qingdao team in the outside of the most urgent is the No. 2 position, that is, the point guard, as far as these players are concerned, it is obvious that only Lin Weihan, a veteran, has the possibility of picking up the burden, as for other players, they are either playing point guards or playing small forwards. But even so, Wu Qinglong still wants them to make a qualitative breakthrough during the window period! We were struggling, but our goal in the third phase was still to impact the playoffs!
Shandong and Qingdao will make a comeback
But if it is said that the two teams of Shandong and Qingdao will sink to the end? That's probably not really big, because now they're clearly at a critical juncture of bottoming out. Because the first two stages of the game obviously hurt them. Even if it is difficult for them to regain the glory of last season, they will have to make another breakthrough in the third stage of the game in order to make a comeback! What do you think about that?
