On March 10, Beijing time, the CBA regular season Fujian vs. Shandong, this battle, Fujian foreign aid Gordon once again played crazy personal data, only in the first half of the cut 28 points and 7 assists.
In the second half, seeing that Fujian was still behind, Gordon further improved his offensive firepower, throughout the third quarter, Gordon scored 26 points in a single quarter, but only 1 assist, it was obvious that Gordon wanted to help the team win through one person's strength, unfortunately, after the first three quarters, Fujian was still 8 points behind Shandong. By the end of the first three quarters, Gordon had scored 53 points and eight assists on 15-of-27 shooting.
In the final quarter, the backward Fujian still did not change the weakness of the defensive end, Shandong's Wang Ruheng and Gao Shiyan hit three points successively, and Gao Deng immediately returned the favor by breaking through the free throws, but in the next round, Fujian local player Liu Xucheng made a mistake, and shandong foreign aid Walter scored in the penalty area. These several rounds fully show the helplessness of Gordon's performance in this game, with the strength of one person, it is difficult for Gordon to help Fujian win, basketball is a team sport after all.
In the end, Fujian still lost to Shandong 115-143, suffering two consecutive defeats, and the fifth defeat in the last 6 games. And Gordon's personal performance is impeccable, after the whole game, Gordon scored 63 points, 8 assists, 2 rebounds and 2 steals on 18 of 34, but Fujian lost, and Gordon was reduced to an empty slash.
It is worth mentioning that this is not Gordon's first empty slash, in the last game between Fujian and Xinjiang, Gordon did 14 of 27, 16 of 16 of 16 free throws, 62 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists. After two games, Gordon scored 125 points, which can be called the first empty group leader of the active CBA.
If the personal performance spreads to the whole season, Gordon's empty slash means more sufficient, entering the third stage so far 5 games, Gordon at least one game cut 31 points, the remaining 4 games, the lowest single game score has 42 points, the average cut 49.2 points per game, but these 5 games Fujian 1 win 4 losses, it can be said that Gordon's personal high score, can not help Fujian win. At present, Fujian ranks fourth from the bottom of the league with 7 wins and 26 losses, only better than Jiangsu, Ningbo and Tongxi.
Fujian's lack of competitiveness is visible to the naked eye, and even lost to the league new army Ningbo, just in the last 5 games of Gordon crazy data output, Fujian lost 4 games, and the average net loss of these 4 games exceeded 20 points, which was enough for the overall weakness of the Fujian men's basketball team, not a Gordon can be saved. In the future, if Fujian wants to win more games, it needs to have a better local lineup to build, otherwise, over-reliance on Gordon cannot win!
