15 wins, 18 losses, 14th in the league! This is the record of the team after Zhou Qi left the Xinjiang team, from a top four strong team in the league has fallen to the playoff rankings, which also reflects from the side that Zhou Qi still has a good ability to lead the team within the CBA range, and the Xinjiang team has two different teams when he has him and without him! Many fans have questioned why the Xinjiang team has only one less Zhou Qi in the lineup than last season, why the record will be so disparity, and head coach ADijiang has a lot of responsibility.
In fact, since Adi Jiang became the head coach of the Xinjiang team, the outside world has not stopped questioning him, especially in the last season, the Internet is the voice that let him "leave class", but the Xinjiang team management has great trust in Adi Jiang, so that he can always sit in this position to coach. In this season, one of the most outrageous things is that Adi Jiang has put the best defender in the team in the past few seasons, Lingxu, on the bench to put his son Arslan to the right.
In the previous game, Asahi averaged 26.1 minutes per game, and by this season, the playing time was reduced to 16.5 minutes, and the average number of assists per game was reduced from 12.2 points and 7.3 assists last season to 5.7 points and 4 assists this season, and the total number of shots per game was reduced from 9.5 last season to 4.6 this season. Although Zeng Lingxu is a bit older, he is not completely at the point where he can't play, even if he only plays 16.5 minutes, he can still deliver 4 assists, which is still very good in organizing the attack.
On the other hand, Arslan's playing time this season has reached 23.2 minutes, but he can only hand over 7.4 points and 6.2 assists, shooting percentage and three-point shooting rate are only 44% and 32% respectively, although the number of assists is 6.2, but it really can't be described well in organizing the team's offense. If it makes sense to squeeze Zeng Lingxu's time and opportunities on another, better player, it's the opposite. Imagine that after the dissolution of the Bayi team, Arslan has been in a state of no one,000, and finally the Xinjiang team accepted him, presumably the reasons for it should be known to everyone, in other words, if the head coach of the Xinjiang team is not AdiJiang, they will definitely not choose to sign Arslan, let alone use him as the main defender of the team. Xinjiang team in these years in the treatment of players (especially veterans), there are indeed many places wrong, which is also part of the reason why Zhou Qi left Xinjiang in the first place, several operations, so that a championship team has become a team to squeeze a playoff ticket!
