At noon on March 20, as the Shandong men's basketball team defeated Shougang 96-89 in the 37th round of the CBA League, regardless of the outcome of the last round, its number of wins will surpass Thatcong. This announces that the North Control men's basketball team has officially missed the playoffs in the 2021-22 mid-career basketball season.
This is another season that the fans of Beijing Control regret. In the middle of the season, North Control went through several twists and turns, but finally fell at the last minute, failed to achieve the goals set at the beginning of the season, and did not qualify for the playoffs for two consecutive seasons. In the three intermittent stages of the game, North Control from coach Marbury to new and old players have been honed and tested, which is an extremely important experience in their respective careers. At the same time, The Beijing Control Basketball Club has also made great investment in creating a new force in Beijing basketball, giving the team, which is still a new CBA army, maximum support.
Before the start of the season, the club renewed, enriched the coaching staff, and carried out a series of operations on the configuration of the players. Some veteran players who have not met the tactical requirements have retired or left the team, and some newcomers who have never played in professional leagues or have played a small number of times have joined and become the new blood of the team. However, while this makes the team full of vitality and vitality, it also leaves behind the shortcomings and hidden dangers of the players' extreme lack of experience and insufficient technical level. The unexpected attrition caused by the arrival of many serious injuries at a critical moment, and the lack of luck, have hit the team even harder. This is the main reason for the decline in the performance of the North Control men's basketball team in the third stage of the league.
Young people growing up Classics are unforgettable
The North Control men's basketball team has played several classic battles in the season that is about to pass, and it can be seen that the team's hard work reflects their tenacity. Throughout the season, several young people who have focused on the team's development have also made rapid and impressive progress.
In the second game of the opening season, Beijing Control defeated the bitter Jilin team by 20 points, making the fans full of confidence and hope for the team's new season. In the middle of the season, they beat Guangzhou through two extra hours. It should be known that the latter once squeezed out the place for Beijing Control to advance to the playoffs in the last moments of last season, and this battle made the players' demons dissipate and boost morale. In the backwater battle at the end of the regular season, Beijing Control overthrew the defending champion Guangdong team with a substitute lineup and played the most classic and memorable game of the season.
In terms of players, zhang fan, a shooting guard who has grown into the humerus of the team, continued the strong momentum of last season in the first half of the season, and his accurate outside projection often continues the firepower in time when the team needs it, which is an important part of the team's attack. Although his projection was greatly affected after a facial injury, he still ranked second on the team's scoring list with an average of 17.6 points per game, behind small foreign player Lanz Borg. Zhang Fan is only 26 years old, in the year of playing, from coming to the team rarely get the opportunity to play, to becoming a major scorer, his growth is obvious to all.
The league "rookie" Liao Sanning is even more eye-catching, his sharp breakthrough, dexterous dribbling, dare to fight style, are quite appreciated by coach Marbury. Xiao Liao's goal before the season is to average 10 points and 5 assists per game, and his current two statistics are 12.5 points and 4.6 assists per game, basically realizing his plan, playing in the professional league in the first year, he is already the team's main point guard, Liao Sanning is the team's future hope. Like Zhang Fan, if it were not for the serious fracture of the face injury, his data would be even better. Veteran Yu Changdong has always been conscientious and dedicated, third-year student Wang Shaojie plays more tough, Zou Yuchen has basically integrated into the team to play better and better, they are also the backbone of the team can rely on.
Internal and external imbalance Foreign aid Is common Sudden injuries are the main reasons for the decline in performance
The reasons for the decline in the final stage of The North Control and the eventual failure to qualify for the playoffs are objective, as well as the reasons for the team and the players themselves.
Although there are only 38 rounds of the league this season, the training period and competition period caused by the epidemic, the Spring Festival, the Winter Olympics, the national team window period, etc. are also long enough, and the fragmented three stages, the regular season deadline is not earlier than the end of the previous season. The tense and boring lockdown period and the injuries brought about by the fierce struggle on the field exist in all teams, but the North Control is more serious, and the injury is not the right time. Zou Yuchen's inability to play due to a serious ankle injury in the second half of the third stage was a loss to the inner line of Beijing Control, while Zhang Fan and Liao Sanning suffered a facial fracture and serious injury in the second stage of the game, which made the team's use of people on the outside line stretched, one less can shoot, and one less can burst, the negative impact is too great. This also directly led to the weakness of the team's lack of attack on the outside line to be more obvious.
In terms of team technical statistics, although The 3-point shooting rate of Beijing Control is not the lowest among all 20 teams, the average number of shots per game is 22.4 and the number of hits 7.6 are close to the bottom, which is only to suppress the Sichuan team. It was a serious offensive shortcoming for the team, which was particularly evident in the final regular season game against direct rival Tianjin, whose foreign aid Rochester alone hit a double-digit 3-pointer, while almost no one on the North Control men's basketball side dared to shoot. In the game that beat Xinjiang in overtime at the beginning of the season, Beijing Control grabbed 41 more rebounds than its opponents, which is almost a CBA record, but it is surprising that it failed to win the opponent in regular time. While showing full strength on the inside, the attack on the outside is extremely weak and even sometimes ignored by opponents, and such a game scene has appeared many times this season.
In terms of technical details, Because most of the young people are young and the basic skills are not passed, It often becomes the loser side of "details determine success or failure". In terms of free throw percentage, North Control is the league's penultimate team and the only team to shoot less than 70 percent. Still taking the key game against Tianjin as an example, the opponent's free throw shooting rate was 81% in the league, while Beijing Control was 68.6%, and in that game, 9 goals were lost, and finally lost the life and death battle by 4 points. Looking at the mistakes, the average number of mistakes of the North Control players is a common thing, which has made the fans feel strange, the current statistics are 18.5 errors per game, ranking fourth in the number of mistakes in the league, and the repeated loss of the ball is turned into an attack by the opponent for no reason. This is the reason why the training is not done well, and it is also related to the fact that the basic skills of the players are not solid.
The key to winning or losing basketball games is still people. The three foreign aides of the North Control men's basketball team are not prominent enough, of course, this is related to the constraints of the special period, and there are no more choices. They often fail to point out when they score at key moments, and in fact, whether it is Haas, Todorovic or Landsberg, their performance has not met the expectations of the coaching staff and fans. In terms of domestic players, there are too many young people, too few scenes experienced, and lack of game experience, which are the reasons why the team cannot achieve better results.
Perseverance Confidence in building a strong team in the league
There are achievements and improvements, problems and ups and downs, which is a phenomenon that a professional team must go through in the process of growth, not to mention that for a new army like Beijing Control that has not been in the CBA league for a long time, there is no need to be too harsh, after all, their hopes are far greater than disappointment.
Coming to Beijing, from Chongqing Aolong to Beikong Forbidden Warriors, from a weak team that was slaughtered at will, to being able to beat Guangdong more than once with a strong team, from the downstream team even ranking at the bottom to the highest place in the league, two seasons are only one step away from the playoffs, from the home of the Menkolo Sparrow to the pursuit of many fans, Beijing Control has only gone through a short period of 6 or 7 seasons. From the same city derby was completely dominated by the Shougang men's basketball team, to the opponents can already be defeated, the North Control men's basketball team only took a few years. In order to achieve the goal of becoming a new force in basketball in Beijing, Beijing Control Club has a lot of investment every year, coaches and players are also working hard, and fans still recognize the growth of the club and the team.
This season, there are too many problems that need to be summarized for Beijing Control, but overall, the North Control men's basketball team is in a period of growth, maintaining the current momentum, continuing to invest in team construction, giving the coaching staff more time, creating a stronger and deeper team culture, and accumulating heritage, which must be done. Next season, the better Beijing Forbidden Warriors will appear in front of everyone.
