Last season, Shi De Shuai averaged 15.1 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game. It is not uncommon to score 20 points in a single game, and Shi De Shuai also has a highlight of 27 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists in a single game. Regarded as the absolute core of the Tianjin men's basketball team, at the end of the season, Shi Deshuai also got a maximum salary contract.
This season, the coach's average per game dropped to 9.1 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game. It is not uncommon to score less than 5 points in a single game, and there are still some games in which the coach has not scored a single point. The data fell off a cliff, and Shi Deshuai also became the object of public opinion ridicule. Because of the maximum salary, Shi Deshuai is considered to be one of the worst top salary gentlemen in the CBA.
Shi Deshuai's ability to be criticized declined too quickly, and the past data was only counted. Some people also think that after taking the maximum salary, Shi De Shuai lay flat and had no motivation to struggle. It can be said that throughout the regular season this season, the reputation of the coach was very bad.
In fact, Shi De Shuai was wronged, he is not incompetent, not without professionalism, the data decline is largely due to his sacrifice for the team. "He himself is from the No. 4 position, but because the team needs him, he is basically in the No. 5 position now, and when he confronts the opposing foreign aid center, he may be physically and in terms of ability," said Zhang Degui, head coach of the Tianjin men's basketball team. Shi De Shuai played in an inappropriate position, but he still chose to accept and gave his all.
Shi Deshuai's height is only 2.05 meters, which gives him a natural disadvantage when he is in the fifth position. Coupled with the non-strength type of big man, Shi Deshuai is also at a disadvantage in confrontation, and the technical advantage cannot be exerted. The sharp decline in data became an inevitable thing for Shi Deshuai, which also made him come under fire. However, Shi De shuai often appears in the fifth position, but he has strong tactical significance for the Tianjin men's basketball team, and he is also the invisible hero of the team to enter the playoffs.
For the dedication and sacrifice of Shi Dehuai, head coach Zhang Degui also recognized it. "He has been working very hard, and he has brought a lot of positive energy to the team", Zhang Degui believes that Shi Dehuai is an indispensable player for the Tianjin men's basketball team. In addition, Zhang Degui also pointed out another reason for the downturn of Shi Deshuai, that is, the ideological baggage is too heavy, and he wants to play well, but he can't play well.
Zhang Degui stood up to speak for Shi Deshuai, indicating that the Tianjin men's basketball team still recognized his contribution. Judging from the current situation of the Tianjin men's basketball team, Shi Deshuai will need to play the fifth position for a long time in the future. This means that it is very difficult for the coach to re-play the highlight data, but as long as he can get the recognition of the team, his efforts and sacrifices are meaningful.
What's more, Shi Deshuai also has the possibility of making a name for himself in the fifth position. This season, the German coach is limited by the heavy burden of thinking, if he can get rid of it and go light, the performance will inevitably rise. At the same time, in the case that the height problem cannot be solved, Shi Deshuai can still improve his confrontation ability through training, which can also help him improve in the fifth position. All efforts will not be in vain, I hope that Shi Deshuai will not only be recognized by the Tianjin men's basketball team in the future, but also play gorgeous data again and be accepted by public opinion.
