After the Shanghai men's basketball team was rebuilt this season, it directly played the third place in the regular season and successfully entered the playoffs (the first round of bye, directly played the second round)!
Shanghai's current lineup has a lot of people available in almost every position, the only drawback is the playoff experience, especially the two young players in the backcourt, Guo Allen and Li Tianrong, have not played in the playoffs, and there is no guarantee that they will be able to play in the regular season, if the two young players can play more and more courageously in the playoffs, the Shanghai men's basketball team even has the opportunity to try to impact the championship again. However, for Li Chunjiang and the Shanghai men's basketball team, they want more than just this season to return to the playoffs, they want it now and in the future!
Now this Shanghai men's basketball team needless to say, with such a lineup, they are a strong team in the league in recent years, in addition to Li Chunjiang also intends to start cultivating young players, but they can grow up faster, the front Guo Haowen and Li Tianrong have become the absolute main force of the team, another younger player Dai Hao also got a lot of opportunities to perform at the end of the season, in addition, Shanghai team and "domestic Zion" Li Hongquan has not played for the team, if these players grow up in this way , Shanghai men's basketball team do not worry about the future of the team at all!
However, the Shougang men's basketball team, which is also a strong team in the league, has not done as well as the Shanghai team, and it seems that they only consider the team's present, and they do not think much about the future of the team for the time being. The average age of the Shougang men's basketball team should be the largest in the league, several main players are around 30 years old, only Fan Ziming is only 24 years old this year! In recent years, the Shougang team has not said that it has not recruited new people into the first team, but these new people have not been given many opportunities.
Born in 2001, Yang Ali, the second year of his career, only got seven appearances, averaging just 6.7 minutes per game. Born in 2001, Fan Yiming, who was known as the double core of the Shougang youth team with Zeng Fanbo, only got 2 appearances in his first professional season, averaging only 4 minutes of playing time per game! Born in 1998, Luan Licheng, who was selected with the fifth overall pick in last year's draft, has only played for Shougang once this season. In addition, Yu Ximiao after 2000, Bai Tian, born in 1999, and Sun Chenran, born in 199, have not been given the opportunity to play. Shougang team really put their hopes on the present, as for the future they may be able to rely on only Zeng Fanbo this "lottery", after all, Xiao Zeng will return to the CBA in the future, he can only play for the Shougang team, and he is also the most talented young player in China in recent years. If, once Zeng Fanbo enters the NBA, or can't reach the desired height after that, then where should the Shougang men's basketball team go in the future?
