On April 2, Beijing time, the first round of the CBA playoffs began, and Beijing Shougang lost to Jilin 102-104, falling behind 0-1 on aggregate. In the case of killing opponents twice in the regular season and winning two games by a full 60 points, why did the Beijing Shougang team lose the first game of the playoffs? It has to be said that head coach Yannis must be responsible for this.
Compared with the Jilin team with only 7 players, the Beijing Shougang team can be said to have a large number of soldiers, Yannis has as many as 3 foreign aides alone, while the opposite Jilin team has only 1 Jones, and in the comparison of the inside line, the Beijing Shougang team is even more advantageous. But what people did not expect was that with a good hand of cards in hand, Yannis did not seem to know how to play.
In the first three quarters of the game, his use of Jeremy Lin has caused many people to question. For example, the famous basketball commentator Yang Yi wrote on social media, "Jeremy Lin's strongest game of the season!" He scored 11 points on 5-of-5 shooting in the opening game, put Jones on the defensive, and then Yannis took him down... Jones immediately lived, Jilin led to 10 points, Shuhao came up to continue to suppress Jones, and Shougang chased 6 points. Yannis has replaced Shuhao again... Jones is alive again. Hey, what do you mean. ”
It can be said that it was Yannis's employment that led to the Beijing Shougang team digging a big pit, and after the success of filling the pit in the last quarter, in the most critical round, Yannis made a choice that people could not understand at all.
In the case of Jeremy Lin stealing Jones, he took the initiative to request a timeout, replaced Jeremy Lin, and sent Gibson. In fact, Yannis's mind is not difficult to guess, the fourth quarter of the game Gibson's hand feels hot, and Jeremy Lin's defensive effect on Jones throughout the game is excellent, so attacking Gibson, defending Jeremy Lin, this kind of counterpoint substitution is also common in NBA games.
But the problem was that at that time, the Beijing Shougang team was equivalent to playing a conversion attack after the steal, and the opponent was likely to be flustered after the mistake, at this time Yannis should not call a timeout, but should let Jeremy Lin directly attack. As a result, his suspension gave his opponent the opportunity to stabilize his mind.
In addition, if the Beijing Shougang team was 3 points behind at that time, then Gibson grabbed a 3-point shot, I believe everyone can understand. But the problem is that at that time, the Beijing Shougang team and the opponent were equally divided, and considering the internal strength of the Jilin team, in this case, it is obviously safer to play a 2-pointer.
Gibson's 3-point long-range shooting ability is indeed stronger than Jeremy Lin's, but in terms of breakthrough kills or points, he is not as good as Jeremy Lin. So even from an offensive point of view, in fact, Jeremy Lin should not have been replaced at that time, wasting a valuable suspension opportunity. What's more, if Jeremy Lin is present, even if he can't attack, he can still retreat to defend a wave, and if he can drag into the extra time, the Beijing Shougang team, which has more manpower, will also have an advantage.
Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine to eat under the sky, and Yannis's fatal mistake directly led to the tragic killing of the Beijing Shougang team. After this game, he must also reflect and sum up, otherwise, beijing Shougang team will be saddled with huge psychological pressure on the ball, and if his platoon arrangement is wrong again, it will be really dangerous.
