The series score was 2-0, the Jilin men's basketball team completed the following grams, eliminated the Shougang men's basketball team and successfully entered the quarterfinals of the playoffs! Shougang, which has 4 foreign aides and a number of national players, faced an opponent who won two games in the regular season with a big score, and actually lost in this way, which really made many fans not think.
Zhu Yanxi, who was once known as one of the "Shougang Twins", undoubtedly became one of the worst performers in this series, with only 3 points and 4 rebounds in the first game on 7-of-14 shooting in the first game, and 5 points and 4 rebounds on 24-minute 10-of-10 shooting in the second game.
As a pitcher, Zhu Yanxi only shot 2-of-16 from outside the three-point line in two games, shooting only 12.5 percent, but if Zhu Yanxi can be accurate, the result of the game may not be like this. Zhu Yanxi, who is 32 years old this year, has long been in a state that is not as good as before, especially on the defensive end, slow movement speed and defensive ability, has become the opponent's key "target" object, as long as when playing Beijing, Zhu Yanxi plays, then the opponent will definitely seize his weakest defensive point to attack, which is why Zhu Yanxi fell from the starting to the bench this season, and the main reason why the playing time has also decreased.
What can support Zhu Yanxi in the Shougang team can also get some rotation time may be his one-handed three-point shooting ability, as a space type four position can be on the field to pull the space. In the regular season, Zhu Yanxi's outside projection is still relatively good, averaging 2.1 three-pointers per game with a 44% shooting rate, but when facing high-intensity defense in the playoffs, his shots on the outside have also been greatly affected, resulting in a serious decline in his shooting rate. But Zhu Yanxi, who was originally a "loophole" on the defensive end, also became ineffective on the offensive end, and perhaps Shougang should also consider whether to continue to use him.
With this time eliminated by Jilin, Shougang team has been two consecutive seasons have missed the final four, which is certainly unacceptable to them who have spent a lot of money to strengthen, perhaps in the offseason this year, Shougang team will also make major adjustments to the lineup, if once implemented, Zhu Yanxi, who is in such a declining state, is likely to become the first player to leave Shougang! Perhaps the Shougang team can start to cultivate 20-year-old Fan Yiming, seeing him as the hope of the future in the team's fourth position, and let him replace Zhu Yanxi.
