The second round of the CBA 2021-22 playoffs Shanghai men's basketball team against the Shenzhen men's basketball team can be described as a twist and turn. In the first half, the Shenzhen team was smooth sailing, the offensive and defensive ends suppressed Shanghai, the fast-paced game completely occupied the upper hand, the second quarter was left 2 minutes and 36 seconds Booker hit a layup, the lead was stretched to 16 points; but in the second half of the battle, Shenzhen seemed to suddenly lose its vitality, especially the defensive end was full of loopholes, wang Zhelin gave what he wanted, a burst of overturning, the situation was also reversed. In the end, even if Bai Haotian hit a three-pointer before the final game, he only made the point difference look better and was powerless to return to the sky. In the first round of the two-team series, Shenzhen lost by two points.
Why is there such a big contrast in Shenzhen in the first and second half? Here we have to mention a clip of the team's main player, Shen Zijie, who won the best defensive player of the season: during the suspension of the second quarter, big bird and his teammate He Xining, who performed exceptionally well in this campaign, had some disputes over the choice of the game, and the words in the communication became more and more fierce, and finally rose to the level of "national scolding" and "greeting family". This also made He Xining, who had previously discussed the game, stunned, and returned to the locker room early after dropping a sentence of "how do you curse people".
To be fair, He Xining's direct return to the locker room is already the most professional and protective team practice, and if he returns his mouth on the spot, or even rises to the level of physical conflict, it is a situation that is difficult to get over. But the damage of this scene to the Shenzhen team is also obvious, and this scolding and retreat will completely dissipate the cohesion of the team. Shen Zijie, who was still immersed in a state of rage, even used body language on the field to express his dissatisfaction to his teammates many times.
Instead of motivating his teammates, he was not focused enough, and he repeatedly made low-level mistakes on the defensive end. A shot can best illustrate the problem: the king who takes the ball at a forty-five-degree angle on the left outside the three-point line is a simple temptation to make up for three threats, does not know what the big bird is thinking, and subconsciously goes to make up for the opponent on the right side, and the wang Zhelin leaks out, the king is also unceremonious, directly starting to burst into the inside line and laugh at two points. There are many more such camera competitions, and for Shen Zijie, the owner of the DPOY title, it is simply a big loss.
This is not the first time that Shen Zijie has lost control of his emotions and said harsh words to the team's personnel, and the coach of the team's meritorious coach Wang Jianjun could not stop the big bird, and even in the last season of the team, he was pointed at the nose and scolded by the big bird. Nowadays, Qiu Biao's coach as a rookie coach is helpless against such a situation, but the weakness of the head coach has encouraged the arrogance of the big bird team and laid the groundwork for the loss of this game. Such a situation has come a few times, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the Shenzhen team to make progress, and even the stability of the dressing room will become a luxury.
After the game, Shen Zijie, who was on the cusp of public opinion, said in an interview: I have been very calm on the field, my teammates have indeed had problems, I corrected him in time on the field, this is my position in the team, what I need to do on the field, I did not deliberately embarrass him. From the outside, we may think that we are infighting or something, in fact, we are just pointing out the problem, it may be a little excessive, emotional, but in fact, nothing, playing is normal. "In the second half, everyone didn't play normally, it wasn't a big deal, it was just that they didn't grasp the key ball and missed the chance to win."
It turns out that the big bird has forgiven He Xining, the original scolding teammate is to find and correct the problem of the teammate in time, the big bird can grow a snack, you are no longer a little young, but also to take on more responsibilities and play the age of leader. If you know what you are wrong, you will change it, and you will be good at it. Of course, competitive sports still have to speak with strength, instead of using their mouths to solve the problem, it is better to look at the second battle of this series, whether Shenzhen can still play the offensive performance of the first half, and whether they can come up with the defensive level of the regular season when facing the attack of the Shanghai team. Shanghai or Shenzhen, who are you more optimistic about?
