In the Shanghai men's basketball team's 93-108 defeat to the Guangsha men's basketball team, Wang Zhelin did not play well, only 15 points and 4 rebounds, and due to the personal foul crisis and the performance in the team did not meet expectations, the key moment was also once abandoned by Li Chunjiang.
Shanghai men's basketball team in the playoffs 1/4 final against the Shenzhen men's basketball team series, Wang Zhelin showed a very tough competitive temperament, in the first quarter of the game by Hu Jinqiu and Okafor under the basket confrontation, the offensive end did not play too much, only a mid-range attack in the opening stage, in the subsequent attack with Okafor did not occupy the advantage, and repeated strong shots failed to end, only 3 shots in a single quarter of the game, and at the same time the performance of the team's starting foreign aid Franklin was not ideal, Li Chunjiang entered the rotation lineup in advance. After the opening of the second quarter, there was a hand-handed pass error, which was also a manifestation of poor concentration on the game and a manifestation of excessive tension in the game.
As the game progressed, Wang Zhelin changed his personal tactical playing style, from the situation that the inside line could not take advantage of the situation, to the high blocking and dismantling cooperation with Franklin, taking advantage of the loophole of Okafor's poor defensive selection under the basket, completing the end of the basket and a mid-range shot twice in a row, which was also Wang Zhelin's timely targeted adjustment to the offensive rhythm of the game, and Wang Zhelin in the half game experienced first suppressed and then rose, and got 8 points and 1 rebound.
After entering the second half of the game, although Wang Zhelin also faced Okafor's strong attack under the basket, his overall offensive efficiency was not ideal, and the number of fouls continued to accumulate, and he had his fifth foul just at the beginning of the fourth quarter and was forced to rest. In the final moments of the fourth quarter, Li Chunjiang chose to replace Wang Zhelin in order to increase the outside three-point projection, and finally Wang Zhelin's personal data was fixed in the 30 minutes of the game, 7 of 13 shots, 15 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, and the personal plus-minus was -15.
Wang Zhelin, as the top CBA insider, after transferring to the Shanghai men's basketball team this season, averaged 17.8 points, 8.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 0.8 steals per game, and performed very well in the first round of the playoffs against the Shenzhen men's basketball team. However, in the first round against the basketball twin towers with the ability of Okafor and Hu Jinqiu to move quickly, it is obviously not adaptable, in the event of the five-game three-win system, the Shanghai men's basketball team still has a certain room for adjustment, and Wang Zhelin's play will be very critical, and it is also expected to have an excellent performance in the next two-game match against the Guangsha men's basketball team.
