On April 22, 2022, Beijing time, the second game of the CBA Finals officially started, and Guangsha head coach Wang Bo also changed his lineup in this game, which brought great discomfort to the Liaoning team, and the young player allowed 11 points to score even to help Guangsha establish a score advantage. However, the Liaoning team is the Liaoning team after all, after they calm down and find a way to deal with it, the Guangsha team's hard-won score advantage is slowly forced closer, and the Liaoning men's basketball team is relying on the play of the second and third quarters, instantly pulling the score apart, and finally 99-90 to the next city, the series score has come to a 2-0 lead!
The Guangsha team came up to license such a strange soldier, and achieved good results, Liaoning coach Yang Ming is not willing to show weakness, sent rookie Zhou Juncheng, who also used the 10 minutes of appearances, 5 points and 1 rebound to return the trust of the head coach. Zhou Juncheng was reused by Yang Ming after entering the finals, and after two games, he got a total of 10 points and 3 rebounds, shooting 66.7%, and the three-point shooting rate came to 100%, and the two shots averaged three points, as if he had become the main candidate for the team's third guard.
Zhou Juncheng was born in 1999, with a height of 1 meter 92 and an arm span of 1 meter 97, just from the perspective of this physical condition and physical talent, Zhou Juncheng is definitely much better than the Yan HandQi who is only 1 meter 89 meters tall and has an arm span of 1 meter 86. Rookie players generally have the main task of playing in the first few seasons of their careers to fight defense, and Zhou Juncheng, who has the opportunity, not only completed his defensive task, but also gained something on the offensive end, and also got 10 points and 3 rebounds on the stage of the finals, indicating that this young player is still very worth cultivating.
Seeing the current Zhou Juncheng, it is reminiscent of the original Gao Shiyan, Gao Shiyan did not play particularly well when he first arrived in Liaoning, and his performance in the first two seasons of his career was even worse than Zhou Juncheng, and his growth was that after being loaned to Jilin in the 2017-18 season, Gao Shiyan was able to get 9.8 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game. Around Guo Allen and Zhao Jiwei, the team's third guard does not need him to score many points, even Gao Shiyan averaged only 6.8 points per game in the best season of the Liaoning men's basketball team, more on the defensive end to contribute, and to win some rest time for Guo Allen and Zhao Jiwei. Obviously, Zhou Juncheng can fully undertake this task now, if Yang Ming cultivates him, the future may not be worse than Gao Shiyan. Perhaps with the existence of Zhou Juncheng in the team, the Liaoning men's basketball team will most likely not change back to Gao Shiyan, and may continue to loan him in exchange for the players they need more.
