Coach Yang Ming

The mood is even more exciting than the last time I won the championship

On April 22, 2018, Yang Ming, as the captain of the Liaoning men's basketball team, lifted the CBA championship trophy for the first time. Four years later, on April 26, 2022, Yang Ming once again held aloft this heavy trophy, and at this time he had already changed his identity and became the helmsman of the team, a successful head coach.

"I was very excited because the characters were different. The last four years were players, this time as a coach, but the joy was equal, and even more exciting than that one, because there was less involvement that time. This time as a coach, I really participated in the whole league, and it was not easy for everyone. I feel satisfied to receive such a reward. On this night of winning the championship, Yang Ming said.

In evaluating this finals, Yang Ming said: "The whole series of Guangsha lacks two players, so the strength has an impact on them, but I want to say that this championship is really deserved." Because in terms of the trend of the whole season, the performance of the players, the adjustment of the state, I still firmly believe that we are the best. ”

Indeed, it seems that the injuries suffered by the Guangsha players have shown a significant gap in the strength of the two sides, but this is not to ignore the hardships and sweat that Liaoning players have also paid in this season, even in the past four years.

"It's gratifying that all the players have improved throughout the season, because of their hard training, their overcoming of injuries, their dedication to the team including the spirit of unity, which is what we are today. I salute the players for their performance this season and congratulate them on winning the championship. Yang Ming said. Liaoshen Evening News reporter Gao Peng

Veteran Han Dejun + Li Xiaoxu

The persistence of the veteran is a valuable asset for the team

When No. 55 Han Dejun and No. 22 Li Xiaoxu stood shoulder to shoulder on the podium and gazed at the second championship trophy of their careers with emotion, many people suddenly remembered what kind of major injuries these two veterans had experienced in the past four years, but they could return to the field with amazing perseverance.

In the 2018-2019 season, when Liao Basket was trying to accumulate momentum for his defensive journey with an unstoppable winning streak, Han Dejun's metacarpal bone was accidentally fractured, resulting in early reimbursement of the season. This directly affected the final results of that season, and the team stopped in the semi-finals with the lack of pillars on the inside line, failing to achieve the expected dream of building a dynasty with the momentum of winning the championship.

But what many people did not expect was that in the next four years, Liao basket encountered many ups and downs and tribulations. When they were eager to re-attack the championship in the next 2019-2020 season, they experienced the storm of coaching, and Li Xiaoxu's Achilles tendon injury bid farewell to the season early, and even this time the major injury made Li Xiaoxu directly miss the subsequent 2020-2021 season.

As the two oldest players in the team, Han Dejun and Li Xiaoxu have suffered serious injuries in the past four years, which has made their physical condition that is no longer young, and the competitive state in the game has inevitably declined.

But this season, when the two veterans once again joined forces to support the team's inner line, what moved the fans was that they still fought and paid without regret on the field. What is particularly valuable is that the two veterans shoulder more of the dirty work in the defense, relying on their own experience to consume the opponent's main lineup, so as to help the young interior players of the Liaoning Basket save their physical strength in order to play a better role in the attack.

The uncomplaining and unrepentant dedication and sacrifice are the most beautiful qualities of the two veterans, and their persistence is the most valuable wealth left to Liao basket. Liaoshen Evening News reporter Gao Peng

Reinforcements

Fergus + Morland The best fit is the best

From the last time they won the championship in 2018 to 2022, when they won the championship again, In the past four years, Liaoning Basket has indeed taken some detours in the process of finding foreign aid, but fortunately they have finally found the most suitable combination for themselves.

Since the 2018-2019 liaoning basketball championship loss, the team has bid farewell to the former meritorious foreign aid Hudson and began to seek to reorganize the foreign aid lineup. Stephenson, who came with a super fame, once surprised all the fans, and also saw the club's investment and boldness in foreign aid.

But unfortunately, because of personality and other reasons, although Stephenson showed a strong strength beyond many foreign aides, he has never been able to integrate with the Liaoning basketball team, resulting in his strength is difficult to fully play out. Of course, there are also reasons why the 2020-2021 season was stopped in the middle of the epidemic, and Stephenson did not wait until he fully ran into the Liaoning basket, but in general, the experience of this big-name foreign aid in the CBA is not a success.

In terms of Liaoning Basketball, after saying goodbye to The Champion Bass and the champion foreign aid, it had to enter the stage of completely reorganizing the foreign aid lineup. However, due to the constraints of the external environment, coupled with the adjustment of the CBA's foreign aid policy, their attempt in the 2020-2021 season is not too successful.

The arrival of Mayo and Fogg did fill the team's outside line to a large extent, but it still could not solve the fact that the team was relatively weak in the front line, Simmons's brief arrival did not come up with anything to impress the fans, and the big foreign aid Taylor became a helpless choice, but in the end there was no chance to play in the finals.

After all this, Liaoning basket finally locked in a new big foreign aid Morland and the remaining Ferge to form a new partner this season. What both have in common is that they can make a great contribution on the defensive end, and the defensive attitude is very good. This choice is different from most teams in the CBA. Because in the CBA, the most important significance of foreign aid is to be able to help the team score.

But through this playoff, the role played by the two players on the defensive end was particularly obvious, and it naturally led to the performance in the attack. It can be said that the foreign aid combination chosen by Liaoning Basket this time may not be the strongest in the CBA field at present, but it is definitely the most suitable for Liaoning Basketball.

Perhaps, as the old saying goes, what works best for you is actually the best, and Fergus and Morland have proven it. Liaoshen Evening News reporter Gao Peng

future

Liao Basket Celebrity Li Xiaoyong I saw the future of Liaoning Basket in Zhang Zhenlin and Fu Hao

After four years, Liaoning basket once again defeated Guangsha to win the CBA championship. It is a surprising coincidence in history that the first championship of Liaoning Basket four years ago was also defeated by a score of 4:0. At that time, it was Li Xiaoyong, the famous star of the Liaoning men's basketball team, who commanded the Guangsha team in the final battle.

After four years, seeing that The Liaoning Basket once again lifted the championship trophy, as a member of the former Liaoning Basket, Li Xiaoyong was also sincerely happy for this group of players.

Li Xiaoyong believes that from this series, it can be seen that there is indeed a gap in strength between the Zhejiang Guangsha team and the Liaoning men's basketball team due to injury. But what makes him feel relieved is that the Liaoning men's basketball team has not developed a light hostility because of this, "Now I am pleased that this team has shown maturity." From the team's passing ball in the opening stages of the last few games, it can be seen that the players are enjoying the finals. The Liaoning men's basketball team can maintain such a mentality, and the opponent will not have a chance. ”

What makes Li Xiaoyong care most is the pair of young people Zhang Zhenlin and Fu Hao in the Liaoning basket lineup. Both players, who only joined Liaoning Basket last season, have been with the team for a short time, but they have brought the most valuable thing to the team, that is, the vitality and intensity of the front.

During the finals and even the playoffs, Zhang Zhenlin and Fu Hao have brilliant performances at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, such as Zhang Zhenlin sacrificing his own attack in the semifinals to stare at Weems, successfully locking up this super foreign aid that once made the entire league helpless; and Fu Hao has always maintained his efficiency in the inside attack, and he can open the situation from outside the three-point line when the team needs it.

It can be said that the once most worrying Liaoning basketball front, because the arrival of this pair of young people, completely turned the situation around, but became the dominant point in the Liaoning basketball lineup. Of course, for the two players, they are still very young and there is still a lot of room for growth in the future, but at least they have a very high starting point and got the first championship ring in their lives through their own efforts.

As the predecessor of Liao Basket, Li Xiaoyong is also very happy to see the emergence of such outstanding young people. "In fact, whether it is Zhang Zhenlin or Fu Hao, the experience of this finals is very valuable on their growth path, and in them, I see the future of the Liaoning men's basketball team."
