Gao Shiyan is a hero of the Liao Basket!
I don't know if anyone agrees with this view, whether it is a coincidence or a deep calculation, but the fact is that Gao Shiyan's departure from the team directly "helps" Liao Basket win the championship.
Xiao Gao is a defender cultivated by Liaoning Basket, all the way from the youth training team, in this strong team that specializes in cultivating defenders, it is indeed very rare that Gao Shiyan can stand out from many young players, but at the same time, it is precisely because of the strong strength of Liaoning Basket defenders that Gao Shiyan has been loaned many times, and then in exchange for players who are favorable to the team lineup.
In fact, from the current point of view, after several years of precipitation and growth, Gao Shiyan's strength as a defender has been very close to the top level of the league, although the scoring ability is slightly weaker, but his defense and pass control of the one-step league, to be honest, in my opinion, if Gao Shiyan is used to replace Zhao Jiwei, the Liaoning basket guard line may not necessarily collapse.
Eight or nine years ago, Gao Shiyan played as a substitute for Zhao Jiwei in the Liaoqing team, and later in the First Team of Liaoning Basket and even the third and fourth rounds, although he was promoted to the first team a year earlier than Zhao Jiwei, but Zhao Jiwei was valued by Gong Luming in 2015 and returned from playing the national team game, Zhao Jiwei also really decided the fate of Gao Shiyan when he really became a regular squad rotation substitute.
Sports games are so cruel, you don't always complain that others are too powerful, it is impossible for everyone to have a share in the case of more monks and less meat, not to mention, when Gao Shiyan entered the first team, in fact, he also eliminated more young defenders of the same age in the Liaoqing team.
Of course, Gao Shiyan can't complain about his teammates, as we can see, they have a good relationship, they are opponents but they have been competing benignly, which is why Gao Shiyan can now become a thunderous and popular defender in the league.
He turned all the doubts into a driving force for progress.
In July 2017, Gao Shiyan and Zhong Cheng came to Jilin interchangeably, and he improved from averaging 0.8 points and 0.4 assists per game in Liaoning to 9.8 points, 3.7 assists (ranking 8th locally) and 1.9 steals (ranking 3rd locally) in Jilin Period, and it turned out that Gao Shiyan did have the ability to be a good defender, and leaving Liaoning was a win-win choice.
In the following season, Zhong Cheng helped Liao Basket win the first CBA championship trophy, which was Gao Shiyan's first regret.
In 2018-2020, Gao Shiyan returned to Liao Basket with his outstanding performance, but after the failure of Liao Basket to rush the championship in 2020, he was once again put on the "shelf" of the transaction, and Liao Basket exchanged him for Shandong's big man Zhu Rongzhen, when Shandong lacked a defender, and Liao Basket needed to find a helper for Dahan.
The second time on loan, Gao Shiyan finally played the best performance of his career, and it is precisely because of the two years of growth in Shandong that Gao Shiyan was able to rank among the league's high-quality defenders, facing his old club for the first time in the 2020-21 season, Gao Shiyan hit a shocking 3-point kill in the last moment, and also got 10 steals in a game against Jiangsu.
In addition, he won two triple-doubles that season, and it is very rare for a Chinese local player to get a triple-double, but Gao Shiyan actually did it twice in one season, and at the end of the season, Gao Shiyan's statistics were 12.4 points, 7.1 assists (league 7th) and 2.8 steals (second in the league, second only to Zhao Jiwei's 2.9).
Shandong also eliminated Guangzhou and Xinjiang in the playoffs with the help of Gao Shiyan, and successfully reached the top four of the league! There is no doubt that Gao Shiyan has played a huge role in the team.
In the summer of 2020, Gao Shiyan was also selected into the national three-person basketball team, he once dreamed of wearing a national team uniform like Zhao Jiwei and Wu Qian, this time he achieved it, he relied on the platform of Shandong team to achieve. Although he did not enter the national team five-person basketball, the selection of the three-man basketball also proved his strength, which is the best affirmation for him.
This season, the Shandong coaching staff changed blood, the team was turbulent, the record plummeted, even though Gao Shiyan's performance still exploded - 12.2 points, 7.8 assists (league 5th) 2 steals (league 5th), but Shandong's rout was comprehensive, about starting from the coaching staff.
FMVP Hudson can't turn the situation around, and Gao Shiyan is even more unlikely! Shandong eventually barely made it to the playoffs and was swept away by Shenzhen in Nanchang City.
It was also this season that the Liaoning team won the second championship in team history, and the podium "replaced" him and the Liaoning basketball players to celebrate with a happy Zhu Rongzhen, which was Gao Shiyan's second regret.
Every time he left, Liaoning Basket won the championship, saying that "who is not embarrassed when winning, who is embarrassed when losing", for Gao Shiyan, a Liaoning man, it is undoubtedly both embarrassing and helpless. So this time, will he come back after the two-year loan period expires?
If there is no change in the championship-winning lineup of Liaoning Basket, perhaps Gao Shiyan has the opportunity to replace veteran Liu Zhixuan as an important rotational substitute for the team, but the fact is that Liaoning Basket's talented striker Zhang Zhenlin will leave.
The authenticity of this message should not be doubted. On the one hand, basketball commentator Yang Yi revealed in a live broadcast that Zhang Zhenlin was going to play in the NBA-G League in the United States to win the opportunity to enter the NBA, and the team basically knew about it, Yang Yi also used a more interesting saying "he applied to his mother to go to the United States", on the other hand, Dahan introduced Zhang Zhenlin in a connection with Gao Shiyan and said, "Let's take a look at it, see it once less."
Zhang Zhenlin's role is unquestionable, he is a very reliable tackler in the team's front line, in the past his lack of experience in defense flew and shook, but this season his growth is very obvious, Zhou Peng, Weems many times failed to succeed. Zhang Zhenlin's change is not only the defensive end, the technical polishing on the offensive end can be said to be a leap forward, his ball-holding shooting is very threatening, and the projection of the outside line ranks first in the playoffs.
In the third match against Guangdong in the semifinals, Zhang Zhenlin personally scored eight three-pointers, especially in overtime, hitting two consecutive key three-pointers. People even call Zhang Zhenlin "anti-Cantonese hero", or "Zhang Zhenyue", which is very interesting.
Without him, Liaoning Basket will inevitably have to find a player who can play a role in the front, there is still Cong Mingchen in the third position, but his characteristics are inferior in projection, rebounding and defense, and although Wu Changze can also play the No. 3 position in tandem, his ability I think everyone can see.
Therefore, Liaoning Basket will inevitably look for a No. 3 player in the offseason, which is an indisputable fact, then Gao Shiyan is very likely to become a trading chip and be placed on the "shelf", he is the most valuable transaction, and has great temptation for other teams.
We are not sure where Gao Shiyan will go in the future, there may also be a third regret, but no matter what, I hope he can live happily, some people's fate itself is turbulent and displaced, you must not force, only accept the reality, and enjoy the process, in this process of struggle, I think there will always be a day of willow dark flowers, I also believe that the eyes of fans are bright.
The evaluation of a person should be multi-faceted, not only the victory or defeat of the game, but also the quality of mental fighting spirit, the quality of artificial cultivation, etc., a person who plays generally but has infinite personality charm, when he conquers the vast majority of fans, this honor is better than a champion!
Finally, we should remember that even though Liaoning's two-time champion Gao Shiyan did not fight alongside the Liaoning basketball players, he should be credited with the credit.
