In the first stage of the CBA, the Shanghai team led by Li Chunjiang can be said to have fallen into the quagmire, and the Shanghai team once suffered five consecutive defeats, and the result fell to the fourth lowest place in the standings. It is worth mentioning that 5 consecutive losses are also the most painful experience in the coaching career of CBA seven-crown coach Li Chunjiang! Think of last season, under the leadership of Li Chunjiang, the Shanghai team can be said to be full of spirit, and made it all the way to the final four in the playoffs, creating the team's best result in more than 10 years.
As the Shanghai team continues to lose, head coach Li Chunjiang has also received a lot of doubts, some fans said that Li Chunjiang is already "Jiang Lang talented", he is no longer suitable for the Shanghai team, should be out of class quickly. It can be said that Li Chunjiang's voice after class is constant. However, the poor results of the Shanghai team are really the problem of head coach Li Chunjiang? In fact, it is not, because the team's two major foreign assistants Beasley and Franklin are very poor, because the CBA league adopts the conference system, Beasley seems very uncomfortable, his bohemian situation is infinite, in some games, we can see that Beasley just does not contribute, and in the end, Beasley and Shanghai are parted ways.
Little foreign aid Franklin, when he was in the Shanxi team, can be said to play well, once averaged triple-double data per game, and was considered the CBA's top foreign aid. However, in Shanghai, Franklin became like a "classic car", whether it was on the offensive end or on the defensive end, he lost his former charm. It has to be said that Beasley and Franklin have become a cancer in the Shanghai team and a key factor in the team's continuous losses. After the first stage of the game, the Shanghai team also had to send Franklin away. (Since Franklin was injured by Beijing team champion Mr. Wang, he has never returned to his previous form, as if he suddenly lost his strength!) ）
Taking advantage of the CBA offseason, the Shanghai team also actively signed two new foreign aides, Bledsoe and O'Briente, with the addition of two new foreign aides, the Shanghai team has also gained new vitality, especially the arrival of Bledsoe, so that the Shanghai team has one more key Mr. on the offensive end. After the CBA regular season entered the second stage, domestic players Liu Zheng, Yan Pengfei and Li Tianrong also began to recover and found their former style. In the last 16 games, Shanghai has achieved 14 wins and 2 losses, with a win rate of 87.5%, making it one of the best teams in the CBA in recent times.
So far, the Shanghai team has risen to fifth place in the CBA standings with a record of 15 wins and 8 losses, which fully shows that the Shanghai team is on the right track. As the Shanghai team's results became better and better, Li Chunjiang's voice of leaving class gradually disappeared. From the performance of the Shanghai team, on the one hand, it shows that the foreign aid of the CBA team is very important, if a team does not have a good foreign aid, then, no matter which team you are, it will become difficult to win. On the other hand, it also shows that Li Chunjiang's coaching level is still the top existence in the CBA, and his integration of the team and his ability to adjust the team are still very outstanding.
Of course, the Shanghai team is not satisfied with the top five, their ultimate goal is to impact the CBA championship, according to the well-known domestic commentator Xu Yong, in the third phase of the CBA, the Shanghai team will sign a former NBA interior player to continue to supplement the team's interior strength. In fact, the Shanghai team's introduction is also very necessary, because the strength of the big foreign aid O'Briant is very average, especially his offensive ability is very watery, so far, his shooting rate is only 45%, as an inside player, the shooting rate is only 45%, obviously unqualified.
If the Shanghai team signs another center with good strength, then he and Wang Zhelin league will make the Shanghai team's internal strength reach the top existence of the CBA. In addition, with two powerful foreign aides in the backcourt, Bledsoe and Trimble, then the Shanghai team will not lose to the championship teams such as Liaoning, Zhejiang and Guangdong in terms of overall strength, and the probability of impacting the CBA championship is greatly improved.
Dear officials, are you optimistic that the Shanghai team will win the CBA championship?
