In the absence of foreign aid, Fang Shuo and Chang Lin were injured, and Beijing Shougang actually achieved a record of 3 wins and 1 loss, ranking sixth. Beijing Shougang has been criticized for the defensive line, but did not expect that now the defensive line has become an advantage, Liu Xiaoyu and Tian Yuxiang, two old national players returned to the peak, self-redemption, thanks to Fang Shuo.
Liu Xiaoyu in shougang in the previous few seasons is about to fall out of the rotation, last season began to slowly improve, the performance of the new season is even more eye-catching, averaging 27.3 minutes per game, can get 14.3 points, 3.8 rebounds and 6 assists, shooting 54% from the field, three-point shooting rate as high as 45.5%. Even at the peak, Liu Xiaoyu did not play such a beautiful data and efficient hit rate, no wonder Yannis said that Liu Xiaoyu is like red wine, the more delicious the more you taste!
Tian Yuxiang came to Beijing Shougang from the Bayi team in the second half of last season, but was abandoned by Yannis, and he himself was also very distressed. In the new season, Tian Yuxiang waited for the opportunity, averaging 25.5 minutes per game, can get 7.3 points, 1.8 rebounds and 6 assists, and there are 2.3 steals on the defensive end, and the three-point shooting rate has reached 40%! For Tian Yuxiang, Yannis also took the initiative to apologize, admitting that he was not given much time last season.
Liu Xiaoyu and Tian Yuxiang, who have been selected for the national team and played many international competitions, came to Beijing Shougang at the end of their careers and did not perform well! Especially Liu Xiaoyu, the contract is very large, many fans say that Liu Xiaoyu is to Shougang to retire, there are many doubts. This season, Liu Xiaoyu and Tian Yuxiang finally proved themselves and completed their self-redemption! If it were not for Fang Shuo's injury, Liu Xiaoyu and Tian Yuxiang would not have had so much playing time, thanks to Fang Shuo.
In fact, not only Liu Xiaoyu and Tian Yuxiang play well, so do others, Fan Ziming averaged 18 points and 7.3 rebounds per game to become the shougang scoring king, Zhai Xiaochuan, Raymond, Li Muhao, Zhu Yanxi, Wang Xiaohui all found their own positioning, and even Zhang Cairen could pass the ball like a defender. In fact, this is related to Fang Shuo's way of playing, Fang Shuo needs the ball too much, the ball is in his hands, everyone else is around him, Fang Shuo's efficiency is very low, last season to play 35 minutes per game, get 13.9 points, shooting only 37%, three-point shooting rate is only 31%, and the average per game is as high as 3.3 mistakes. As the only top-paid player in the team, when Fang Shuo returns, Yannis may have to change his playing style.
