In a fierce basketball game last night, Xinjiang successfully counterattacked Shanghai on the road, which was also their third consecutive victory. The victory catapulted them into the top four in the standings. Although Xinjiang have won four of their five games this season, most of the opponents they face are not top teams, so they will need to continue to work hard to improve.
In last night's game, although the Xinjiang team won, their overall performance was not outstanding. Their scoring, shooting percentage, and free throw percentage are all lower than their opponents. Shanghai made too many mistakes in the game, especially in the third quarter, which also created opportunities for Xinjiang.
But there were some bright spots for the Xinjiang team, especially Jones, who scored 40 points, 15 rebounds and eight assists in the game, becoming the Xinjiang team's leading scorer.
However, Xinjiang's starting point guard Yu Dehao's performance was disappointing. He scored just 2 points in the game and had 3 turnovers. His free-throw shooting percentage was also a concern, missing all five of his free throws in the game. This has also caused discontent among fans, who have questioned Yu Dehao's ability and how he became a player for the national team.
Yu Dehao's performance in the CBA has been controversial. His three-point shooting percentage and free-throw percentage were below average, which also raised questions about his shooting skills. However, we can't deny that Yu Dehao's performance on the defensive end is still relatively good. His speed and power are his strengths, which is why he was able to establish himself in the CBA.
Basketball is a team sport, and each player has their own strengths and weaknesses. Although Yu Dehao is lacking on the offensive end, his contribution on the defensive end is indispensable. We can't dismiss a player just because he is lacking in one area. Every player needs time and an opportunity to prove themselves.
Xinjiang have been satisfactory this season, but they still need to work hard, especially against strong teams. They need to be more united, play to each player's strengths and make up for their weaknesses in order to achieve better results in the next games. And Yu Dehao also needs to continue to work hard, improve his skills and mentality, and prove that he is an indispensable member of the Xinjiang team.
The outstanding performance of the Xinjiang team this season has undoubtedly won them the applause of many fans. But the success behind it is not accidental, but due to the tacit cooperation of the team, the tactical arrangement of the coach and the unremitting efforts of the players. In this, every link plays a vital role.
First of all, the tactical arrangement of the coaching team locked the key to victory for the Xinjiang team. When facing different opponents, the coaching team is able to formulate appropriate tactical strategies according to the characteristics of the opponent. This is not only a test of the coach's tactical vision, but also a test of their knowledge and trust in the players. Only by having a deep understanding of each player's characteristics can we better play to their strengths and make up for their weaknesses.
Secondly, the hard work of the players is also the key to a good result. In the game, every player gives it their all and doesn't pass up a single opportunity. This kind of perseverance allows the Xinjiang team to always counterattack the opponent and win at critical moments. And this spirit comes from the usual training. You can only get good results in the competition if you put in 100 per cent effort in training.
However, success always comes with pressure. The outstanding performance of the Xinjiang team also made them the prey of many opponents. In every game, there are opponents who want to beat them and prove their strength. This also means that the Xinjiang team must not relax in the slightest and must always maintain the best competitive condition.
In addition, the success of the Xinjiang team this season also brings them a greater challenge for the next season. As the defending champions, they will be a target for numerous opponents. How to maintain competitive condition and how to face more pressure will be the problems that the Xinjiang team will need to face next season.
Overall, the success of the Xinjiang team this season is the result of team effort. But success is just the beginning, they still need to continue to work hard and face greater challenges in order to write more glory on the basketball court.
