103-88, the Xinjiang men's basketball team defeated Beijing Shougang, won seven consecutive victories, and continued to rank first in the league with a score of 15 wins and 3 losses. After a major upgrade of the lineup in the offseason, the Xinjiang men's basketball team has completely completed its transformation, rising from a playoff team to a championship favorite, and the addition of strong reinforcements such as Jones, Wu Guanxi, Telles, and Zhao Rui has strengthened the shortcomings of the Xinjiang men's basketball team and allowed the team to return to the ranks of championship teams.
Up to now, the Xinjiang men's basketball team ranks first in the league with 50.3 rebounds per game, third in the league with 9.6 steals per game, and first in the league in defensive efficiency, allowing opponents to score only 101.8 points per 100 rounds. In addition to the strong reinforcements that have greatly increased the strength of the Xinjiang men's basketball team, the rise of local stars in the Xinjiang men's basketball team is also the key to the success of the Xinjiang men's basketball team.
Abdul Salamu dreams of returning to the top
In the last game against Beijing Shougang, Abdul Salamu played 39 minutes, 12 of 15 in the game, including 2 of 4 three-pointers, 28 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal, and outscored the opponent by 19 points, the highest on the team. Judging from the performance on the court, Abdul Salamu has become the glue of the offensive end of the Xinjiang men's basketball team, and it is easier for him to play his role and value when cooperating with Jones, Wu Guanxi and others on the court. On the offensive end, Abdul Salamu has an open cut under the basket that runs without the ball, a strong interior with the ball, and a stable mid-to-long-range shot, and he is slowly regaining his peak form.
Defensively, Abdul Salamu is very strong in his defensive ability, able to block the opponent's backcourt players, and can also withstand the impact of the opponent's interior line, and he can often appear in various defensive positions to make up for holes. Even after suffering a major injury in his career, Abdul Salamu has been able to slowly return to the top by adjusting his playing style, and he is slowly proving it with his actual actions.
In addition to the highlight performance against Beijing Shougang, Abdusalam got 21 points, 9 rebounds and 3 blocks in the game against Guangdong Hongyuan, 27 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists in the opening game against the Jiangsu men's basketball team, and 26 points, 19 rebounds and 6 assists in the game against the Shenzhen men's basketball team.
Abdul Salamu has the quality to return to the national team
Judging from the average data per game, Abdul Salamu is also at the level of the league's top forwards, averaging 18.8 points, 11.3 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 0.9 blocks per game, and many statistics have ushered in new highs.
Abdul Salamu, who has returned to his peak form, is already eligible to return to the national team. Judging from the performance of the Chinese men's basketball team this summer, the No. 4 position is in urgent need of reinforcement, Djordjevic's tactical system is very lacking in the glue of Abdul Salamu who can connect each position at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and he can incarnate Li Kaier's stand-in on the court to help the Chinese men's basketball team provide more options in terms of tactical system. I hope that the Chinese men's basketball team will not let down the efforts of this super forward and give him a chance to prove himself again, because he is very worthwhile.
