Chapter 1: Liaoning's winning streak and stable rankings
1.1 Behind the three-game winning streak
In the past week, the CBA Liaoning team has won a wave of three consecutive victories with excellent performances, making their position in the top four of the standings very stable. Impressively, this series of victories was achieved without the team's core Guo Allen.
1.2 The power of a stable system
Despite some fatigue in the team, the Liaoning team still showed excellent game form with a stable system. On December 20, Liao Basket easily defeated Shanxi at home, and the key to this victory was not an accident, but thanks to the team's stable system.
Chapter 2: Yan Shouqi's outstanding performance
2.1 The emergence of substitute defenders
In the game against Shanxi, Liaoning team's substitute defender Yan Shouqi became the focus. Although the stats are not flashy, he showed an impressive performance in 21 minutes of playing time.
2.2 Key moments in the shooting feel
Yan Shouqi showed a strong body and excellent defensive skills in the game, but what is more commendable is that he found his shooting touch at critical moments and successfully hit the first two three-pointers, stabilized the situation of the Liaoning team, and injected new vitality into the team's offense.
2.3 Defensive skills and team trust
As a backup defender, Yan Shouqi's most prominent characteristics are physical strength and excellent defense. Although he is not particularly good at passing organization, in a team like Liaoning with playmakers such as Zhao Jiwei, his defensive ability has become the key to his manager's trust.
Chapter 3: Yan Shouqi's basketball experience and dilemma
3.1 Two years of waste
In the past few years, Yan has spent two years under Guo Shiqiang, but his playing time is better than nothing. His basketball career hit a low point at one point.
3.2 Intra-Team Competition and Abandonment
In 2020, with the appointment of Yang Ming, Yan Shouqi became the third substitute for the Liaoning team, mainly relying on his defensive skills. However, due to the lack of interest in him by new head coach Hugo López and the rise of new young players in the squad, he was gradually dropped and barely made the 12-man squad.
3.3 Regain trust
On the 6th of this month, Yan regained the trust of the head coach against the Guangsha team, and his playing time increased. During the game, his defensive performance was recognized and his scoring gradually increased, which allowed him to regain his footing in the team.
Chapter 4: The Rise and Challenges of Young Players
4.1 The new manager's preference for young players
The new head coach Hugo López's preference for young players led to the abandonment of Yan Shouqi, while Liao Basket promoted Li Huyi and Zhang Junhao, two post-00s players. These two young players have replaced Yan Shouqi to a certain extent.
4.2 Weaknesses of young players
However, as the season progressed, the inexperience of the young players gradually became apparent. Zhang Junhao's chances were limited, and Li Huyi's defensive weaknesses were becoming more and more apparent, especially when playing hard.
Chapter 5: Allen Guo's support and the transformation of the player
5.1 Allen Kwok's support
In the past few years, Guo Allen has publicly expressed his support for Yan Shouqi on the sidelines. In the ridicule of fans after the finals, he expressed his support for Yan Shouqi, believing that his basic skills in the CBA are very strong.
5.2 Player's Self-Improvement
The self-improvement of players is a factor that cannot be ignored. Through his on-court performances, Yan proved his strength and showed that it doesn't make sense to just have talent and not deliver on it. His resurgence is not only due to the manager's trust, but also to his own efforts and improvements.
epilogue
Behind the winning streak of the Liaoning men's basketball team, Yan Shouqi's emergence has become a new highlight of the team. His defensive prowess, consistent shooting touch and performance in key moments have earned him the trust of his head coach again. Although he was once abandoned, Yan Shouqi showed the transformation and growth of players on the road of basketball through unremitting efforts and on-court strength. This also injected new vitality into the Liaoning team and provided more possibilities for future games.
