Liaoning men's basketball team after sending Gao Shiyan away, the third guard is vacant, the past two seasons are Zhou Juncheng and Yan Shouqi are competing with each other, this season and Li Huyi and Zhang Junhao two young guards, but as the game deepens, or Yan Shouqi slowly played the main rotation lineup, even in the case of Guo Allen's return from injury, head coach Lopez also gave Yan Shouqi enough playing time.
Yan Handqi was successfully activated
In the last game to beat Guangdong Hongyuan, Yan Shouqi was ordered to start the game for 15 minutes, 4 of 6 in the game, including 4 of 4 three-pointers, 12 points and 1 assist, and a net 7 points over the opponent. In this key battle, Yan Shouqi dared to play when he was given a chance on the court, and in the case of Guangdong Hongyuan scoring key goals in a row, Yan Shouqi hit three points in a row to help the Liaoning men's basketball team bite the score. In addition to contributing 12 points against Guangdong Hongyuan in this game, Yan Shouqi also had a wonderful performance of 12 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals in a single game against the Sichuan men's basketball team, and the efficiency of 5 of 11 was very high.
Yan Shouqi is already a "veteran" of the Liaoning men's basketball team, and has represented the team for five seasons, but due to the ups and downs of his performance on the court, he has not been reused by the coaching staff, and even became a marginal player of the team for a time, averaging only 4 points, 1.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1 steal per game in the best season, and the three-point shooting rate is as low as 26.1%. However, after Lopez served as the head coach of the Liaoning men's basketball team, he chose to vigorously trust Yan Shouqi, although the average data per game did not improve much, but his offensive efficiency on the court created a career high, shooting 38.3%, three-point shooting rate of 44.8%, has become one of the most reliable shooters on the outside of the Liaoning men's basketball team.
López trusts Yan very much
Liaoning men's basketball team once regarded Yan Shouqi as Guo Allen's successor to cultivate, but due to the existence of the twin star combination, Yan Shouqi's playing time and ball possession are very limited, resulting in Yan Shouqi not getting too many opportunities, in the eyes of many fans, with Yan Shouqi's ability level, in other playoff teams, it can play the position of the main rotation, but in the Liaoning men's basketball team Yan Shouqi can only play the role of "spare tire".
Guo Allen missed many games this season due to the impact of a thigh strain, which made the coaching staff deeply aware of the need to tap a potential defender internally as soon as possible, and Yan Shouqi is the best choice. Yan Shouqi can attack and defend well on the court, and his ability to organize and connect is also outstanding, coupled with stable three-point shooting, he can play the role of third guard and relieve more pressure for Zhao Jiwei and Guo Allen. There are a total of 52 rounds in the regular season this season, the season is very long, Lopez's employment strategy is very correct, only by activating more young players, Liaoning men's basketball team can complete the great cause of three consecutive championships.
