On January 4, Beijing time, the CBA regular season ignited the fire again, and the Beijing team returned to the home court to face the Qingdao men's basketball team in the face of 4 games and 3 losses. In this game, Fang Shuo, a veteran of the Beijing team, spent 34 minutes and 46 seconds on the court, only 5 of 17 shots, including 5 three-point shots, and only contributed 12 points, 8 assists, 6 rebounds, plus 2 turnovers and 1 foul. At the age of 34, it is not easy for him to take on such a high tactical position and ball possession. But relying solely on personal feelings, how far can the Beijing team go?
Fang Shuo's style of play has always been a hot topic of discussion among fans and the media. His signature long-range three-pointers and step-back mid-range shooting have become his signature moves for the Beijing men's basketball team. In some key offensive rounds, he was even more efficient than some outside players. Whenever he successfully hit these key balls, the media gave him the title of "Fang Chaoju" in a high-profile manner. However, for a 34-year-old veteran, such positioning may be too demanding.
In the case of Qingdao, for example, Fang Shuo made 17 wild shots in less than 35 minutes, while also providing eight assists to help his teammates score. This kind of on-court performance is usually only seen in the absolute core of those teams or outside players. In this game, Fang Shuo only shot 5 of 17, but this performance shows the trust and importance that coach Jorio has in this veteran.
As we all know, the goal of the Beijing team in the new season is to win eight and four in the playoffs. To achieve this, Beijing will not only need veterans such as Fang Shuo and Zhai Xiaochuan to solidify their core framework, but also need them to exert their influence in the dressing room. As a temporary firefighting coach, Jorio has relied on veterans in particular. If the veterans can lead the team to win through excellent performances, it will be a win-win result and in line with the expectations of the management.
However, such a strategy also raises the question of the status and development space of young players in the team. Although the Beijing team needs the experience and consistency of the veterans, the development of young players should not be overlooked. At this level, Beijing's young players need to take advantage of the limited opportunities to prove their worth and potential.
In such a competitive environment as the CBA, the Beijing team faces many challenges. They need to find a balance between the experience of the veterans and the dynamism of the young players. This is not only a test of the overall strength of the team, but also a test of the strategic arrangement and personnel use of the coaching team. How the Beijing team finds the best solution to such a challenge will have a direct impact on their results this season and future development.
In the journey of the new season, the Beijing team faces multiple challenges and choices. While a veteran like Fang Shuo can still play an important role on the pitch, his age and fitness also means that the team needs to rely more on the development and contribution of young players. How to provide opportunities for young players to grow while remaining competitive will be an important issue for them.
