Gao Shiyan recently said in an interview with the media that he said something inconsequential, he said that pure basketball should be played by pure people.
His words were alluding to the fact that the chairman of the Shandong team was interfering in the team's basketball.
The Shandong team has become no longer pure, because their chairman loves basketball very much, and what he loves most is the work of coaching.
On the court, he had to draw tactics for the players, and pushed Ding Wei to argue with the referee, and in the training session, he had to divide the team into the AB team, himself as the head coach of the A team, and Ding Wei as the head coach of the B team, and then he was very dissatisfied after losing, and even banned Gao Shiyan for a game after Gao Shiyan scored a three-point shot.
Gao Shiyan must be very dissatisfied with this, and feels that the basketball of the Shandong team has become no longer pure.
Because of these circumstances, Gao Shiyan has performed very poorly this season, as he said this season is his most struggling season, and his three-point shooting rate is only 27%.
Gao Shiyan was still playing under Gong Xiaobin when he was most brilliant, and at that time the Shandong team was called the purest basketball, and it was also the favorite team of fans. They have a very good style and they have a very good team, and they have done very well, and they have been able to reach the last four and then they have been going down for several seasons.
But in Gao Shiyan's dark moments, his mentor Guo Shiqiang helped him solve his psychological problems. He is very grateful to Guo Shiqiang for his help, and late at night after the game, Guo Shiqiang will call him to encourage and comfort him, Guo Shiqiang is really a very good coach.
There is also encouragement from Zhang Zhenlin. Zhang Zhenlin told Gao Shiyan that the only one who can save himself is himself.
Maybe Zhang Zhenlin can empathize with Gao Shiyan, they have both been questioned and criticized by fans.
In particular, Zhang Zhenlin's situation is more complicated than Gao Shiyan's, and his bearing the title of Wang Fang's son makes people feel that he is just following his mother and has no personal strength.
Everyone is talking about Zhang hugging his head, listening to his mother's words, etc., but Zhang Zhenlin is very strong, and he still wants to prove himself with his actions.
In the face of the fans' accusations against him, Gao Shiyan said that he accepted it calmly, and only by playing the ball well would he not be subject to more controversy.
This season's Shandong team seems to be hopeless, and Gao Shiyan's performance is still not ideal.
But ability is one thing, attitude is one thing, Gao Shiyan is indeed not very good, but his attitude is here, and he will be liked by fans.
