In the CBA, there are players shining every season, some flashing away like shooting stars, and some like the brightest stars in the night sky, continuing to shine. Yan Shouqi is undoubtedly the latter, and his rise in the Liaoning men's basketball team is becoming the focus of heated discussions. Last year, he was only a substitute in the team, but now he has become a mainstay in the team, and the transformation in between, is worth savoring.
In the world of basketball, the stats and scores are the most powerful proof of this. In the past, Yan scored less than double digits per game, but this season, his scoring ability has improved dramatically, averaging more than 15 points per game, and his three-point shooting percentage has also improved significantly. In the last game of Liaoning vs. Guangdong, Yan contributed 22 points, including 4 of 5 three-point shots, and his efficient performance helped the team win 107-95. Every fast-break layup and every accurate outside shot he made was an important factor in Liao's victory.
Transformation is often not achieved overnight, and behind Yan Shouqi's ascension is countless times of training and practice. His quick movement on the defensive end and his intelligence to run off the ball on the offensive end are the result of countless drills he has worked on in practice. Not only did he make a qualitative leap in technique, but he also showed maturity in the on-the-spot adaptation of the game. His ability to create sharp breakthroughs or deliver crucial assists against tough opponents makes him an indispensable tactical enforcer for the coaching staff.
Just like leading or reversing again and again on the basketball court, Yan Shouqi's personal growth is also self-transcendence again and again. On the Circle, his maturity and composure increasingly became the fear of his opponents. His growth is not only a demonstration of his personal talent, but also a manifestation of the achievements of the Liaoning men's basketball team in cultivating young players. The trust and support of the team, coupled with the unremitting efforts of the individual, have jointly created Yan Shouqi today.
With his performances this season, Yan has become an indispensable member of the Liao Basketball team, and his story has inspired countless young players. He proved that opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, and once they seize them, they can make a career. The future of Liao Basket is full of more possibilities because of Yan Shouqi.
