In the face of the Shanghai team's iron bucket formation, our Beijing team not only failed to resist the pressure, but instead staged a "great drama of infighting" and finally suffered a crushing defeat to the opponent, losing not only points but also all face. That game, which can be described as "miserable", was already 23 points behind in the first half, and the biggest gap in the whole game was close to 30 points, and finally ended in a big defeat by 14 points.
Speaking of the coach of the Beijing team, Jorio, the coach is really incomprehensible, at the critical moment of the playoffs, he is still sticking to his "all the soldiers" strategy, 12 people in rotation, as if playing a game of "anyone can go up, anyone can play". In this game, Zhai Xiaochuan played well, but when he was showing bravery, Jorio decided to replace him, this change didn't matter, and directly replaced the team's momentum! When Zhai Xiaochuan got off the field, that look could kill, and even the mineral water bottle was smashed to the ground, and he was very angry.
The reaction of the media and fans was also fried, and basketball reporters Jia Lei and Zhou He both bombarded Jorio's substitution strategy. Jia Lei said directly, he felt that this kind of playoff rotation was simply self-defeating. And Zhou He's opinion is even more straightforward: "Coach, don't change people blindly, okay?" Listen, this tone is simply saying: "You toss so much that we can't stand it!"
Next, looking at Jorio's response, it turned out to be quite optimistic, saying that even without Booker and Leaf, the Beijing team still has the strength to compete with the Shanghai team at home. I really don't know where this confidence comes from! Fans and the media are beginning to wonder, how far can such a coach lead the Beijing team to go?
This defeat is not only a matter of the game, but also a big test of the overall tactics and management system of the Beijing team. Both Jorio and Min Lulei have strange coaching styles, and the substitution strategy is puzzling. Isn't it clear that the rhythm of the entire team will be brought down if the poor ones are used and those who play well will be replaced? Now, the entire basketball community in Beijing is reflecting on what kind of tactics and what kind of coaching style we need.
For Jorio, we really have to evaluate it. His "random substitution" tactics may get the team out of the playoffs early. This practice of replacing players who have performed well at critical moments has undoubtedly weakened the team's coherence and consistency. The challenge for the Beijing team is not only a matter of technique and physical fitness, but also how to play consistently at critical moments, which is directly related to the future direction of the team.
This game may also be an opportunity for the transformation and upgrading of the Beijing team, or it may be the beginning of continued sinking. The question now is, how can the Beijing team avoid similar defeats in future games? The answer may only be answered by time, but all the attention and discussion will promote the maturity of Beijing basketball. As for Jorio, he needs not only to rethink his substitution strategy, but also to improve his overall tactical layout ability, otherwise, he may really become the disgraceful record holder of the worst coach in the CBA.
Coach Jorio, I hope you can hear the voices of the fans and don't let us down again. We look forward to seeing an even stronger Beijing team go all the way in the future competitions!
