Powell sent a farewell message
"I don't know what to say, but my first year in China was very successful! Qingdao has become my second home, and I'm very excited about what comes next, and the marathon has to go on. Qingdao team foreign aid Powell posted a farewell to this season, he has left the Qingdao team, it can be seen that Powell likes to play in the Qingdao team very much, but the Qingdao team will not necessarily renew his contract next season.
In the regular season, Powell averaged 25.2 points, 7.1 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game, leading the Qingdao team to 7th place. Facing the Guangzhou team ranked 10th in the playoffs, the outside world thought that the Qingdao team would advance, but did not expect the Guangzhou team to sweep the Qingdao team 2-0. Powell is averaging 26.5 points per game for 8. 5 rebounds and 9 assists, but his performance was questioned, and his shooting percentage was not high! In the first game, Powell contributed a triple-double of 23 points, 10 rebounds and 14 assists, but only 6 of 19 shots, and the shooting rate was only 31.6%. In the second game, Qingdao collapsed early, with Powell scoring 30 points on 10-of-25 shooting.
Powell does look strong and has beautiful stats, but his style of play requires the ball very much, he doesn't like to pass the ball very much, and his style of play is more stubborn. If there was a defender who was more willing to pass the ball, Yang Hansen might have fared better. However, Powell is a very good person, often giving gifts to the coaching staff, players, and staff of the Qingdao team, and there is nothing to say about professionalism.
There is a high probability that the Qingdao team will find foreign aid again
Recently, Liu Weiwei was interviewed by Qingdao media, talking about the offseason preparations, Liu Weiwei said that everyone is unwilling to stop the playoff quarterfinals, and the preparations for next season have begun.
Therefore, Powell is likely to be given up by Liu Weiwei, and Liu Weiwei needs a small foreign aid who can drive the whole team, not a small foreign aid like Powell who can only score. Personally, I think that Liu Weiwei's coaching ability is somewhat overestimated, and he will not use foreign aid in the Zhejiang team, resulting in the team not going far in the playoffs every year. This offseason, the Qingdao team will sum up, the young players will train hard and come back next season.
