The performance of the Beijing BAIC basketball team this season can be described as a dramatic end. Although the expectations were high, they were eventually eliminated by Shanghai in the first round of the playoffs, and even a number of players were ejected for misconduct at the end of the tournament, which undoubtedly brought a huge blow to the team's morale and image.
This season, Beijing BAIC's overall performance has been full of ups and downs. In the regular season, they barely qualified for the playoffs, which already shows the many challenges the team faces. Especially in the crucial playoff game against Shanghai, Beijing BAIC not only lost the game, but also was expelled in the final stage of the game because of the emotional loss of control of several players, which almost became a microcosm of their problems this season.
From the data point of view, Beijing BAIC in the game against Shanghai, the overall shooting rate was only 42%, and the three-point shooting rate was as low as 30%. At the same time, the team also appeared to be weak on the defensive end, giving the opposing scorer too many opportunities to score easily under the basket. The Shanghai team's rapid counterattack and accurate outside shooting made Beijing BAIC's defense line repeatedly flawed.
This performance of the team has also sparked discussions about the mentality and responsibilities of the players. Fang Shuo admitted in a post-match TV interview that their actions were indeed excessive, but it was driven by extreme disappointment and frustration. He believes it's not just the players' problem, it's also a reflection of the immaturity of the team as a whole when it's under pressure.
In addition, the team's veterans are also facing turning points in their careers. Fang Shuo admits that his form has slipped as he has aged, and the team has performed better when his playing time has decreased. This makes one wonder if it's time for the young players to take on more responsibility. Although Zhu Yanxi and Zhai Xiaochuan remain optimistic about their future, they also know that the team needs fresh blood to continue to be competitive.
Zhai Xiaochuan chose to play with an injury despite facing injuries, showing his loyalty to the team and love for the game. Still, his insistence also reflects the need for more caution in managing the health of its players.
This season for Beijing BAIC is a severe test for the team. Not only do they need to make technical and tactical adjustments, but more importantly, they need to undergo deep reflection and improvement at the psychological and managerial levels. How to learn from their failures and rebuild a team with a fresh spirit will be key for the next season.
Although the Beijing BAIC basketball team was highly anticipated this season, they ended their journey dramatically by losing to Shanghai in the first round of the playoffs. Unfortunately, a number of players were ejected at the end of the season due to emotional outbursts, which not only affected the team's morale, but also dealt a blow to its image.
The team's performance fluctuated a lot throughout the season. They barely made it to the playoffs, but clearly failed to perform as well as they should in key matchups. Especially in the game against Shanghai, the overall shooting rate was only 42%, the three-point shot was as low as 30%, and there were frequent loopholes on the defensive end, which could not effectively prevent the opponent from scoring.
From a player's point of view, Fang Shuo admits that the excesses are due to disappointment and frustration, which reflects the team's immaturity in the face of pressure. As he got older, he realised that he needed to put more responsibility on his younger players. At the same time, Zhai Xiaochuan continued to play despite suffering from injury, showing loyalty and love for the team, which also reminded the team to be more cautious in managing the health of its players.
Through these measures, the Beijing BAIC basketball team can not only improve at the technical level, but also achieve breakthroughs in psychology and team building, so as to achieve better results in the coming season. In short, sports competition is not only a competition on the field, but also a comprehensive test of strategy, psychology and teamwork. The future development of the Beijing BAIC basketball team will be the continuous optimization and improvement of these capabilities.
