In the first game of the series between Zhejiang Chouzhou and Shanghai Jiushi in the 1/4 finals of the CBA2023-24 playoffs, the Zhejiang men's basketball team sitting at home won the game and won the opening with a sudden 29-13 offensive climax in the last 9 minutes of the final quarter. For the Shanghai team, this game was able to fight with the Zhejiang team for most of the time, proving that their strength is still online, but the final collapse came too suddenly, and it is inevitable that they will be unwilling. Looking at the data column of the players of the Shanghai team, compared with the outstanding performance of Xuebu, Liu Zheng, Li Hongquan, Bacon and others, Wang Zhelin, who was also the MVP of the CBA regular season last season, performed very unsatisfactory.
In this game, the king played 26 minutes, 3 of 9 in the athletic battle, 2 of 7 free throws, and handed over 8 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist. Some fans may say that Wang Zhelin only contributed 6 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists in the last game, what is so strange. You must know that in the last battle with the Beijing BAIC series, Shanghai Jiushi got a big lead early, and it is understandable for the king to paddle and save his physical strength, and in the relatively empty Beijing team inside, Wang Zhelin has also proved himself.
But this time it was different, the scores of the Shanghai and Zhejiang teams were staggered, and the fight was inseparable, and it was when Wang Zhelin, who was the star of the house, needed to step forward, but he was invisible...... At that time, the Shanghai team did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to bring the king from Fujian to the magic capital, but they didn't want to show off their muscles in the regular season. However, whether it is against the young junior Yu Jiahao or the light inside Perry, who is not as tall as himself, Wang Zhelin has not been able to take advantage, and even fell steadily, which is very embarrassing.
Originally, after this game, Wang Zhelin's career total score came to 9093 points, surpassing Tang Zhengdong's 9087 points, and jumped to the seventh place in the CBA all-time scoring list, which is a milestone worth celebrating. But because of the bitter loss of the game, it became "mileage sadness". But in all fairness, no one else is to blame, the Shanghai team did their best, but it was the king who failed to take on the responsibility of the leader, and his performance is to blame.
But there are also such voices, thinking that the Shanghai men's basketball team originally had the opportunity to retain the suspense of the game, but the two foreign aides with online abilities lost control of their emotions, causing the Shanghai team's offense to collapse in the final quarter. Indeed, whether it was Bacon who dragged down Lu Wenbo in the process of returning to the defense and was sentenced to a physical foul, or Bledsoe and Wu Qian's rivalry, not to mention the words, he hit Wu from behind and then hit the back of the head to receive his sixth foul, these extreme moves were very undesirable and had an impact on the battle situation. But these are all part of the game, and even this is the embodiment of the two foreign aids' desire to win, is it possible that at this time I miss the "best mentality" Feng Lean?
The reason is that Wang Zhelin lost himself and gave all the part he should have borne to his teammates. The emotions of foreign aids, the Shanghai team is bound to find a way to channel them, and pay attention to them in the follow-up games, at least Bledsoe and Bacon's ability is fine, and they also have the desire to win. What really gave the Shanghai team a headache was Wang Zhelin's state, what was the king thinking, and did he still have the determination to break the kettle and vow to defend the home field? It's not interesting to talk too much about the clichés, it depends on how Wang Zhelin adjusts, the 30-year-old is in the year of fighting, is it so old-fashioned to sink down?
