The quarterfinals of the CBA playoffs are in full swing, and the defending champion Liaoning men's basketball team swept the Shenzhen team 3-0 and took the lead in the top 4 of the playoffs. What is more gratifying than the promotion is that Yang Ming's new recruit Cooper is getting better and better, following the 16 points in 14 minutes in the last round, away against the Shenzhen team, he played 17 minutes, cut 15 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, showing his comprehensiveness, the next Hudson may really be him, however, one of his shortcomings seems to have been revealed.
Cooper's arrival really made the Liaoning men's basketball team's eyes shine, and it was many times stronger than the previous Adams. Although he didn't play in the regular season, Cooper had a smooth run-in on the playoff stage. At the end of the three games, Cooper averaged 13.3 points, 2.3 rebounds and 3 assists per game, which can be described as very comprehensive.
Cooper's strength has actually been shown from the first game. On April 18, Cooper made his debut at home against Shenzhen, and played 10 minutes off the bench, but he shot 4 of 9, 1 of 1 free throw, and got 9 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, giving people a bright feeling.
In the second game, on April 20, Cooper came off the bench and played 14 minutes, he shot 4 of 7, got 16 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists, and made 6 of 6 free throws, which was very stable. Who doesn't love Cooper like that, who can organize, attack, have a lot of energy, and the lad is amazing.
Now, when he came to the away game and played Shenzhen again, under the situation of Moreland's expulsion, Cooper came off the bench and played 17 minutes, he shot 6 of 11, 2 of 3 three-pointers, and scored 15 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, still showing his strength. Such a little foreign aid, you say, who can not love it?
But, don't panic, Cooper has revealed his shortcomings. That's the consistency of the free throw.
Although he hit 7 of 7 free throws in the previous 2 games, in this game, Cooper's free throw stability was not good, and he only hit 1 of 4 free throws, which was really unexpected.
Of course, it is understandable, after all, the Liaoning team is ahead by a large score, and it is okay for Cooper to relax. It's just that in the semifinals, whether it is facing the Guangdong team or the Guangsha team, Cooper can't play like this.
Even if there are small imperfections, this does not affect Cooper's condition. In the history of the Liaoning men's basketball team, Hudson is undoubtedly the most successful foreign aid, and he helped the Liaoning men's basketball team win the first championship trophy in history.
Although there has been a steady influx of new foreign aid, in reality, there is really no one who can compare with Hudson.
Now, Cooper's appearance is eye-catching, the young man has shown super combat power, can organize offense, and can connect the team well, in the situation of Fogg's declining state, next season, Yang Ming has to make a trade-off, I Menglan believes that giving up Fogg and keeping Cooper is undoubtedly a wise choice.
The reason is simple, Cooper is younger, and he can play in the Liaoning team for many years after 00, as long as he wants. In terms of ball quotient, Cooper is online, the young man is humble and low-key, and the overall tone of the Liaoning team is very compatible, which feels like his own person. I Menglan thinks that Yang Ming has no reason not to retain others.
Of course, the multiple-choice questions are not easy to do, how Yang Ming will choose, how the Liaoning men's basketball team will choose, are all problems, first play this season, and then talk about next season.
So, are you optimistic that Cooper will become the next Hudson?
Special statement: It's not easy to be original, thank you for your attention, welcome to forward, let's talk together!
